    Mega Thread WCE: When is the first win? How do we fix this mess? Can we see any improvement at all?

    The AFL wants the Dockers and Eagles to continue to fail for a very specific reason. They want control over all club licences and control over the state and junior leagues as well. I think you'd be surprised just how much the AFL would be willing to compromise to help the WA clubs if the WAFC...

    Macrae looks good until he plays against good mids. Go back and watch him get monstered at the clearance vs the dogs.

    Oh and it's 400k + match payments a year for 3 years. After paying way too much for Haynes Carlton could only afford to offer Owies 250k for 1 year and Matt Kennedy a little bit more. Carlton's cap space is ****ed. They will seriously struggle to hold onto TDK.

    Just remember I was told the players to chase and how hard to and If I could get commitment then Clarke produced a contract offer. Over the course of the season I got 8 commitments. That turned out being just 1 player landed. Graham and Baker I didn't have a role in. I must admit though ****...

    Mega Thread WCE: When is the first win? How do we fix this mess? Can we see any improvement at all?

    There is no sporting comparison to what the WCE and dockers do in the AFL, particularly with a limited budget. If you look at our 3 premiership eras all had one similarity to the next. They were a young team with a concentration of talent that developed early and with 1 player from the previous...

    Archer Reid is a FB or a Ruckman. He will highly likely be very, very good at once of those roles. At the moment at AFL level he can't really play either (can't play FB as his body stands atm and can only really play secondary ruck around the ground against secondary rucks) He's not a forward...

    Opinion Should the team ask for a Priority Pick 2025 edition.

    Also for the future, to protect tv and streaming rights deals, once Tasmania is in the competition if a Victorian team is a constant drag, the league can afford to merge 2 teams and it would also likely be beneficial not only to the clubs but also to the league from a financial perspective...

    Couple of extra list spots with the ability to pre list NGA's. It's about the best the club can hope for.

    Too far our way TBH. Their 2 firsts + Z Reid for Harley would probably do it.

    The way they strap these days a dislocation also likely includes a syndesmosis so either way it's not great. But still better than a major break.

    Not if it's band 2.

    Jack Williams is the future second ruck / tall forward. Archer Reid is a future key back. Shanahan is a very likely lead up FF. Josh Kennedy couldn't really train in season post 2014. I'm not against pulling the offer put to Allen and offering him a 2 year deal on very good money. Tell him to...

    Tsatas is shit and can't kick. Junior game just doesn't translate to AFL. Also doesn't want to leave Victoria. Hobbs is starting to come along alright and again didn't want to leave Victoria. Robertson again looks to be in that in between space of too good for state league, not good enough to...

    Ryan is potentially one we can potentially afford to lose. It would have to be for a very good pick even if it was the hawks pick + Ryan to get into the top 8 of the draft. Club likely needs to keep it's second rounders for Walley and Evans imo. We have some real top tier looking small forward...

    Clayton is the biggest talent to me. Will be interesting to see how he develops. Lets just hope he keeps growing.
