Luke Shuey has signalled change in the game plan for West Coast in 2022, there has been a focus on faster ball movement & strong method around clearances.
Speaking on Sportsday WA this week Shuey provided insight into the pre-season work which includes a fresh approach from new assistant coaches.
“Obviously our ball movement hasn’t been too crash hot the last couple of years, it’s something we’ve had a look at.”

“We’ve had a bit of a look at the method around the contest and a way to probably get more pressure and tackle numbers up against the good teams,”
“Because that really cost us last year.”
“All these little things we’re working on hopefully will come to fruition pretty early in the season.” Shuey said.
He is also excited to see Campbell Chesser play in 2022, but he didn’t commit to a potential early season debut as yet.
“Looking forward to seeing him play some footy, hopefully this year for the club.” Shuey added.

Fantasy Impact: Subtle change will be a feature of the West Coast ball movement in 2022, previously regarded as slow under senior coach Adam Simpson there is likely to be a switch to use the corridor more often this year.
Another key focus will be stoppages & tackle pressure, an increase in pressure likely points to one significant player from a fantasy perspective and that is Elliot Yeo.
He recorded a career season high 7.3 Tackles in 2019.
Yeo averaged 22.0 Disposals, 2.3 Marks & 5.3 Tackles from 12 games in 2021.
