2023: SC Planning Thread
- Thread starter Gruffles
- Start date
Real chance pending form in preseason games & injuries. I think he will start his AFL career at half fwd with stints in midfield. When playing fwd at lower levels he has looked dangerous & has an eye for goal.
Essentially Hewett is the offensive minded mid whilst Ginbey is the more defensive minded so they compliment each other well.
Going to be an interesting watch to see which way the coaches go, personally I want a real injection of youth & speed that we obviously need.

Played out the season injured…
“I had my AC joint done but I also had some groin stuff for two thirds of the year, which got pretty bad towards the end (of the season).

THE STRIKING DIFFERENCE SIMPSON EXPECTS IN EAGLES’ ROUND 1 TEAM
BY SEB MOTTRAM 2 HOURS AGO
West Coast faces a tough ask to drag itself out of the bottom four in 2023, but Adam Simpson anticipates he’ll try do it with an almost completely revitalised side.
The Eagles have been tipped for a lengthy rebuild under Simpson given the club’s list profile and the disaster that was the 2022 season. But a minimal injury list combined with a new wave of draft prospects have Simpson predicting a new-look outfit when West Coast takes to the field against North Melbourne in Round 1 on March 18.
“It’s exciting, you chuck in (Oscar) Allen, (Tom) Cole, (Dom) Sheed, those type of players who didn’t play at all last year,” Simpson began on SEN WA Breakfast.
“The last game we played wasn’t a memorable one down in Geelong, no disrespect to those players who played in that game, we tried our best, but I reckon there’s probably 13 players or 14 players who won’t be in the Round 1 side for different reasons.
“So we’re looking at turning over the list, bringing in some kids and playing some youth and hopefully getting some senior players back that are healthy.
“It’ll be a completely different looking side, albeit we’ll still need our leaders to stand up and play well for us, that’s where it starts.”
Allen, Cole, Sheed, Jeremy McGovern, Andrew Gaff and Nic Naitanui were just six of the many Eagles who were missing from the club’s best 22 in the Round 23 game against Geelong.
The club also recruited ex-Demon Jayden Hunt in the trade period but lost Junior Rioli.
