LIST UPDATE – Mitch Duval & Elliot Dunkin

This week the West Adelaide Football Club lost two talented footballers. Both chose to walk away from the club that gave them their senior opportunity. I want to let the members & supporters know that both players were offered comprehensive playing contracts for 2022 but they chose not to accept them. They chose themselves over the playing group, coaches, support staff and you our loyal members and supporters.

We will move on and focus on the players that have committed to this great club and are invested in our plan which is to play finals football and build sustained success.

I want to assure you all the Football Department is working hard to develop our list, we will announce additional signings over the coming weeks and we are excited about the current and emerging talent at our club.

So too Tom Murphy and Kieran Lovell after 1 season.
Kaine Stevens and Josh Schiller both retire.

Bayman was on the money with the mass exodus!

Mitch Duval was rumoured to be picked up in AFL draft last year.

Was not the same player this year with new coach.

Going back to Unley to play under Scott Thompson?

Meanwhile, another father-son prospect in Sturt best and fairest winner Casey Voss has also had praise heaped on him by his coach.

Voss, 21, the son of new Carlton coach and Lions legend Michael Voss, was overlooked by Brisbane as a father-son prospect in 2018.

But after a superb season in the SANFL — averaging 23 disposals across half back — recruiters are eyeing Voss as a potential mature-age pickup.

“He is one of the smartest players I have ever seen play the game of footy. That is AFL, SANFL, everything,” Stuart coach Marty Mattner told the Herald Sun.

“His vision with the ball in hand and his is ability to read the play, intercept mark and rebound out of defense or go inside 50m are fantastic.

“He just knows how to find the footy, he defends really well and he is a ripping kid.”

Yes it did. W.A. peaked at the right time and deserved to win, but the Eagles haven't sat on their backsides and were motivated to do better. Good clubs respond positively.
