In: 1994 premiership team - could beat this mob the way they're playing

Just out of curiosity, how old are you?

32, why?

32, why?

Just assumed you were just a boy due to your name. So I wasn't sure if you had actually seen the 94 team play. You were 8, carry on...

Yeah I remember em well. The 86 stands for 1986, the year I and indeed the Eagles were born (though 87 was the first season of course).

INs Bold the ones I agree with
JK, Ahchee, Sheed, Venables, Barrass, Watson, Petruccelle

OUTS
Mcinnes, Waterman, Masten, Hutchings (see schofiled), Schofield (WAFL material), Jetta (yep), Nelson (WAFL material) (Lecca has one more chance)

Will be surprised and disappointed if Venables come straight in after that injury lay off.

It means we learned nothing from bring Ryan straight back in without a game or two in the WAFL.

Watch JK and Darling work in tandem off the ball live at the game. It is something to behold. They both work together to create space for each other. Take players who have played so much footy together out of the forward line and throw in a bunch of kids, of course our organisation suffers. It takes many years to develop intrinsic understanding of running patterns. Not much we can do about it in the short term unfortunately.

One of the more intelligent posts Ive read for quite some time.

This goes for the entire side not just Darling and JK. When team mates play long enough together they know who is doing what, when, where and how. It can be a beautiful thing to watch when a team gets there. Hawks had it for 3-4 years.

I see a few calls for Jetta and Nelson to be chopped but Duggan escapes criticism. To me this is interesting.

Duggan been great this season. If we're gonna drop every player who had a poor game last night we won't be able to field a team.

Jetta and Nelson, along with a few others don't have the formline to present as a defence.

He likes it when the pressure goes off that’s why he should be in the wafl ..

Being at the game noticed on a couple of occasions Jetta was on his own waving for the ball to be kicked to him (RHB) but instead (Hurn I think it was) kicked the ball into a congested pack (LHB) and the ball came bouncing back into the Essendon forward line, fortunately Hurn saved it and it was rushed through for a point. However had it been kicked to Jetta he could have run down the wing and possibly found a player free for a goal but of course that's all hypothetical! Don't think Jetta is always used to Advantage.

When he played earlier in the season and had quite a good game from all reports where was Fraser used in that game? Was it in the ruck or forward line?

 

[ArdentEagle]

Hard on big Fraze to come in and have an impact when he's used very sporadically...Some people are being harsh for mine.

I'm thinking we need to go small ball...Keep Gov up forward, TB back in down back if he's okay to play and have a mosquito fleet to win the ball at the feet of Gov and turn them inside out.

Gov isn't a forward doesn't play that role well at all. Hunter and mcintosh were good

He looked more dangerous than any other tall we had when finally swung him up there.

Simpson should have moved him in the 2nd quarter up forward. Coach has no idea

McGovern burnt him as well and kicked inboard straight on an Essendon players chest. Not the only time he turned it over either

Which is it? He's no good as a forward, or he is and should've been moved forward earlier?

You can't have it both ways.

When all the carnage was happening early, Essendon were establishing a massive lead in possessions, which they retained till the end of the game.

There’s been a lot of talk of our inexperience; but it’s also true that we picked a side containing lots of low-production players. I’d like to see some players who can find the ball, to go along with those who get it less than 15 times a game.

To that end, I’d consider Partington, Ainsworth and a recall for Sheed. Also recall pre-injury Shuey, please.

If he had more than 1 quarter to get into it he'd be far more damaging.

Burned him or stuffed a kick up trying to be too aggressive?

I mentioned last week Gov isnt as good as many make out with his kicking. Goes for some overly aggressive passes infield and often misses targets and turns it over in dangerous positions.

Was told by some I was talking out my arse and didnt know what I was talking about.

Come on man, there are dating sites for things like that.

True well Darling is out for the next two and JK at least one.

That means against Adelaide we have to be creative and inventive going forward. Use Gov or Vardy just to compete and provide a target.
