Jako and Wirra have been named in the squad to play Ireland later this year. looks like Jako will be the goal keeper. Hope he busts a few Irish heads.

heres a little bit more on their selection http://www.footygoss.com/modules.ph...=article&sid=6589&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

Jako goes as far as saying its the highlight of his career!

Why no Kerr?

llosis · Oct 7, 2003

Jako sounds amped!! Good on him I say!
I think Wirra will be an asset with his all round skills as well.

No Judd and Kerr from last year. At least we won't be subjected to that sick Pav / Kerr embrace this year like we did last year. Sometimes you just have to know where the line is...

Why no Cuz? Misses out AGAIN???

theorangeapple · Oct 7, 2003

pfft this venture has totally lost its appeal IMO.
How u can have a supposidly reprsentative australian team ..captained by a player who is not all australian!! in Crawford - just cause hes on tv with the coach- thats how!

And u would think that Judd/ Kerr would have more ability then the likes of kirk, Carr and Crouch, Bizzell!!!

Juddy must have knocked it bak otherwise this team is an absolutre disgrace.

I wouldn't.

Congrats to Wirra and Jako!

Question though.......If Wirra has agreed to play does that mean he has made his decision on where he will be next year?

If only signatures were not turned off.

Kenny that is a classic. Surely you're kidding....

Kenny_01 · Oct 7, 2003

You guys obviously havn't seen Matt Carr play much. I bet you he has better skills on both sides of the body than Kerr, and is a terrific mark. In fact, I'd rate him more skillful than most on our list. I'd also rate him as our best shot on goal inside 50.

I'm not saying he's a better player, but his skills are very good.

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.

IMO you guys so over-rate Kerr and his skills. I don't rate his skills as highly as all of you. I saw him play well about 4 times this season, and I can name the games.... St. Kilda, Sydney, Essendon and the derby.

But we still love him lots Kenny

Kerr a nice boy that Eagle fans like.
Carlyp say to Kenny: Leave Kerr alone or she will send Uncle Vinnie and the boys to visit you!

It's just my opinion though. There are a few players I think are very under-rated by your supporters (Glass being one) and under-rated players by the rest of the competition (Embley), and there are a couple I think you over-rate (Kerr, Hunter).

Kerr was great at finding the footy in his 2 seasons but you hardly saw that this year until the last 4 or so rounds.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Fair nuff!

Kerr didn't have a terrific this season, so that means we think over rate him?

SO whenever one bloke has a bad season that means he is over rated? We all know how good Kerr is, so just leave it at that.

No-one seems to have a problem calling Justin Longmuir over-rated or Croad the worst player on the face of this earth.

But yes, I think he's over-rated for what he has shown. If you don't, then great, that's your opinion.

ozzult · Oct 7, 2003

I wouldn't call Croad the worst player on earth, but if you don't think Croad is over rated or at the very least was over rated when he joined Freo you have rocks in your head.

Of course I think he was over-rated when we got him. He's not over-rated now though- not many people rate him.

i just heard on 6pr that lyon wanted 5 other eagles to play:
Judd, Kerr, Matera, Embley and Gardiner- but they couldnt due to surgery.

At least there is some consilation...to the dockers having more representatives.

Hey Kerr did not have a bad season...his season was just not as good as last one...thats all...in the context of the competition he still had a very good season and, together with Chick, was one of the best tacklers in the league...

Just thought I would clear that up.....

Kerr's body stayed the same and the competition got stronger. If he hits the Gym, he'll reach an elite level... if not then he'll struggle again.
