One thing I know is we have about the same amount of delistings to do. Yours are all coming from your best 22 or close to it.

We're delisting from 30-45 on the list. And our middle is still solid.
And we have pick 5
And our youth have played a fair bit...while yours haven't
Enjoy

Eagles are ******. Leading goal kicker in that final was Sam Mitchell, and leading contested possession winner and clearance player was Priddis. Take away the 30 y.o. Kennedy and their forward line is worse than ours.

The midfield is a joke. Only Shuey is any good. Gaff has been found out.

You could take all of these guys off their list: Wellingham, Josh Hill, LeCras, Giles, Schofield, Partingham, Mutimer, Redden, Butler, Cole, Lamb, Nelson, Karpany, Masten and replace with good VFL/SANFL/WAFL players and they'd be a better team.

They need to replace 3x best 22 players with the aforementioned list. Rioli and Waterman look ok. The rest are list cloggers.

I don't mind Karpany. Thought he did some good things this year but didn't get the support
The other one I liked is Tom Cole. Don't understand why he didn't get more game time. Was he injured?

Did any see when Duggan got flattened. Had about half an age to sidestep or do something. Nah I'll just stop in my tracks and make it easier for them to get me. He completely froze.

He's got the Kennedy/Darling/Jetta/Wellingham/Yeo/Cripps finals disease.

As nauseating as last week was with all the eagle fans (media included) up and about, them making finals and Shuey cheating for that free is the best thing that could have happened. Top 6 draw, later draft pick, and most probably an internal review that won't be anywhere near as intense.

Not sure who their targets will be come trade week but they will have to have a crack at some high profile mids or next year will be a shit show. Starting midfield will be the worst in the league by a mile. Nic Nat will be a big help but he's a ruckman coming off a knee reco and zero games in 18 months.

Priddis, Mitchell, Petrie, Butler, Hill, Wellingham, Lecras, Lamb most likely gone off the main list, with Masten, Giles, McInnes, Tunbridge and Brophy massive chances to all be gone too. Rebuild talk for sure. This years draft apparently lacking depth won't help much either.

Core is still solid but letting Simpson and the current coaching staff oversee the rebuild while those players are still around could set them back even further.

To Simpson or not to Simpson?

Thats the last final we'll see Eagles play this decade. Bookmark that!!

The players know their window is shut. That was the last roll of the dice. They will struggle with the larger perth stadium oval. They have no run at all and as others have said kennedy isn't getting any younger. They have officially fallen off that beautiful cliff.

Some humorous stuff on the WC board this morning. Shuey for captain next year and challenging for top 4 in 2018 is still a real possibility. Oh - and NN is the messiah (worth 5 goals a game according to one poor soul).
I made a bet(block of Export) with a mad eagles supporter a few weeks back that the eagles don't win 13 games or more in the 2018 H&A season...He is absolutely convinced that with the return of NN & Lycett into the eagles best 22,WC will be far stronger,so deluded.

I'm contemplating taking up another bet.WC finisher lower on the ladder than us which he challenged me to this week.

Stupid bet on his part. No way we win more games than we did this year. And christ you guys celebrating us falling off a cliff. Focus on your own team? ;)

Don't do it Bro. They are most likely coming down but absolutely no guarantees it is to below us. Especially if they don't accept their fate and play all the older players - will give them better performances than we will get with all the kids.

Dont worry his mate is betting that we win 13 games... for the record we won 12 this year. Dont think we will win more than that.
