Jeez I am looking forward to a few weeks of match fitness for Rodriguez and seeing what he can do for the back half of the year, his WAFL minutes over the weekend while small just shows there is some great talent inside this player.
Hopefully a bargain rookie buy that develops into a 200 game...
absolute gun, it's hard to fathom just how good he has been, 1st year player and definately Robin to HR as Batman, may they lead the midfield for the next decade and fight it out for a Norm Smith together
That's a shame.
Just on Mondays PSD it seems things are very quiet about who is hot to pick.
Hopefully we get a couple of quality candidates, have we got 2 or 3 spots open?
While I like your thoughts and comparisons to Drever and Callaghan are not really where he sits IMO.
Go and have a look at the Rookie Me Central scouting notes just uploaded Gippsland v GWV Rebels.
All of these players move around a bit all year so half a season and championships games will...
This, our list is still so shit that there is no depth to it.
Injuries to the wrong players and we are further back in the pack than actually trying to compete.
Totally agree on the senior core, apart from Yeo who actually gives a shit when out there the others are on the downhill slide fast...
Agree on Cripps, wasnt a great game to get back into the senior side.
Cripps is fast coming to the end and thats ok, time is catching him faster than he thought.
The only reason he hasn't been out of the AFL side is our SF goal kickers have been very avearge before we drafted Murdoch and he has...
very early but Williams on ball is probably just short of what we need, really tough inside player.
We basically have a group of mids that project top 5 open pool in:
N Williams: mid/hb/hf, tough, smallest of the group
A Butler: x factor mid/hf with a well built body, butters type, elite kick...
We should have pick 2 if Richmond opens a spot in the MSD.
Richmond currently don't have a spot open, but are likely to open a spot along with GEE and SYD who could open spots if the players they want are available.
PA
STK
ADE
GWS
HAW
all have list spots available, PA has 2 spots as does WC.
All of those names make us much better.
2 problems we have is we have tipped over the too young profile and no one is putting up a comprehensive showing in the WAFL to warrant inclusion.
The coaches know it but its the catch 22, keep playing and developing our best young players and keep...
Agree with your draft comment.
There are lots of holes and through the draft we can solve another midfielder, 2 KPD's and our small forwards will come from our NGA's this draft and next.
The SF we have on the list in Murdoch, Newton are good, T Williams will be fine and we expect 1 or 2 SF...
Long Post
We are going to have to throw some money around this year if we want to improve in 2027.
Our mature players in Kelly is back to normal Kelly, good patch to start the year but we have seen this movie before.
Duggan is wow, but we are not sacking him with a contract to end 2028.
Yeo &...
