Look at the toast, so desperate to get the win in their grand final that they announce a bunch of retirements of their heart and soul players right before the derby.

Sad sad sad.

The eagles were $3.70 at the start of the week.

Then down to $2.70 on Wednesday.

Now blown out to $5.20. lol

Glad Worner gets a proper crack in the 22.

Don’t mind the rotating of Johnno and Ras the back half of the year. Continue development, but manages the load for them both.

I've gone over it a few times but I really think ras should be dropped to peel for wafl finals qualification

Those premiership runs were invaluable to players like Langdon, weller, cox, ryan, taberner


A real crack at some hot finals footy would be great for Erasmus development imo

I think you're right, our AFL season is shot while Peel is in the hunt for a flag. He would get more out of WAFL finals then some meaningless late season AFL games as sub.

 

[sherrif]

You got your wish with Worner

I'm really happy for him as he showed some good signs in limited minutes in his debut game and he deserves to be selected on form unlike some of the players who've been selected in recent times despite not performing at a consistent level. I'd also prefer Erasmus play a game at WAFL level if he's not selected as sub as I think it makes him eligible for WAFL finals if he does and in my view playing WAFL finals and has more potential benefit for him leading into next year than one extra game of AFL.

 

[Paracleet]

Yes it's unfortunate the Peel game is on Saturday. Someone, without checking, played as a sub then played WAFL earlier this year did they not? Sturt maybe?

 

[Paracleet]

Or am I thinking of where someone was a emergency flying back from east and playing WAFL same weekend?

Ethan Stanley did that. As for being AFL sub then playing WAFL the day after, wasn't that Banfield at one point this season?

Think you're right (Banfield) but it might've been last year or something

 

[Dale147]

Journalists have gone feral.

 

[Dale147]

And more

 

[Dale147]

Form guide, no it’s not the races.

 

[DragoDelph]

Really hope the team goes out with the intention to curb stomp the toast.

WAFL News - WAFL Finals Rules & Regulations

In order to qualify for the WAFL Finals AFL listed players must ... have played in at least 5 games in order to qualify for WAFL finals ... must also have played more WAFL League games than AFL games. If an AFL player has been named as an emergency for his AFL club and travels with the team or if the AFL Player has been named as an emergency for his AFL Club when they play at home and does not participate in that AFL Fixture, that emergency game will be credited towards the minimum of five (5) WAFL qualifying matches in the relevant season unless his WAFL team have a bye on that same round of games.

Erasmus currently on 6 WAFL games and 11 AFL games, with 3 Peel games left. Won't qualify for WAFL finals unless there have been enough of those AFL emergency situations (can't be bothered checking but I doubt that happened 3 times) ... plus the wording is a grey area over whether those count above the 5 minimum games.

EDIT: I am not sure if those are old rules I came across? Someone else could confirm?

Those aren't the right rules

I've posted them in the peel thread

JL said definitively today Young is playing in the backline because of the loss of Hughes. I'm not going to lie, if this happens I am going to be incredibly angry

If Aish can run with Kelly that might be enough.

Me too. Gutless. What the hell is Worner for? Aish?

I can only think he's ******* with WC. Worner is literally a direct in for Hughes, they play the exact same role and it's not like we are lacking height for what WC have up there

If we put Young in the midfield against the budgies, we wont need a backline

Yeah, this was at the joint media conference.

Either that or they're going to through Worner through the middle, he's played there at Peel right?
