It's no secret that the current West Coast reserves setup is not ideal. Given you played for Peel both before and after they were aligned with Freo and also played during the Eagles East Perth alignment and filled in for the Eagles reserves in their hour of need you would have a broader view than just about anyone else of what the main issues are with the current reserves setup. What do the Eagles need to change, and how do you feel the non AFL listed reserves players would cope playing in a national reserves competition.

As a follow up question with regard to a national reserves competition; What would your thoughts be on the AFL increasing their list sizes so the majority of players in the reserves team are an AFL list.

How often did you or any of your teammates browse Bigfooty? Do you know of any players who has an account on Bigfooty? Are you related to Jarrad Schofield?
 
Have you ever got into a blue with a teammate at training, if not what was the biggest one you witnessed?
I have a memory of him touching on this briefly many episodes ago.
Jake Waterman was one, Matty Allen was another. Apparently Nicoski and Hurn had a real good go at each other one pre season fwiw.
 
Has Jake Waterman always been this good, just never afforded the same level of opportunity?

What is the biggest change Will has scene at the club (off field) with Don replacing King Nessie 1 as CEO?

List manager - is it really all through the player’s manager or is that just a holding statement?
To add to the 1st question, has he noticed differences in how Simmo is engaging/ running things wrt to the squad than in his time? (Pyke influence? on that)
 
From memory Schofield had a strong athletics background. I liked to see him go on his long runs carrying the ball but it seemed to happen much less in later years. Seemed damaging in that role.

What happened? Licence to roam revoked by Simmo? Assigned a different role? Injuries slowed him down?

He put on over 10 kgs one pre season, went from about mid 80s to mid 90s and became a lockdown defender.

He became alot heavier and more a lock down key back after simmo came in

Vaguely remember him or someone talking about him basically starting to bulk up towards the end of 2014. Which is the opposite of what everyone does towards the end of the year. Perhaps with glass retiring they probably wanted him to be the next in like key back behind emac and Brown
