Coach McQualter Named As New West Coast Coach

[Ashman23]

Good choice, good luck to him and WCE.

 

[Pacman82]

Good luck to the AFL's latest merged side, the West Tigers

All the best to the club/coach. He doesn't strike me as the ruthless sort.. the sort that will demand the players go for a 5am swim on a Sunday morning after a 15 goal loss on the Saturday. But perhaps he connects more with the younger generation than some of the old heads.

I think the days of a 5am swim after a heavy loss are long gone.

All the good one went to Freo

Interesting he wins the job and the eagles were also chasing all those tiger players .

Who have now all committed

Got a whiff of tail wagging the dog feel about it

I dont think West Coast are "chasing" those blokes, at least not seriously. Baker is a "table scraps" pickup (despite the Vic media howling for Pick 13, which we dont even have yet) and I think we're playing silly buggers with your mob and trying to push up Bolton's trade currency.

Good luck Mini. Have WC already bottomed out and ready to climb with Mini, or are they yet to bottom out and going to give Mini 2 years of pain preceding a sacking? Only five months till we start to find out.

 

[CharacterFirst]

Good for the Cats.

Half the list is under 21.

Try again buddy.

About to trade out Barrass 29 and Darling 32.

Leaves over 30s

McGovern 32
Cripps 32
Yeo 30
Kelly 30

And that's it folks. Half the list?

The issue is 3 out those 4 are in your top 5/6 players.

Is that the issue we were discussing?

No.....it wasn't.

The issue raised by the troll was the Eagles have no youth for a development coach to develop.

Our list is either very young or very old.
Its rare that 18-21 year olds are better than some genuine star A-grade players in their later years.

We have Waterman and Allen in that middle age bracket who are A-graders now, but nobody else.
Give the kids a chance to develop before talking about our top 5/6 players

McQualter and Skipworth an underwhelming final two candidates

Obviously playing ability doesn't necessarily translate to coaching ability but I think the senior coach at least needs some presence

Yze and now McQualter, uggh, would be devastated if either were coaching my team
