Staker

[sTeeL]

Everyones always out for Stakers head and im glad he had a great game. Took some fantastic marks in the Goal Square which is what we need(re Lynch Thread ) and yer the push off in the was hilarious.

That game made my night. Shame we lost the lkead by so much

That's because 9 times out of 10 he doesn't use it. I hope he keeps playing like he did against Sydney though because he was awesome.

Consistency has always been his problem though.

Staker has a mark AND goal nomination this week, everyone vote for him!

Career best form, although quite 2nd half

At least he back it up though http://www.*************.au/forums/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif and consecutive wins for West Coast, since round 6, been a long time between drinks!

A comment during tonight's game got me thinking - Staker was referrred to as our swingman which was Hunter's forte.

Based on form this year has Staker gone past Hunter?

 

[George_A_Romero]

Geez do you have to put a negative spin on things http://www.*************.au/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif I hope he proves you wrong.

Thanks for proving me wrong, BS.

Keep in mind he was on the pine for most the time.

Wonder if there was a flare up of the shin splints.

TD is a sod of a ground....

 

[Mastablingbling]

Another good game.

I can't remember the last time he strung a couple of quality ones together.

Bravo

STTAAAAAAAAAAAKER!!!!!!!!!! Played very well last night.

I hope his shins are OK.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Just keep him in the goal square

Staker has the safest pair of hands at the eagles. One grab overhead marks look routine for him.
Another great game from him last night, but i wonder why he didn't spend much time on the ground in the 2nd half? Was clearly our most potent forward.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Not anymore!

Seriously though, he was probably benched for the same reasons as Judd, Cousins and Glass. Rest

. Staker is going to be a gun, Leave him be. Who needs Fev when we have SuperStaker.

 

[Ljam]

He has really improved some of his body work was outstanding and he had three direct assists that I counted. Could be our X factor come finals as he seems extremely hard to match up on.

 

[wce4premiership]

It seems he nows what he has to do now and his marking is quite amazing.

I never knew how good his set shots were either but he seemed very good.

His set shots have improved out of sight since coming back from injury.

Staker marking has always been good but now he is backing it up with good kicking.

Great signs.

I now rescind my 'Staker is useless' thread of 2-3 years ago.

Too late !

It's there to be *bumped* for eternity

We need more from Staker.

He did bugger-all against the Kangas last week - should be able to have an impact against the Tigers.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Ridiculous report.

 

[greennick]

Ridiculous report.

Yeah, I think the umpire obviously saw it differently from his angle. Should be right at least.

 

[Biggie]

He will be fine.

Stupid charge.

 

[Missing Doogs]

Report will get thrown out.

He played well tonight, much better than last week.

When he gets out on a lead and puts up the dukes, just seems alot cleaner than seasons gone by. I remember when he played CHF when Ash was out in the past he was pushed out of contests and couldn't take a contested mark for his life. Much more confident tonight and good awareness around the goals for two oppurtunistic snaps.
