List Mgmt. Welcome Brendon Ah Chee

[jesterwester]

Said it quite a few time during trade period...hes only ever had Hinkley as an AFL coach. For whatever reason, Hinkley never gave him a chance in his natural position at AFL level. Pretty much everyone can identify with a boss/supervisor that you just don't click with.

Reckon he'll be a great pick-up, perfect fit.

Ken Hinkley has his favourites. If you aren't on that list of favourites, it is very very difficult to get a clear run at it at Port. Ive heard that mentioned several times.

I think he's just needed a clear run in the midfield which he just hasn't got at Port but will with us. Pleasing to hear how hard he is working.

Anyone got any pics of him from our training?

 

[ZergMinion]

I will go as far as saying that Brendon's recruitment will be seen in future years as where it all turned around.

Edit: Finally got some images to work with from the WCE website

Definitely need some training pics as all I have of him in an Eagles jumper so far is this mugshot

Here's a pic of him drinking some of the Kool Aid in this thread

Speaks really well. Pumped to have him!

 

[RookiePick]

great interview. Got onto some unsteady territory around the 3 minute mark with the Port Ebert, Wines, Powell-Pepper compared to Shuey...Hutchings....uum Dan Venables but recovered well.

So stoked to hear a player in our colours flat out claiming contested footy was their buzz.

 

[Boohemian]

He spoke really well. Impressed by this bloke so far. Looking forward to next year with Boots leading the midfield, and Ah Chee and Venerables developing.

Tin foil hat in me does wonder if he's just talking that aspect up because he knows that's what the recruiters want him for.

Proof of the bull will be in the Yorkshire pudding I guess - excited to find out about all of the unknowns of this off season

 

[mick06]

thought it was weird to get 6 minutes into an interview and not hear mention of naitanui and then theeeeeree it was

 

[omgfridge]

Man I'm excited to see what he brings.

 

[archiemoses]

Thought they would have asked him about his one year contract

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gee, he is very well spoken. Impressive!

 

[Hai_Newman]

Hurn looks impressed...

He's giving Sneeze the double thumbs up to start in my Supercoach team.

If ever there was a justification of a trade surely this is it. Recruit an inside mid who can't go on to name more than 1-2 established midfielders in his new team. To be a fly on the wall of opposition clubs as they discuss strategy against the mighty West Coast midfield

You kidding? Opposition coaches are going to have no clue how to effectively plan for our midfield early in the season aside from hoping their midfield beats ours.

Previous seasons they could just focus on reducing Priddis' impact on clearances and setting up to intecept hack kicks from said clearances. They're going to have to do some real homework in 2018 for the first time in years.

I think we're a realistic chance to get off to a flyer next year as teams struggle to come up with new strategies for playing against us.

I meant from the perspective of Arch coming from another club and having no knowledge of our mids. Makes me wonder if other clubs just laugh at us and say go win the footy and do whatever you like, boys. Agreed this coming season is the unknown and unpredictability and the requirement to adapt are things that work in our favour, much like our 2015 back line.

Took several goes trying to screen grab it from the video too as he only pops it up for half a second while trying to remember how many younger brothers he has.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Need him to really step up considering how thin our midfield options are.
