Andrew 'Mini' McQualter

Him or Skipworth ?

Update: Mini.

Well that's Baker definitely off to WCE. Remains to be seen with Fridge. Makes it a bit easier for him you'd think. I think Shai will still go to Freo rather than WCE.
Lock in Baker and Graham.
 
good luck .he will need it

looks like the x richmond players will be heading to the west coast now

This decision was made because now they can get Bolton too.
Not sure WC is our best option considering they only have pick 3.
Bolton and Baker for pick 3
Or Bolton for picks 10 & 12
And Baker pick 16 from Fremantle.
I know which 1 I prefer.

Don't think for 1 second that this didn't play a roll in him getting the job.
 
Huge effort by Mini. Great story. Got knocked back and kept going.

Will be an interesting watch. And you would think Baker and Graham now go.

Why weren't the player's listen too.
If the player's liked playing for McQualter why not give him the job. Especially for 2 yrs??
Another Jewell to Bourke Job.
This club finds ways of bending itself over

Or, we could get West Coast's 2025 first rounder as well... or make a play for Harley Reid
 
Bolton will go Freo anyway.

So we can lock in

1, 9, 10 (Bolton), 13 (Baker) and around 21 (Graham)

* Likely 6 and 12 for Rioli with maybe either 9 or 10 given back

Now need to wheel and deal to get higher end picks

If Bolton was going to freo he couldve announced it 4 weeks ago.
He is going to WC and playing under Quack Quack
 
Well done McQualter.

This could could really ramp up the pressure on Yzr and the club if McQualter gets some early gains with the Eagles and we are still floundering around the bottom four.

Eagles started their rebuild a few years before us. The eagles could have another bottom 4 finish.

I am happy for Mini but he didn't get excited me when he took over as he was a Dimma clone! We all said we needed a new voice.

Hardwick left the list lopsided a bit of a mess so this draft and the next we need to fix that.

Yze will ramp it up next year no doubt. Caracalla coming back I am very happy about as he will address the game plan. Surely, we don't have as many injuries to our better players in 2025 as we did in 2024.

It will still be a bit of a tough year but so excited with the talent which is about to walk through the doors of Punt Road in this upcoming draft which is deep full of talent.

It took Hardwick when he took over from Wallace 4 years till we played finals. I have in faith in Yze and believe he will get us to our next era, he can't be judged on 1 or even 2 years but year 3 you want to see the steady climb.
Hawks took 6 years to play finals from their last finals appearance in 2018. This is Mitchell's 3rd year and they did finish bottom four in his second year.
