I don’t think he was shocking but he was definitely timid and conservative with the ball. Not the only one guilty of that in the second half, to be fair.Been wrong with players before and hopefully am here. I want him to succeed. It was a shocking game though and an opportunity lost. I'm also on the look out for players who break long periods of positive ball movement with momentum killers and Brander had a couple of shockers. Part of it is coaching but if you are taking posession midfield in space but go backwards without looking forward at options then in a big Balls In no no. Do that and fluff the possession resulting in 5minutes of footy stuck at half back, its a droppable offence.
Pretty sure Redden isn't available.Out ryan in winder

Brander has the mcdougirls about him.Not really fair to be comparing Brander To West IMO.
Brander was a high draft pick.
West is a see ball get ball player and is really IMO a depth player.
Has limited skills but at least he tackles and gets hold of it which is what we need right now.
The thing I don't like about Brander is that he plays timid.
If he can't get that out of his game, he won't make it.
At least it’s not on the line this week.Next week again already?
this season just drags on and on, end it.
In: Winder, Witherden, Redden (if fit), Williams
Outs: Ryan, Rotham, Hutchings, Allen (rested)
OUT: M Hutchings, L Ryan (inj), O Allen (rest)
IN: A Witherden, L Foley, J Brander (last chance saloon)
Out: Ryan (inj), Allen (managed), Hurn (managed), Hutchings
In: Winder, Williams, Witherden, Brander
Hurn to be “managed” so he gets to play his 300th in the derby
Allen looks and plays banged up. Needs a few weeks off IMO
Oscar is injured - he cannot hold the marks he did at the start of the year and needs to get his arm right fixed if we are to do anything in the finals. It is also now impacting his ability to hold a tackle.Not sure on changes just yet but anyone on here who's advocated a "rested" or "managed" can give their head a wobble.
1. We're no position to afford that luxury.
2. We're a month from finals. No resting, quite the opposite in fact, pedal to the metal until the Grand Final.
3. We've suffered recently by making too many changes from week to week. Simmo has admitted as much.
4. Everyone gets a week off between Rd 23 and the finals, barring any more COVID drama.
Without him we are a very real possibility not to make finals. We are struggling to make the 8. We have a number of fringe players we have to include through injury and lack of quality (just the result of past draft position and Perth not being a destination for trade). Every possible AFL quality player we can squeeze in is a bonus. We beat the saints beacuse of the efforets of 6-8 expernienced players. Allen does more than many.Oscar is injured - he cannot hold the marks he did at the start of the year and needs to get his arm right fixed if we are to do anything in the finals. It is also now impacting his ability to hold a tackle.
Have a look at the footage from the last 2 games. And this week we expect him to ruck against 2 genuine rucks! The guy is wearing an arm splint at training FFS
Looks like we playing Saturday. And another 6 day break in a row.

Collingwood has been told it will play Saturday v WC, rather than Sunday as originally planned. Allows the Eagles enough time to quarantine at home before Round 21.
That’s a seven day break.
Hutchings - didn’t really want him in the side, not sure what role he was playing but he didn’t do much. Brander into the 22.
The update from Tom Morris from that article says its going to be a Saturday game now.
And we played on Saturday just gone.
We complained about back to back six days breaks because we went Monday-Sunday-Saturday.
This is the sacred home of those that underestimate opposition sides.I don’t think anyone would suggest resting Allen if they thought we wouldn’t win without him.
4:15.
4:15 isnt too bad I guess4:15.
Have to play Saturday so can quarantine back in perth for 7 days prior to the game which will be Sunday the following week.
4:15 is a crappy time as it runs through the kids dinner/bath/bed time (sydney based). Will log off and watch it on replay after 7pm. There's worse things in life than having an Eagles game to sit down and watch on a Saturday night though.
