Just watched the EP v EF WAFL game. Some list observations.
1, Bennell - happy to delist end 2016.
2. Karpany - showed a lot today (actually pretty good last month) and worth keeping in 2017 (I know contracted in 2017) but looks possible for a senior run. I can see him hitting targets into our forward line
3. Nelson - bollocking and tough inside mid that shone out
4. Partington - he is really maturing and impacting games over the last 6 weeks and with more strength conditioning, he looks a keeper. The inside outside mid that we need and his foot skills are good.
5. Cole - what he did was pretty good and both Butler and Wellingham will have stiff competition for small defender roles in 2017
6. Lamb - just does not impact the game like he should. Not sure what he needs but he is frustrating
7. Brown and Emac played OK - Brown was slightly better that Emac.
8. McInnes - OK WAFL form but not looking AFL standard. If we get a trade, I would be OK with a 3rd or 4th rounder and take either Mason Shaw or Darcy Cameron
9. Duggan - let's put it down to 2nd year blues and look ahead in 2-17. He was OK but should be capable of igniting at this level
10. Redden - got enough of it but did not look like he had much class. Needs a clear preseason and lets see re-start his Eagles career.
11. Both Snadden and Mutimer looked OK and will benefit from the year. Too soon to know if they are long term keepers.
SPP played well and showed his toughness like he has at U18. His 2nd and 3rd efforts were noticeable. Not a lot of possessions (did kick 2 goals) but he held his own and would add something to the Eagles. Would love him as a 2nd rounder but will probably land in between our picks.
