The (most) illogical part was Brayshaw wanting to move.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Players have changed clubs after a flag before.

It's all illogical.

While under contract? Moving to the opposite side of the country? Without any warning?

 

[archiemoses]

Just like including Brander as part of the Kelly deal was illogical

Matt Flynn also off the market.

Luke Strnadica, come on down.

I feel really bad for even suggesting it but if kennedy retires how about bloody Mason Cox for two years… would be a good set up next to allen.

Did Darling suddenly retire in this scenario too?

I think we need someone who can come in and play as #1 ruck if NicNat’s not available. I don’t think that’s Cox.

 

[Alesana]

I'd go
1 Jones
2 Witherdon
3 Langdon

Interested to know how others rate them.

I'm also happy to see SPS head to the top of that list.

1. SPS
2. Witherden
3. Jones
4. Langdon

Tim english is so overrated by WA fans. Kid is a ruckmen that can’t do the basic job as a ruckman. The irony is that he’d be a genuine whipping boy at West Coast.

English makes brander look like Chuck Norris

 

[KERRPOW]

If sydney offered a good deal for barass id do it in a heartbeat.

 

[WCEswift]

I feel like brander would benefit hugely from a WAFL allignment

 

[Goroyals22]

Darling doesn’t play at ff or forward pocket infact most of the time he is barley sighted anywhere but if you want to be pedantic sure

The only positive I can think of for recruiting Cox would be that it guarantees he doesn't have his 1 good game a year against us.

Get out.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

You're missing the point, maybe they are lifers, maybe they're not? Have you asked them?

Circumstances change. If you want tangible change at West Coast, that line of thinking won't deliver it.

Time for list management to be creative and aggressive.

If they don't want to be fine, bu we have to accept the status quo.

Don’t get me wrong I appreciate you throwing ideas out there and we need something to discuss.

however both darling and McGovern are wa boys with wa wives and family, and in McGovern’s case a business he owns, coupled With being under contract for a fair while yet. Neither of them are interested in leaving.

I don’t know but I think he could handle it. Otherwise Williams can do it.

Callum Sinclair for a year ?
If old nose beers ladhams goes to Sydney

Sinclair re-signed recently. I don’t know what Sydney plan to do with all their ruckmen.

 

[ghostbat12]

So glad the standing on the mark rule has increased scoring!

More the reduced interchanges. Players are too stuffed to run and find space.

So go back to playing players in their actual positions

I agree we as a club need to be creative and aggressive.
But trying to trade loyal local players interstate is neither.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Dunstan signing with Melbourne is the most baffling decision by a player since Preuss signed with Melbourne.

Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?!

perhaps you could learn about the game

"Other clubs are interested in Brander"
"Can we know which ones?"
"...no."
