Changes vs Melbourne, melt away!

[squashface]

yes.

It’s not quite like the Priddis debate when you’re the only one questioning his spot in the side

 

[Godfather32]

When Kennedy’s cooked he’ll tell us. He’ll retire gracefully at that time. And he’ll be very hard to replace.

A few weeks ago he was excellent against Essendon. But for inaccuracy he would’ve kicked 6 on Hurley.

He’s still fine. He had an off night.

Nah

 

[Tugga27]

how many games does one have to play before form stops being factored into match selection?

I reckon it's not just about the amount of games.

Quality counts for a lot.
At his best JK is a match winner.

He's not at his best now but as someone said, still gets the best or 2nd best defender.
If he stays on the park, he will kick us 50 plus goals.

Cole was excellent a fortnight ago against South Fremantle. He was slowed down a bit by a very heavy knock to the jaw after a courageous effort in the back pocket. Next WAFL game he was rested.

Came in for Duggan against Collingwood and thought he was below his best. Hopefully he is better for the run and bounces back. To be honest I was looking at our rebounding backs in todays Beagles game to see who might be next in line because I was a bit concerned that Cole doesn’t give us enough D50 rebound and run. Thought Watson was the most likely looking with Rotham. But I doubt they would drop Cole again after just one game back.

Whilst on the subject of running defenders in the Beagles, IMO Mutimer has improved and has had a consistent year.

Playing as a mid now, suits him better. Has become a bit of a tackling machine.

it's amazing how questioning someone's form suddenly means i'm calling for him to be delisted and his salary forcibly re-collected

That very much depends on what criteria you are using for selection.
Simpson said only last week that having Kennedy in the side makes us a better team. But what would he know?

 

[Patron]

Do you actually watch the games?

JK is lauded for his pressure in the forward line.

On half backs, Nelson offers little. Watson long way ahead in all areas.

 

[Chris_6678]

Any truth the rumours of Nic Nat doing a serious injury? Just going by his insta or maybe be looking into it to much.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Great to see the Beagles output.

In Petruccelle Waterman
Our Cripps Kennedy (managed)

Cannot go in too tall and leave JK in a Perth to get fit.

 

[LittleGreekGod]

nah you're wrong I definitely hate JK and definitely think he's a bad footballer

I guessed that there was something from deep down coming out.
Each to their own I guess.
Cheers

 

[eagles rule]

Outs ; Cripps( inj )- Ryan( sore)
Ins ;Petch -Waterman

I`ve made Ryan take a rest looked to be going at 3/4 pace for a lot of the game ,I admire his courage but possibly needs a rest ..
JK is entitled to a few off games ,there were a few times he was in a position to be used in a goal chain but ignored so did get to dangerous spots ..

I think the goal options have opened up for WCE SO not as focused on just JK to be the match winner ..

Thought the same thing

 

[amazingjoshy]

^^ Simmo didnt sound all that sure about his ankle injury on Sat on the radio. Said he was "pretty sore"

Hopefully not as bad as that sounds, but doubt he plays this week

Out: NN, Cripps
In: Petch, Waterman

 

[Shuestar13]

Hmm... bit worrying. There was a post in the Non Eagles thread by a Fremantle supporter mentioning something also...
Fingers crossed it isn’t anything serious.

 

[ep2018]

Hate to sound like a defeatist and I know we did it without NN last year but, our season is coooked without him. Hoping he will be fine.

 

[ep2018]

Got a legit source saying he will miss several weeks, with hope that he can come back for finals. Not sure what sort of injury he has done but it sounds like our medicos are worried about possible flow on effects to his knee. Damn.

What sort of legit source?

Someone who would know. I promised them I would never reveal who they were so I cant say any more than that.

Well f***.
I'm guessing high ankle injury similar to Rioli.
I think we need to all grab a shovel and go dig up the stadium

 

[ep2018]

Makes me appreciate our flag last year even more, how we can play on such a shitty surface for half the year and and still win it all.
