And I quote "abolish the draft, abolish the salary cap, gives us back Chris Judd and we wouldn't be in this position"... it's so stupid he must be on the ice too.

I really really really hope kennedy walks, Kerr is traded for a 3rd round pick and Masten wins most meters lost in 09... karma is a b*tch but you still owe some Woosh, Gooding too. To let that kid Cuz continue to play after Judge had alerted the board way before it got bad is a joke.

Of course you'd like to buy Juddy back with all your clubs millions... duh. It's like a bad loser trying to change the rules?!?!? I have no idea how he was re-signed.

Winning a premiership on raw talent doesn't mean you are a good coach mate. Even my wife looked up at the news gobsmacked :confused:

Apart from a strong midfield, no one rated our list in 2005/2006. We heard countless times remarks such as "You won't win a cup with that forward line".

Fact is, Worsfold still managed to build our list to a point where it was a flag contender. He made do with what he had. Sure, his tactical side of coaching isn't always the best, but lets not forget his dismantling of a rampaging Adelaide side labelled the "Crowbots" midway through 2006.

Even so, if we had Judd back and no salary cup, we probably wouldn't be in this situation. Hell, even Fremantle would be throwing money at players over East to join their group.

Haha

Unlike you I did not associate that term with violence, well played :D

Just to ignite things a bit more wasn't Judd a Priority Pick? So if you abolished the draft you'd never have got him... why does Woosh want to change the rules now? Didn't he learn life lessons playing backyard cricket?

That said bringing someone's wife into it is poor form :(

We would have got Judd, we wouldn't have got Sampi. Please don't take away Sampi. :(
 
So let me get this right, Woosh's comments are valid and well thought through? And that somehow with no draft, a man who stated "I do not want to go to Perth" somehow would have ended up in Perth...

Sorry side bet you are right, wives are off limits but you sort of walked into that one... there are two ways to look at too btw. violence and love if you catch my drift :eek:

I think many were bitter about juddy leaving but now not so much. Kennedy and Masten have been pretty good. I'm sure woosh was talking a bit tongue in cheek?

Draft system sucks balls... I'm sort of dreading what to expect from this derby. If we were both sitting around 9th and 10th we'd be froffing at the mouth in anticipation.
 
What was the name of the song Leo Sayer used to sing,oh yeah.
"I'm a one man band".
Rings a bell with a team on the West coast.
And what was it Judd said to the Eagles player who had a go at him about his shoulders,oh yeah.They are bad because of having to carry you lot for so long.Or words to that affect.

Oh and I hope that Harves has told Zac Cl;arke not to touch NIc Nat in a ruck duel on Saturday.
What ever happened to that tough guy John Worsfold that used to be the strong man of the West Coast?

Pretty sure you've taken it abit out of context.

From what I saw Woosh was asked how a side could fall from premier to struggler in 2yrs. Woosh said give us Judd back and we wouldnt be in this position.

He was talking tongue in cheek more than anything. But he also makes a valid point, you cant plan for the best player in the game walking out on you. There is nothing you can do help the situation and it takes alot of wind out of a club to lose such an influential player.

Maybe he was making excuses but it is an honest explanation and as I said very tongue in cheek.
 
If that is true he is tongue in cheek every week


He has a very dry sense of humour but is actually a very funny guy. I know you wouldnt realise it watching him on the box but he puts up a big facade in front of the journos because he thinks most of them are idiots. Which I personally agree with from my brief discussions at training sessions over the years.

If it walks, talks and looks like a duck it's err a.... '! I know.... John Worsfold' Who isn't a duck.
FFS spare us.
