Fantastic. It's started already and it's still July!

Since you mentioned it, here's a bit of WAFL watch.

Daniel Rich had only 9 touches (4 kicks and 5 handballs), 1 mark and kicked a goal in Subiaco's big win at the weekend. In another game, Swan Districts had at least four major draft hopefuls in their team including Nick Naitanui whose states of 4 kicks, 9 handballs, 1 mark and 10 hit outs were nothing special. Chris Yarran had 9 kicks, 4 handballs 2 marks and a goal while Neville Jetta got 13 disposals (7 kicks) and 3 marks. The best of them statistically was Clancee Pearce with 13 kicks 10 hanballs 6 marks and 2 goals.

Time to have another look at Pearce's performance for WA in the Under 18 final match. His stocks could be rising.

Pearce was a good performer in the telstradome game who took the notice of my comrade as well as hill & walters, however I believe it's not just about how the're performing at the state carnival nor at their respective clubs, thats why we have the canberra athletic screening.

The recruiters allready know who is a footballer & who isn't naturally & needs to be taught. The blank canvass is a huge part of the equation as to which players are most likely to cope well against the cut 'n' thrust of AFL.

Naitanui = athletic prowess. Rich = football smart, - ?? Watts = athletic, good footballer, ???

There are reasons why players stand out in the crowd, but doesn't necessarily mean they'll make it.

If sidebottom fell to our 3rd pick, I'd be thrilled.

what would you call him when he got the ball? he'd be hard to cheer for...

At least when he got dropped you could just say he'd been given the arse

Sorry, i am ashamed

Yeah... whatever team picks him up can get used to this... Like the Dicks and Goldsacks...

am i the only one who doesn't rate rich and hopes we dont use our first pick on him!!?

yes

am i the only one who doesn't rate rich and hopes we dont use our first pick on him!!?

Yes and no dazzler...

I do rate Rich, but I rate Watts and to a lesser extent Naita as well. But I hope we take Watts over him...

Don't worry about Rich's form in the WAFL,he's tanking so WCE pick him up.

yeh that makes perfect sense even though West Coast are a monty for the wooden spoon

am i the only one who doesn't rate rich and hopes we dont use our first pick on him!!?

'dazzledavey36', I rate niknat as well but will be a project player for at least 1.5 - 2.5 years before being able to take advantage of his talents on a regular basis. That is why i've put him at 5 to the dons who allredy have a top ruckman & are rebuilding an allready 1/2 built young list. They I think are in the Ideal position for nat. They have had recent success so the pundits will be patient with a player like nat who I think won't be ready to go seniors for a little while.

So in saying all that I put him just behind the ready to go group of Rich, Hartlett, Ziebell & probably Watts, (watts may need a little while as he's bottom age but talented & probably could do with some physical work on his body to harden up.

Ironcheeks?

No, In fact they arent.

West Coast still have the ability to beat teams at Subi.

Not if they keep sending in players to have operations like they have been

Thats true.

To be honest, I want them to win.

I want us to take Rich in the draft.

there is not a chance in hell west coast will win another game for the season. i think we will beat them by 10 goals

there is not a chance in hell west coast will win another game for the season. i think we will beat them by 10 goals

lets hope they lose to freo this week pushing freo out of priority pick contention.

They can win after that.

there is not a chance in hell west coast will win another game for the season. i think we will beat them by 10 goals

Oh dear! It happened again.

Hell must be full of chances......

am i the only one who doesn't rate rich and hopes we dont use our first pick on him!!?

No, I share your sentiment!

He's our man!
