Chander can hit the scoreboard, but needs to work on his defensive craft considerably in the off season.

He had a bit of a up and down year, but its also his first year of consistent senior football. So perhaps a dip understandable. 

In 2019 he played in the last game of the season and was a tackling beast that game.
In 2020 he was consigned to the VFL/COVID 
In 2021 he was sub for 5 games making it onto the ground once.
In 2022 he was sub 4 times making it onto the ground 3 times.

So quite a jump playing 23 games this season, plenty to build on. 3rd at the club for goal assists, 5th at the club for goals, 9th for tackles etc. Fully agree he dipped a little at times but also hard to judge the forwards when the forward line rotated as much as it did (due to injuries or what not), a lack of cohesion didn't help. 

I like both Spargo and Chandler, yes they have things to work on don't really want to fob either of them off 

But as stated above, who knows what the greater plan is for drafts/trading etc.

Fixing error, robbed him of a spot for tackles

Personally I don’t rate Chandler. Spargo offers footy smarts, something this side lacks going into 50. I’d keep both, play Spargo in the AFL and let Chandler and AMW battle it out for a spot.

I reckon there should be pressure on both their spots and I'm happy if Charlie moves on. Chandler in the VFL for mine, until he is more consistent.

Just Heard on Perth Radio Bulldogs and West Coast Desperate for our early picks if we could lure  Aaron Naughton  and Liam Ryan  imagine them with Pickett and Mc Adam boy some powerful forward line

 

I don't know much, especially according to my son, but one thing I do know reliably is not to listen to a single thing you hear on Perth Radio. Veracity = 0

Spargo and Chandler off us the same thing 

Spargo is smart enough to understand this which is why he is looking elsewhere 

No they don't. You can't see that?

I agree with this.

Players sign contracts and leave.. 

And then usually the receiving club has to pay an increased price for the trade.

Demons have something cooking… had one of the most heartwarming wry grins I’ve seen in a LONG time last night —- in response to a question about how we’re gonna fill these list spots & why were no longer in frame for pick 4 — suddenly I feel warm and fuzzy inside…

 

Lets hope it wasn’t just to perk me up a bit.. keep an eye on the headlines folks!

Presumably because we are looking to trade pick 5 for an established player?

Was thinking this the other day…

Liam Ryan would be a good get 

Putting his previous off field issues and current injury issues aside, I’m in total agreement.

Absolute pure football talent is Liam Ryan and can actually kick the prune.

However I can’t see him wanting to move and I can’t see why WC would want to move one of their rare forward talents

No I don’t see us moving on PK5, I think we still want to move UP.. but without getting into the realm of where I’m risking my job, I felt better because the insinuation was basically “if what we’re doing comes off, you’ll be left far happier than if we managed to get pk4” basically

I can’t say — as in I don’t know. But we can all hope and dream! But I walked away with knowledge that either Dees or Saints were gonna have a big big win this off-season, as that’s what I was lead to blv, but fact club are trying super hard is enough for me as I have faith if they have a plan, they’ll execute.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
