[SAweagle]

care

Cheezer has got a fair beak on him. Might have Coxy and Pav covered.

careful

 

[Ochre]

With Ginbey and Hewitt, really exciting to imagine our midfield round 1.

Probably something like

Kelly Gaff Sheed
Naitanui Shuey Yeo
Bench: O'Neill
Sub: Culley
Emg: Chesser, Ginbey, Hewitt

 

[Dark Sharks]

Exciting times, so many fresh faces ^

 

[MaxHunt]

You really going to act that daft you can't get people prioritising addressing our midfield with our first 2 selections BEFORE taking the punt on a speculative Allan?

Think you'll find very few people on here were saying he's crap, just didn't want to spend either of our first 2 picks on him.

Soon as the Hewett pick got tucked away he would've been ideal.

Yeah it seems some on here think if you have a preference, it means you think anyone else is rubbish.

 

[dinnaz]

Lewis Hayes

Jakob Ryan

Harry Barnett

HAGAN Jed

Callum Verrell

Charlie Clarke

29 looks like getting a good player as well

Unless we repeat 2021.

 

[kranky al]

Absolutely furious that we didnt even try to pick a kp player that slid to us.

Said noone on this board ever.




Im still in shock, we picked midfielders… we may even give them midfield minutes…..

 

[W.C. Fry]

2 good picks and a jumper that fits.
This club is going places!

 

[Hook461123]

After Ginbey and the draft going as predicted I was genuinely surprised, relieved and happy all at the same time that we took Hewett over Allan.

Plenty left on the board after the surprise Sydney bids. Hoping for 2 of George, Hotton, Barnett, Burgiel or Clarke.

With the club's injury record, it's unlikely we'll even get to see that.

 

[mezaire]

Great night and hoping for Barnett and Burneil tomorrow night to hopefully set us up for years to come!!

 

[eaglespremiers]

Cal mentioned the following players who he believed would go early tomorrow:
Harry Barnett
Brayden George
Lachie Cowan
Jakob Ryan
Charlie Clarke

Draft wrap: Eagles' bold move pays off

The West Coast Eagles recruited two powerful young midfielders on the opening night of the 2022 NAB AFL Draft

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

 

[squashface]

In the absence of Keys I went down for a trundle this morning to check out the Eagles draft haul. Just a few random notes I took down...

• A lot of running work again, clearly a focus even in the heat.
• Ginbey looked on and was hitting targets left and right. Set for a huge 2023.
• Hewett went up against Ginbey in the ruck contests and I'd say that Ginbey has the inside running at the moment.
• Ginbey looked a class above the other midfielders bar Hewett. Just knew how to find the footy and wouldn't miss a target all session. Ginbey was very quiet and seemed to be taking direction from Ginbey. Doesn't bode well for his captaincy credentials, maybe he doesn't want the gig?
• Won't say too much about it in case I was just reading too much into it, but Hewett looked as though he'd enjoyed the Christmas break a bit too much. A few of the coaches pulled him aside and they were having quite an animated conversation before Ginbey was sent to do laps for the rest of the session. Good news for Hewett, I suppose.
• Hewett kicked on his right foot for 80% of the session, I reckon. Nice to see players working on their non-preferred so readily.
• Hewett looked like he was doing a great job 'coaching' the younger forwards in between the drills. Ginbey in particular seemed to be following him around.
• Gee Hewett has some skills. He mainly jogged laps before spending the last half hour or so on set shots - curled a few beauties from behind the boundary line at the end for a bit of fun. Hardly saw him miss a kick.
• What interested me the most was that Ginbey split his time between the defenders and the forwards, could be seeing a swingman role in 2023. He was his usual dominant self down back in some match simulation drills before going head-to-head with Ginbey in a forward role.
• Ginbey is very fast - Ginbey was in most of the drills with him and couldn't keep up.
• Ginbey is pale as buggery and still doesn't really have the body shape you'd expect of an AFL player.
• There was a big bloke who pulled up next to me and I could have sworn it was Hewett, but I'm sure I was wrong...
• Hewett was the player picked to kick the goal at the end today and nailed it. Celebrations were huge.
• No sign of Hewett, Ginbey or Ginbey. Couldn't tell you why.

Will upload pics later if I have time. Let me know if you have any questions!
