Autopsy 3 things you learnt v eagles

[Bonz]

1. Parker may be a sneaky chance at our best and fairest this year, can't remember a game where he has been quiet.

2. Jetta may be judged pretty harshly by some on this board, but personally I think he has had a good season and he seems to be getting better and better every single week.

3. Besides some of the injuries we have had everything seems to be falling into place for us this season, biggest threat to the premiership now is Fremantle.

 

[Tuco]

1. Ch7's WA transmission is apparently being run by the clowns from The Dish.




2. Jetta is becoming very damaging

3. Parker is a ruckman.

 

[Grongey]

The umpires should face the match review panel. They seem determined to morph the game into rugby.

Umps, blow it up and throw it up, and pay holding the ball, you remember that old rule!

1. 11wins, fantastic streak... Lets keep it going against the Blues this weekend!
2. Our defence. A Rock. Great work again!
3. Goodes. Brilliant again. Not bad having a 3rd forward his side haha. Defense's around the comp are being stretched.

1 Happy to get a win away again interstate 7 from 7
2 I was wrong about McGlynn, looks like he wants a premiership medal
3 Reid was very good, as was Rampe and Laidler, even though I didn't give them a vote

Reid is interesting - thought he might fade away in the Buddy/Tippett/Goodes limelight, but he's becoming important.
Rampe is a beauty - hell of a boot too.

 

[disgruntled goat]

We have a few in all australian contention. Richards, smith, mal, Grundy, Kennedy, Parker and even buddy

Was just going to mention Grundy ... I thought he was outstanding yesterday; Richards, Smith, Malceski and Rampe were all triffic but I thought Grundy was a real general at the back.

Laidler has slotted in just beautifully as well.

 

[Olian]

1. Defence is resolute as ever.
2. Goodes is a decent third forward.
3. Reid has had his best season to date with his general play. His goal kicking has improved (he used to miss the easy kicks).

 

[tonk]

1. we won, so I went straight to the nearest bar here in sunny Mexico
2. I discovered happy hour is 2 for 1 margaritas
3. shitfaced..............yippee

 

[disgruntled goat]

Laidler has slotted in just beautifully as well.

Yeah, true, I neglected to mention him. That was an outstanding team defensive effort yesterday ... just thought Grundy, physically, set a real example.

 

[momentbymoment]

I have a question.

We all know that Tippett in the forward line is a huge help structurally. So what do we do if he is injured for the finals?

Is Pyke an option now that his fitness and marking are back? (with TD in the ruck)

Or ....?

 

[bedford]

Just a thought, why don't we change the name of these to just say What did you learn against that team, as most have more than 3 things or only have 1 thing to say

 

[GoTheSwannies]

1. Goodes said there were certain things he could no longer do on the footy field, but wasn't going to give them away. If he keeps dishing from 50 out people are going to start taking notice. Doesn't move very well laterally either
2. Grundy is almost Teddy's equal, he's taken his game to the top.
3. Good to win with a fair amount of youngsters in the side, saw some of those guys getting pushed around in the wet, but our midfield still managed to dominate. Goes to show how dominant our experienced mids are.

 

[bedford]

1 Just watching again, that 1st free kick is one of the worst

He just guessed. Did not know, couldn't see but took a stab at it anyway to get his mug on TV.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

It was pretty obvious when Bird was trying to stand up with both hands in the air he didnt have the ball! LOL

What was worse was not long after the exact same thing happened to an Eagles player and you can clearly hear the audio from the ump when he calls a ball up "it came out the back"..

 

[bungee]

1. We can win ugly in the wet despite the umps
2. Jetta is very clean in the wet and great in traffic
3. Parker is untouchable. Turns on a dime. Hits like an express train. B&F smokey this year. Wet weather monster. Did Horse have him cloned from Jude ?

 

[bedford]

I love B1, but this clone might be a bit better

 

[bungee]

4. A big mention to Bird. He'd be a top valued midfielder in most teams. Consistency personified. Excellent job every single week and this one was no exception.

 

[Number37]

I love B1, but this clone might be a bit better

Wash your mouth out.
I too love Parker but he has a long long way to go to get anywhere near B1.

 

[Sketi]

1. Winning 11 games straight is a pretty effective way of turning your season around. Top of the table woop!

2. Laidler is growing in confidence and now seems cemented in the 22, becoming a great story along with Rampe in the back 7.

3. Rampes left boot is becoming a weapon.

4. I liked Rohans game. Was surprised to see he only had 8 touches, but some of those tackles in the forward 50 were telling and easily worth a couple of posessions. Fluffed a couple of disposals but that's just nerves.

5. Jetta is working hard.

6. Goodes still has it. I've already learnt that, but I keep unlearning it and then learning it again. Undefeated with him in the team this year.

7. Bedford may have a point re thread title.

FFS I said Might !
