Player Watch Charlie West

[Nepotism]

Still warmer then Victoria

By some way. But the nights still get a bit chilly.

 

[Vicky Park]

So won’t play until either those Players are Injured or Badly need a Rest and IF they don’t Retire could have a Simmlar Issue in 2026?

2026 is a long way off TD. Things will change. We could even be crying out for Howes to get a game before then.

In 2026 with another preseason under the belt, he’ll be better placed to usurp an incumbent rather than just potentially cover them being managed.

 

[rand corp]

Young kid in his first year developing nicely

In 2026 it won't be inconceivable that he could go past Membrey or possibly even Mihocek in the depth chart. Hell, if he bulks up and improves his tank, he might be a suitable backup ruck candidate and be able to play in McStay's place.

Can't assume anything, but no, I would doubt that it would even be remotely a similar issue in 2026.

I would not be surprised if Charlie gets a run on Monday.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Meh, Charlie West is so last month.

Noah Howes is now where it’s at

 

[Ctracks]

Who is this guy Simmlar that TD keeps talking about?

 

[Fat Jesus]

Nuts Coventry

 

[Pistol Night]

Nuts Coventry

Hes Simmlar but different

 

[granniewolf]

Nuts Coventry

Was that Gorden's nickname?

 

[manicpie]

Was that Gorden's nickname?

It sure was

 

[Fat Jesus]

Hes Simmlar but different

Yes, nuts looked like a robbers dog.

 

[granniewolf]

It sure was

Wowzer, I did not know that.
I better start reading some of these books I've been accumulating

 

[ClaytonM]

Didn't Charlie play further up the ground in VFL last week?
Is that half forward flank?

Yes which is probably part of the development process for him Getting him to build and expand on the way he has played so far. He still has plenty to learn and experience to build.

Wests seems a bit loss last few weeks especially with Howes coming into the VFL Side

Could help get better Delivery for him too not just Long Bombs

 

[Dtennent94]

Needs to go back to being injured.

 

[unplugged]

Cochran's kick inside 50 just before from about 80 out was a good example of the problem. Needed one more short kick to get the ball in to a leading forward. Was Melbourne/Carlton esque.

The likes of West have no chance marking something like that

Does make it very hard for him to Mark Balls when just Bombing it in hope

 

[Rorzza]

It has now been a number of games where we have seen a number of selfless acts by big Westy, superb!

 

[TradeDraft]

Good to see West get more Involved in the a game as gone up the Ground bit more in 3rd Qtr

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Yes, nuts looked like a robbers dog.

Diamond creek boy. The creek was named after the bull, called Diamond, who fell in and drowned.
I don't know the indigenous name.

 

[nickyds35]

Really poor balance in this team that players like West and Howes need to player like smalls when ball hits the ground.


Also with HDM, will go as far to say that I don’t think he has looked once when disposing of the ball, not once.
