Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

[Geoffa32]

Harley Reid killing it for West Coast. Amazing what happens when you play your young talent.

If we drafted him, he would have been playing FB at Glenelg Oval today.

North play Hawks tomorrow. Next week both West Coast and North may be above us.

Might be good to get first bite of the mid season draft.

 

[BACCS]

Since when did Waterman turn into peak Carey/Ablett?

And draft and play mids in the midfield

 

[BACCS]

Yeo getting over his groin issues and having some kicking penetration back has been massive for this Eagles resurgence. Kelly is still playing as well as he has the last couple of seasons, Reid is a gun, so it’s not surprising to see their midfield do well again. Then have the likes of Ginbey and Hunt rolling through.

Imagine when they get Oscar Allen

back?!

 

[Brasher]

We could end up with Draper and Welsh now who will play back pocket and full back respectively in the 2s until 2027

What a sight to see that would be.

Meh.

I was hopeful with Parnell that we got one that slipped through after covid. He looks bound for delisting.

The mid season draft is for players who all could have been drafted last year and were not.

It’s up there with when Fogarty was sent back in the SANFL to ‘learn a lesson’

 

[Cap]

This is a key issue - we have been outcoached in all but 1 game this year.

They have a very limited ability to mix things up on game day when needed.

There is a lack of smarts in our coaching box which is why we have no future without change.

Kick straight and we were out coached in all of them

West Coast is a professional football club.
They realised they were bottoming out so took full advantage to get access to a generational midfield talent.
As they have done consistently for 25 years.

1. Judd
2. NicNat, Gaff, Kennedy
3. Reid

 

[Brasher]

Now that Derbies and Showdowns are well into their 50s is it worth numbering them anymore?

 

[BACCS]

Can’t see how Gaff gets another game at the Eagles, should be moving him on well before Yeo

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Game plan was actually decent against the Blues as finally played younger guys through the middle which surprised Voss.

But this was the exception.

 

[WetCrow1991]

West Coast have gone passed us. Sick.

What a novel approach to a list rebuild

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not hard at the moment.

One of Hawks & Roos needs to win tomorrow... then we play the Roos next week.

We are looking good for a very early pick.

They also tanked for Shuey in 2011, premiership captain and Norm Smith.

 

[Shuestar13]

Let’s not get too overexcited. Your list is comfortably better than ours. We have holes everywhere and a long (long) way to go.

A change in coach will be transformative for your group

 

[jackster83]

Hopefully the catalyst for a sacking

Should be a plural in there.

I didn’t look it up, but yeah that’s my point. They have actively tanked 3 times now to get the talent they needed to make sure they were good enough to challenge again.

We'll draft some bloke named Gumdrop Dishsoap who is 157cm tall and plays FB as a junior.

"Earn" pick one, after compromised picks we end up picking 7, one pick later than Draper goes and then just pick Welsh.

It's the Adelaide way.

At least an enjoyable weekend for you.
