Oppo Camp Non Eagles Discussion thread - 2017 edition - Part 2

Sure - I think most football pundits would acknowledge in a 2 game series, with his peers, minus one D.Martin - Fyfe was the standout across both matches.

But it's a round ball and mean nothing, right?

Sure, on this basis I rate Goddard to be one of the best goal keepers in Australia also because the IR series holds so much weight

Get back to us when he's doing it in an AFL season.

Indeed. Matt Ryan is getting tips from Brendon, especially after Matt’s effort on the weekend.

He has some great saves, but his howlers are howling and brain farts are deadly. I dont see him as premier league quality

 

[Beutbrute]

He's learning from the master then

West Coast won't win a flag until they find that big-bodied International Rules midfielder.

It's just patently silly.

Fyfe with Neale/Walters/Blakely/2 Hills/Bennell/Cerra/Brayshaw is a very strong unit.

Is that it ? Doesnt scream premiership midfield
Fyfe is a gun no denying but his average disposal can hurt

Neale and blakley are great ball winner but like priddis hack blind kicks and can be turnover merchants

You have some very flakey outside types in the hills and walters . Great users but soft

Bennell has talent but cant get on the park

Brayshaw and cerra ? Who knows . I didnt rate brawshaw top 2 but cerra looks silk. Pretty good pickups TBH . Lets see how they develop and transition to afl before counting those chickens .

Its your lack of quality talls and utilities that will be a big problem IMO .
You dont have the scoring power to win a premiership and haven't invested in elite quality talls to win you big games .

Yes richmond won the premiership but that was more to do with the magic carpet ride the afl rules gave them not the team make up .

Adelaide was the best team across 22 games and there talls were a massive reason for that

 

[avishka5]

so its confirmed.
L.Duggan>>>> N.Fyfe

Depends, how does Duggan go in international rules?

 

[new breed]

Liam's Dad is a very solid unit ...when Liam fills out to full capacity I doubt the Optus Stadium will be standing for very long ....

His school does tours where they play international rules.

So i have no doubts over duggan killing it.

you saw me and you didn't say hi.

Barrel Chested muscle and I never realised Liam was Sri Lankan

 

[Abed]

I stopped reading at Fyfe - he is a top 3 player in the comp.

Danger, Dusty, and Franklin say hi.

Amazing how much fyfe makes everyone appear better than they are.

A midfield of Neale Walters blakeley hills Bennell Cerra brayshaw all of a sudden doesn’t sound impressive.

4 downhill skiers, a butcher, a midget and two 18 year olds. Certainly a midfield that can be matched.

 

[Galileo9]

Danger, Dusty, and Franklin say hi.

Seriously, there r people who think Fyfe is s**t? He is every bit as good as danger or dusty.

 

[Bigtrev41]

So are you getting the point yet that he was top 3 in 2015 but not currently? He needs to lift his game to get back to that level which is what I said to begin with.

There is no metric to support Fyfe 2016 or 2017 being a top 3 overall player in the comp.

Other than being a top 5 contested ball winner, combined with the best contested mark of any midfielder in the comp in season 2017.

Dominant in the air and on the ground... Fair combination.

 

[matt_bas]

And the discussion started on our board with ep2006, Some of your guys comment on our board as well you know

He's not one of ours

Yet all that and couldn't make an All-Australian squad of 40? What a season
Top 3? He didn't even make the top 30 last year

 

[FatPizza]

Why are all Yeo people talking about Fyfe? Yeo should all know that whilst Fyfe's form will be like a Yeo Yeo, Elliot Yeo will show all of Yeo who the best player is. Yeo can count on it.

Look, Fyfe absolutely dominated prior to his injury and the subsequent mismanagement of it. He was an absolute pleasure to watch. This year he looked like he was getting over it at last and played some decent footy, took some good marks and fed the ball out to his team mates. The difference between Fyfe pre injury and Fyfe this year is the lack of absolute dominance this year. I don’t know if it was due to his role as captain, coach instruction or the injury but his dominance of the game and hurt factor just wasn’t the same. Still played well and among the best but not the absolute beast he was. As I said before, hope he can get back to that but he isn’t there yet. Martin and Dangerfield did it again this year, Fyfe was down the pecking order with a few others in front of him.

I never said he was s**t. But he's currently not in the top three, either.

Don't think there's much wrong with what he said tbh. Butts was just a good solid team man, but every side does need them as not everyone can be a star.

Guys a spud.

I mean C'mon he can't even kick half as far as Shannon Hurn and besides some fancy pants dance moves and being a South Aussie champ, when you put Hurn and Butler in the best Half Backs to every play for West Coast discussion, most will ask who is Sam Butler.

Hurn is the captain of the mighty West Coast Eagles and his fishing prowess is second to none.
His tree trunk legs just confirm he knows where to place his tackle amongst the tree branches along the river bank in order to catch the tastiest fish.
