If we’re paying Barrass more than we’re paying Mutimer then the board needs to be sacked IMO.

I just can't wait until 2025 when we'll have millions to spend

Jokes aside, only 10 of our 40 listed players are contracted beyond 2023 so we should be more than capable of resolving our salary cap issues by then

Barrass an Eagle for life (westcoasteagles.com.au)

Barrass 5 years and Luke Edwards for an another 2 on top of his current 2.

Totally missed the Edwards resigning. Thanks for breaking that news for me.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Kinda surprised that he’s only played 99 games. Five years is a big investment by the club and on the long end of what he should’ve been given

He should have two personal goals going forward
1) To play a minimum 20 games in a season which he hasn’t yet done
2) To at least make the 40 man AA squad and ideally the final 22 at some stage. He has the ability to reach that level

Good luck to him

A third should be to get into our leadership group.

 

[Dark Sharks]

XON getting 2 years when he has essentially shown nothing other than being a below average ranked midfielder in every measurable statistic...

Kinda makes me scratch my head. That's 5 years at AFL level guaranteed, and he's still not in our best 22 going into his 4th year. Should've been a 1 year extension.



Edwards has shown more in his first season than O'Neil did in 3.

Lets just hope that these two:

I want O’Neill, along with Petrevski- Seton, to be putting genuine pressure on Sheed and Redden* for a spot in the best 22 either by consistently strong WAFL performances or by nailing an opportunity in the seniors created by injury.

Clarke, due to his age and more mature body, I think should also be aiming to unseat Redden in particular. He might get that chance round 1 if Redden is still overcoming his shoulder surgery

LEdwards, Trew and West should be focusing on making an impact for the Beagles so they’re ready to step in if the injury gods * with our mids again

* Sheed and Redden are the most vulnerable of our established mids. Shuey, Yeo, Kelly and Gaff are little to no chance of being omitted if fully fit. Although they shouldn’t be playing if they aren’t

So you would be happy to see him quit? Bad luck, he has re-signed!

 

[FKASC]

They were worried about O’Neill being poached by the Brumbies

 

[Dark Sharks]

Fair call too. Brumbies have been a desitionation club ever since they recruited Blayne.

These 2 will usher in a golden age of weekly bakes and oft thrown Gatorade bottles

Not sure if a once a week bake is enough for Willie though.

True that. Grab some hose from the grounds staff and he's on his way to the airport.

If Barrass was the level of Glass, Mackenzie, McIntosh I'd say fair enough give him his big contract.

But he's clearly below their standard. If his management had threatened to use free agency I'd have said here's the taxi fare and clean out your locker. He's very replaceable.

Happy with the 2 years for LEdwards.

Yeah the list management has been poor since 2018 and doesn't look like it's going to improve anytime soon.

Did we settle on what sexual was getting?

If it's 400k that's a friggin bargain

We dont know, such facts get in the way of a heated 'debate'.
I agree $400k would be the steal øf the season
