hold pick 3.
hold pick 13 (or whatever Hawthorn’s is).
pick 23 can be floated around.
our number one priority is to build up our list again and hit the draft hard.
i personally think liam baker will be good for us but i would not be offering pick 13. 23 would be my best deal.
Huge ups to Elliot Yeo here. I know I’ve mentioned it before but it was so good seeing him giving some words to Harley. Obviously we don’t know what he was saying but clearly trying to help him out emotionally/mentally. 💙💛

Seeing a bit more of the vision from the derby. (Mostly on 360)
The Dockers initiate almost every fight with Harley, so why were they boo’ing him for fighting back????????
watching McQualter’s press conference has given me so much faith
@WestCoastEagles
💙💛
Seems like the right guy, good ideas, fresh perspective, relationship builder and charismatic 🦅
this has got to say something about our culture. he got overlooked for the top job yet is still keen to stay on within the club. Onya schoey, what a club 💙💛
West Coast's interim head coach Jarrad Schofield will return to the Eagles' coaching panel for 2025 under new senior coach Andrew McQualter.
Inside Trading 👉
imagine we trade Barrass to carlton for 12+14 in return, and then perhaps split pick 3 for 7+8 from st kilda.
7, 8, 12, 14 would go alright.
Otherwise hang on to 3 and have 3, 12, 14.
realistically probably won’t happen but a boy can dream 🫠
Massive tick for Jarrad Schofield.
Brought fresh tactics, burning passion and bold calls. Exactly what we needed.
Consistently provide efforts like that for the remainder of the year and we must strongly consider him imo.
Gives me Sam Mitchell/Adam Kingsley type vibes. 💙💛

Tim Kelly is a watch the next 12 months.
The

mid is out of contract at the end of 2025 - no deal on the table beyond.
Kelly's preference is to stay - but would consider options. Enquires have been made by multiple interstate clubs.
Kelly's management spoke
i hope we don’t boo Barrass. really likeable guy and it’s ultimately the best thing for everyone.
Not saying cheer the bloke but shouldn’t hold it against him. 💙💛
Not much movement on the Tom Barrass trade.
@WestCoastEagles
want at least a future 2nd attached ( along with Pick 14).
@HawthornFC
aren’t putting that on the table at this stage.
Some discussion about picks at the back end, but a while to go on this one.

sounds like Pyke is wanting to get back in to the top 10 with the Barrass trade and then another pick later on.
if he pulls off getting back into the top 10, i will retract everything I’ve said.
2022: GWS depart with coach mid year, finish 16th, Swans smashed in GF
2023: GWS appoint first time senior coach, reach a Prelim
2024: WCE depart with coach mid year, finish 16th, Swans smashed in GF
2025: WCE appoint first time senior coach… 👀👀👀
the thing is.
Liam Baker is actually a quality player, but the circumstances in which he has arrived at the club have been all-time shithouse.
i have no doubt he’ll be great for us, but our list management team should be investigated by national security for their decisions.
Cox out.
Carr out.
Hinkley and Buckley would be up there now. But I’d love us to do an Adam Simpson 2.0, someone who is rarely spoken about + NOT connected to club.
so McQualter’s resume is quite impressive.
Worked heaps during Richmond dynasty and built really good relationships with players.
don’t get me wrong,
I’m satisfied with the appointment and have faith we got it right. The biggest thing is, will he bring the hard edge? 🦅💙💛
Are ya joking.
Brady Hough, Ryan Maric and Harry Barnett all went to my primary school today for the kids 🤣🤣😭😭
Coulda done it a few years back while I was there 🥲 Nevertheless love ya work
@WestCoastEagles
Why is my timeline just flooded with negativity about us, mostly from our fans????
We played absolutely atrocious. Blind freddy can see that.
but there’s a line we need to draw,this is our team and we have to get around them. It’s a developing side and this is going to happen
Tom Barrass is poised to depart
@WestCoastEagles
, set to join Hawthorn on a five-year deal.
The premiership player flirted with a Sydney move last year and was also in talks with the Bulldogs thi syear.
Barrass is contracted until 2027.
@9NewsPerth
@FootyonNine
👇👇👇 interesting - door open for Freo to swoop in on Baker with pick 10… Hawks don’t have a first rounder for Barrass now
Hawks it’s believed offered Eagles 14 and a second rounder for TB… West Coast wanted 2 x first rounders
There's been significant movement in recent days between the

and Elliot Yeo.
Yeo now set to remain at WC on a 3-year deal.
No signature yet, but the Eagles have come to the table, after significant offers from multiple clubs.
Yeo's preference was always to
Simmo on Talking Footy actually has me almost tearing up!
Looks so relaxed and was full of persona!
And the way he still says us, we and our talking about the boys 🥲
We may have all wanted him out, but that doesn’t mean we don’t adore the guy!
Gonna miss him 💙💛

@WestCoastEagles
deadline day predictions
-Barrass for a F1 & F2 (most likely outcome)
-reckon Dev joins last minute for a F3
-split 26 some way (we must get one above)
-trade in pick 11 via RICH for one of the 26 split and Hawks’ F2
if we do most of this I’ll be content ✅
“Adam Simpson has decided to depart the role immediately, with assistant coach Jarrad Schofield to take over for the rest of the season on an interim basis.
Simpson will, however, attend Sunday's game and acknowledge the club's supporters after 11 years at the helm.”
the only way this can be saved is if hawthorn find a way to trade in a top 8 pick to then on-trade to use for Barrass.
say it’s one of the Saints 7/8. 7/8 and 12 to use in the draft isn’t as bad as 12. but this is horrific and i’m running out of words to describe

We’ve clearly improved in these areas. It’s just the terrible i50 Conversion that we’ve had and just general ball skills letting us down 😤
I can see us going only upwards
Another(!) injury issue at Punt Road, confirming Jacob Bauer was pulled from the VFL match with a quad injury, having missed most of this year with a hamstring.
Just Koschitzke, Ryan and Kaleb Smith left standing outside of the 23 who played v Brisbane.
Watched that last quarter again 🤤
So many enormous efforts. Tim Kelly played one of his best quarters of the season and Gov was absolutely enormous after a lesser start to the game.
emotional day. emotional year.
up and down to say the least. some brilliant wins, some horrible losses! farewelled simmo as a new era begins!
FINISH WITH SOME FIGHT BOYS 💙💛💙💛
Reckon we’ll get a debutant this week.
Ive been to 2 games live this season so far and both have had a debut
(Harvey johnston rd8 v Bombers and Hutchy rd 13 v NM)
Off to the derby as well so
Feeling like Archer Reid might get a gig.🫡
OH YES WE DID 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Repeat after me
UP THE EAGLES 💙💛🦅
Brilliant 4 quarter performance!!
Clearance/stoppage work absolutely enormous, Harley and Yeo take a fkn boW!!!!
