View Full Version : Eagles midfields is no longer the best in the league
Its pretty much confirmed now, we dont have the best midfield in the comp. Eagles midfield this year has been real poor for us, with the exception of Judd four week burst no one or nothing in the midfield has worked for us.
Kerr is struggling and apart from 10 super qtrs for the year can be non existant, got cained tonight, struggling for fitness and has taken a step back from last year
Cousins has had his injury problems but is getting alot more attention and hence he is now not geting the amount of ball he got last year, playing at about 50% compared to how he was going last year
Cox is another one who has taken a step back this year, cant run out a full game (injured) and not being as effective with his disposal as he once was, he used to be our best kick in the team, last year he kicked goals, this year he hasnt. Josh Fraser thrashing him a month ago was a sign to me he is not at his best by a looooooong shot
Chad Fletcher was on the verge of being dropped, got rocketted by the coaching staff and in the past month has actually looked half decent, his first six weeks were career worst but since then he has been good but not near his best
Michael Braun had a 3 week pre season and it showed with the first month of him avg 13 possessions a game, since then he has been quite good, our only midfielder to show his 2005 form
Andrew Embley is in and out of the game like a yoyo, no consistency, his disposal is at the worst level I have ever seen.
Chris Judd has been superb like always but has been out for 3 weeks now and his first 2 weeks he was completely tagged out of the games, that month though was amazing, but hes hardly had a better start to the year then last year
Tyson Stenglein is being used more as a defender but even so is averaging 5 less possessions then he did in 2005, another one playing alot worse this year then last.
Adam Selwood up and down but one of only two playing better then last year
Mark Seaby is in shocking form, will be dropped for Gardiner next game, thats a near certainty.
Chick Wirra no longer play any role in the middle neither do Banners, they dont have the legs after having no pre season between the 3 of em. The slack is then left to be picked up by the likes of Rosa Waters RoJo who are trying but neither 3 of them have good enough disposal really.
IMO our midfield has been slighlty overrated, the stats say they arnt playing all that well. If people want to know why were 10-2 look at our defence for all your answers.

They are good, but not in the class of Adelaide and WCE.
Bull****.
The loss of Judd really hurt us, plus the fact that Cousins and Kerr have had some injuries, doesn't exactly make it easy. We have had a tough time of it the last couple of weeks, I think a lot of them really need the break. There is no reason why we aren't still the best midfield in the league, with Judd back in of course.

The injuries sure havnt helped but Adelaide midfield hasnt exactly had the dream injury run either.... We had injuries last year (not to Judd and Cuzz tho) and we lasted.
Fact of the matter is not one player on that list has improved any stat of theres. You can take the poor form of the midfield as a good sign (improvement left in uis) or a bad sign, up to your own beliefs really.

The current problem with West Coast from what I can see is that they've changed their priorities within their midfield over the pre season. Last season they played as a unit where each midfielder, no matter their talent levels, played on a equal standing within the basic structure (recievers, inside mids, taggers, Judd). While this sounds all very well and good, and it obviously worked quite well, it also meant that they weren't using Judds freakish abilities to break games open to it's fullest potential. They weren't protecting him because they we're concentrating on doing the job themselves. Over the summer they obviously had a change of policy and so now one of the main goals of the midfield is to protect Judd and give him every oppotunity to crush the opposition. That's fine when he there, but now that he's not problems are starting to appear. You can't protect Judd and let him win it for you if he isn't there. That was always the risk, but it seems they were willing to take it because apparently that's what they figured would give them their best chance to win the premiership.
I may be completely off target but that's just how I see it.

Why do people post knee-jerk threads?
WC are 10-2 at the break and need the week off as much as any team.
Under the circumstances, to suggest that WC no longer have the #1 midfield, as though it's been conclusively demonstrated, is shrill alarmism at its most laughable.
Grow up. Get some perspective.

Well we apparently have no forward line, an undersized backline, and anyone over 190cm is out for the year. You have to wonder how we've won 8 games if it isn't our midfield.
Ports midfield >> Eagles midfield :p

Tonight, yeah, there's no disputing that.
Mind you, there are a couple of Eagles fans who are jumping off a bit fast. Second on the ladder (and only by percentage) at the break is a pretty good place to be for an assault on the premiership. Especially if you've not actually been playing that well.

It's as though there's a race that begins after every game.
The winner of this race is the person who posts the most knee-jerk thread with the most sweeping conclusions the fastest.
Cast your mind back to the second half of 2005.
Remember how bad we were against Geelong and the Bulldogs?
Remember how many people insisted that the Eagles had come unstuck and that the sky was about to fall on their heads?
How significant were those losses in the scheme of things?
boo hoo, so we lost a game! you are jumping off the bandwagon. its the "loss we had to have" imo. our form has been mediocre for the majority of the season and we had our pants pulled down tonight by a hungrier, better skilled team. many of our players will benefit greatly from the break. i am quite happy with how we are travelling. we are 10-2 and are yet to hit an almost inevitable patch of form, which by the looks will be at the right end of the season. there is a great chance of a top two spot and with it possibly comes another shot at the gf. lets just hope we are good enough this year. this picture i took for my pessimistic fellow west coast supporters...

