The only thing worth watching this year will be if all these kids can play continuous games together, they'll feed off each other

Funny how the narrative is turning to WA is hyping the kid too much. Yet the hype from the VIC before draft was at insane levels also .......
Being in Victoria I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Harley was the most talked about/hyped up junior ever. Not even close

Screaming GO PACK GO from Lambeau🧀
Both are true, but VIC media would deny this, lmao
Someone post some highlights FFS.
Either Tunbridges tackle or Harleys game from the weekend.

One day there will be a game where Harley, Hewett, Long, Ginbey and a few others will tear it up and we can smile

That's the sort of stuff Im looking forward to.
The preason games brought me back down to earth and I'm expecting a season with only a handful of wins. The joy will be watching the young guys and seeing them jag the fluke win from nowhere. This should be the season where we start to turn the corner away from the vets and toward the young players

Yep, my main interest in this season is watching how Harley and the kids go.
Hewett being the main one.
Him and Harley are the 2 most exciting on our list IMO.

Probably not writing him off, i think he is just saying that Hewett is very exciting to watch.Can't believe you're writing off Ginbey already.

I hope (skinny) Yeo can stay on the park because I reckon Reid will feed off that animal's aggression.
Haul in Hewett's BSD and watching the Eagles' midfield might even be uhh fun?

I tend to agree, think most can see Hew's X-factor.
Hopefully, he's got the BST sorted now. Ballerina Swinging Toe. Which he had pre-draft, apparently.
Kudos to the club for rehab, looking outside for best practice on managing that.
BSD Hewitt incoming would be great as a fan/spectator.
A way to go, but will enjoy watching the ride as we get back up into contention.
I wonder how much it affected his kicking also?
Pre-draft he was touted to be a good kick but a number of times last season he couldn't hit even simple kicks under no pressure.
Could've very much been him subconsciously avoiding kicking the ball with certain parts of his foot to avoid pain.
Would explain a lot.
I'd argue "WA" isn't - the West is - that newspaper needs to get over itself and leave the kid alone.
His willingness to hold the ball a little longer and run at the defence opens up space and provides good overlap handball options, or they sag off him allowing him to run and make an attacking kick (hopefully) into the corridor. Definitely has a lot of poise for a player who hasn't played a senior game yet.

I hope fans at the games cheer and encourage the kid when he takes the game on but stuffs something up and turns it over. It will happen at times but the last thing we want early days is for him to lose any of his swagger.
Taking it on and providing a spark is exactly what the side needs. Get behind the kid wholly and fully from the start. Let’s encourage the effort as much as possible even the times it doesn’t come off.
Same applies to Ginbey, Long, Chess, Hewett when he returns. In a rebuild let’s get loud on effort when the young guys really have a crack at getting us going

Yeah nah mate, we'll be booing him all the way back to Vic like we did Ash Smith.
