Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
That would be 5 minutes one-on-one with the head coach. I would personally give him some blunt input and clear objectives such as "Mutes - unless you can adjust your kicking and provide the sort of disposal we need as a team coming out of defence, you will fester away in EP during 2017 and most likely be delisted come years end. Over to you young man."
There was one game late last year when he looked good but it was in the rain and bombing it forward is a legitimate tactic in a game of Meyers gained. These kids have to pick the brains of Shuey,Mitch, gaff and even Duggan and learn how to become better decision maker under pressure and how to find and execute targets going forward. Hopefully the more footy the win for East Perth the above improves. I can see both having good seasons for the royals as their late season form in a production sense wasn't too bad.

Not really leadership. It's a bit like when you were in school and you had a better understanding of a certain topic/chapter than your mate so you help him out. Also Duggan should spend a bit more time at EP compared to the others so he could get through the to them more.
Yes that does say something.
Redden and Wellingham were picks 17 and 18 though.
Really hope we land Mitch, perfect Le cras / Hill replacement.
Who knows how long Kennedy will play for,at least his first 3 years was in Vic and not flying 10,000 km a year. Hopefully he'll last to 32 / 33.
2018 forward 6
Rioli(175) Kennedy(196) Cripps (183)
McGovern (191) Darling (191) ( Venables (185)
Bench: Waterman (192), Lycett / Vardy (200), Redden (190), Partington (181)
Nice spread and the heights are that of the more modern mobile forward line.
Land of the giants no more.
Lamb could possibly be gone by the end of the year, if he doesn't pull his anus out of his head. Hopeful but not convinced.
Lamb and waterman are not really key position players. Lamb plays his best footy away from goal and pushing down the ground. Waterman has shown a similar tendency but can play as a lead up tall but is undersized at AFL level.
Avishka - gone a bit too far on that call. Having seen Waterman play colts and U18, I disagree with you. About the only way you can bracket Lamb and Waterman together is on height. They play nothing like each other. And yes, Waterman was a key target in the forward line for both WA and Claremont. The pace of the game has changed the KPF definition. For much of the U18 it was Strnadica and Waterman as the go to targets. Have a look at Gunston at Hawthorn.
I poorly worded that but I still rekon they're aren't KPF at AFL level. Yes I agree that Jake played key position last year but it would be a stretch for him to do so at the next level. At times he was pushing into the middle or down the ground last season and I thik at AFL level thats the usual role players of his size type play. That said he is more likely to to turn into a traditional kpf than Lamb and probably end up like darling (who I don't think can lead our forward line for many years).
Interested to hear what you think makes him an awesome mentor!
I just think a young forward could learn a lot from Kennedy's style of play and work ethic.there is no better kpf at providing forward pressure and he goes alright at kicking goals too.
Stocking up on the mates of our underperformers? Solid plan.
worrying.Stocking up on the mates of our underperformers? Solid plan.
Sadly Cripps loves it at Carlton. One club player in the making.worrying.
However Carlton are looking years away, another Cripps would not go astray, I hope he is being made welcome.
Mitchell loved it at Hawthorn, anything is possible
