I would assume if Ashcroft doesn’t nominate Brisbane it’s because his manager has been in discussions with North about whether they would pick him and they have said yes. Which would mean Wardlaw would be available at 2.

I dare say he’s going to Lions and he has plenty of time to nominate but you never know.

There was speculation that North due to having taken JHF they would ignore Wardlaw and possibly take a outside runner In Tsatas or a KPF in Lemmey at Pick 1 ..

Lemmey would have to have a huge back half of the year. If they are confident on keeping Horne Francis then yes Tsatas, Sheezel or Lemmey make a lot of sense.
 
I’d love to have him but he’d cost too much.

I think we need to hit the draft hard, we certainly won’t be competing for the flag for a few years yet, so it would almost be a waste grabbing Smith now.
I take it you haven’t seen the photo do the rounds today.

I have now, that's for the heads up!
What a Goose. I've done some silly things over the years but why would you do this? You'd have to know it's going to get out.

Even with clouded judgement, there is still a base(LINE) you can drop below. Often referred to a stupidity ;)
I usually reside under that line.
Obviously its not a great look but the mental health card has been in play for months now. Nothing to see here
Much like buddys mental health break years ago

West Coast veteran Shannon Hurn says he has not yet decided to hang up the boots this season, but acknowledged it won’t be solely his decision to make.

Hurn, 34, said he did not intend pulling the pin during the season and wanted to complete his 17th AFL campaign.

In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, Hurn also:

  • Backed premiership coach Adam Simpson as the right man to lead the club’s rebuild;
  • Forecast a swift return to being competitive for the struggling Eagles;
  • Said the players wanted to win games on the run home rather than collect the no.1 draft pick.

Hurn, who turns 35 in September, holds West Coast’s games record at 310. He will also take Sam Mitchell’s record (34-years, 339-days) as the oldest player to represent the club if he plays in the round 22 western derby or the final round match against Geelong.

The premiership skipper said there had been no discussion with the club about a farewell match this season. The Eagles’ clash with Adelaide at Optus Stadium in round 21 is their last home game.

“You just don’t know how it goes, but my plan is I’ll keep playing for as long as I can,” Hurn said.

“The two basic things will be: do I still think I can perform at a level?, and then does the club still think I can and do they want me?

“So I don’t really want to make those decisions now, because it’s still ages away – end of the year and next year. But they’ll be the two discussion points and they’ll probably be the two questions I would have thought.

“If you go ‘ah well, this is it’, I think you just mentally switch off. So I’m not doing that. I just want to play for as long as I can. And there will be a point there somewhere, but right now I’m not really thinking about that.”

Hurn cautioned against a widespread player cull, adamant the Eagles could quickly begin to turn things around from next season.

“If you throw the baby out with the bath water, I just think that doesn’t work as well,” he said.
“But for sure, there are periods there where there will be a changeover of some description.

“People go ‘get rid of all these blokes who have been there for a while and get all the new people in’. You still need a mixture of senior people helping set a standard and helping young blokes.

“And yes for sure, we need some young blokes to come in and give them some time and exposure to the game. And I think we’ve been able to do that this year through numerous different reasons.”
The South Australian product, who escaped to Cervantes during the players’ four-day leave break ahead of this weekend’s bye, believed a West Coast revival could be far swifter than many have predicted.

“You never really know,” Hurn said.
“But I think we’ve got enough younger blokes coming into the squad that have enough ability and enough talent. It’s just themselves taking real ownership and putting in some hard work and getting there.

“So that can take a year. That might take two years. But I think if we show consistent improvement, we will be OK and we’ll be back.

“You can’t get out and say we’re going to play finals in the next amount of years, because you don’t know. But I would have thought next year and the year after that we’ll be playing some very competitive football.

“The club’s always had a high standard. Which I think is good.”
With the Eagles sitting last with a 1-11 record at their bye, Hurn said winning some of their last 10 matches was firmly on the agenda despite the likelihood it may cost them the first pick in the national draft.

“I honestly don’t think anyone does that (tanking). We definitely won’t be doing that,” he said.
“No doubt we’ll probably have an early pick somewhere, but it’s certainly not a focus of the playing group to have that (no.1 pick).

“We’re focussed on trying to get better and get a few more wins for sure. How many that is, I don’t know. It’s more about being consistent in how we go about it.”

Hurn said Simpson, who he held the premiership cup with in 2018, was the man to lead the rebuild.
Simpson is in his ninth season at the Eagles and is contracted for a further two seasons.

“When he first came here, we were probably still a bit of a developing list,” Hurn said.
“He’s done it before and I certainly think he can do it again.

“There’s certainly been a bit of extra noise around the club and a few positions. But I think what he’s done has been great.
“He’s clear with what we want to do going forward. I think he communicates that pretty well with the playing group. And that’s all you really want.

“When things aren’t going well, you just want some steadiness and a direction to go forward and I think Simmo’s been able to provide that.”
 
I've posted about him before, but one for next years draft. WA played Claremont in a warm up match, most of the guns sit out the match (Hewitt, Broadbent etc) but it gives opportunity to the rest of the squad. Haven't seen him play but was 2nd best on yesterday.

"Bottom-aged 205cm Peel talent Mitch Edwards, part of Fremantle’s Next Generation Academy, showed some promising signs with his ruck work and aggression."

He's a few centimetres taller than Broadbent and a year younger.

Jack Cleaver who I'm a fan of and would love to draft, was also in the best.
