I agree with you about Clement but lets face it Craig Callaghan was just an ordinary ,but honest footballer a the best.
I think it says a bit about the WAFL level when you mention that Knotte is playing his best football ever for Swans.He was always an ordinary player at the best of times.But for him to be a star in the WAFL says nothing.
It is like Johnson the Eagles ,Melbourne discard.He is now considered the best player in the competition and the likely Sandover winner.Both players who struggled at he top level.The WAFL is littered with players who couldn't succeed at AFL level,but star at WAFL level.
A/man perhaps you should join the ongoing debate surrounding Tony Abbott I am involved in on this site. One of the prerequisites is to be totally oblivious to the facts or just ignore the facts. You seem singularly qualified on the count based on your previous post. I have never recanted on the fact that Walters, Pearce et al were from Swans. What I did point out was that at the time of their fitness problems they were, in Walters and Pearce, Freo Dockers at the time. Freo Dockers were responsible for their fitness regimes etc. For your position to be sustained you are suggesting that Swan Districts was responsible for the fitness levels of Walters and Pearce. On what basis is that true?
Exactly how many WAFL games have you seen live in the last two years?
With respect to Tony Notte it is an indictment on the Eagles' development programme.
As for your comments about Craig Callaghan they border on the ridiculous. Drum complained about the lack of hardness at the ball from his Freo players and yet would not play Craig Cllaghan, one of the hardest at the ball I have seen in my life.
No-one is deluded enough to think that the current WAFL standard comes close to the pre-Eagles' WAFL. Similarly there are a lot of footballers running around in the AFL who would be playing ressies in the VFL competition pre-Eagles' era.
