@Shakey___ I wouldn’t say I really even trust our ruck stocks, I just don’t think May’s the answer or at least not worth picking over Herbert.
English
@Fisherking79 @AJG_87 Took Eagles 3 years to take Murdock and he’s clearly good enough. Drafting isn’t an exact science.
English
@Snrubthoughts @AJG_87 I think 2 selections is enough. There’s not much out there at the moment that moves the needle. Of course it’s worth looking at players but I’m not seeing much that excites me personally
English
@Fisherking79 @AJG_87 Eagles have proven their talent ID is poor so they need to take as many swings as possible.
English
@Fisherking79 @AJG_87 Are you sure about that? From what I’m aware very few nominate for 18 month signings. It’s just madness to not pull every lever at your disposal. There’s absolutely no harm having someone there for 6 months - at worst they make the wafl side better.
English
These are the OOC decisions I’d be making at the moment. I reckon can only keep one of Long/Newton.
Maric gets last chance to prove his defensive side. Liked what I’ve seen from HJ. Baz (lol) & Milan probably most important, followed by Elijah.
Bazzo is a solid stopgap imo.

📝🦅 04.05.2026 Bringing this back out and this is how we sit. Milan could be 2027, maybe Dev too but FootyWire says ‘26. - Long list of uncontracted players into 2026, expecting one more big cull. - Ginbey & Hewett both rumoured to have 5 on the table.

The Caleb May rumours are interesting. A month ago, the idea of adding ruck depth was a no brainer.
Now, after two genuinely elite weeks (lol?) from Bailey Williams, it doesn’t feel like as much of a need, especially when we’ve seen the plug and play benefit of Murdock/McCarthy.

"That's DUMB by Ginbey."
A free kick reversed gifts Nick Daicos his second goal.

@Fisherking79 @EaglenationPod Not true. There a ton of players who nominate 6 month contracts - eg Newton.
Regardless, there are plenty from WA who would be worth a look on 6 months deals.
Eagles aren’t in a position that they don’t pull every lever possible.
English
@Snrubthoughts @EaglenationPod Club don’t want to commit to players unnecessarily and no one is coming to Perth on a 6 month. They’d nominate 18month. Counterproductive taking 3 in mid season draft.
English
Mid Season draft is next Tuesday. West Coast will have 2 picks at this stage.
If we can pick 2 of 3 Voss, Bell or May we will be happy.
Who are your predictions?

@Richmond_TT Is he more of a shutdown key or interceptor / creative?
English
Fingers crossed for Mutaz! He’d be a huge loss to our VFL team but he’s earned a shot.

Richmond defender Mutaz El Nour has courted interest from West Coast ahead of next Tuesday’s Mid-Season Draft. He’ll nominate later this week, while Sam Toner has nominated after both Tigers VFL boys were absent from the initial list. Few MSD tidbits ⬇️ zerohanger.com/richmond-vfl-p…

High praise from Cal Wilkie shortly after this chat: “Charlie Banfield is the most impressive kid I’ve ever seen come into the system.”
Banfield mentions the McLachlans… Gil and co were his host family after arriving from Perth. Now he’s with Mason Wood alongside Alix Tauru and Alex Dodson. @7AFL @1116sen

@Dylfollowsdraft @FelixWinderlich How do you both view Harris compared to Thredgold? I know he came on late so it’s a little tough…
English
@Snrubthoughts @FelixWinderlich It’s a key defender’s draft
English
Some HUGE performances in SA18s win over SA20s today.
Mitch Harris was named best on ground, a genuine brick wall down back.
Jack Leys was roaming up and down the wing all day.
Kodah Edwards was awesome in the guts.
Lincoln Pitt, Jake Eime and Cain Florence all impressed.
English
Dropped this for Tom Cole and we’re also still wasting Bo in the backline in the WAFL
Why are we hellbent on turning just about every player into a half back?

McQualter saw this; A hybrid player with speed to burn and a nice peg on him and thought, “He belongs in the WAFL.
