Are Eagles waiting for NickNat?

Good thinking to let Cox battle it out for a while. Te Q is often a spark on the ball as well. Nick Nat can be eased in with a three way rotation.
MMMM the running down Judd bit I like a lot. Broken leg or shoulder the icing on the cake??

Yep I agree wholeheartedly, yes younger players are our future. But that doesnt mean you rush them into the side before they're capable of handling it..(NickNat included) If they're performing well in the WAFL, training the house down and are physically ready then sure do it. But playing younger players purely on the premise "that they are the future" is just plain wrong. (and dumb). Cox does need help in the ruck, because frankly he looks exhausted come half time. And Lynch's form has tapered off (aside from 5min during the 3rd quarter) We're asking far too much of both. Seaby was terrible earlier in the season but has dominated at WAFL level (as he should) and deserves another chance.

I agree about Seaby,41 hit outs last week is super.i watched the game on TV and was quite impressed with him.Not a bad situation to be in with Seaby putting pressure on and Natanui getting some games into his body.

Naitanui did less than 50% of the ruckwork i would say against East Perth for his 27 hitouts thats damn impressive.

Sumich press conference today.....will play after the break, possibly earlier with exceptional WAFL form over the next fortnight. Set to play mainly up forward.
