I think you could be reading too much into it. Might be Daniher or someone else, apparently Worsfold is still around.

Probably, but I really like X-Files.
I can't say any more. You came out of the blue to be a moderator, but welcome anyway.

I like that fact the Selwood has stuck around. He has a fair bit to add to the development of the younger players IMO
My thoughts exactly
OR sumich has put these ideas forward at his interview

Just re-reading the article, they have elevated the three guys that have shown some good form in the WAFL.
This is really setting the team up for "no favourites" sort of season. By that I mean, have a poor game or not put the work in, regardless of name, you will be playing in the WAFL.
I personally like this and think competition to retain your spot is some of the best motivation

Must say i am happy with the Selwood appointment as he has a lot to offer still and could work well with the younger players.
Pretty happy with tunners and the gov being upgraded. Bennell did play some good footy at the back end of the season.. but personally would have kept him on the rookie list one more year.
Gov: Had to upgrade or let go and has too many good traits to let some other team get the rewards
Tunner: Showed a bit when he got a game, will be good to see how he goes when playing with a better WAFL side (if not in the Eagles team). Has Speed, size, and skill, pretty much what we all want in the side.
Bennell: Was close to playing a senior game near the end of the year, or at least seemed that way. Has foot skills and is a proper small defender.
They are all pretty justifiable upgrades, pretty happy with it tbh. Would like some more "fat" cut from the list though so we can have at least 2-3 picks in the draft. Hope Newman retains a position on one of the lists, though it's difficult to say he deserves a senior spot, even as his sponsor.

Bennell must have shown something.
Also, pleased about Asel too. Whilst his body may have declined quickly, at his peak was a good smart defender.

I think this means there may be more delistments.If tunners can play a forward defensive role(I didn't see his game in the last few rounds)then Mcginnity could be moved on or delisted.Not sure about his contract status tho.
would rather keep dalziell around than mcginnity

am i the only one that doesnt rate turnbridge at all? 1 fluke goal and struggles to get more then ten posessions
Selwood to coach, love it
Yep, you are.
I am not yet convinced either.
HIs wafl side isn't exactly amazing. Would make it hard for him when playing forward.

You'd rather pick 74 and 92 in the national draft?

These decisions have to be made now. We aren't absent of leadership at the moment.
Was angry at this. Then i noticed your location.
admitedly ive only seen his wafl highlights but those dont impress me and neither do the games he got for WC. Doesnt get enough of the ball and his disposal is average at best. not sure what people are getting excited about?

I think the Bennell elevation is warranted.
He's started to play the sweeping role with aplomb and has more than a touch of Wirra in style.
When Hurn is out, we desperately lack a defender who not only can read the play quicker than most but also hit the target and make the right decisions.
There is more than one way to break a line, leg speed isn't the be all and end all.
In todays football, it's such a vital role and I'd dare say someone like Hurn would flourish a lot more with Bennell in the side.

Yes. If we can leave Bennell and Tunners on the rookie list for another year why not draft deep?

Not convinced Tunbridge deserved to be elevated yet to be honest.
Good news.
All good prospects.
