All the squeezers on here who wanted Reid playing half back flank picking up cheap touches have gone quiet.

I argue with my old man about Chesser because he doesn't rate him. He needs to be allowed to fail, learn, get better because the talent and running ability is there. Simpson's stalled the development of so many of our draftees by constantly dropping them for experienced players. These young...

I was stoked we went for him because he has speed and is a good kick. Something we need. He's just making too many mistakes at the moment though, and looks timid too. Should probably go to the WAFL for a while.

Mate you're dreaming if you've got Macintosh at the top of West Coasts key defender pyramid ahead of Jako & Gov. And I loved Macintosh.

I'd put Gov as equal to Jako, ahead of Macintosh and Glass. And Gov's got a better leg than all of them. But what's your point? Gov CHB until retirement? Then we fall of a cliff in defence. Shouldn't we be leaving Jamo one out against the key forwards? He's got the reach and he moves well. He...

Even SOS played forward at times his last few years. Simpson is just too rigid. I'd rather roll the dice and push either Tommy or Gov forward. Rather kick 10 goals and get spanked than 5.

I'd push Waterman to the wing. He lead all runners apparently this preseason. Good field kick too and might create a mismatch. In a Blake Acres type role. Bring Barnett in to play CHF. I'd also move Duggan to A high half forward role. He gets plenty of ball but hack kicks too often to be in the...

Surely we'll be able to pick up English via free agency on a front ended deal. I'd go to 1.2 mil for the first 2 years to knock out the competition. We should have cap space to burn with Darling and Gaffs deals ending.

I think you're right. The players need change.

Lowest ever score by the once mighty West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. Another half of uncompetitive football. No connection between the midfield and Forwards, just long hack kicks. Players who give half hearted efforts chasing. And get a game next week. We play with no intensity at all, with...

There's just a complete lack of intensity from the players for long stretches of games under Simpson for the last 3 seasons. At least 1 quarter per week of our players cruising out there, half assed chase efforts, missed tackles. Complacency set in years ago.

Would hate to see the lawn at Simpson's house.

Can't believe how cooked our players look. Yeo looked shot 7 minutes ago

That's gold Jerry

Gaff must have incriminating photos of Simpson. Luke Edwards wouldn't get a game on any other team. Ditto Tom Cole and Alex Witherden. Need to go tall. Because we've got no one at CHF to contest the bail out kick. Darling just has no impact anymore. Bring in Barnett, Jones, Hall or Burgiel if...

I want to see him in the middle for the first bounce round one. No half back bullsh!t. That burst from clearance when Luke Edward's rucked was a beautiful thing.

No I'm 45. And I love Lecca. Hit JK on the tit for about 60 goals. That ping he had from the boundry on the run where we had a player 10m clear at the top of the square was pure gluttony. Or the ping Jake had from 53m out that landed top of the square.

I watched Bailey Williams flat palm a centre bounce hit out in the 2nd quarter straight to Sean Darcy. His opponent. WTF was the plan between him and the mids? As in if I get first hand on it, it'll go to 3 o'clock etc. Clueless.

Waterman's the hungriest Eagle I've ever seen.

The hack kicks to no one, the 3/4 efforts in chasing and tackling, the lack of intensity. Nothing's changed.

Luke Edwards is barely a WAFL player. He's a poor man's Tom Cole

Could be a Pyke move along with the banner return trying to bring things back to normal. The players lame addition with the "pride is born" stuff was ridiculous. From memory it was the players saying the song was too short etc so we added it.

It's the jiu-jitsu shoulder throw. Pivot foot planted. Great to see the footage with his uncle. Loves the contact

Surely that's tongue in cheek

Hey mate we can agree to disagree. I think the best path forward for him is the way we played Hewitt this year. Let him play inside 50, even out of the square following Allen's leads, and then let him go into the middle for centre bounces. He's not going to have the endurance for the gut run...

I think you're right in that he isn't like either of them. They're both accumulators who mainly play outside. He's strong overhead for 185cm so maybe his comparison are blokes like Heeney or Toby Greene? Harley has at least that level of talent and it'd be a shame to see him not learning Allen's...

You can't use the Daicos comp to defend Simpson's plan for the best young Mid Forward in the country to spend time on half back. Fly needed the ball in Daicos's hand because of his elite leg, and it helped him break the tag. And Nic isn't an inside bull like Harley who can win his his own ball...

Happy to have Reid. 203cm or 6 foot 8 is ideal for a CHF who can Ruck if you're mobile and can kick well. Between him and Barnett at the same size, you'd hope one of them could lock down the role. We've got 2 more years of Darling on big money due to our inept list manager. But you'd hope that...

Be interesting to see what we could get for pick 30. Wouldn't want to drop past Brisbane at 31 or Geelong at 32 though. Anyway Archie Roberts doesn't look anything special. Ollie Murphy's ceiling might not be higher much higher than Rhett Bazzo. Sanchez looks ok but I doubt he could go onto the...

Curtin's game highlights for Claremont v East Perth in the rain where he's in the middle were exceptional. I know it's WAFL colts but he's a class above. One touch, tackling his ass off, winning clearances, stepping around blokes onto his left foot and then hitting targets. Got a bit of the Bont...
