Look forward to a report from someone with Foxtel -
Re: West to be On the Couch
dud interview, mostly on the part of the interviewers...
Sheehan and Walls basically dwelled for 10 minutes repeatedly and rather negatively questioning West or opining about his future, with Walls suggesting he wouldn't give West a new contract for next year, as well as insightful Dorothy Dixers from Mike such as "So, will breaking Chris Grant's club games record figure heavily as part of your motivation to play on next year?" Of course West's future deserves exploring, but they flogged it like a dead horse.
Aside from Westy's brief take on some differences at the club this year which may help account for our turn-around from last season, (an honest operations review, altered training regime, Rocket's ability to focus more on pure coaching, which has improved his relationship with the playing group), and quick pump-up for Tom Williams, it was pretty lacklustre.BORDERLINE FLYINGComment

Main points were probably
has to just let the injury heal, can't do anything more. Willing to play at Willy
said he wouldn't offer himself a contract ATM. Depends on his recovery[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment

Re: West to be On the Couch
The not offering a new contract thing is ridiculous IMO. Scotty has been, and still is, an amazing player and legend of the footy club, and I think that some people such as Walls have forgotten how good he is. He averaged the equal most disposals in the AFL last year for Christ's sake! He still sets the standard with his contested ball winning and makes a big difference when in the side.'And the Western suburbs erupt!'Comment

Re: West to be On the Couch
Could he really be a forward?
The idea that he kicked 6 blows my mind[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment

Re: West to be On the Couch
Thought the same thing, pathetic questioning really. Healy asking Walls the question and his meandering response (...'well....sentiment shouldn't come into it....' ) was almost cringe tv. Got the feeling the Grant games record question was a reference to his negative reaction to the brownlow loss, which if so is irrelevant garbage. Scott should have said 'what matters to me Mike is winning a flag, that's what I continue to play AFL for'
It really bugged me.Float Along - Fill Your LungsComment

Re: West to be On the Couch
Did anyone notice in that footage of Williams how he was about 5 meters infront of his man whenever he got the ball.
Must be quick to outrun guys like Gwilt that much[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Comment

Re: West to be On the Couch
People forget that when West started he was a goal kicker. Not saying he could do it now but I think he knows where the goals are and could snag a couple.Comment

Re: West to be On the Couch
His 4th game. R5, 1993.
20 touches, 6 goals and 3 Brownlow votes.
When he started he was so small it was like a little kid was playing. His first game was a shocker, barely got a touch. A mate of mine at the time was right into him - too small, won't go in, no chance of playing 20 games.
We still give him heaps about that.
The week after kicking 6 was the week West Coast (John Worsfold) got into him. Yet Worsfolod had a sook when we got into Gardiner and Cousins (FFS, all Liber did was call him names).Comment

Re: West to be On the Couch
Reckon you are right Ernie.
But I reckon i have found the replacement for Westy when the great man does retire.He is running around with Willy this year : Smart left footer,similar height,little quicker,
Ball magnet who loves a goal and his on our list......Guy O'Keefe!
Already racking up possies & goals in his first year.
Lets hope he is half as good as Westy & we will be laughing, could be the steal of the draft
at pick 63.Comment
