List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Who knows what the injury list looks like by July. Personally I think we'd consider him if two of the KPFs or rucks were injured and he'd had a month in the WAFL. Don't think he's really an option anymore replacing a small forward with so many KPFs in the side. -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Still enough time to impact if he's good enough and the team is good enough to be playing well into September. Plenty of players have returned from LTIs later than July and had a massive impact in finals. Not saying Sturt is the calibre of some of those player but if the role is available at... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
No talk about using the SSP to replace him either (except on here). Will be interesting to see what it says on the injury list when it comes out. When does that usually happen? The week before round one or earlier in pre season? -
Training 2026 Preseason
The same coach made the decision to play three tall forwards and two rucks in the same team last year when most on here would've called that stupidity. He clearly rated Cox enough to bring him over as a 35 year old when there was younger delisted rucks available. The three talls and two rucks... -
Training 2026 Preseason
Just hope they don't try an extra tall tbh. Feel it could be the difference between winning and losing games if it doesn't work and that's the most likely outcome (or at least we play worse than expected). Dropping points we shouldn't early is risky to the overall season. -
Training 2026 Preseason
No interchange in those match sims either so it's start elsewhere or not play at all (which would make no sense) -
Training 2026 Preseason
If you want more goals from him play him closer to goals. The bloke can't kick much more than 40m and that's not going to change. Hard to kick many goals when you're in range a couple of times a game. No team has seven forwards kicking over a goal a game. I'm fine with Switta doing what he... -
Analysis The Cricket Thread 2025/26
Think the Stars and Thunder look more different that the Heat and Strikers tbh. Also the Heat are an aqua-blue sort of thing. If anything them and the stars are the worst ones colour clash wise. Don't understand why there's no yellow team and think styles of uniforms are too similar across the... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Realistically all but about 4-5 of the out of contract players are the types we need to see at least half a season from before any decision is made. I'll be happy if Switta, Wagner Johnson are signed up by the mid season bye. Think on potential re-signing Nicholls is pretty much a certainty as... -
Resource Non-AFL General Chat
They're sitting second with the best net run rate in the competition (by a fair amount btw). Am I missing something or does that most likely mean win the remaining games and we finish top two? No team is that consistent so can see us finishing top two even if we drop another game - Must win... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Davies is barely smaller than Murphy. I've seen them them standing next to each other and I doubt there is 4cm difference. Reckon they're both close to 2m tbh. Also both a definitely got some height on Draper who's listed at 197cm. -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Rucks aside clubs don't often keep 30 year old depth players. If list management are comfortable in the ability of the younger KPPs to step up to AFL level when required I don’t think the club prioritizes McDonald over youngsters that could take over from Pearce and stay in the team for ten... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
Someone saying Murphy looks good at training doesn't even come close to putting him ahead of Davies who was miles better at WAFL level last year. Murphy is starting a long way behind and until actual matches are played I'm not convinced. McDonald is different because it's age and experience vs... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
I'm quite convinced there's more at play than just that tbh. It'll depend on list spots, depth charts etc. I'll use Oscar McDonald as an example. If Draper had shown his 2024 form in 2025 and Nicholls had played games and looked good there is probably enough depth there that it is all over for... -
List Mgmt. 2026 List Management
They'll give the talls plenty of time if they show much at all IMO. There isn't any hurry to get rid of players. If anything I think it'll be like this year where there's 5-6 list changes at most. Tbh that's probably only 3-4 actual delistings. The first rounders, trades and the odd mature...
