Lol @ BSD giving this a 👎
Someone asked who was the second year bolter referred to in the article by Eliza Reilly
Hamish Davis was the player she was talking about which stemmed from an answer Tom McCarthy gave in his press conference
So yeah Davis has been drawing attention to himself so...
Merriman did say in the injury report Long was on load management so him back training today is consistent with that which is good news
The “scout” in the WA team gear might well be someone from the state development program since at least Farmer was training today - not sure if any of the...

Training notes from the West for what they’re worth, which isn’t very much
Sounds like a typical mid week session with senior players in particular on reduced minutes and more skill work than anything structured around game plan
Had a small fracture in his wrist before Christmas that kept him out of contact work to end the year
Trained fully on Monday including all of matchsim work
Not there today so no idea if he’s trained or to what extent
There’s some solid points made there but overall there’s some gaping holes in that analysis
Not a single mention of our ruck situation which is a significant contributor to our low clearance numbers
Not a single mention of our small forward stocks who were a contributing factor to not only...

New injury update
• Rodriguez has a stress injury in his foot and will be non weight bearing for a couple of weeks which explains his absence yesterday
• Tom Cole has a finger tendonitis injury that will keep him of...
Good news is the boys are back training as the countdown to R1 of 2026 commences (62 days until March 15)
Bad news is they’re back on the main oval behind locked gates, which means I had to resort to watching through the mesh fencing from the carpark that’s 50m away from the oval
So there’s...

Mike Hussey made a valid point that there needs to be scrutiny on batters using up time/delaying the game as well. Can’t be penalising the fielding side if the batting side have been dragging their feet
Best 23 per Fox Footy
Hard to argue with most of it but these are the somewhat debatable selections:
Allan on the wing ahead of the likes of Davis, Dewar, Hall, Schoenberg or Macrae - I’d have Davis at this point based on training performance
Duff-Tytler as second ruck instead of Archer Reid...
Whilst the next open session isn’t until Wednesday, I expect the players will return to training tomorrow after their Christmas/New Year break
Following the pre-break injury report released by the club (link below), I’ll be interested to see what involvement the players mentioned have
• Sam...
Injury-plagued West Coast veteran Elliot Yeo concedes his days of playing exclusively as an inside midfielder are probably over with him likely to spend time either back or forward in 2026
Definitely something to work on with Tylah- can see his ability in training drills. Very agile with a nice left foot on him not unlike Sonny
Players should be returning about now - some clubs trained today, expect all will be back into it by Monday at the latest
Odds for RS per Sportsbet
Duursma 3rd favourite behind Jaffa Smith and Dyson Sharp
CDT and Shanahan both in the top 10
FWIW, Lindsay ($34), Allan ($67) and Williams ($101) are the other West Coast players listed
The first two rows on level 5 used to be sold as restricted view due to the railing on the glass balustrade- got seats there for the 2018 QF against Collingwood and they were awesome
Not sure if that still applies because they clearly weren’t restricted to any significant extent. For...
Not that I think it’ll make much difference given Fagan’s comments but you’d think Neale will be a Restricted Free Agent
This year will be his 8th at Brisbane and it’s likely he’d be in the top 25% of salary on their list which means he’ll be a RFA
I was keen to get him across when it was...
Funny series with the win built largely on the efforts of Starc, Head and Carey. Boland and Neser provided decent support for Starc with the ball albeit both benefited from Carey standing up at the stumps which took away a key tactic of the English batters
Smith’s century in this test bolstered...
Duursma, CDT and Shanahan are all very good chances to get nominated and also to receive votes to the point where one of that trio could potentially win it
Davis, Allan and Lindsay would also be a decent chance at getting a nomination
Gross, Grego Champion and anybody else are all an outside...
There are a lot of out of contract players who are playing for their future this year
None of Long, Brockman, Maric, Barnett, J Williams, Hall, Johnston, Bazzo, Cole, Newton, Champion, Rodriguez, Macrae or Schoenberg are clear best 23 players with some naturally being closer than others. That’s...
