Damian BarrettHOST
But you need to be aware of that guy wanting to go back even before he got there.
Damian BarrettHOST
And then now you've got a, a situation where a number four pick in, in Duursma wants a new home after three years at that club.
Leigh MontagnaHOST
Yeah, I, I think they need to do a review because success is all-encompassing with a football club.
Leigh MontagnaHOST
I mean, as I think Chris Scott summed it up, sometimes we put it all on the coach and say it's the coach's fault.
Peter BellHOST
Yeah, having a long s-
Tim GossageHOST
Willem Duursma?
Peter BellHOST
Maybe.
Peter BellHOST
Maybe.
Danny LaidleyGUEST
Well, Jagger Smith won the, the Rising Star last night.
Danny LaidleyGUEST
Now, um, you know, imagine Jagger Smith, Willem Duursma, and Harley Reid along with, uh, Cooper Dove-Tyrer as the first ruck.
Danny LaidleyGUEST
Now, surely that's reminiscent of Cox, Judd, Cousins, Kerr, you know, back in the early 2000s.
Danny LaidleyGUEST
And to get, uh, give up pick three to get Liam Baker, who, um, in his first year was, was pretty solid, and I think he, he really bounced into the club and was excited to come back home.
Nat EdwardsHOST
Josh, what are you-
Josh GabelichHOST
Yeah, I went Jagger Smith, Harry Dean, Willem Duursma, Cooper Trent Bath, and Job Shanahan, so just slightly different to Damo.
Josh GabelichHOST
But I can see that you have got something a little bit different.
Nat EdwardsHOST
I went controversial.
Craig O'DonoghueHOST
They've talked about wanting to win a flag by 2030.
Craig O'DonoghueHOST
If, and if, if Harley and Willem Duursma both stay long-term as well, if their midfield around 2030-ish is Harley Reid, Willem Duursma, Elijah Hewitt, and whoever they draft this year as a, as a top five pick, it's a pretty imposing sort of look in center square.
Craig O'DonoghueHOST
So that's why, um, it's important for Elijah Hewitt to get himself right, because yeah, I love the way he plays and that is gonna, will help to set them up for a real crack at it into the future.
Glen QuartermainHOST
Didn't mind the look of Gross late in the year too.
Shane CrawfordHOST
Uh, they, i, I think they've improved.
Shane CrawfordHOST
Uh, Bo Allen, um, Job Shenahan, Willem Duursma, Cooper Duff Tyler.
Shane CrawfordHOST
There's a lot of players that I can see being future long-term players and good players for the West Coast Eagles.
Shane CrawfordHOST
So I feel like they're on the right track, but I just feel like they've gotta add a, a few more players to the mix and maybe some seasoned players.
David KingHOST
But, uh, they believe in him.
David KingHOST
And at his best with Reed and Duursma and others through that midfield, I, I think he's a nice piece.
David KingHOST
But, uh, time's running out for Elijah Hewitt, so he needs a huge preseason.
David KingHOST
The club MVP is none other than Harley Reed.
Mitchell WoodcockHOST
Josh Lindsay, 2028.
Mitchell WoodcockHOST
Willem Duursma, 2028.
Mitchell WoodcockHOST
I'm speaking from memory here, but I believe Job Shanahan is either 2028 or 2029.
Mitchell WoodcockHOST
Th- a lo- then they're all Victoria.
Tom MitchellHOST
Like you're, whether they're like all-Australian caliber, that's give or take, but they're, they're normally a pretty consistent, you're gonna get 150 games guaranteed.
Tom MitchellHOST
Like Lawler, Duursma, they're gonna be guns.
Jack GinnivanHOST
Yeah.
Jack GinnivanHOST
He-
