Now that we have seen the eagles new recruits and rookies, what kind of line-up does everyone think the eagles should play in rnd1?
Here's my best 22:
FB: Williams McIntosh Glass
HB: Wirrapunda Jakovich Morrison
C: Braun Cousins Fletcher
HF: Merenda Wilson Embley
FF: Phil Matera Cummings Roo
Foll: Gardiner Banfield Kemp
Int: Prior Donnelly Jones Sierakowski
Fighting for selection: Chambers, Kerr, Turnball Carroll, Collica, Taylor, Wooden, Harding, Cox
More depth then we first foresaw. Add to that list Gaspar, Green and McDougall who all look to be future stars and we have a half decent team.
Forward line is our biggest weakness, but capable of winning scores. Cummings can kick 90, Matera bro's should kick 70 between them, Wilson should get 30, Merenda, Sierakowski and maybe even wirra all capable of kicking a bag here and there.
Backline is strong, but too many gaps. Too much reliance on Jako and Macca to take out the forwards and for wirra and morrison to rebound. Luckily Glass is emerging as a good defender.
Midfield is 2nd to none.With Cousins, Kemp, Braun and Banfield at least 1 of them will have a superb match each week and at worst will be good. Jones, Fletcher, Roo and Morrison all capable of slotting in if problems with the first 4 arise.
Ruck is alright, but improving every week. Gardiner among top4 ruckmen in the game, and has decent backup in Cox, Turnball and one day McDougall.
The team is not capable of challenging for the flag, and will probably struggle to finish higher then 8th. The inexperience in the team means that they will be inconsistent and if oppositions exploit the teams weaknesses then we will struggle. But all is looking great for the future, as the youngsters will only get better. And those which don't will know that they will be delisted and will try harder, as the eagles have less then half of their '98 list still remaining.
Go Eagles!!!
