So lots of club apologists on here say how all we have to do is build the floor,recruit a few free agents and then we a back in the game. Jack Carroll gave us the finger and went to St Kilda. Think about that. Y

Literally noone is saying "all we have to do is build the floor"

Conflicted between hardwood and tile when building the floor. Don't have a whole lot of time for carpet either.

Eagles WAFL captain to leave club, ex-AFL players to follow

West Coast WAFL captain Jackson Nelson is set to depart the club, while vice-captain Trey Ruscoe and Jason Gillbee, who is the best friend of Harley Reid, are also on the way out.

thewest.com.au

I totally agree that the WAFL Eagles are a shambles, and I know this probably belongs in the media thread, but ...

For the West to say "the struggling West Coast WAFL team, who have claimed the wooden spoon every year since joining the league four years ago" is either disingenuous or inept, when the Eagles WAFL side joined the competition six years ago, finished fourth and won a final in their first season, before missing the shortened 2020 season due to pandemic matters - and have then had the run of four wooden spoons.

That doesn't change the fact that the WAFL Eagles set up, as it is currently working, seems to harm rather than help our player development and AFL side.

And do we now understand?

He belongs at Graylands.

Weren't you deleting your account?

 

[Hoskin300]

There really wouldn't.

He's surprisingly a delisted free agent that's had 4 years of development and loads of potential upside to come, and it would've been absolutely free without costing us anything.

Not sure anyone would've complained about his acquisition, even if he turned out to be a average and punted in 2 years time.

Those sorts of list additions are exactly the ones the club needs to be making, particularly when you've got a draft hand as shit as ours.

WOuld have been far better than the three acquisitions we have actually made

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Kinda surprised the milk man got the ass considering his ties to Harley, but oh well, club's under new management now and we're gonna finish last anyway

Time for Number 9 to put his big boy pants on and start interacting with the city of Perth now.

However a few of you are suggesting that's what the club should do. Obviously we need too do more. However building the floor or the middle before the top end is where clubs like St kilda end up.

Well no youve just misunderstood

I have suggested I can see what the club is trying to do and I kind of get the logic in an even draft to trade down and how it might not be the disaster it's being portrayed as on here.

If it was up to me with my very limited knowledge on this year's draft I would not have made the trades the club did. But there was some logic behind it and just maybe the people being paid to do this might know more than the nuffies on here. There's just more to it than simple draft pick numbers

We'll find out in a few years

 

[Wce17]

Not sure what the fuss about missing out on carroll is. If he is that good why was he delisted?

 

[Obeanie1]

You are ignoring the fact that we have barely any guns, as you point out you don't get many chances to land quality low picks and we just pissed ours up against the wall.

Yep. Been a fair bit of that around here for sure.

Rome was not built in a day.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Won't matter who we draft if the development and pathways in the AFL reserves aren't there.

It's been a joke since the Beagles entered, and it doesn't appear to be getting any better.

For the development of our young draftees, I hope we fold that shit and start spreading the talent around the actual competitive WAFL clubs.

 

[ghostbat12]

I am baffled as to what our strategy is for the draft.
We have six main list spots available and we haven't bagged a DFA.
So are we going to use six picks in the draft and how do we get better picks in this draft.
We use some picks in the rookie draft.
Do we have train on players to fill out the list.
I don't mind missing out on Carroll but could we have picked up Parfitt or someone else.

Who knows? Clarke knows.

We will find pick 3-type players with pick 96. Just ask him.

As long as his promise to Richmond is kept, that’s all that matters. Does he know he has become a laughing stock?

We are all now counting the days till he is sent packing. Pyke can go too, he hasn’t exactly shown over journey as a person who makes good decisions.

Thank f worsfold is there for common sense.

 

[ghostbat12]

Yep. Been a fair bit of that around here for sure.

Rome was not built in a day.

We certainly plan to take just as long as building Rome.
