Nelson getting a game to boost his trade value. After learning from the Brander debacle, the MC are going to play Nelson for the next 2 weeks and Simmo will talk up his solid game and hope like * the other 17 teams in the comp forget he couldn't break into the starting 22 for this absolute basket case of a team for most of the season.
Nek minute, GCS trade 2nd Rd for Nelson.

Someone earlier called Nelson the Chief Celebrator.
Rubbish!
To put in Derby terms, cuddles Langdon is Freo and Nelson is the Eagles.
Can't wait to see Langdon fist pump when he makes a kick over 35m.

Great to see Bazzo back and Rotham get the chance to continue his late charge for the Coleman.
But Nelson over Winder is just baffling. Dude's the footballing equivalent of that giant Aztec head Mr Burns bought the Simpsons: whatever it is he does, he's doing it right now and it's not very impressive. At this point, why not play someone who at least has potential?

Frankly I won’t be happy until our selectors adopt a Logan’s Run-esque policy and have everybody over the age of 21 sent off to carousel for reincarnation.
Must mean Winder is out the door and Greg Clarke not far behind

Simpson might as well be Tony Montana at this point:

Kennedy managed ? wtf?
What's the point of Dixon up forward when we have Darling and Waterman already ? It's going to be raining for crying out loud you could say he's a straight swap for Kennedy but we should be seeing how Darling and Waterman work together.
This could possibly be the 2019 result but in reverse where we won by 91 points, ahh good memories.

Pencil Nelson in for 5 coaches votes.
The only reason I can come up with for Nelson getting a game is so he can go past Karl on our all time games record.
Karl must have put in a request so he can remain the only Eagle to have played exactly 100 games & forever be a pub quiz answer.

Some of the melts suggest otherwise
Adam Simpson - West Coast Eagles coach
Simpson previews this weekend's Derby against Freo and explains why he doesn't want to buy in to talking about opposition players.
Which one of you campaigners is “Peter from Sydney”?
Decidedly convenient that Simmo’s line dropped out just when Haselby was asking Pete’s question about the selection of Nelson ahead of Winder…
Edit - from 10:28
I’d say we don’t have a lot of talent in the 40 to 100 games category. Instead give exposure to the 20 or less gamers. Nothing to lose.
At the extreme they may all show they are no better than Waterman, Nelson, Langdon, Witherden etc. But if they don’t get a fair run at it - in position - how can we be sure?
Plus - take every chance to ‘manage’ those aged over 28 who won’t play a part in our next PF.
