At times they have , Sam Mitchell a few weeks saying they are hoping for another three or four good years from NicNat but also indicated it could be compromised and they are really not sure how Nic will go and the reason its slowly slowly .

Good for both teams to have a low key hit out to get some of the rust out. Hopefully Vardy is ok.

I thought Watson looked quite good. I’m surprised that Karpany hasn’t come on as he’s looked your best in some of the EP games.

Missing Fyfe, Hill and Logue.......and Bennell.

The outs were more even in the second half when we were missing Fyfe, Sandilands, Hill, Walters, Bennell, Cox, Logue and Hughes.

Still not as many as West Coast as I think you were missing Kennedy, Naitanui, Gaff, Shuey, Darling, McGovern, Hurn and Redden and possibly Cripps?

Hopefully both teams are closer to full strength next week

Haven't you heard? They are just making sure they aren't overworking him!

Obeanie1 will be happy to explain it.

Sounds like you and some others are hoping Naitanui's knee is rooted just so you can say you were right and I was wrong! Which is quite sad really!

Reported he played 15 min of full contact match sim at training last week. If we see him next week it will be in the 2nd half and less than 50% game time I would imagine.

Will be surprised if Nic plays AFL round 1, will need a couple of WAFL games at least.

Could be holding him back from JLT 2 now that Vardy is under a cloud. Maybe taking caution over any injury possibility that could prevent him from making Round 1.

As I mentioned earlier today, he seemed upbeat about making an appearance when interviewed at 3/4 time.

I want to see him back as much as anyone, having had an ACL myself it's the most frustrating thing to go through as an athlete.

What I can't stand is the utter bullshit and spin the club has surrounded him with, dangling the NN carrot in front of the fans as a way of driving their financials.

He's too raw surely? Going to see a lot of McInnes this year unfortunately

Find it strange that the eagles didn't try to draft Scott Jones with a earlier draft.Always thought they may have a suspect ruck this year with nic nat,Lycett coming back from huge injuries and always a worry that Vardy is always a injury away from another long term injury.

I see this as a real problem. We let many easy goals out the back last year as well. Our backs are too slow one on one once the ball hits the ground.
Perhaps that is why we are trying Jetta back there. We have a difficult defense to get through but once it gets past our half backs, there is 50m of open space with 1 or 2 opposition players running into easy goals.

couldn't watch it but it seems to be a recurring thing when Schoey plays. Players just seem to get away from him and set up a loose man

I find a lot of our draft choices strange. We definitely took a big risk not getting an extra backup ruck considering all three of our main list rucks are so injury prone and Olango looks to be years away from playing AFL.

Shame for Vardy.

Hopefully it isn't too long out - but adductors take time. And it take a while to get back to full explosiveness.

Some of the younger kids looked pretty good today, but the prepetual issue of the midfield keeps coming up time and time again

Although not a star studded mid line up, the purples almost walked it out with ease too many times.

We seem to actively avoid midfielders, I see young Mr Constable who a lot of folks around here thought we should draft went ok today albeit in a team that got flogged by GC.:huh:

How did Lycett go?
Click to expand...

Official sponsor report. He was shit.

Kicked a ripping goal early on and was generally pretty good for a lead up. But didn't get much of the ball. And probably had more possessions than hitouts won.

Yeah it was a scratchy and he probably wasn't going to try to snap anyone in a typical Lycett tackle. But he looked pretty ineffective in general.

Blew some cobwebs out at the very least. He's missed a lot of footy and needs continuity to get back to his best, which we know is good.
