    Also this is completely false, once Lycett moved to Port and out from under Nic Nat he averaged more hitouts per game every year than Bailey did this season

    Bailey averaged more hitouts in 2023 than Lycett ever did in his career. That includes Lycetts time at the Power. Sure he was impacted by Naitanui but it's not like he was ever a dominant ruck with us. He wasn't dominant at Port either. Just solid. I'll agree that Lycett was a more consistent...

    Ahhh. I remember when posters said the same thing about Goldstein. When Naitanui did his knee in 2018 and Eagles had traded out Hickey I posted on the Eagles board we could do worse than bring Goldstein over with Simo, Hickmont and Petrie coaching to add some experience. Seven years later Nic...

But the Eagles signed Nic Naitanui for two more years despite knee issues in 2022 and he did not play another game, retiring halfway through the contract. So West Coast will have to...

    Wasn't sure where to post this. From Codesports. I think its good by the club to be cautious with this. Would suck to lose allen after losing barrass but if he decides to leave more a bigger or longer term contract then so be it.

    Most Hitouts in a Grand Final

    It is quite remarkable that the top 3 on this list, and 7 of the top 8, were ruckmen playing on the losing side in the Grand Final. Goes to show that Hit Outs aren't always important - it depends more on the players around the ball to gain possession and use it well.

    We've had a sub par midfield for a decade +, it's been papered over whenever we had a fit Nic Nat. It just showed his complete and utter dominance. Thinking upon it, i think he's probably my favourite all time eagles player because of that. And the fact i'm a failed, broken down ruck.
