I already wrote somewhere on Blitz that I thought West Coast’s preseason was unfolding in concerning fashion.
And then I saw West Coast play today…and Yeo, Sheed and Chesser all went off injured (it was already a long injury list)…so I think they are in deep deep deep trouble this year. Blow out losses. Possible spoon.
The look of the match was so bad, that I thought Clarke might have some value at WC this year…just to get to contests all over the ground and slow things down. WC need to slow the opposition down, just to minimise the size of their losses (Fremantle were going coast to coast today with ease).
I’m no fan of Clarke, I wanted him off our list years ago…but this is an extreme situation…it’s late February, WC’s midfield is awful, and I think they just need to find a way through this season.
