Not my best work, but in between uni commitments, exchange applications and job hunting I had neither the time nor the creative juices left to create a masterpiece.
:hearts: Be gentle :hearts:
The back pocket is very much up in the air. Unlike the half back flanks, where stalwarts Hurn and Waters ply their trade, there is no one player with any great claim to the back pocket position.
Butler has the most runs on the board and is probably the most consistent and reliable performer...
Positives:
Goalkicking accuracy with 28.7.
Naitanui returns to form.
Even spread of goals with 15 goalkickers.
Mcginnity wasn't terrible.
Negatives:
Clearance work still need improvement.
Defence shaky at times, 12 goals conceded.
Glass's hit on Brown, capping off a disappointing game from the...
Not sure if this topic has been covered or if there is a simple codified answer to my question but quite frankly I have to look at enough legal code and archived crap as it is.
Anyway, I was wondering about a scenario in which a player were to just go bat-s**t crazy on the field, the classic...
This is going to be tough.
5: Rosa- Was great all day, barely missed a target, kicked 2 nice goals himself
4: Lecras- 5 goals, enough said. Not his most influential game, but was the only thing working up forward and made the most of his opportunities/
3: Strijk- Kicked a couple and took some...
Now this isn't pie in the sky trading fantasy, just wondering what others thought about this.
Interesting exercise of discussing the positional, characteristic and experience based needs of the club, also reflecting drafting and trading strategies.
I'll get the ball rolling and suggest Kurt...
Not trying to suggest this is gong to happen, so don't bother whinging.
Howabout:
WC trade pick 7 to Collingwood for N.Brown
Collingwood trade pick 7 to Sydney for Jolly+ pick 28
Collingwood trade picks 14+28 to St Kilda for Ball
St Kilda trade picks 14 and 17 to Port Adelaide for Burgoyne...
Beatlesmith's Top 40 Phantom draft (with explanations) *UPDATED*
1: Tom Scully (Melbourne)- Standout mid of the draft, quality in all areas.
2: Jack Trengove (Melbourne)- Another outstanding midfield prospect, will be able to go KP later
3: Dustin Martin (Richmond)- Have been very interested...
Where do you think he'll go?
Most had him going to Hawthorn or Carlton, but with their picks up in the air, who will pull the trigger and grab him?
Would love the Eagles to grab him at 7.
Reminds me of Sam Fisher in his calculated and precise rebound from defence. Can play CHB, midfield and...
Not a serious trade, so don't bother having a whinge. All of these ridiculous 3-4-5-6 way trade suggestions got me thinking; why not let the entire family join in?
Ladies and Gentlemen, a 16 way trade, the veritable trade orgy...
Adelaide Get: Pick 9+Pick 17
Adelaide Lose: Taylor Walker...
Draft Camp predictions
So who do we think will star in the areas of:
Standing vertical leap
Running vertical leap
20m sprint
Repeat sprints
Shuttle run
3km time trial
Agility test
Kicking test
On a side note, I think that a strength test should be implemented at the DC.
I think Fyfe will do...
Looks to be a great prospect.
Pretty unique skills set with a long, accurate kick, strong overhead, great goal sense, strength, tackling, defensive pressure and kicking for goals.
Averaged 16 disposals, 2 goals, 4 tackles and 5 marks during the championships.
Although from what I can gather he...
7 days of trading following the filling of teams, followed by the draft.
Approach it however you wish. You could bottom out your team and show a future best 22 of promising prospects, or you could try and top up and make the best 22 possible. The Marketplace is your oyster.
Adelaide- reggie...
Didn't see one around, so i thought us Western Australians could have our own playpen in this plethora of VCE bs.
Feel free to discuss TEE courses, exams, experiences, schools etc.
Everyone should post what subjects they have done or currently do, so information can be spread easily.
Year 12...
Two very well rounded, 'complete package' midfielders.
Both around the 187-189cm range and good overhead, physically mature.
Both have elite footskills and funnily enough, both were born on the same day.
Both can play inside and outside roles, with stints up forward and the ability to kick...
David and his partner Shannon have welcomed a young boy in to the world this morning. Congratulations.
http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,25997991-948,00.html
Think about the talent this kid will have. Cultivate him David, cultivate!
Now all we need is for Embley and Glass to...
5: Embley- stepped up when it counted
4: Hurn- 31 touches of the highest quality
3: Kenedy- 4 goals, great marking, kept presenting
2: Rosa- Great start to the game, faded out but really stepped up in the last term
1: Glass- Rock solid in defence, what we have come to expect
HM: Brown, Lecras
I think we have now seen the new and improved shannon hurn.
Woosha has given him a more attacking orientated role in both matches, particularly today against Port. He has been in our top 5 players in each match imo.
What impressed me today is how he set up so much play through the middle, but...
And so it begins, again.
So he can't plead ignorance, it will be posted again, credit to rojo:
Well mr anti, if that IS your real name, what do you have to say for yourself?
Fletch and hansen, the usual scapegoats did enough to stay in IMO.
Seaby was attrocious.
Nicoski didn't get nearly enough of it.
Ebert, rosa and masten were poor.
Butler and embley look underdone.
Mackenzie should maintain his spot.
Interesting.......
Out: Seaby
In: Kennedy
Rationale...
5: Lecras- Only one threatening up forward
4: Fletcher- Only midfielder standing up and resisting. Didn't miss many targets.
3: Hurn- Was great in defence, got a great goal and set up dangerous attacking movements
2: Glass- Did a very good job against brown. Umpires have it in for him i swear...
GUN. Can play leading forward, crumbing forward and outside mid.
Very, very deadly in both set shots and in snaps on the run. 71.34 for his entire career. Very accurate field kicker.
Marks well above his height, and is very quick on the lead.
About to take the next step. Elite i tell you, elite.
With Cousins injury woes in the foreground of Richmond supporters mind, how will those who followed their champion to Richmond deal with their hero being a broken down mess?
Will these weak minded peons come crawling back, or will they cling to the 'strength and bravery' that Richmond had to...
Champions of the game. Tough as nails who put their heads over the ball and bodies on the line. Both played in the 'quarterback' role, and provided great distribution to their respective midfields, as well as marking dangerous forwards.
So who was better?
It is a tradition within my entirely eagles supporting (including 8, 10 and 12 year members) family, that at the start of the year, we predict that this is 'the year of....'.
Which player (outside the obvious top tier in glass, cox and kerr) will flourish and excel?
2009 is the year of...
Went down to the gym, and then to training. I think i was abit late, even though i got there at 9:25 (and it was listed to start at 9:30, probably started at 9:00).
Boys started off in a huddle
A third of the team went off with woosha in to the rooms, kerr leaves
The larger group ran up...
