Our WAFL side is a complete disaster so I think it is almost impossible to decide whether young guys like him are a bust or not anymore. Don't think it is too outlandish to say that it is a career killer to get drafted to us as a low draft pick who has to ply their trade in the WAFL

Oh we've signed up to keep the status quo for another two years you say? Great.

Where's the bloke who was posting the 4 more years meme incessantly for a while? Feels on point.

Good thought - also provides a glimmer of hope to Beagles who may be on the cusp.

Not a Beagles watcher - but IIRC there were early season comments about various players putting in good shifts and showing a bit but often not being selected (other than being a sub) and/or quickly being sent back to twos.

Hope and justifiable rewards are great tools.

Don’t see the same hope and reward at selection table at the moment.

Yes drop 4 of the older or suspect players back to WAFL, reward form and inflate the fortunes of the Beagles. Make at least the WAFL a development pathway at this point in time.

If we did drop some of our more experienced players such as Darling, Jones, Witherden etc. back to the WAFL, that should make WAFL team more competitive.

Those players would be trying hard to get their spots back in the AFL side and you'd think that having them around should lead to better development for the younger players in the WAFL team.
 
Actually feel like our WAFL team is a bigger and more urgent problem than our senior team at the moment. When you have no semblance of competitiveness at reserves level you can't develop young players. And you can't put any meaningful pressure on those in the seniors.
Not sure if correct but the commentators mentioned that Mercer with 30 odd games had played the most at the beagles in that team.

Not ideal
 
hmm

have we tried adding more height?

Q: What are the so called development coaches developing.
A: More WAFL players like they were once themselves.

Why would you send Ginbey back to play in that competition.

The club would be better off disbanding the WAFL team and
placing the young players amongst several of the clubs.
The dockers alignment with Peel seems to be working well
for both teams. Why do we need to have our own reserves side.
