Re: Sam Gilbert

His last game was good and he is the type of guy who gives 100% if he is not AFL standard 2019 I’m not sure who is There are over 300 players I could name who are more 'AFL standard' than Gilbert.

Re: If StKilda drafted Degoey

All missing the point DeGoey gets drafted by StKilda has the off field issues he has had he’d have been sacked. The outside pressure from media and the AFL would have made it impossible for us to keep him. Another piece of curly " what if" hypothetical speculation not connected to reality...

Also, Phillips averaged about 20 touches in his first season of senior football......not bad, eh? Dunstan and sinclair are still struggling to average 20 a game. He only played 7 games.

Re: Big picture - small fry

No s*** sherlock. Of course we are small fry. We are the most irrelevant club in the comp besides the Suns. The AFL doesnt give a s*** about us. Has been like this for 100 years. We are minnows.

Re: 3 players in debut seasons for WCE premiership side

Its actually easier for a first year player to perform better in a top 8 side, especially a top 4 and GF side. He already has the better players, mature and harder bodies around him that can play 120 mins of football. Clark, Coffield and Claravino will end up having better careers in the end compar...

Gaff is coping it in the media. Very selfish. Glad he’s not coming to us. Yes. We want all our boys to have the personality of the Dalai Lama.

Re: 3 players in debut seasons for WCE premiership side

Venables had 3 touches, Ryan shirked some critical contests and Rioli was a bit part player. If Gaff and Shepherd were available, two of those three would not have played, most likely. Nothing wrong with Clark's season, and Coffield will be a star. How can you go backwards in your first season? As ...

Re: Coach in waiting 2020??

The Cho is coaching in 2019 for one reason only.

So Matt Finnnis can save face.

They will be hoping like hell for a miracle and chasing Longmire, Clarkson or a Scott brother.

If not it will be from Caracella, Burns, Longmuir, Mitchell etc

Irrelevant. We didn't. He wouldn't be the player he is now as he wouldn't have the support if with us. Collingwoods list is better than hours and by a long way. Their forward set up is better than ours. And their midfield is one of the best in the league with pendelbury, Adams, treloar and the best...

Get Mitchell now as the senior coach. It'll be a big signing all the way. Mitchell was critical for Eagles winning. Has some merit. Richo is a mindless copycat who has been trying to copy the Bulldogs and Tigers 'pressure game'. Not very well. Eagles stuck to their guns and played the Hawks style k...

Steele Membrey and Roberton we got at 20 or 21. Of course they are better at 22,23,25. Plus it's a team game. Simpson is batting at 64% wins after 5 seasons. He has one flag and one runner up.
