Any news how Mr Dawson has got the mighty Royals traveling during the preseason?
From what I have seen and been told he has them concentrating on their structure in the midfield, he has got them a bit heavier as he believed they were being pushed off the ball too easily, Smith and Johnson excluded, Smith looks very trim compared to last year and generally rather than peaking in pre season like ernest borgnine had them they will peak when they are supposed to in a 22 game season.
generally feeling, despite what others will put forward is very positive and looking forward to this an the following seasons.
Where do you think Cripps will play Grump for EP?..if he ever does play for EP…I really rate the kid and reckon he would slot in nicely off a wing for WCE in the AFL.
According to the worst he has been training in the mids and if that is so then EP will probably play him there, not having seen him outside of colts not sure how good or average he is,
I suspect he will play for us more than you suspect to begin with, who will he displace in the current line up, not doubting your opinion but …
A far better side with Cripps and a few other WCE playing in it. Smith is the key but told he is sore.
Wasn’t sore in the scratch matches he has played, halves I think, he was looking fitter tha when he arrived last year, but then most others will know more!
Who is really coaching East Perth, Dawson or is it Narlke and Hickmott
Dawson seems to have control with the others doing what assistants do, taking drills and skills sessions,
can’t be narlke no such person ever played footy in w.a. or ever coached as far as i know.
WTF
WTF
if you make an inane comment at least spell his name correctly.
this forum is not a spelling B comp
Spelling or ‘facts’ unimportant on here mate!
i’ve noticed facts are unimportant.as they used to say on dragnet just the facts.
LOL :lol: turn it up Grump ..as George alluded to Narkle & Hickmott both WEST COAST EAGLES EMPLOYEES are running the show down there & you know it!!
obviously you know more than I do, so I will accept your version of the machinations at EP in the coaching department, I just replied with what I had seen on Thursday and on the nights I stop by to pick materials for Colts training.
interesting that a large number of WCE players attended the corporate auction last night, wellingham in a moon boot looked dodgy but you will make what you will from that little bit of information …
I was trying to be subtle, The word going around that NARKLE & Hickmott are the real coaches at East Perth and Dawson is just in the back ground. And as Beasley Hutton said, they are WEST COAST EAGLES EMPLOYEES. So what happen to 2014 than, But we all knew this would happen.
i feel a bit for grump. he appears to be subject to a barrage and all he is doing is trying to play a straight bat in difficult circumstances. what has happened at eastperth is not our doing. we are just stuck with a sour taste and have to deal with it somehow. i have shown my distaste but that is me. it still hurts everytime i say a negative about my royals, but im angry with our sell out and so are my whole family.
but grump still has every right to be a royal. i ask everyone to put yourselves in our shoes and confidently say how you would deal with it. the way i deal with it or the way grump deals with it, is not right or wrong. its not as easy as many of you think. i feel grumps way of dealing with it is by just commenting on exactly what is going on. what else can the man do. i agree to disagree on certain things but i respect his opinion and stance. like i said it is not as easy or cut and dried as everyone seems to think. i ask you all to really put yourselves as passionate club people, in the shoes of an ep supporter and say you would cut your club free completely. you may, but it will hurt like hell im telling you.
