McQueen

The site article says he will debut! Couldn’t be a media stuff up. Then again.

Good on ya Tom. Muck rake your supported club on national tv. Theres 17 others you can have a crack at too ya know?

Rumour he’s no longer interested in footy and will focus on beef cattle production in Japan.

Hogan kicks goals from 40 metres easily. He kicks them from 50 metres too but some people expect him to kick much further to be more effective it seems. If his role was to regularly kick from the 50m line it might become an issue. But it isn’t and won’t. He’s got 8 goals on the board from 2 games so it’s a non-issue for most people.

As Goodwin stated earlier this year, the Hogan going back to WA/trade talk is inevitable and will pop up in one way or another every single year.

I just can’t fathom why some people even bother to post such disruptive comments following a win. What are you looking to achieve?

Can I ask you why you’d bother to even raise such an item in round 2 of the following season?

Wow! he was our best player. Open your fuggin eyes!!

Very good point.

It’s not completely puzzling given the depth in the midfield brigade right now. However, not even getting listed as an emergency?

Obvious? What? Pedersen is in his twilight years. Of course the coaching staff are going to train and trial Weideman as a second ruck. I can tell you now he won’t be a dominant and permanent forward. Can he be an improvement on King and Flipper with some decent forward craft as well as being tall enough to give a ruck chop-out? Absolutely. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s moved on at the end of this year.

Tim Smith.

No.

Misson injury report video up on the club site/app. Essentially, after Viney tipping Tmac to be good for round 1, we only have Vanders, McKenna and Viney as the only not available players. That’s bloody good.

I can remember when Mitch Clark kicked 6 goals in a practice game for Geelong after he left the Dee’s. I know this holds no real relevance to Watts but who cares. Clearly it’s something to marvel in for some people.

From media I’ve read about Fritsch, it sounds as though he’s got a great field kick and rarely misses a target. Unfortunately for Hannan, this is an area he needs to improve upon. Too many missed short-range targets last year might give Fritsch an advantage depending on the role they’re given. Both know how to snag a goal that’s for certain.

That’s handy for them. I know that my Port supporting mates get right behind the Magpies when the AFL side is traveling poorly.

Yeah mate, I had to pick a WAFL side when I moved here and through contacts I ended up following the ducks but I wouldn't say I'm an avid follower. I've played against the 'newsreader' Rick Ardon on a few occasions in Masters footy over the years.. He's a dirty sniping mofo.

You watch a heap more WAFL footy than me PSD so I respect your opinion but I still think anyone who can kick more than seventy goals and take screamers at this level is worthy of good hard look. Re ch7, I think I caught a snippet of big nose pumping his tyres up a couple nights ago.

I only watched him once this year when they played Swan Districts and he had very little impact. Speak with any Eagles supporters over here and they’re wetting their pants over him. Personally, I think for a bloke who can take marks and kick goals against Peel who had 16 listed Dockers playing for them deserves the benefit of everyone’s doubt at this stage. I noticed the AFL article mentions we've shown interest so at the very least I’ll be taking a keen interest on where he falls. I still think the Eagles will select him at 26 which might be good for him because I reckon the ‘go home factor’ will be strong with this fella if he has to move East.

Well if that’s the case he’ll earn plenty of free kicks from oppo blocking his attempts. I think we’re crying out for a small forward who can drag in a screamer. But regardless, he’s one of the reasons WCE have loaded up on mid range picks this year.

Walker is really only damaging his own reputation by persisting with this line of trash talking his ex-teammates. To have gone thru the Phil Walsh tragedy showing some real leadership and camaraderie to this, being a bitter and vindictive Club captain surely can’t be enamouring himself to his other teammates. Seems like a bit of a boys club over at the Crows where it’s okay for Dangerfield and probably Sloane to leave next year, escaping any criticism.

I’m reasonably confident that the young kids we’ve already got can continue to develop.
