You mentioned 9 of our senior players (10 if you incl. Sheed) may not be on the list in 3 years...
Half the kids on our list will not make AFL grade, and we need to find out which are not going to make it asap.
I mentioned selection integrity prioritising the good form of developing players...
...to get to the premiership window, which should put us there roughly around 2030. That's six seasons to develop and turn over the list.
ZaneTrew is a great example because he was part of a WAFL team going nowhere. Look at our WAFL team for next year. Most of that group will be AFL players in...
...pressure to blood the kids, not decrease it.
Then there's the debate as to how successful our WAFL development program is... let's ask ZaneTrew how "building" in the WAFL feels...
There just needs to be selection integrity, and good/promising form in young players should be prioritised...
...Sam back at West Perth for next season. Josh will be a pivotal player under second-year coach Jason Salecic at the northern suburbs club.
ZaneTrew — Swan Districts
Quickly signed with the Swans after being cut by the Eagles. The big-bodied midfielder has shown he is a star at WAFL level...
...- East Perth WAFL
Coby Burgiel - training with us
Jai Culley - Casey VFL
Jamaine Jones - South Freo WAFL
Josh Rotham - West Perth WAFL
ZaneTrew - Swan Districts WAFL
Alex Witherden - TBC
Bulldogs
Dom Bedendo - TBC
Charlie Clarke - TBC but linked to Port VFL
Alex Keath - East Brighton (Vic)...
...16.5 hit-outs in 10 games.
Rotham is one of several former AFL players to return to the WAFL after being delisted.
Former Eagles teammate ZaneTrew is back at Swan Districts, while Fremantle defender Ethan Hughes has joined South Fremantle alongside former Collingwood and West Coast WAFL...
...with GWS, with his signing considered by many an attempt at helping Reid settle into WA.
The West reported last month axed Eagles Jamaine Jones and ZaneTrew have signed with South Fremantle and Swan Districts respectively, while Next Generation Academy product Jordyn Baker has joined East...
That’s a lot of names, who do you want if we are taking two?
I would rather we focus on players who have been delisted prematurely, say Hotton and Burgiel, its not common that players taken in the second round are cut so quickly, unless there is a few issues, I would rather take a chance on...
The only name on that list that strikes me as AFL level (when rarely fit) is Jack Martin who the Cats have bagged. Preuss might get a run at another club because ruckmen get 10 year + careers just because of their height.

I wouldn't waste too much time on this yet, there are a bunch more players likely to be added as teams make further cuts to their lists for the draft.
I had been keen on Konstanty or Owies as small forwards but they got traded as teams were starting to sniff around them as DFA's.
I would...

I didn’t say he wasn’t getting games, I said he was our defensive mid. Which implies playing, because…you know. He played.
Anyway it’s all moot now. I wouldn’t shit on him cause of some confused alignment with a poster on here, I shit on him cause he’s an awful league footy player (who we...
...because right around that time I saw him down the local pie shop and I figured that was not a good sign.
I'm currently hoping Luke Edwards is retained so if you want to pay out on a different young player who doesn't deserve it he'd be your target, we can leave ZaneTrew now in peace I think.
...couldn’t walk, Baker and Graham played for Richmond. Quite the gotcha.
I was clearly talking about 2024. If I were talking about 2025, ZaneTrew’s name wouldn’t have come up because I’m not much of a WAFL guy.
I don’t follow the draft. I read two articles and a few posts the week of and...
