Gags and Stevo?

[Blue Red and Gold]

Learning the trade slowly

If he wants to play in the midfield then you would want him to play on th ebest players week in week out. He would learn a LOT from that.

I.E Stinger, its such a dissapointment, he was just coming good as a midfielder in his own right.

I seriously must watch different games, as I concur with most Eagle fans and query the fuss.

But I guess reality will hit home when we look at him objectively playing for another side.

Just a question: has Stenglein ever won a game for us, or in fact been tagged himself due to the danger he presents to the opposition.?

Hasn't been tagged himself but has been taken away from the center square plenty of times because he was getting clearence after clearence

We have argued this point b4 but he was the tap target because his opponent was worried about losing his tag (Stenglein) so we directed the ball to him.
This doesn;t equate to Stinger being a brilliant centre clearance expert, simply how good Clarke is at implementing a game strategy

Im not saying he is an out and out star but he is a quality player and a player who we will miss. He has done everything right since coming to our footy club.
I dont think he would of been tagged, but Im sure every club are aware of his danger.
Im not sure if Edwards gets tagged either only because he is underrated but IMO if you can stop him you are going to have a good day.

 

[- PC -]

Gags has always impressed as very neat good footballer, but missing that something to play well at AFL level - flexibility.

The 2005 delists will be:
Gags
Shirley

Smart - retired
Carey - Retired
Burns - Retired

With the spare spot that needs to be also filled on the list that will leave us with 6 draft picks (excluding trades) in a weakesh draft.
I'll be surprised if we wanted any more draft picks than that.

I wont comment on Gags as I feel I am too far from everyday action but was he allowed extensive pre-season time? But I will agree he wouldnt hurt us if traded in the way Wellman hurt us.

Also you should include Stenglein unless you consider it just a body swap?

I actually watched the last 8 games and I got excited at what was on show and I felt with some tweaking of the list we could get back in the 8(6-8 only for 2005)

BRING IT ON

I have said b4 your no mug if your on an AFL list. But in benchmarking against the leagues best, many cannot make the transition from average to very good, and that's what all clubs are looking for - the next Macleod, Roo...

Gags is a good average footballer, subject to the system.

Stenglein is a body swap as you say.

And yes we should make the 8 next year

We should always be aiming for the 8 (though obviously a flag is out of reach).

It doesn't take much to turn things around ... only need to look at the Dees this year.
