Re: Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade happy to wait on deal

I would say delisted and traded players score points against you only if the trade fails from your side or a delisted player flourishes after leaving.

That's probably fair enough, but then Everitt, Hill and Stack shouldn't be included either as they haven't been shown to be any better under a different coach themselves.

The list was "players who have flourished under Eade who were treading water under Wallace and Rhode", there are plenty of forgotten names no longer with the club who do not fit into this category.

Just working from memory I can only recall Farren Ray as being a regular at a new club, and he went to get regular games, because of the depth in competition for spots that he could play. He would not have made a difference is he had stayed at the Dogs and the player we have is likely to make a much bigger impact (Liam Jones).

He definitely improved at the Saints. He cut us to shreds one day at the dome in a near BOG performance, with 30 touches from half back. Jones could become a better player, but that relates more to trading and list management than Eade's ability to get the most out of certain player types.

We also traded out McMahon and picked up Callan Ward.

Very happy with the list management under Eade.

As am I, I just thought only listing 3 players that haven't improved under Eade was a little imbalanced. I do think he has trouble with the laid back types.
