Seems like it.
By rights,half the team could get Drafted,but how many in a Team on the Exact Same Page have nominated?
Not many I reckon.
They’ll wait until November.Smart chaps!
I think we’ve got another case here of early ripe early rotten,and the Tigers will come back to the field at the business end of the year.

I’ve heard the talk at East Perth,where they reckon they have Claremont COVERED!
Let’s see how that pans out this year!
Might need a repeat act to put the wind up 'em,mind you.
If Claremont are playing Peel in the Grand Final,I’ll get right behind them!
So according to you,optimistic Royal fans should’ve anticipated that nine 2025 GF players would be unavailable at one time during the course of the season??
Well already the AFL Clubs have a mountain of Injuries bigger than Everest.
Have you politely requested your prospective Draftees to just hang on to November?
They don’t want to risk playing for West Coast Reserves do they?
I’m pretty sure Old D,the subject matter we’re discussing here is WAFL.
Yeah.
And what has the potential to DERAIL A WAFL Club’s Season,with B*gger All in return?
The msd!
Nine injured GF players will de rail your season quicker than a token MSD pick,which no one would argue is popular with any second tier state league club in the country.
Certainly doesn’t help.
But that’s a situation our Clubs can try and turn around,whilst they’re Our Players.
They get picked up in May,…sh*t!Goodbye,nice to have you for a month or so!
Claremont are playing well as a unit no doubt but they have only had to make 1 change (only used 24 players) in the first 6 games as they have no injuries to any of their best 25, they have even had the luxury of naming 3 ex afl listed players as emergencies each week.
Compare that to the likes of SD, EF, EP, WP, SU etc who all have long injury lists and most of them to their best 23 team!

Yeah they looked good on a nice fast track playing bruise free footy, unfortunately we didn’t pressure them enough although when we did we managed to turn the ball over, finals are a different kettle of fish.

Dogs kicked 1.8 in the last quarter against CM.
and its round 6.
Yeah,they did dodge a bullet there.
But did they pressure South to miss that often with the game up for grabs,or did South just get careless with their Goalfront accuracy?
Missed some sitters, ruckman hobbled off late in the 3rd to not reappear and we hit the post 5 times. And Parker was pulled out of the game during the warm up and we had to play a ressies bloke who had just played.

So in other words,Claremont just got Lucky?
Watch out for next time,……
East Perth have been the bane of the Tigers recently,particularly in last year’s Finals Series.
But given the Tigers are planning a Big 100th Birthday Event this Saturday AND Season,Surely NOT this time?!
For Tigers Supporters of Eagles loyalties,DROP EVERYTHING and get to Claremont Oval.
Never mind the Pendlebury party.A Football Club doesn’t turn 100 everyday and has been around about 80 years more than he,with all due respect to Scottie.Watch a replay of that on Sunday and the rest of the week.
Get down to Tigerland on Davies Rd and Celebrate YOUR CLUB!
And much as you given us Demons plenty of pain in the past 47 or so years,there is plenty for you guys to Celebrate!

So Perth ruck Edward’s is on the radar for MSD selection…..not what the Perth boys would want to hear…..always hard to lose your number 1 ruck mid season…..Blakiston and Teakle going certainly didn’t help EF seasons…so I can certainly emphasize with the Perth boys if Edward’s does get the nod…..and Eastland from Cl gets overlooked…..again.
Is this iin the right section,Freeze?
PS - Quickly,…I hope he’s on the Radar to play AFL and not just sit in the Reserves,just in case.
Or WORSE,get played out of position by Brad Scott.
He’s better off waiting until November.
So is anyone,even allowing for the Milan Murdock factor!
Eastland is not a ruck at AFL level - Brilliant at WAFL level but not the height or athleticism for the next level. Have heard Kalin Lane who has come back from Brisbane has returned to play country footy - Tiges lack Ruck depth now if Eastland gets injured
Mate everyone is fair game in the MSD….just merely highlighted that Cl progress is just as vulnerable as anyone else’s due to the MSD
