2012 Eagles WAFL watch thread

[WCErevival]

There is no way all of them will fit in the forward half.

Swift / Stevenson / Weedon / McGovern / Hamp / Neates , all playing for Claremont today .

Swifty a surprise inclusion and maybe a WCE exclusion

 

[WCErevival]

Now fit the rest of the team in.

 

[kempy]

Should be an interesting game in the current gale ...

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Stevenson 15 touches and Swift 11 to halftime.

Others don't seem to have done much

 

[Ochre]

So Swift and Hams' are out but McGinnity stays in?

Bloody ridiculous

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Neates has really lifted in the second half, good to see.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Stevenson kicking in atrocius conditions been magnificent, howling wind, rain and freezing cold Melbourne type weather.

Claremonts best again, never loses a one on one, is so composed.

I'm really starting to find his lack of opportunity extremely frustrating.

As much as I love the way we have turned things around, we still play favourites way too much. Very distinct hierarchy when it comes to match day selection.

Senior player>>>connection to the club>>>high draft pick>>>can run really far>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>form.

Is Stevenson's endurance subpar?

Senior player (A Selwood, Butler?)>>>connection to the club (Masten, Brennan)>>>high draft pick (Ebert, Shep)>>>can run really far (Brad D)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>form (Favourite WAFL player?).

Did I get it right?

Where does Paddy fit in there?

 

[Definitely Maybe]

I'm really starting to find his lack of opportunity extremely frustrating.

Lets be realistic, our depth of half backs/back pockets is pretty good. Hurn, Waters, A. Selwood and Butler are the first picked, and then you have Smith, McGinnity and Brennan ahead of Stevenson so it's no wonder he hasn't got a game yet. Unlucky for Stevenson but if he keeps playing well he may get an opportunity.

The coaching staff get it right more often than not.
How many times have we rejoiced over a player finally being included only to see them under perform?

There must be a reason he's not getting a game.

That's a forwardline that looks great on paper but would contain 3 extremely underdone players heading into a finals series. Not a recipe for success. We need to be careful about this. It could mean some hard decisions. Kennedy would have to be the one that gets first priority due to his importance to the team structure.

Please Ive been calling for him all year. Don't care if he doesn't play well i just want to see him once.

He played very well in the pre-season. My guess he is simply too far down on the pecking order despite being in better form than Butler now and A. Selwood early in the year.

Where does Paddy fit in there?

Run really far, should have been "c grade hard worker". That is where Paddy fits.

He played the lock down role well last year but this season

Nico and JK at least are doing a "mini pre season" about what Scooter did over Jan/Feb. I'd back the club in one selection here. Jk will get about 4 or 5 games in before the finals too (listed as 6 weeks now I think?)

All our coaches where at the game today so they would of seen Stevenson's form, so maybe a sub this week.

Doubt it.

We play on Thursday.

Woosha was at Bassendean Oval to see Hams / Newman also ! It was a disgrace to hear that he was seen kicking a purple footy with his sons mate ! = Drop Woosha for Burns this week !

Kicking purple things perfectly acceptable.
