Game Day Round 1, 2023: West Coast Eagles vs North Melbourne - “A Walk in the Park”

[THE A5]

Culley not on tbe plan accordingly to Mitch Woodcock. Also no snake.

Mark down todays date, simmo is dead to me

 

[Keys]

No Culley or Waterman

O’Neill, Witherden and West travelling

I reckon Culley is being disciplined.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Wonder what Culley did between starring all preseason and being dropped from the practice matches?

Mrs Simpson?

He played in the first practice match.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

It’s going to be one of those mysteries that remains unsolved, like the decision to play Mitch Brown in a forward pocket in an elimination final, or Ryan Burrows’ whereabouts.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I'm sure we'll get some clear and honest communication from the club regarding the Culley situation soon.

Stopped reading right there.

Any danger of a journo.. you know.. asking the coach? Not like we haven't picked up on it here.

 

[Mulldogg]

Really disappointing news about Culley not travelling.

Wonder if there is more to it?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I’ll just ask on Twitter, that’s usually effective

 

[Barrybran]

Hmm. It would be nice if the club acknowledged there was an issue rather than simply pretend like noone notices. Even a 'he's not travelling with the team and we won't be commenting on it' has to be better than nothing.

On a positive note it is good to see Darling on the plane. Hopefully he has a big game and realises that a preseason is better than no preseason.

The reality is that unless someone specifically asks, they won’t feel any need to comment on any of the individual players that aren’t flying to Melbourne.

I find it hard to believe that noone asked why he played with the 2's against Adelaide

I haven’t seen anything publicly, from a journo at least.

Keys has just asked on Twitter and he hasn’t been put on Ignore by the club like I probably have, so we’ll see if they respond. I wouldn’t hold my breath though.

This does seem a plausible explanation. Played in the 2s, has been training, not being spoken about.
He seems to have some “character” issues - see passing elbow hit and shove of Kelly. Maybe a bit trivial but perhaps a little smoke ….

Rooted a team members missus and to top it off gave her the dirty Sanchez.

He is a Victorian and maybe flew early to be with Family? You never know if there is a health problem in the family and not our business?
Just spitballing here with Hypo's.

Almost like the jetta situation. One minute he's in and the next minute it's like he was never born.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Very odd situation with Culley. Hopefully someone asks, would seem impossible not to.

Go well boys. Fine enough group in the scheme of our list, not a million miles away from what we’d all largely pick. Keen to see how the kids go. Footy’s back.

Best asking Footy Rhino then the club.
