NAB Challenge 2016

[Biggie]

Fit players who are missing:
Shuey
LeCras
Priddis
Mackenzie
Hurn
Naitanui
McGovern
Darling

So in other words, we've picked the weakest possible squad.

 

[Suma Magic]

Meh. At least we get to see the rooks in action

Yeah I love it. Happy to rest them for 2 and 3 and can't wait to see how the youngsters go.

 

[ZergMinion]

5 rookies in the squad, 2 list spots available for round 1. This should be good. Looking forward to Paddy Brophy presenting his case for an upgrade.

I'd make Hutchings Captain personally.

no to making a depth player captain.

Really excited to see karps in action on the back of a good pre season. In all seriousness there is a spot or two up for grabs with some injuries and maybe with some strong man up performances he is an outside chance at an early debut this year.

All it takes is a couple of ex-lions on the list.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Yes. I'd rate then both in our top 10. Take 2 top players out of any team fielding an especially young side and it will affect them greatly. Look at Melbourne, pushing out their senior players leaving them with an ultra young side. Young players need to be surrounded by senior players and bigger bodies to give them confidence. If they get pushed around it can sent their confidence for a long time

Still an under 24 team...

Cripps Gaff Wellingham Jetta Sheppatf to top up the East Perth squad
.

 

[Avalor]

Schoey as stand in captain for the crows game. A bit of a surprise there.

Yeah still think Hutch has the best leadership skills of that group but Schoey is more secure in B22 and still a good choice.

With Cripps unlikely to play, Karps has a big opportunity to prove himself. Hope he steps up but not holding breath.

 

[SloppyJoe]

That Andrew Gaff just doesn't miss a game, does he?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

One word.... HOTLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do agree on a lot of things you say but i disagree you on this one. Its time to give guys who are seen as potential leaders the responsibility. They obviously have given schoey the job but even Gaff deserves it as he has shown that he could lead this side one day. Even tho its nab, its a good opportunity give potential suiters a go and frankly Hutch career at the eagles isnt even stable.

 

[SpaceClef]

HOW MUCH BETTER DOES THIS LOOK COMPARED WITH THE TRIPE!?

Umm... yeah, ummm... ummm. yeah I agree... um... I think Gaff...um... will be a great future...um... club leader. A little bit mean perhaps

Time for a pull

Good to see them putting some comments to the photos and identifying the players!!

 

[Mickey Rae]

One word.... HOTLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but you just cannot say it once ... it's got to be "hotline, hotline" like the wonderful hit song from the 80's!

Has Kennedy picked up an injury?

 

[Suma Magic]

Has Kennedy picked up an injury?

No he hasn't, I just missed him... Sorry for the alarms

 

[Biggie]

 

[MrKK]

Looking forward to seeing Allen, I feel he's going to be a beast in a few years.

 

[Dark Sharks]

I love the fact we're resting so many players and giving the new breed a crack.

Might be the last we see of Lamb in an eagles jumper... herpa derp diddlydong.

 

[Always Ballin]

Our year.

 

[Godfather32]

One word.... HOTLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm expecting him to dominate this pre-season, force his way onto the main squad and into our best 22 and then win the Brownlow.
