So shep, kennedy and kelly are definite outs. Gov also a chance to miss.
Would be hilarious if we won this week. Scrape into finals...then bring in the old brigade for finals and get pumped.

Just waiting for an Obeanie special where we trade Ainsworth for Bontempelli in a fancy five way trade.
I think a lot of us have been overly critical of our team in '21. We have been decimated from the get-go. This week, Shuey will play only his 6th game. Yeo and Kelly missed big chunks, as have many others. Now, we learn Gov has been playing injured for most of the season. Injury wrecked our season before it had a chance to get rolling.

Then reward the players that have infinite credits in the bank, for a final or round 1 next year.

Injuries or no injuries, this list shouldn’t be missing finals. And we’ve looked better at times with weaker sides on paper IMO.

Not injuries, just players not wanting to go through another two weeks of home quarantine having just coming out of it after the pies loss, especially for a dead rubber. Lets be honest, its a dead rubber.
Also I'm a bit pissy they moved Saints/Freo to tassie simply so Freo dont have to quarantine coming home, why couldn't the AFL do the same with us?
I’m starting to think the lack of dropping of stars this year is due to Simmo and the MC probably thinking our WAFL options are spudly. We had the same issues in 2017 and both now and then he has flagged a need to hit the draft.
Wight Wolf
Senior List
Putting Allen down back is a complete hindrance to his development. Would be better served at WAFL level if he isnt up forward, shits me to no end seeing him defend.
I’ve wondered if perhaps it’s not just pigheadedness/backing the boys in, but at least partially related to the salary cap.
I’m no expert on the issue, but I remember hearing similar rumblings around another club (maybe Adelaide?) who couldn’t afford to drop players, because they had so many players on high base salaries.
The logic being that players with lower base wages would need to be paid match payments and might also hit contract triggers which would put further strain on the cap.
I could see it being an issue for a mature list like ours with a bursting cap. We would likely have a lot of contracts structured so they don’t even pay match payments, the salary is guaranteed. Probably doesn’t leave us a lot of room for players on matchies.
If true that is poor list management by list manager and CEO who signed off on arrangements.
It has been mentioned by someone else WCE didn’t often (ever?) pay their starts excess salaries so all got a relevant piece of the pie and team success came. Recent re-signings have seemingly gone against our modus operandi.
On related note - I see Haselby wrote an article for this mornings paper indicating behind scenes issues are present at WCE. Similarly the east coast boys clubs reportedly asked some questions of behind the scenes.
Assuming we deservedly miss finals I will be watching who goes, stays, demoted and promoted in an effort to try and make sense of the 2020/2021 train wreck.
No JK sounds like we going the tank!
No Willie either with a hammy lol

Glad we are getting these surgery's out the way in August instead of early October.
Tank baby.

Willie pinged his hammie earlier than expected
Yeah, I don't mind it. By all means play to win but don't pick injured players when it's going to ruin their pre-season. Especially when those same players already missed large chunks of the last pre-season.
100%.
I'd be pretty reluctant sending Shuey over too given his year tbh
So the forced changes are:
Out Gov in HEdwards
Out Shep in Rotham
Out Kelly in Brander
Out JK in Waterman
And hopefully also:
Out Vardy in Williams
Out Gov in HEdwards
Out Shep in Rotham
Out Kelly in Brander

And hopefully also:

Just forfeit.
Playing almost every available tall on our list would be a very WC thing to do in a dead rubber
