And people say Gaff has no right boot.

Don't mind the Gaff in, he's earned a recall through the WAFL. But Sheed staying in? He neither earned selection in the first place nor has deserved to keep his spot. Its good ole credits in the bank.

Food stamps to help with costs of living.

Pyke credited with 2015 and Mitchell with 2018. Got it.

Adelaide in: Yeo + pick 4 Eagles in: pick 6 + 25 (likely 35+ after academy, F/S & FA compo) Yeah nah

Ask him what it's like commentating WCE games alongside Pav, who only ever has negative input into anything Eagles. Listening to games it feels like Schoey is increasingly starting to struggle to bite his tongue.

I once made a positive remark on Facebook about Waterman's selection. Got a thumbs up from a couple of Waterman's. No doubt they were immediate family members. So I can claim to have always been on the G-trains bandwagon.

Gotta give Simpson credit for once again reinventing the team. He's the man behind the Eagles-web in 2015, the trend bending premiership winning chip-mark style of 2018, and now a new style emerging in 2024 that is seeing us win games when everyone was tipping us going winless this year.

Positive: Harley Reid continues to impress. Waterman is genuinely the best forward running around on current form. Gov reminding us just how incredible he is. The OG and the greatest intercept defender. Defence day was made easy by the pressure further up the ground. Welcome change from the...

What an incredible game. Some huge individual performances, but the team effort is what really stood out. Everyone played their role.

The Gaff pile on seems over the top. After being dropped last year he came back into our best 22 and finished the season really strong. If he's our best performed in the WAFL, and there's an opening, he should get selected. Credits in the bank selection made senior players complacent. Gifting...

Reading the WAFL thread, the cupboard seems very bare. Hoping to see a Hall or Dewar debut, give them a taste. Maybe Trew rewarded on prior WAFL form. For all of Collingwood's outs, i think Yeo and Waterman out is going to hurt us a lot more.

Thought Chesser played well, had some really good touches and looked like he could football. Honestly surprised he only had the 12 touches, felt like he was in a lot more contests than that.

Sheed, lol.

Watching him play last week made me wonder if the finger pointing is at the point of being an involuntary action, like a tic. Just does it without even realising.

We've dropped our heads, playing without any energy at all. This could really blow out from here.

Umps are so whistle happy today.

JWilliams looks like he's playing in slo-mo.

Such insider knowledge you know selection decisions before even the MC does :moustache:

For the WAFL watchers, is there any reason Trew isn't getting a look in? Stats wise seems to be in our best every week.

And we can forever have the moral high ground on the topic, having deliberately not gone cap in hand to the AFL.

Was at his debut game and it was instantly obvious he was something special. Very much like what we are seeing with Reid now.

Good effort so far. We always get blown away in 2nd quarters, fingers crossed with the breeze we can stay in the contest.

A month of solid football? We're looking like we won't win a game this year, not sure making the bar so high for him to get a game is necessary when we have so many spuds in the seniors not performing.

Not sure I agree. He's a country boy and I think Perth as a city will suit him more than Melbourne. I live in Melb, but despite some bias, it's no longer a good place to live. Traffic, crime, crowding, etc just makes it unpleasant to live here.

Was looking forward to this week's thread so I could see the Reid highlights. Thank you.

Totally disagree. He got better as the year went on in 2023 and played extremely well as our ruck. Was timing his jumps in the ruck, following up at ground level when the ball hit the deck, and was actually marking very well too. Yesterday as a forward he looked like his pre-2023 self, but when...

Positives: Reid showing hype was justified. Playing well in the midfield, not hidden away on a flank like a lot of kids are, and looking every bit a senior player. Ginbey came into the game when he stopped hunting the player and started hunting the ball. Some of the ball movement through the...

That's because those taking the kickins are still living in 2018 when that worked. At least the instances of "kick it long to the right" has reduced somewhat.

Duggan is a terrible footballer. Would it hurt our culture if we tried trading away our captain at seasons end?
