Brent Staker.....

[noddy]

Thats the aim. In reality im sick of people acting like a expert and having literally no idea what they are talking about, especially when it comes to my main man Brent Staker.

Has he ever cemented his place in the starting 22 for the Eagles or was he just used in a fill in role & spending time back in the WAFL when not required ?

Embers - it's a footy forum. If you required some idea before posting there would be very little activity indeed

This was a breakout year for Staker. He was on the fringes at the start of the season, but showed plenty in a pretty dismal year for the Eagles. I can't see him going anywhere, but is far from a dud. Makes you wonder sometimes if people here even watch the footy, we all have different views on players, but some people are so far off the mark.....

Hes played 100+ games. Comparing him to Luke Jericho whose played what 10 in the same time on the list is a bit insulting. Hes played the fill in role alot cos we had no KPP or ruck depth. With McKenzie McKinley Wilkes etc now coming through Staker can go play his true position in the midfield.

The Staker of 2009 will be alot different and is gonna take the whole comp by surprise. Get him in your dream team guys

Fair call!

My tongue-in-cheek comparison was based on the times i have seen him be underwhelming in the physical stakes, and he is a tall forward/mid option. I should have added a sarcastic smilie.

What i didn't realise was his apparent ability as a tackler and clearance player. Now that is certainly a step up from Jericho

I quite like Staker.
Not trade-for-pick-10 like, though.
If we could work on his decision making a bit, and get some consistency happening, he'd be a hell of a handy player to be able to throw around the ground. A true utility. I can't help but think of 2006, when he carved us up in our first home game of the season as a forward. Can also play a role down back if needed, or tear it up as an oversized midfielder (like Brennan did to us earlier this year).
Would take a punt on him if we could get him cheap.

oh - fair call then

I don't mind Staker, he's very good although I'd rather go for a Brad Fisher.

 

[The Ironist]

Staker is very underrated. Its time to let Stiffy go to port and ontrade that pick for Staker.

Benefits - He is a utility, can play Bassets role if needed. Plus tall and fast.

Stiffy is an average player we already have Mcleod and Symes who play the same role as him

How quickly we forget. Stiffy is much more than an average player. His form for 90% of his career has been outstanding and in my view he is in the top two or three small defenders in the AFL.

He lost confidecne but when he gets that back he will be a star for us again.

Stiffy is going nowhere.

McLeod has only one year left at most and Symes is a very different player who will be playing as a winger or an in and under on baller.

They don't!

Most get on here and write stuff like...I haven't watched the game yet, I was listening to the radio, I read in the Tiser, Rucci said, my family member tells me, and the list goes on.

These are the ones who attack others all the time when an opinion contrary to their own is aired.

Ur, he is the best.

Who else is better?

I would rather Dale Morris for one.

But in terms of Staker i like his versatility and I think that a change of scenery could turn him into a good utility. Would much rather him on our list than at least 5 players at the moment.

West Coast would love that.


They are going to do what they did in 2001. Draft a super team.


We need to use our pick to secure our future. Staker hasnt proved anything, even in the 15th best team in the comp. I would perhaps do a trade in terms of players. But thats it.

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

Symes is not a backman, he is not a HBF he is a midfielder. You get the best out of him by throwing him in the guts, not getting him to play out of position in Johncock or Mcleod's role.

You make a very convincing argument.

Ur, he is the best.

Ur, no he is not.

Top 5 yes. Not the best though. If hes been the best over the past few years as youve said a few times now, how come hes never once been nominated for All Australian?
