he looks poised to step up again

He’s under notice

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Waterman was more dominant when he was playing closer to goals and not competing with Allen earlier in the season.

Allen takes the reins from McGovern at CHB, snake moves to FF and Archer CHF. Williams second ruck rotating through forward pocket or bench.

Just don’t ask me to fit shanahan in too!

Mate, we all know he's a third tall...

Allen needs to find a different approach to marking the ball or rather landing if not he will just get injured again.

Agreed so many kicks missing targets or landing on top of players heads. Marics foot skills stood out. Bo Allan looks round 1 ready, great size and moves well.

Where’s Allan playing? Back or mid?
I’m not in perth so thanks for sharing from training

I think that approach could work….im coming around to moving Oscar down back, as it could protect his body to a certain extent, like comben from nm, and the reasons above.

My take aways from training today-
Fairly light session, skills weren't great due to some wind and general low intensity from the group.

Flynn injury had him pointing to his heel/ Achilles with trainer's fwiw.
Nice to see drills with overlap runners from behind, charging upfield in numbers.
Hutchy running well, super athlete and in most drills now after modified loads pre Xmas.

Kept a good eye on Brock and who I assume is Van Es in #41. Both training with the backs.
Brock still to fill out but a huge frame and neat left foot.
Van Es I must say was totally underwhelming. From early warm up, stationary kicking with BoA, he'd make Bo run 5-10m nearly every kick over a 30m pass. Not to get overly critical.... but...he went on to drop a few marks and kicking did not improve. Even lazily kicking ball back to a coach setting up kicks for 3rd up marking drills, missed kick by a mile, making coach run back 20m to pick ball up and slow down drill. No intensity, little chat- I was actually amazed that this is a guy given a chance to fight for a list spot.
Brock might not be the guy but Van Es not in the ballpark from my small training sample size..

Whopper still with arm guard but in all drills, mainly unimpeded.
Good intensity from the usual suspects- Ginbey, Baker, the Spartan, Fridge, Clay, JHunt. Harley ran well.

BoA not out of place. Definitely kicks better long, can miss short spot up kicks.

Barnett, Maric, Baker training w backs as mentioned.

More bad news for Flynn I see. Hope his ankle injury is not too serious.

apologies, I cant open this.

TRAINING NOTES: Eagles ruck limps from track

West Coast ruckman Matt Flynn limped from the track on Wednesday with an ankle concern just days after the Eagles resumed pre-season training. Here’s what we saw at Eagles HQ.

That’s just the west being the west. There’s tweets from rhino and Ashleigh Nelson both saying he’s ok.

Yep, even before the break when he was with the rehab crew it struck me how fit he looked and seemed.

 

[RanaNaved]

Seriously undervaluing J.Williams here

Williams development last season was a highlight of last year and he looks poised to step up again

Nah, I just rate Archers' ability and upside very, very highly

 

[wce4premiership]

From the WAFL games I saw last year Archer is a clear step above.

From the AFL games I saw last year Jack Williams belongs. Smooth mover for a big bloke, seemed to move well across the ground, found the goals, was very impressive.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Our Ruck division is still a massive concern. Lots of blokes on modified duties in pre-season. A bit concerning with less than two months to Round 1.

 

[THE A5]

I rate Archer highly but I think it’ll be hard to displace Jilliams unless he really starts being a non event.

 

[WCE777]

I rate Archer highly but I think it’ll be hard to displace Jilliams unless he really starts being a non event.

JW has the runs on the board and provides a very good ruck/fwd option and probably plays 2nd ruck and forward.
Archer is very talented but like Shanahan to get a gig will have to displace someone else and most likely fill a void in KDEF to get a spot to start.
Still another good problem to have with our young KP players.
