Sadly for Xavier O’Neill, Greg Clark, Sam Petrevski-Seton, Connor West and Isiah Winder they join Luke Foley in not being offered a new contract for 2024

Wishing them all the best in their future endeavours


Something Something the pick split 😞 shame you never know which small forwards will pack it in or get injured or stop training.
 


Contract extensions for -

• Noah Long - 2 years to 2026
Jake Waterman - 2 years to 2025
Alex Witherden - 1 year to 2024
• Jai Culley - 1 year to 2024

Leaves Zane Trew as the only uncontracted player yet to learn his fate although the status of Cat B rookies, Baker and Dewar, is unclear

Some changes to the coaching staff and a reallocation of roles

• Pratt departs as backline coach
• Webster (forwards) replaces Pratt as backline coach
• Knight (midfield) replaces Webster as forwards coach
• Schofield takes over full control as midfield coach
• Shuey added as stoppage coach
• Horsley (Development) replaces Wiley as WAFL coach
• Nicoski is also no longer a development coach after taking an admin role for the club in the southwest
 
Within this article was confirmation that Trew, Baker and Dewar have all received one year extensions for next year



Meanwhile, the Eagles have confirmed midfielder Zane Trew, Tyrell Dewar and Jordyn Baker have signed one-year contract extensions for 2024.

Trew will remain on the rookie list for a fourth season, while Baker has been upgraded to the rookie list from the category B rookie list to create room for Naitanui Academy product Coen Livingstone.

Dewar will remain on the category B rookie list for next year.
 


Two year extension for Liam Ryan through to the end of 2026. He’ll be 30 when this extension expires and a free agent
 
Good news. Other than 1st year rookies that leaves Barnett, Burgiel, JWilliams, Culley and Yeo that I’d like to see given extensions. Hate to say it but wouldn’t mind seeing Duggo getting offered band 3 FA compo (directly after our 2R), can’t see him being offered more than this after the convenient salary cap realignment.

YOUNG West Coast ruckman Harry Barnett has secured a two-year contract extension.

The 20-year-old is now locked in at the Eagles until the end of 2026.

Barnett has played two games for Adam Simpson’s side since arriving via pick No.23 in the 2022 AFL Draft.

The West Adelaide product was the first ruckman selected that year and is viewed as a long-term option at the Eagles.

Barnett has played five games in the WAFL this year around an appearance for West Coast as Bailey Williams' back-up against Greater Western Sydney in round two. – Josh Gabelich

Adam Simpson moved on as senior coach despite being contracted to the end of 2025



Jarrad Schofield appointed as interim senior coach for the remainder of 2024

 


Liam Duggan extends his contract by 4 years through to the end of 2028
 
I read that Waterman is being chased by Melbourne and Geelong and is showing interest, even though he’s just re-signed. While I don’t particularly like Kane Cornes, he has made some spot on points worth reading. Waterman has finally had an outstanding season and suddenly wants to re-negotiate. If you can find Cornes’ article, it’s a good read.
Jake wants to be a bit careful here, Eagles are looking for first round picks.
