So I've learnt not to use full stops, and that I have no life. Thanks everyone.

Go and have a beer with your mate in Bali

Great INs.

Duggan needs games. Nelson is a future bull.
Giles in for Brown against Gawn makes sense.
An in form Emac coming in for Schofield is a given.

Now Sheed in for Redden and Nic in for Giles next week and we're talking.

Redden has been super ordinary this yr. Unfortunately, and yet again, wce have recruited 2 duds again. Jetta and Redden are total shite, neither gets their hands on the pill bugger all as they are both ball watchers. Redden simply is a WAFL std footballer.

Watch Reddens vids from his time in Brisbanes midfield. He has excellent extraction ability and decent enough inside 50 ball use. Hes just finding his feet and Simmo is playing him (along with many others) out of position trying to emulate his beloved Hawks.

Some players don't offer versatility Simmo. Sorry to tell ya.

I think Redden will do well this week if he's on the ball and not forward if it where he looks lost.

I actually thought Schoey was playing alright recently. Seems imbalanced having our 3 big FB types all in the same team, but sort of excited to see how they work together.

Not sure who is going to play McGinnity's role here of the changes. Surprised Duggan got a game really, but not expecting either him or Nelson to be great if they're stuck on the HFF. That position seems to be killing whoever has to go there.

That position has been killing eagles players for years, I remember Sharrod playing there when he first came and sucking.

Who was the last player we had who was any good at it? Cuz?

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Apparently spending 15 minutes a week reading news about the sport you follow would greatly impinge on your ability to have a real life.

Pfffft 15 mins? 45 is where it is at!

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Yeah probably cant thinknof too many others, Masten done alright for a year or two, i think Yeo can play it also

Welcome to BF WUUBLY DUUBLY

Do you miss Woosha?

Love Woosha, Love WCE.
Woosh delivered the truth to these lads re their mental strength in 2013 when they went full useless/soft. I like Simo, except that he cannot make any adjustments on game day...its as if his moment is in Match Committee then he is cooked for the week. This group of WC senior players are incredibly soft, as seen on GF day in 15 and Rnd 2 this yr v Hawks at the Gee. Not sure how Adam can cure that ingrained flaw. Personally, id like to see Adam start from scratch, as i just dont think some of our Senior lads, albeit talented, have the fortitude to deliver a flag.
In Melb, Kennedy, Darling, Lecca, Hurn, Priddas, Masto, Butler, Hill, Schofield, Nic Nat have all been shown to be soft mentally and lacking flag winning work rate.

Very excited by McGovern, Barass, Wellingham, Shepperd, Lycett, Shuey, Gaff, Duggan(right attitude), Sheed....for mine...this is the grp in the team that can deliver on the big stage going forwards.

As has already been stated, WCE is not Hawthorn, and Simo, Bolts etc all think that Clarko is the be all end all. Well, Clarko has a grp of players with him that could almost coach themselves. Hawthorns recruiting department deserves many accolades, as does the management of their footy club. Wake up Simo, enough of the line.." im about teaching the players"....you can lead a horse to water but you cant turn Pridda/McGinnity/Hutchings/Redden into Mitchell/Burgoyne/Rioli.

 

[WUUBLY DUUBLY]

Yeo is too up and down, and makes too many poor decisions. Loves himself more than he loves dominating the play.

 

[Chris_6678]

Yeah Masten seems to be our only player who can play that HFF role and should be in there more then the wing but i can see why Simmo plays him on a wing as he a pretty good tank and covers a lot of ground.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Yeo is too up and down, and makes too many poor decisions. Loves himself more than he loves dominating the play.

This is true at times but he is the only player we have that can play in the middle and then go forward and have an impact.

 

[Big_Tony]

Good changes. Last week we had one too many "samey" inside midfielders. A bit more balanced this week. Hopefully Redden gets an extended go in the middle this week. Would rather see Shuey skirting around the outside of packs or hitting the pack at pace. Leave the stand and deliver stuff to the likes of Priddis/Redden/Nelson.

Inside: Priddis, Redden, Nelson
Outside: Masten, Gaff
Both? Shuey, Yeo, Duggan

 

[Wadsworth]

Dood ..I don't watch WAFL, I'm not an utter footy head ...I have a real life

And the dots are staying, the world needs us to be different

It was a genuine question. I don't watch pre season games either.....

Just for you ....lotsa dots .......

What if I told you that there was a very simple way to Double the Dots? I introduce... wait for it... the colon::::::: (not the bowell type of colon::: the punctuation type::

Ive seen those Vids....mostly from 2012....a very long time ago

Yet again?

The last example being ...?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Its not that hard a position to play if youve been a mid for most of your footy life...

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

I've seen vids from 2012 that still get me excited.
Talents there. It's the ciaching and players application that is lacking. Same story as Jetta and Wellers/Shep before them.

 

[WUUBLY DUUBLY]

Yet again?

The last example being ...?

.... Morton, Dalziell, ..not to mention our dud drafts...McDougall....christ. Recruitment has been weak at the Eagles since mid 2000s

 

[Keys]

Makes you wonder how we made a GF last year when you say it like that

 

[squashface]

.... Morton, Dalziell, ..not to mention our dud drafts...McDougall....christ. Recruitment has been weak at the Eagles since mid 2000s

Wellingham, Cripps, Kennedy, Yeo, Ellis, Hill?

 

[Lolbert]

Wellingham, Cripps, Kennedy, Yeo, Ellis, Hill?

They are all failures, any recruit who does not match Judd, at the VERY LEAST, is considered a total failure. We should be plucking brownlow winners with our 4th round and rookie draft picks.

Well we did actually recruit a Brownlow medallist with a rookie pick

 

[WUUBLY DUUBLY]

Makes you wonder how we made a GF last year when you say it like that

..there have been 2 embarrassing GF performances in the past 10 yrs...2007 Gee r*ped Port and 2015 Hawks owned WCE. In our case, and being at the ground, our senior players weren't strong enough to execute when required. Making a GF means nothing, just ask Freo, winning is everything.
Priddas, Butler, Hurn, Lecca could of slotted goals that could of turned the game...but they cannot do it, same as 2012 finals series. Darling, Kennedy, Nic and Lecca oustandingly weak on GF day in 15...Darling was horrendous, as he was again against the Blues.
The past is the past, but, in 2012 and 2015 we have seen and proven that we have mentally fragile players...so...why keep banging our head against the brick wall. Start a fresh. Our back line is now possibly the best in the business. Guv, Barass, Shep and Wellers are elite. Build the team from here. Shuey is a gun, but most others around him are maxed out. Kennedy and Darling are soft...so...trade one of them.
In other words, try something new. We have tried these lads in the current guise ad nauseam.
