Positives: McGovern and Lycett. Nic Nat getting through un-injured. Our gameplan/style has changed and improved dramatically.
Negatives: Midfield depth, didn't beat a top 8 side.

Trade- Seriously need 1-2 quality Mids to help out Priddis and Shuey. Having a look at our list, the only one with any sort of value that we haven't recently resigned is Mitch Brown. Plenty of sides under us who need a big key defender. He's still young, and with Mcgovern standing up, I would be prepared to trade for a top round pick or quality young mid.


Move Yeo to the midfield and target 1/2 quality mids. Midfield skill and speed are essential for us to take the next step and as a good a year as Priddis had he is not the answer being the number one midfielder.


Yeo eventually will move in there once he gets a few more games under his belt. We desperately need some Mids who can kick,. Priddis is excellent, but he ends up on the final possession way to often. Shuey I thought really stood up in the last 8 rounds and should be taking the number 1 mid spot next year.

Great work by Matty Priddis last night, he gets splits WCE fans down the middle but he was consistent and works his arse off for this footy club.

Also good to see Beau Waters collect the Jim Stynes award for his community work.

Yeah huge effort by Beau and the WCE- over $1m raised for the WA cancer council? Brilliant stuff and very deserved winner.

Yeah midfielder.

His stock probably dropped a bit this year so hopefully get him for a third rounder

Congratulations to Eric McKenzie, who last night was crowned the 2014 John Worsfold medallist.

McKenzie polled 201 votes, to finish 11 ahead of the 2014 Brownlow medallist- Matt Priddis.

Very well deserved for Emac, thought he should have won it last year.

Second went to Priddis, Third to Schuey, 4th to Gaff and Darling rounded out the top 5
