One of the most stupid plans of all time. Why would Tassie people want want to be putting up their hands to have six teams and officials the minute they are free of this virus. Please show the modelling that says Tassie and WA will be out of lockdown before other States.

With the recent additions of players like Langdon, Tomlinson, May, Hibberd & Melksham, I was thinking about our best (top 10) traded in or recycled players. Here’s a quick top 10 but in no order. 
 

Brett Lovett

Jeff Farmer

Brian Wilson

Jeff White

Peter Moore

Laurie Fowler

Garry Baker

Peter Rohde 

Darren Bennett

Carl Ditterich

My apologies to Stephen Icke, Alan Jarrett, Clint Bizzell, Guy Rigoni, Bernie Vince & Brent Moloney.  
 

My eligibility was min 50 games and I can only cover from 1973 onwards.  

 

 

 

Brian Wilson starred with us. Must have been a good environment at the time.

How can he be a journeyman?  He's only ever played for one club.

While it sounds simple in practice, defensive structures are now set up as a zone.  One on one football is a rarity these days, especially in the defensive area.  So a player with the ball cannot kick to space for a leading forward to run into.  There should always be a defender within range, to turn it into a contest. 

The other problem with the Eagles games was that WCE had 3 tall defenders.  We only had 2 tall forwards.  As well most teams, like them, drop the extra man in defence.  We did the same to them with Darling and Kennedy only getting a solitary goal between them.

The zone just means forwards have to work and run harder. Ours are mostly stationary, especially the smalls,  and when they do lead it is usually just in a straight line for about 10 metres. 

Peter Weekes,

I reckon he was a mid week/season signing, maybe from VFA Club, Prahran. We were being killed in the ruck by newer, taller ruckman like Len Thompson, the new ruck prototype,and I reckon Weeksey was 6.5 in the old. Not a giant but taller than blokes like Tassie Johnson who we played in the ruck for a while at about 6.2.  Weeksey battled hard but was just that, another Demon battler.

For as long as I can recall I have used an index relating to how many players short we are to being a good side. Typically it has been around six, much more in the lost years years and hovering around four in our finals years. I think we are now back to four to six based on our Eagles game.

So, Spargo delist

Hibberd,  thanks for your contribution.

ANB, gotta get past journeymen.

Jetta, find a full time role at the Club

Brown, a likely error.

Tomlinson, a handyish pick up  but not a wingman 

Keep one of the Macs, by having Oscar we fool ourselves into thinking we have the luxury of playing Tom as a permanent forward.

Brayshaw, does not suit the modern game style-look to trade.

SOME HOPE

Look to Jackson, Sparrow, Rivers and others who the track watchers see.

Must find away to get 2-3 more ready made players.

Four year wriggle room for Pert
