Mack Hanson becoming a cult hero in Ireland ( out of nowhere….particularly here in Australia) has pricked the interest of young talented players. I think they are looking closely at these opportunities compared with very little here …. Well done to the talent scouts ??
It would be interesting to know if anybody in the Irish setup has been in contact with either Ralston or Mc Donald .
The West today has Jeremy Williams signing and Brad Lacey not returning

I think we need somebody who can bust the line at 13.
I always considered Mataele to have hands like feet for some reason, but when you look at the stats he pulled in for us, it'd be great to see him get a bit closer to the action and go for some jet shoes outside him. so maybe Mataele or an established blockbuster that we buy in.

Possibly, but I like him at 12 and were not really deep there so I'm comfortable with him staying there.He would also make a good 15 imho, but Strachan is making quite a decent fist of that so again, not really a necessary move.One of the big issues, especially after the departures is depth. We've lost a fair few bodies all around the park and the replacements need to be competitive or preferably better than the 8ncumbents.

I would have said all the back 3 options need to spend serious time on their kicking out of hand over the next 7 months, both penalties and on the run. But especially whoever is looking at the 15 spot.
And once it has become second nature even under pressure, maybe have a look at ways to recognise and maximise the chances of success with the 50-22 kicks. It doesn't feel like anyone has genuinely explored the possibilities of that as an attacking option.
Have things changed? The last time I lived in WA was May of 1990.
So, back in the old days of the 1990's The State of Western Australia was full of current and retired Australian Rules players, Coaches and Trainers.
Have they all left the state? Got gainful employment elsewhere?
The point I am trying to make is this;
Would our players benefit from an Australian Rules player/coach with some one-on-one Coaching for Kicking Out of Hand?
At the very least it makes for some good publicity.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
A coach from Soccer maybe? Graham Arnold has a great track record with rugby ball coaching. Maybe there's others.
