Boys still wearing ISC. Bad energy

 

[flamingEMBERS]

We’ve also won in Sekem, Puma and ISC, so it bodes well for Castore

Boys still wearing ISC. Bad energy

It’s funny that we can get the Castore merch now but they still wear the old stuff. Potentially they re-signed a short term deal with ISC that hasn’t expired yet

Replying to
@FootyRhino
*Vic returnees Duggan, Gaff, Nelson, Brander back training with main group after quarantine. Witherden, Williams among others still in iso. *Duggan's mullet beyond help. Only thing more noticeable was his prominence in drills - got plenty of it linking through back/mid. 2/3

watching on. He's being managed through pre-season - worth noting he came back two weeks early to train with young guys pre-Xmas. 1/3

 

[Chris_6678]

Some epic footage of Duggans long mullet and looks fit and a beast.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Could be a break out year for Duggan. He showed signs last year. Exciting.

 

[WCErevival]

Best JKs been in a long while? Wasn't the same said last year?

 

[Rowan18]

Best JKs been in a long while? Wasn't the same said last year?

He played a great season. Highest scoring forward in the elim final (though had he kicked straight for one of his 4 behinds, we would have won). If he has similar form in 2021 we'll have a good season.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Big concerns if Yeo and Shuey go into the season unfit.

 

[WCErevival]

He played a great season. Highest scoring forward in the elim final (though had he kicked straight for one of his 4 behinds, we would have won). If he has similar form in 2021 we'll have a good season.

Nothing against JK was just an odd thing to say considering how much the media went on about his preseason last year.

 

[southcoast]

Sounds like Jermaine Jones is giving it a red hot crack in 2021.

Dropped 4kgs, according to Simmo.

Eagles goalsneak ready to fire after dropping 4kg

West Coast coach Adam Simpson expects this slimmed-down small forward to go to a new level in 2021 after shedding weight during the off-season.

He is with with his close mate Kelly so sounds like he wants to make an impression and stick around.

Jermain's loss is Liams gain.

Quarantine quartet back in the nest

West Coast is a step closer to resuming training with its full squad after four Eagles rejoined the group

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

Despite the unusual pre-season, including a later start and quarantine requirements, Simpson has been pleased by the motivation and physical condition of his players, keen to improve on last year’s elimination final exit.

“It’s hard to define because every season is a new one, but it just feels like there has been a bit of a gap now between 2018 and ’21,” he replied to a question about the squad’s ‘fire in the belly’.

“I feel like already there’s been a few different levers we’ve pulled in a week that we’ve been here. It’s a different feel and it’s exciting.

 

[flyinghi64]

If I did an AFL pre season I reckon Id lose 20+kgs

I reckon I would throw up A LOT. Lose A LOT of weight or probably have heart attack.

running around and thought he will only ever be depth.Yes hes got a bit of niggle but other than that hes not gone on with it.when i first saw his draft highlights i thought wow this guy looks a natural on his left.But he appears to have forgotten that.Mate using a left equally as good as your right can elevate you from ok to very good.He needs to sit down and watch a highlights package from S. Mitchell.Marking at half back;going back and banging it up the wing will not get you the kudos that whirling infield and using your left will.Nor is it the expected outcome and opens up the corridor.He needs to train relentlessly on his left as it is a huge weapon he has at his disposal;one he rarely uses.Im really surprised that the WCE coaching staff haven't gotten on his case.We recruited him with a certain skill set yet he leaves half of it at home when he comes to play.

Thought he improved a lot last season tbh. Doing perfectly well for a pick 51
