Opinion Name 3 things you would like to see in 2023

[Ochre]

Must have only had WAFL flag in your top 5

Oh it was number 1 but this isn't the Claremont board.

 

[WCE_phil]

1. two under 23 year old players to show they are future rolled gold A graders. (I believe in most instances you need at least 6 of them to win a flag with 1 dropping off due to injury or in essence a top tier player on every line of the field)
2. 3 rising star nominations
3. being greedy but the combination of more ground/contested ball and more inside 50's.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

1.Aurora Borealis

At this time of year?

 

[Lia]

Less injuries, coherent direction for the style of play and most importantly some positive signs from younger players.

 

[THE A5]

At this time of year?

Yep and hope localized within my kitchen

 

[Bestbird]

1. Decent run with injuries
2. Young Midfielders competing well at AFL level
3. Exciting revamp to the gameplan

 

[triplegee]

1. Contested possessions to become our strength
2. Games into the youth
3. Gaff to show his value to the team

 

[Altum Volantes]

Must have only had WAFL flag in your top 5

Went don’t wanna win the bloody WAFL flag, they’ll take the team off us again.

 

[omgfridge]

1. Gaff to have 0 CBAs for the season

2. A fit and firing Tom Cole who emulates peak Brad Sheppard

3. Gameplay change with 4 quarter efforts

Gets his hot Mrs pinched by a much younger team mate?

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

1. Much, much higher defensive effort levels (i.e. tackling, chasing and running both ways) and fitness leels
2. No more than one or two absolute hidings (i.e. losses by 70 points or more) even if we finish in bottom 4 and lose a lot more games than we win
3. A much better organised system for delivering the ball into the forward 50 that minimises quick rebounds out of F50, and that includes plans for the forwards to seperate from each other and present a 1 on 1 option rather than cluster in packs, and better decision making by the ball carrier kicking the ball in

Simpson said it about right on SEN yesterday, the WAFL clubs want us to be good, just not that good - basically competitive enough to not quite make finals

 

[random260]

Kenneth Hinkley proving all his haters wrong and getting a new contract

Harley reid coming to wce

Devon Robertson coming to wce

Ginbey not proving to be a bust and better then philpaou

Dom Sheed has to step it up now. He needs to prove he can be the crux of our mid during transition period along with Kelly.

Allen has to deliver on a 50 goal season

 

[MeltMan]

1) No
2) Not
3) There!

Sex life?
Hope no one beat me off** to it

Could we agree to not have a position on the ladder and not play finals but just have the other clubs playing us for 4 points for their own position on the ladder every week? Pretty radical and not ideal from our POV, i realise we would prefer our players to exposure to finals, but if it placated the other WAFL clubs enough for us to be able to field a more competitive side without them pissing and moaning then it might be a good trade off.

You have to wonder how much our young players actually learn playing in games where we get soundly beaten most weeks. It would be much, much better for them to play in tighter more competitive games that weren't over by half time, even if we have to make concessions to be able to get that.

I think that's similar to how Crows SANFL works. I think they still get the points but can't qualify for finals. Similar to what happened to essendon in 2013 once they were found to be drug cheats.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Being a greedy Kent I want four things:

1. The margin of any loss be to no more than 20 points.

2. Three rising star nominations.

3. Evidence of a new more effective game plan.

4.The Club and or Nissy announce the succession plan for the CEO position.

I am not at all fussed if we don’t win many games and finish down the bottom again, providing we give the youth a good exposed run in the league AND we reduce the magnitude of the drubbings that we have endured the past few years.

#4 is a pretty high priority in my opinion

 

[flamingEMBERS]

1. Senior players adjust their roles fast tracking development of younger players ie Yeo/Shuey/Kelly not playing 90% mid each
2. Allen/Darling combination to be top 5 goal kicking combo in the league
3. Be top 5 in the league for running bounces

Said it before and I'll say it again.

The VFL should become the AFL Reserves (history repeating) and our reserves side should join that comp.

It's just the WA and SA teams that are missing.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

1. Chesser playing out the year mostly injury free
2. Jack Williams developing into our third best key forward
3. Liam Ryan taking the mark of the millennium

 

[The wily weagle]

Improvement in these exact 3 areas which have plagued our team for the last few seasons:

1) Contested ball
2) Ground ball
3) Tackling

 

[eaglespremiers]

Would love to see Darling kick 60+ goals and end top 3 in the Coleman. Not a sponsor.

 

[briztoon]

Rising Star - Will Ashcroft.
Brownlow - Josh Dunkley.
Premiership - Brisbane Lions.

You spelled Campbell Chesser, Tim Kelly and West Coast Eagles wrong

0/3
