If Priddis is replaced who'll drive the tank?

Come on guys?? What's wrong?
Was going to suggest you all come over to my place on Wednesday night and burn an effigy of Ploddus and watch a vid of his worst clangers. How about it?
p.s. Please give me some more 'likes'
Anyone who thinks Priddis should be dropped, ask a former player and see what they think.
Better yet, call Sports Today tomorrow night and I guarantee you that they'll confirm Priddis is an inside mid, and does his job quite well.
Looking for players to drop? Look at Gaff and Masten. In their fourth and seventh year respectively and DO NOT hurt sides with their constant 30 touches.
The difference between the top four and us?
Top four sides have premium on-ballers who use the ball smartly and hurt sides with their possessions.
We simply don't have an A grader.
And Wellingham hasn't been the winger we would've hoped for.
Glassy is quite pissed off with his effort, he was one of a few players who took a pay cut to get him at the club.
Subtlety and intelligence usually goes hand in hand, ergo...

The troll returns ...
Still waiting for you to address that "horseshit" post...
Unless you are actually just a troll?
Which would be kinda sad for a 60+ year old ...
Not a troll.
Just a defender of unjustified attacks on players in the team I support.
Some plain nasty and vicious
So I 'm not 12 any more. I have aged to 60+

I'm a former player.
Mate I played 150 A grade games in the Amateurs, but I'm talking about a former player at the highest level

Thought experiment: Think of the midfield that won us and other teams a flag in the last say 7 years (back to 2007). Now name and rate the main inside mid(s) of said teams, compare and contrast to Eagles main inside mid(s) 2014.
Thanks for the heads-up Smotie!
And thanks for the 'likes' you gave me before you realised I was just lampooning you, you nuffie!!!
Nothing wrong with a bit of satire is there?!?
And there's the conundrum.....That list would include Kerr, Cousins, Matera, Mainwaring, Rowan Jones.
Jones was great with his disposal under pressure. Would regularly be getting hammered and feeding out to Judd & co.
I am one of those with spite. Top bloke, tries 100% every week, no issue there. So F***** what? I don't wish injury on anyone, but with Priddis, I kind of half hope his does his knee, so the Match Committee doesn't have to make a decision on the Plonker, that they clearly don't have the balls to make.
You post like you're 12. Your profile says you're 61...
That aside, it was you who called a decent post horseshit. The post was not an unjustified attack but rather a considered opinion.
Why won't you address what about said post was "horseshit"?
Be a grown up pops
Most of what iI read on this thread is Horseshit.
The post you are talking about refered to WCE being poor list management in not trading Priddis 4 years ago when he reached his ceiling .
How silly is that. It is horseshit.
Let's get rid of Kennedy .reached his ceiling and will never be as good as Riewolt.
The dockers had this approach for years and look where it got them.
Traded out players who became AA.
They finally took a leaf out of WCE book .
The Eagles gave players every chance,developed their list and created a place players wanted to be.
Does wonders for your club.
I don' t for a moment think that Priddis is a superstar but he does do his job and makes the club a better place.
His attitude is second to none. Our midfield is not great but it is improving.
It did't help that we visited the bottom of the ladder during the compromised drafts either.
We probably would have had a couple more developing midfielders if GC and GWS didn't grab most of the young midfield over the last four years.
If you played any football you will know it's all about the team.
The midfield is a team in itself and needs all to contribute.
To say Priddis is getting someone else's possessions is just plain silly.
Swan and beams still get plenty of the ball even with Pendlebury in the team.
I said before that our other midfielders had to impose themselves on the game more.
The fact that they don't always do this is not through lack of opportunity.
It is the lack of what Priddis has in spades : Attitude.
And there's the conundrum.....
Ebert got shifted aside (played out of position) for the Golden Boy, Priddis.
Heck, even Kerr got shifted out of the No.1 midfield role to accommodate Priddis. There were years of uproars in these threads about it. I'd go so far to say that even if we landed a Judd next year, even a Judd would get played out of position, to fit Priddis into his favoured position.
We draft Wellingham, whom had great success as an on-baller when Ball was injured, and the first thing our Coach (Woosha) said at the time was that we were hoping to turn him into a tagger.
Now we are talking about having Wellingham as a Half Forward Flanker.
Unfrickenbelievable

Priddis has a great attitude, but what do you think of his ability to get the ball to a team mate?
