Yeah but his intent is there so he'll go ok,he's an inside mid, hes strong over the ball, i think its more about willingness.
He'll be a lot better than gaff or sheed in that dept

The West

West Coast insist star midfielder Elliot Yeo is fully fit and simply being managed after not training with the main group for the entire week.
Yeo has spent two seasons battling osteitis pubis but appeared to be in good condition after returning to training for the 2022 campaign.
His sudden removal from the main group to join players such as Liam Ryan and Liam Duggan, who have been building their fitness in the rehab group sparked concerns, but West Coast say he is just following his own program.
The Eagles’ pre-season stepped up a notch on Friday as they competed in full ground match simulation with AFL umpires officiating.
Oscar Allen, Jack Darling and Connor West stood out throughout the session, which predominantly pitted the best players against the fringe group and a host of top-ups.
West’s form was a significant positive given he was in the strong team.
He played only five games last season after being selected in the mid-season draft, but has changed his body shape to transition from being a contested ball winner to someone who can play as both an inside and outside midfielder.
The Eagles had two six minute sessions, which was dominated by the team of stars.
They then spent seven minutes working on in-game scenarios, handed the younger group a three goal lead and challenged the experienced players to produce a come from behind win.
Nic Naitanui and Josh Kennedy were among the big names to sit out match simulation despite completing the rest of the session.
Jack Redden was withdrawn from all contested work to focus on running as he builds his fitness following shoulder surgery.
Top draft pick Campbell Chesser watched from the sidelines as he is gradually introduced to training following two weeks of quarantine over Christmas.
The Eagles spent plenty of time at the start of the session walking through their positioning for specific match situations.
New West Coast head of strategy and stoppage Jarrad Schofield talked the squad through his expectations as the clubs learns a new game plan, with players spread throughout the field.
The group then split into groups on both ovals to work through a series of drills.
Oh Yeo: Why Eagles’ star mid is sitting out training
West Coast have ramped up pre-season training with strong match simulation but the absence of Elliot Yeo all week has been a talking point.

I'm hoping Josh Kennedy can put on some size, don't think he'll do too well against fullbacks currently:

West will be better but we also have a few more such as Edwards (2) who are positives. Good feeling about 2022.The West

If you guys paid any attention at all, you'd know that West's arms are being replaced by Langdon's legs later this off-season through an adventurous path of experimental surgery.

Classic Weak Coast S&C mindset. Dilute the strength that gets a bloke drafted to slightly improve a facet of their game that they don't have the skills or aptitude for.
Likely to end up with zilch.
Because someone keeps drinking from my glass! Joke's on them though, this one's got cyanide in it.
That's Rotham. Darling was wearing yellowDarling looking the fittest I've ever seen him. Looks like his lost some muscle. Think that's a great move as he was getting to big and lost a yard of pace last few season. If we can get him to lead out more freely and do those chase tackles he did in his first few seasons he was one of the quickest forwards going around. It will make a huge difference to us this season.

That is the first definitive confirmation we have a new game plan. I'm feeling optimistic!The West

The news we have all been wanting to hear for three years.
Pressing higher, maximising scores from turnovers. It's about time we rediscover how to put that once-in-a-generation forward line to use.

Thought West needed to put on size if anything.
That's literally what he's done

Sounds like he's trimmed down to play more outside.
You haven't seen him recently I'm assuming. He's looking stronger and thicker than last year.

But I was reliably informed many times on here during last season that the game plan wasn't the issue
I think it's safe to say we had more than one issue.
