You seriously want McGovern gone? Blokes a gunLike I posted on WC board, the following players should be traded or delisted if nothing offered: McGovern, Gaff, Sheed, Redden, Cole, Sheppard, Nelson
Also Hurn and Kennedy to retire then next year a much younger and faster team to suit the current game.
I think that depends how you define "rebuild". I definitely expect WC to pivot towards youth and prioritise the draft but I doubt there will be any drastic clean-out.They're neither contending nor are they rebuilding as it currently stands.
They're in no mans land and the club needs to bite the bullet and regenerate the list starting this off season.
Agreed. I think the game plan and the systems are more a concern than the personnel, although there are some question marks in that area as well. That said, I'd happily add a more contested, defensive-minded midfielder for a second-rounder.I don't think they need a rebuild just yet. None of their players are cooked.
Need to move some assistant coaches on and do a reset.
Flaky AF and there's no plan B. They struggle to win ground balls and rely too heavily on moving the ball with kick-mark uncontested possession. If that doesn't work, they struggle to win the ball back because they don't have a high-pressure game and don't really tackle. They rely on the opposition turning it over. This has worked when our kick-mark game has been sharp and we've been able to score efficiently. But I think it's done its dash. They need to add further strings to the bow and become more adaptable, and that probably starts by drilling the midfield differently.Not sure if it’s time for a rebuild but something has gone wrong. 2018 was a famous premiership victory despite missing a key trio in Gaff, Naitanui and Sheppard on Grand Final day. They have been added offsetting the retirement of LeCras and absence of Rioli from a talent POV. Further, they’ve got Tim Kelly on board and Rotham and Oscar Allen have emerged as really good young players. I know injuries, older players declining a bit and hub life have hurt them a bit but it still feels like a hell of a drop off.
Doubt it. If someone uncontracted wants to leave (Duggan? Brander?) then obviously that gets done but I doubt there will be massive turnover initiated by the club.Once is an anomaly, but twice is stuff of reviews and coaches sacked, they might have a very active trade week this year?
Really? I'd say Yeo is our best/most important midfielder.the best players are all the wrong side of 30 next year
We'll have to improve dramatically to even make the 8 let alone get through to week 2.Unless the sides below us improve drastically, chance we might have this to look forward to in finals (if we get there)
Week 1:
6v7 Sydney v WCE at SCG
Week 2:
2/3v6/7 Geelong v WCE at GMHBA
Like what?Come October (or right now) start making big calls
One day, when Fremantle are in a premiership window, you'll understand.West Coast trading for Tim Kelly.
For what price? I sincerely doubt WC would entertain any trade.The Nic Nat to GoCo might work for both Clubs.
