Any News about West Coast?

Hunter not coming back. I've always loved him, although he probably represents the issues that plagued our premiership team. The story of him swallow a goldfish after celebrations is gold.

I loved him for DT too (good player to watch live as well). Great backline choice, as he regularly ran forward, kicked goals etc.

Too expensive this year I thought, and then injured :-[

Is it the injury that's finished him?

Yeah, he easily fits into this team if still fit. At 28 its pretty disappointing that his shoulder wont allow him to play on.

Nic-nat to star next year

NicNat will dominate the lesser ruckmen next year (Hawks, Geelong etc), I think against other good rucks Cox will shoulder more of the ruck work.

anyone know his height? (wanting to know, but also want to keep the board active)

west · September 01, 2009, 11:13:43 AM

Fanfooty has him listed at 200cm, that sounds about right to me...

What do people think the 2010 team will look like? What positions would you change?

Butler - Glass - M.Brown
Hurn - McKenzie - Waters
Rosa - Priddis - Swift
Embley - Kennedy - A.Selwood
Q.Stick - McKinley - LeCras
Cox - Kerr - Masten
NatPooey - Pick 7 - Ebert - Spannger

Very competitive considering that team leaves out a few youngsters with promise; Scott Selwood, Jamie McNamara, Patrick McGinnity, Cockie, Shuey.

Also think its over for the following; Staker, Brett Jones, Stenglein.

Gotta say I liked Sam Butler down back at the end of the year.

Prospector_1 · September 01, 2009, 11:21:42 AM

Over for Adam Hunter too? M. Brown to spend some time forward as well? Cox to continue you reckon? ... and Kerr to stay at wce?

Continue what? Your not talking about retirement are you?

Hunter is gone and it looks like Wirra will do the same.

Mitch Brown doesn't really have a spot up forward with the bigs Kennedy, Lynch, McKinley (Although McKinley is only 6 foot). Brown will most likely be a career Adam Hunter, up forward pinch hitter, although he is yet to show an ability to take a pack mark so I'm not sure he'll be up forward if the team is at full strength.

ive heard waters still cant straiten his arm and i think there are huge question marks around his future bret jones is quality and will return to form and i see scotty selwood in our best 18 for sure he will be like a bigger stronger adam.

Ex-Crows player. Finished his career of well in WA.
He seems to have been around forever now.
The Fat liked him when playing for Adelaide, what's the opinion of him in WA.
