NAB Challenge 2016

[boondy]

It was his second game in a year and a half...

Probably a Decade

 

[Coinz]

Was walking across kitchener park post game, saw dom sheed jump into a toyota hilux. Wrong brand mate, disapointed

 

[WCEswift]

So I found a video of Eagles big footy board singing to shuey post game

 

[boondy]

I liked Yeo at CHF . Speedsters like him and Cripps open up the rebound attack . The amount of times a little kick back from the fwd pocket in a rebound forward attack hit JK.

 

[Pottering]

Has lycett, duggan and nelson done enough to earn a round 1 selection?

Duggan and Nelson did enough to ensure they'll be strongly considered but Lycett was poor I thought. He appears to be one of those ruckmen who can only operate at full potential when they are the number one man.

Thoughts from the game

NicNat - looks primed for a big one. Still havent seen him play forward much, maybe keeping it on the downlow until the season.

Schofield - much better 1 on 1 at elast initially, got beaten by Joe D a few times but that kid is a gun.

Nelson - keeps improving, solid, good disposal, mongrel, much to like. probably gets a gig round 1, otherwise unlucky

Shuey - gun; set for a big year

Priddis - keeps on keeping on

Gaff - will benefit from interchange cap; AA coming up

Shep - hasnt missed a beat; hopefully more of the same, maybe midfield minutes hopefully.

Darling - Like the midfield rotation, good use of his strength and fitness; plus Simmo keeping options open in case more mids go down

Yeo - much better

JK and LeCras - going through the motions today

Gov - Great disposal, not sure Simmo knows exactly what to do with Gov at this stage. No ruck work today, probably wont be used that way

Duggan - ok, needs more composure; Sheed ahead of him if fit.

Hill - in good nick, better getting involved in mid and defence

Cripps - seemed a bit down

Giles was poor in the East Perth scratch match beaten by east freo ruckmen . Lycett looks a far better option what I seen this weekend

Stood over Daniher and gave him lip for being called HTB against Karps. God i love this kid

 

[MrKK]

Having the flexibility to play Gov forward or back...hhhnnnnnnngggg!!!!

Also lol at the graphic of Nelson's draft physical ratings, made him look like the biggest spud around. Unfortunately those things don't measure footy brain and general toughness, where he excels.

theres a little bit of beau waters in him and hopefully he turns into another beau waters (minus the injuries).

I thought Lycett was pretty good around the ground and up forward, didn't get much of a chance in the ruck, but he only had 62% game time as well. Did more than enough to play 1st round.

Heart is the most important and a huge equalizer imo

Thats why he slid to us late. Simmo was ecstatic with the nelson selection and he has the hallmarks to be a 200 gamer. That left foot snap for goal from 45m out was sublime.

People need to let him play himself in. took Sinclair a few games

 

[Doughboy]

Winning a NAB game is like dancing with your sister. But it sounded like a pretty solid hit out

Only listened to it on the radio. Nelson obviously impressed?

Loved that, personally, as I'm sure that Daniher would have had no issue giving it back had the roles been reversed.

His disposal is very good. That finish on the left to kick his goal was very Mitchell like.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Love watching Yeo in the middle, winning the ball at pace - and such a threat down forward...

But... his decision making is woeful and kicking only marginally better.

It is almost like his legs are running too fast for his brain to catch up.

Picked the wrong option going forward a lot tonight

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

enjoyed every moment of that. watched it with a bummers supporter the hopelessness is starting to sink in cheers

 

[eaglespremiers]

Is Le Cras not good enough

So if we include the forgotten Frenchman then who's the unlucky player? Duggan or Masten?

 

[avishka5]

Not gonna lie but im super excited by what jack darling offers us this year. could be in for a season where he bags 50-45 goals but also has a massive impact down the ground and in the midfield. Lycett will have to step up a bit as well if we want to push jack into the middle. Loved simmos plan to chuck him behind centre.

The man crush power of balance has shifted

Nelson -> Duggan

Let's just keep Sheppard playing where he is.......

 

[Farang83150]

Just watching the 1st quarter again, seeing that filth Goddard try to ankle tap Priddis just solidifies my belief that the blokes a dead set flog.
Bennell looked the best Ive seen him for awhile, thought he went ok today.

 

[bUCKET__]

can see shep having a lot more ball this season. Could be AA by the end of the year.

Only problem with Sheppard's game tonight was that the witches hats he was navigating didn't give him enough contests to dominate.

Don't worry Nelson put's him back in his box
