Jack Hutchinson on SEN with Scotty and Goose

Main takeaway was him revealing he had some bone stress in his shins pre Christmas which is why he was held out of full training.

Other than that it sounds like he’s settling in well. Has moved in with Campbell Chesser and his girlfriend has recently moved across to WA from Victoria

McGovern told Jimmy Bartel the former Tigers assistant has brought a spark to the young side and has already overcome the adjustment challenge for a new senior coach.

Woodcocks interview with McQualter post the season launch

Some highlights

“There’s no right game plan in this league but ultimately the best way to execute a gameplan is to have the belief amongst everyone and real clarity in what you’re going after.
“There is real talent on every list, that’s not the difference. It’s about how people execute their roles, understand roles within the team and the camaraderie you build within that.”

“They’ve been super supportive. Pykey right from the start has been supportive, helpful and always there for a chat,” McQualter said.
“And then employing Woosha, he’s been incredible for me so far. I’ve really enjoyed my relationship with him, I didn’t know him prior and just his wealth of knowledge — he’s seen everything this football club’s been through and he’s seen everything in football in general.
“As a sounding board, he can still give that deathly stare every now and again but it’s maybe not quite what it was 20 or 30 years ago, but he’s been fantastic for me.”

Highlights

McQualter said the mix of moves were part of the Eagles being “really open” to discover the set-up to win most games of footy.
“Right now I’ve got no idea what our best mix is, that’s just where we’re at,” he said.
“That will just take some time but within that we’re going to try to settle players to play as well as they can.
“We’re going to spend some time exploring what our best mix is.”

McQualter said while it was a young squad he was pleasantly surprised at how athletic it was when he started late last year.
“One thing I have been pleasantly surprised with since I started is that we’re more athletic than I realised,” he said.
“There’s some excitement in that. There’s some real growth athletically for us and (high performance manager) Mat Inness and his medical team have done a great job in getting these guys fit and ready to play.

“We probably don’t know the ceiling for Chess yet,” McQualter said.
“Athletically, he has a really strong profile but unfortunately he’s had some challenges.
“We’re going to keep supporting him and hopefully he’ll get a really good run at it.”

The Eagles have pleaded patience as they transition the style on the field, knowing that it’s not going to be easy for them to adapt quickly.
McQualter is getting some help though in the form of recruits Liam Baker and Jack Graham who he worked with across his decade stint as an assistant coach at Richmond.
“That has been an important part of having Liam and Jack there,” he said.
“They’re both great players in their own right and they bring a lot of a football team. They’re great teammates, they work hard, they’ve got the right values but they also understand a fair part of what I’m trying to educate and coach.
“The challenge has been I’m educating our whole coaching group, our whole playing group so to have a couple of guys to relay that message has been really important.”
