Andrew McQualter - how long?

[BigVic]

How long will he last at the Eagles after this trade period?

[HairyO]

Not sure how much is his fault, and how much is the Board wanting a light rebuild and top up.

Whoever is pushing it behind the scenes, McQualter is the one that will be left holding the responsibility down the line. If pick 3 ends up the next Chris Judd when they split that pick to be pick up one of his mates from his former club, they will go nuclear on him.

Worry about your own club you little turnpike

Worry about your own club you little turnpike

too busy worrying about his old club

 

[cottoneyeYeo]

bro hasn't even coached a game yet

Not sure this trade gets blamed on him, I am sure there is another Victorian somewhere that can be blamed.

That being said I doubt he will last through their rebuild because it's going to take a very long time.

 

[adammania9]

Two years ago they traded out of the pick Sheezel went at. Why would they do it again?

Blame it on Tim Gepp.

 

[Corkintheocean]

He's finished already. Won't survive being associated with this trade. How long it will be before he is turfed remains to be seen. I'll guess at 2 years.

West Coast Eagles how long?

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

Because the club is run by _______.

 

[oak79]

Stupid thread. He hasnt coached, and he's not the guy making the trades.

This one isn't on him and I don't think clubs will hold it against him.

Correct answer.

 

[daniel23]

He is taking on the worst list in the comp by a mile. They still have some big names , but the list is so unbalanced and they have somehow made it worse this trade period.

3 of their top 6 player have max 2-3 years left in yeo, McGovern, Kelly. It's Looking like they will only take 1 top 20 pick this year , and then filled gaps with ok players in that 26-30 year old bracket that won't be there for the next finals run. Guarantee they will sell the farm for Warner hoping he will be the saviour with reid. But as good as reid is he will also be the issue as the club will bend over backwards to try keep him happy.

 

[juss]

What if this trade becomes irrelevant and they progress winning more games?

 

[Cdog71]

It Mathew Clarke that should take the hit.

Every club will have a view on how hawthorn just walked and left em in a really sh.t spot though

Yes it is. 'I've promised there's a place for my mate' BS.

Breaking a rebuild and your list profile for a 27 yo midget utility. Jesus wept.

No but he's the one who'll bear the consequences because we won't have any decent young talent.

Surely Don Pyke would have something to answer for if things turn bad?

 

[nurries]

Bringing in experience to try to keep Harley instead of committing to a rebuild. Might work for a couple of years but if it doesn’t they be screwed when Tassie starts sucking the top end of the draft

 

[masai tu]

I’m getting Ken Judge Mk2 vibes.

Feels that McQualter will be told what to do, rather than he be given the reins.

 

[kaiserchief13]

He is the one who demanded Baker. He needs to win 8 games minimum in 2025 or he should be on the hotseat
