2nds WAFL Watch - 2026 Edition

[Mighty Eagles]

But in seriousness, it's Harley's mate from home.

Im nervous. I’m still wearing the scars from his best mate who played in 2024.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Still no Miles-Wrency either. Presumably they’re giving him a big ramp-up.

I heard they're hiding his concussion problems under the guise of a lingering calf injury

Obviously. Anyone who doesn’t think that is an imbecilic stalker.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Former co-captain Jack Eastough out for most of the season with a hammy.

Even though that’s our only current injury amongst the top-ups, it does mean that every available player from the top up squad is included in the named side (including emergencies) this week. Which begs the question what are we going to do as the season goes on and injuries start to increase?

Can't we just ask Harry Taylor to stand in the defensive goal square for the whole game in exchange for filling his car with fuel?

Shit I'd do it if they asked.

Reckon Bunga could pull on the boots again if needed

What the **** in the name of Santa Maria is a Cipriani

The Datsun Cipriani was a small sedan released for the Italian market in the 1980's.

Hopefully it was an efficient model with a big tank and a tight turning circle.

Unfortunately, no. Small tank and big turning circle. Dropped shortly after debut.

 

[RookiePick]

Will be at MRP tomorrow but it will be too long a day to catch WAFL and then stay for the girls.

Perth should take care of us pretty handily if they are serious.

the bigger question is why are only 17 top up players on the eagles list when they need 25 as per rules.

WAFL Stand Alone Team Player Points Rulesa) The Senior Player Points List of Players must:i. Include a minimum of 25 players; andii. shall not exceed Seventy (70) cumulative Player points for WAFL Stand-alone Teams;b) The player points list shall be administered in accordance with Rule 2 and Rule 9.4

Hmm. Might have been reduced a bit in view of the extra AFL list spots.

Wonder if that makes us the first club in history to have both a player named after a car brand as well as a player named after a car from said brand on our list

Bodes well

 

[TwoStriders]

Perth are stacked with Key Position Defenders. Dean, Scoble and apparently the 2m tall Harding is playing there after training as a Key Defender with the Dockers.

Might be worth a look for the MSD if Edwards is in long-term strife.

 

[bombard]

Reckon Bunga could pull on the boots again if needed

Mate on the Former-footy-player-letting-shit-go scale, he's an absolute zero isn't he?

For those playing at home: Dean Cox scores a 6, and of course Stewie Dew scores an 11.

(No judgement, they've earned it)

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Pretty sure Bunga’s carved out of granite, not flesh and blood like us mere mortals. That has to have helped

 

[Elite Pete]

Hewett an BWilliams to play. Cole the player on standby

Surely will BWill, Hewett, Macrae, Gross and Hall in the middle we are at least competitive. I know most played last week and we weren’t but hope that’s not the norm.

Perfect use of the standby. Cole doesn’t need the run and BWill/Hewett can press for selection with a good WAFL outing.

 

[Lazzas]

We're is the WAFL televised or streamed this year? Still AFL aka VFL.com?

7plus is showing the game. Might be on a bit of delay though.

 

[ArdentEagle]

0.3 for Blowies while Cripps, Murdock, and Newton all had great showing yesterday.

Don't think he's getting his spot back any time soon.

Bailey Williams was pretty dominant yesterday as well apparently.

 

[TY24]

To be fair it did take 4 other smalls being unavailable for hin to get a gig

Where does Kingsley rate?

 

[Keys]

Where does Kingsley rate?

My memory of Kingsley as a player was that he was more scrawny than buff. Certainly nothing like what he’s become

Beveridge is a bit the same