WCE are fine guys, just having their performance dip for the season before improving for the run to the finals. They are looking a bit tired and carrying a few injurys and AAMI is an unforgiving place. They will be well improved after the break. Last night said more about where Port is at than it did about West Coast. Kudos to Port, those young fella's you have look like the real deal. I ll see if I can get Freo's recruiting department to come over to Adelaide in the off season for some recruiting lessons. ;)
Geez Embers I thought we have been o.k this year without being great.
To say we no longer have the best midfield is a little premature, coming from me :o
Just be patient and watch us dominate when it counts. (September ;) )

We can be the best if we want to be dont get me wrong, where the most talented but were not the best performing by a loong shot. That was my point
Not one of them is playing above themselves or anywhere near. You can see this as a positive or a negative depending on how you look at it. If the midfield can find there 2005 form then were gonna be there on the last day in September.
Will they refind it, we will see

At the time June 17th I was right in my assessment, we were worse then Adelaide Bulldogs, after a good two weeks things change. If your first opinion was all that was relevant then Glass would still be a delisted hack in everyone esles eyes

You made a sweeping proclamation about WC's declining midfield, which you've now reversed.

Id say the lesson here is that it took 2 months for 2 weeks of football to change everything :confused: . Not much of a lesson really. They were abysmall early on in the year and I think most Eagles fans would agree

Adelaide and Bulldogs are now the two best midfields in the leagueWhat a laughably premature statement this was.
It's funny that the two sides you nominated as having superior midfields were the two sides we outran and generally monstered en route to the GF. Look at what happened to the Bulldogs in the second week of the finals. They got murdered.
For what it's worth, when our 8-man midfield (Cox, Cousins, Judd, Kerr, Fletcher, Embley, Braun, Stenglein) were all playing together, we went undefeated in 2006.

At the time it was correct though. Our midfield wasnt very good at the beginning of the year at all but they turned it on when it mattered I guess. They definetly didnt play aswell as they did in 2005 and I thought the forward line and defence improvement was what led to us finishing 1st on the ladder

You should have waited until we were at full strength before making sweeping statements.
WC always had the best midfield in the league.
When they all played at once, we were undefeated.

When we fielded our full midfield, we were undefeated in 2006. So how poor could they have been?
You made a premature judgement on incomplete evidence. It was completely bogus.
We had the best midfield at the start of the season, and the best midfield at the end. Agreed?
But, according to you, the Crows and the Bulldogs leapfrogged us - despite us sitting top 2 for 19 of 22 weeks and being undefeated when our full midfield played.
It was a bad call on your part, and it was never justified.

Most Eagles fans bar you agree our midfield was poor at the start of the year so id suggest it is justified. Much more justified then Beau Waters isnt a defender and not in our best 22 comment made by you.
Do yourself a favor and look at EVERY midfielders stats from Round 15 onwards. Every midfielder averaged more disposals and everything after I said this pretty much. Its got nothing to do with the full midfield. Chad Fletchers abscence doesnt effect Chris Judd etc.

Well 2 weeks after I said this Bulldogs blew us off the park in the midfield with close to our full midfield.
If you think having the 3rd best midfield is 'poor' then you need ya head examined. It was still good it just wasnt the best at the time. However after Round 15 the midfield began to click and picked up there game and then became the no 1 midfield again. It aint rocket science

Point me to the most negative thing I said about Waters.
There were times when he could have quite easily been dropped for bad decision-making and ordinary disposal. Do you disagree?

Id say it changes in a half season basis. Everyone starts the season as equals and we go from there really. First half they werent no 1. Second part they were. Bulldogs might only have won by 8 pts but that was largely thanks to our defense and forward line that day. There midfield battered ours.
I meant poor due to there usual high standards which is fair enough. Losing games had nothing to do with it it was the way in which they played. They were playing very unaccountable football and didnt look fit enough which was easily seen generally due to alot of players poor pre seasons.

Nope. I think he was always in our best 22. He just needed some more time. When he was playing poorly he helped the team in other ways through his defensive pressure and toughness.
Ive kind of lost the point of this. I said it was a knee jerk reaction that was justified at the time. Go look at the stats a bit more closer. They turned it around and are now the best midfield in the comp
Just like how you thought Waters wasnt in our best 22 then 10 weeks later he plays a ripping final series and is easily in our best 18.
You all should know by now that Gunnar never is wrong...
He just happens to make sound errors of judgement that in the fullness of time and all other things being equal, would've been correct but the moon was passing through the cusp of venus and the wind changed.
However, for all those people who may have made a statement that turned out to be wrong, well, you just have to accept the fact that you're an ignoramus, who should just accept the mastery that is Gunnar Longshanks and be humiliated when in the year 2020 he brings up a thread from 2004...

It was a fair statement at the time but as you have learned things change. They got better. Where they number 1 all of last season. Nope. I believe our midfield didnt win every single contest they played in but they won the important one which I guess is all that matters.
Kind of sad your always having a crack at other Eagles fans when you are the first to write players off alot of the time. Beau Waters Chad Fletcher were just two players you called to be dropped during the season. How was there GFs btw ;)
I write players off al the time. Someones gotta make a prediction otherwise things would get mighty boring around here. I do it, you do it too so I think its kind of silly for you to be pointing this out to me. Talk about hypocritical

bulldogs as a team are a great unit and for a while quite a few eagles players were in a form slump leading into that midyear break. When you have players like judd, kerr, embley etc being led by cousins a slump is never going to last long..
I also think people underestimated lynchys worth this year, i think he added alot of structure to the team and it payed dividends when they started to play on song. Best midfield by far and they have been for a long time, was definately a knee jerk reaction.
