Probably a combination of things
-- it's really hard to play well and develop in the WAFL team over recent years. Just too little talent to play a style and becomes every man for himself scenerio
-- Simmo having certain views on players & what he was trying to achieve at AFL level
Development...
Absolutely - to see the joy when they are first selected then come off knowing they have contributed is wonderful.
Some have natural swagger others are more reserved but to have them thank you for helping them live their dream is really fulfilling and makes you proud like you're their dad.
Actually I reckon the club has a view a little like mine which is "I'm not sure"
Yes WC could do with a free hit at a couple of players like North did. And this is an outcomes based industry, so anything that can help achieve a good result should be considered. And I'm sure any embarrassment...
Recruiters will go about their normal operations collecting information and forming opinions.
Nothing much changes its only towards the end where a coach gets involved
Hey MM - I think all can see the game plan is less structured so to speak. It's about showing us what you have that got you drafted.
As there is no 2025 coach right now, the caretaker mode is to see who can play at the level. Good players will be good players under any coach show show us you're...
I hope Jai stays because he's so much fun to be around, but the reality is he's not playing much now and with Hewitt back next year, & the club seeking midfield options at years end, then there might not be a place for him.
Any re-signings should be left for the club to announce publicly.
1) given Barrass is under contract its up to the destination club to find the keys to unlock the deal regardless of "what they currently have"
2) By Warner 'costing' too much - do you mean cost in the sense of draft picks or money?
If I came across as cocky or suggesting we don't care - then I apologise as that was not intention.
Drafting is an incredibly stressful and difficult process. It is also quite subjective so there are a number of differing opinions on just about every kid.
Lawson is a great kid from an...
Nick trained several times but was always suffering some type of soreness/injury at the time which held him back.
There was a feeling that the timing was just off when he was around and clubs have to.move fairly fast in that space
Agree on all points WCE_phil
I think he will surprise a lot of people. IMO easily the player with the most potential out of all taken - and let's be honest, isn't that what the MSD is about for teams in WC's position?
The game and the umpiring have gone so far away from the game I played and loved it's embarrassing. When you have luminaries like Hodge and Richardson completely lost with some of the umpiring decisions, you know there is a problem.
I've sort of answered that above. Clubs tag players off half back nowdays because of what they set up - Stewart, Clark, Whitfield etc.
WC don't currently have a mid season pick so Hopkins is a bit of a moot point - but the kid can play. Travaglia similarly but I think there are others that will...
Good running half backs with good kicking and decision making skills are critical nowdays.
Perryman the person and Perryman the footballer would be a good addition to any side.
Discussions revolved around Chesser playing outside it was felt that spot played to his running and kicking strengths. Doesn't mean to say he won't get opportunities inside going forward but he needs to learn certain running patterns.
Clubs always enquire about player availability - that's the...
I don't think social media is the place to discuss these matters other than to give my own personal thoughts which are
1) too soon
2) he knows WC's thoughts.
3) rumours are just that.
1) the WAFL team is in a much better position than last year or the years before that both on an off- field. The issues were/are around the allowances by the league which they have acknowledged will change going forward.
2) WC injuries are no worse than any other club.
3) WC fitness levels...
