Opinion WCE 2023 and Beyond

[KERRPOW]

Standards and attitudes need to be completely overhauled.

Coaches & strength and conditioning staff need to lift their game push the players in preseason. No more ryan piking out on bootcamps because he is a lazy sod, everyone trains to a set standard with no one given leeway.

Bring back skinfolds, if you return to the club unfit your banished away from the club. No more excuses.

Senior players who remain in 2022 need to be told there is no more credits in the bank, the loyalty has run out. Preference will be given to youth.

If WCE rock up in season 2023 with the same shit, the same old ****ing line up with the credit in the bank boys. Im not going to be tuning out of all WCE games.

Thought I would take a crack at our best 22 2023 line-up with our current list:

FB: T.Cole T.Barrass B.Hough
HB: L.Duggan J.McGovern L.Foley
C: C.Chesser C.West P.Naish
HF: J.Cripps O.Allen L.Ryan
FF: W. Rioli J.Darling C.Jamieson
FOL: N.Naitanui L.Shuey E.Yeo

INT: J.Jones D.Sheed H.Edwards L.Edward

EMG: I.Winder G.Clark J.Rotham

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

When a bloke hasn't played a game and spent the entire year injured, but makes the starting line up of the best 22, you gotta love the footy cycle.

It's like whacking a Pick One placeholder alongside Nic Nat, Yeo and Shuey.

Simmo needs to look ahead, say 4 - 6 weeks ahead at what can be put on the ground then, not next week or the week after. Play guys in the WAFL, no fast track to the injured list again.
Aim to stabilise the list to get a sense of where we go to from here to 2023.

In addition, players should be plonked in their preferred positions. If Gaff remains, limit him to the wing. If West or Clark plays, it must be in the middle at centre bounces/stoppages, certainly not on the wing and not in the HFF unless rotating with another mid.

With a hopefully healthier list, players coming back from injuries (sidelined for >2 weeks), should return via the WAFL.

 

[KERRPOW]

Ill be dumping a trailer of horse shit at mineral resources.park if the round 1 midfield line up is Nic, kelly, shuey, redden, gaff, sheed.

Means nothings changed

If you can football you can play multiple positions, if not get lost. You are paid to football.

Its not whether they can football in multiple positions, its whether they good football in multiple positions. You can play Gaff at CHF if you like, Im sure he would give it his all to football there, I would just rather he didn't. He footballs better on the wing.

 

[Gentle Ben]

Get your point, but I want the club to be more ruthless in list management/turnover - especially during our impending 'rebuild'.

With this and if form warrants, players like Waterman should get an extended stint at CHF and not on the graveyard wing role, which will allow us to actually see if he can make it in the AFL.

If not, let's cut our losses early and trade/delist rather than having contracted players for a year or 2 longer than necessary.

We need to start this rebuild now.

Give hurn and kennedy farewell games at our next home game.

Give clark, west etc first dibs at CBA's. Supported by either shuey/kelly.

Give watermelon & dixon the rest of the year playing FF & CHF to see if there is anything worth persisting with.

To be honest we are so rubbish its hard to know where to start, maybe **** the gameplan off and go man on man.

Disappointed I never came up with watermelon before. That’s Gold, Jerry. Gold!

At this rate they might send the club back to the WAFL

We haven't had that line up this year. So it will be a change in that sense

 

[Westend]

Going forward a fit spine of Barrass Gov Nicnat (if not traded) maybe jackson ??Allen Darling is not that bad

Develop Edwards as a key back Jameison as a ruck ..switch B Williams to a forward only and keep developing Dixon....thats your bigger players

Get a midfield of Kelly Yeo Culley Chesser Sheed West Clark edwards and a young mid in the draft ...shuey/gaff back up

Retire/delist/trade Redden nelson Waterman Hurn JK

 

[Marlin01]

If you take the youngest 22 players on the Eagles list and make a team out of them, this is what you get:

Witherden H. Edwards Rotham
Jones Bazzo Foley
L. Edwards Hough Culley
Petruccelle Allen Naish
Dixon J Williams Winder
Jamieson Chesser O’Neil
Williams Trew Joyce West

That’s a pretty balanced team, putting us in a great position to choose best available at this National Draft.

This is the only way forward I feel.

Base every game around this and fill the gaps of youngsters that cant play with fill ins/older guys

Let them all come through together.

It will be a hell of a lot more exciting/interesting
