Analysis Changes vs. Lions

[Double the Fist]

He said LeCras had had good games and bad games this year, he thought the previous two performances had been fairly good.

He said that about Priddis IIRC

 

[Hap Hapablap]

To be honest I had thought you were one of the posters who'd been against him for years, must've got you confused with someone else

if you're talking about priddis. then yes.

simpson. no

[Double the Fist]

Adam Trealor burst through two eagles players who took three half assed steps then gave up.

Nah, Nic. Watch the game and some of the pathetic, pathetic efforts at chasing and tackling in the last 1/4.

 

[ghost82]

Take the party bus and keep on driving all the way to Punt Road. They're famous for fans acting ridiculously.

Mind you they can at least point to 35 years of disappointment and despair as the reason they go feral.

yes that comment wasn't said tongue in cheek. do you always take things literally....

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I don't question the passion NN has for the game...JK too. Priddis also, he just can't compete anymore as he would like.

But there are so many players it's very hard to say about, Nic. Come back, we need your infectious pressure and enthusiasm.

Father time catches up with us all, there is no shame in it, the only shame is not realising when it has, lecras priddis etc...

 

[frenchconnection]

Priddis and LeCras will never be dropped as they refuse to play for EP.

It's the only explanation I can come up with...

Well just drop them then, and let them sulk

 

[frenchconnection]

A third year Alec Waterman would be just the midfield tonic about now

Yes what a tragedy that was him getting glandular fever which is a bummer to get over. Has anybody who's in the know heard how young Alec is going these days?

 

[wadistance]

I’m sick of the general public calling the ‘play partington’ call. Most of the posters are just piggybacking on someone else’s comment. The poor kids going to have 18 disposals, 3 tackles and 2 points in game 1 and get savaged

 

[ndot]

It will be such a slap in the face for us eagles fans next year having NN dominate (with the no 3rd man up rule), with priddis plodding at his feet and Mitchell up in coaches box.

Such a waste.

Only 24 years to go

Question: are you going to be spamming the board with "such a waste" all night? If so, I will check out now. You've already dribbled that on the Gentlemanly Discussion thread.

I think everyone will be stoked if he gets those stats.

I'm fully expecting him to get closer to 5 touches and be outbodied and overawed. The melts will be intense.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a game. They need exposure eventually

I really don't think that is the case at all; most people just want him to get a chance.

I would expect a few FB nuffies to have a crack, mind.

Football not really an option anymore, just wants to get back to being able to have a normal lifestyle. Doesn't go to the football as much as he used to, sick of people asking how he is and feeling sorry for him so he sits in the outer with a hoodie and sunnies so he can watch in peace.

What a shame and disappointing for him. Good luck to him in whatever path he now chooses.

"Play Parto!" has simply become a catchcry for supporters who are sick of seeing senior players turn in slow, insipid performances and would instead like to see fresh, enthusiastic blood come into the 22.
Parto has become the face of that undercurrent even though they may never have seen him play.

I have only seen him and Venables on utube highlight vids. I don't watch WAFL - I get kept up-to-date by forumers on here. That doesn't mean it's not as clear as day that Masten, Priddis and Lecras are done and need to be replaced with Yoooooof.

 

[Bender_]

Big day.

 

[Mulldogg]

We all know what's going to happen at 4:25pm WST. Sunday game so Parto will be named in the 25 man squad to appease the "nuffies" (what the club used to call fans) and then come 3pm tomorrow he'll be named in the guts for East Perth.

At least the Royals game is telecast this weekend. Hell I may even head along to Claremont Oval AND record it just to doubly confirm what exactly it is that Partington should be working on...

I don't know much about glandular fever.
How did Heeney recover from it this year in a few weeks?
Is there a varying level of seriousness with glandular fever?

The problem is no-one except the coaches knows what he should be working on. What I don't understand is why Simmo refuses to tell us what the issues are. He had no problem telling the press multiple times re: Sheeds issues i.e. defensive running game.

 

[eagles rule]

Big day.

Mark down today's date in the calendar B/Footy melts coming soon ..

why open up a developing player to public scrutiny at that level.
