Just saw the Mitch Cleary segment on Channel 7. He spoke about Weitering - faces a fitness test to get up this week and TDK on light duties but club confident he gets up. Motlop and Saad pushing to play as well.

Off topic, but how good is the West Coast boy. Reminds me of early Judd, maybe better.

Moves more like Ben Cousin’s to me

I'll be extremely disappointed if we don't see a massive reaction this week around our intent at the ball and man.

More complete player than CJ at the same age, imo.

Yikes. An edict has been issued. Do not mention soft tissue injuries. All future cases are to be named as something exotic. Ebola or a flesh eating disease, reaction to shellfish etc.

Yes - if there are stigmas and stigmas, it might be an opportune time to invert the cone of silence around the AFL's illicit drugs policy. If we wanted to cover up the Club's 17th hamstring of the season, then "OUT: De Koning (cocaine and hookers)" might do the trick!

I’d expect our mids to lift as they were well down on the weekend.

I'd love to see that.

Marchy was abysmal, if Weiters can play. He doesn't.

The decision to drop Cowan for a completely underdone Marchbank was a really poor one, imo.

 

[ctwenty1]

Hopefully Harley Reid will be managed for our game be right near the end of the season

In all seriousness- very good player but I wonder how the eagles will go over next few years as the oldies retire. Ripe for a “go home” trade

Can you imagine what the asking price would be ... we'd need to start stockpiling first rounders this year.

Yep, dropping a match fit player for an underdone player…not the best decision.

It's a home game for the Eagles, so more likely to play

 

[Benaly28]

Can we worry about Saturday first.

We have a few father sons coming up- maybe we can carry some firsts forward

Fair call Benaly

You'd like to think so. We've been out tackled for weeks. The amount of missed tackles against Sydney was alarming.
Warner was laughing at our players groping at fresh air as he piroutted through.

 

[Thrawn]

It would've made zero difference. Actually prefer Marchbank to get some senior games in. Always took a couple of games to find his groove.

I’ve been expecting it for a month

Yep but Voss has his favourites

They owe us a favour - we literally gifted petresvki to them

Wouldn’t mind Cowan getting some development though the midfield, was apparently good in there last week in the VFL.
