Well done to both players. Strijk will only improve and the good news he will play for us along with VB next year. WP connection at Carlton-Warnock,Browne,Harris and now Josh.
Well I suppose Strijk will now train with West Coast, and that can only make him a better player you would think, good to see he will still play for us at least....
Congratulations to both boys.
I also see that Wade Skipper is going to Hawthorn.
Well done to both of them. I’ve always thought of Strijk as a talented player who perhaps lack a bit of endeavour, so being on an AFL list and training full time will really help him. Has the talent to play AFL.
u are kidding me. just goes to show what scouts actually know. how can strijk get picked up??? i could name a dozen midfielders better than him in the wafl. howlett is another one. what about, salacic, brett robinson, ross young,hilderbrandt, kayler-thompson, josh roberts, blackwell. Strijk is shit, as is oakley nicholls, hams is ok but there is better players than these lot in the wafl, and sanfl. these players i have mentioned are far better footballers than the ones that have been drafted. agree or disagree????

Are you kidding kikka, or are you just one of those “hate everything the Eagles do” people? I didn’t know a real lot about Strijk or Hamms, so I did a bit of reading....perhaps you should too.

shark.are u telling me that strijkis better than these players i mentioned???? if so, why didn’t he beat salacic in the best and fairest?? where did he come in the best and fairest??? is he better than these players i mentioned??? how did hams fair in sths best and fairest??? top 5??? u must be honest, strijk is not even in west perths top 5 most valuble players.. so why do these players get drafted on 1 game. its a joke. young, roberts, robinson, hildebrandt, kayler-thompson,oliver, blackwell,shit allover strijk, hams,...u want more??? peake is useless,as is dodd,just to add a couple of sharks for u.
shark my friend , andrew strijk is a young bloke who has done a pre season with the eagles and i think they can see potential in this kid , hes not a bad footballer when hes on song , hes got a good kick on him and he had reasonable season last year . its good for our club because he will train with the eagles and hopefully become a better footballer and hopefully prove a few people wrong .

yes… WHEN HE IS ON SONG. on song for 4or 5 games a year.stop kidding yaself. a good kick. fair enough.. but how many times does he get a kick??? not many!! yes u would hope he becomes a better footballer as most people would training at an afl club. my point is,,,, is he better than these other players in the wafl????
I have heard Robertson is very close to signing from two independent sources. This would be huge for us. I suppose once its done the news will be all over the press
You are on the money goalkickka. It amazes me how some of these players get picked up. The players you mentioned that didnt get picked up have all been consistant and better players over the past years.
Taking nothing away from players picked up, good luck to them. Hope they prove me wrong, but i doubt it.
I dont know about these recruiting managers, or the scouts that are around the place.
I have always liked McNamarra. Dont know why he got delisted. Also Foster, but he is a bit injury prone.
I always thought I had a clue about good players. Obviously I was wrong.
Sorry have to put this one in. Oliver is a far better backman than Hams. Hams is limited where can play.
Strijk is only 21 hence why his selection… the others are 24+.. He will play AFL this year… did well in the state game too. Ready made player with his build.
That doesnt wash Diesel. 24+ all these players would step right in and play good footy. Besides that they should have been picked up before. Anyway good luck to him. Cant see him playing next year. Could be wrong.
