TOPIC:

Must be the worst decision maker in the AFL. Can't kick, puts team mates under pressure and turns the footy over more than most. One of those blokes that you are glad they are not on your team, because even though he touches the footy 30 times a game his efficiency is terrible and doesn't hurt opposition teams. If eagles are building he should not be there.
Thoughts??

i would have 10 of him rather than 40 or wellingham or gaff.

Bit harsh CW, Priddis is not elite on the skills, bit slow, but just an honest toiler that rarely plays a bad game. Thought he was a jet at Subi and glad he got a crack at AFL. Think plenty worse than him going round

I hover around this site because there is a lot of reasoned footy discussion by people who have been around footy a long time. I know this is a hot topic on another site but many of those who contribute to that discussion footy knowledge ends at the chant ' Go eagles go'.

Priddis got some weaknesses but jeez I can understand why he would be one of the first picked each week. A solid AFL footballer.

Id have him at North, absolutely.
He is a workhorse and never gives up. Even last night the bloke just gave his all in terrible conditions. Priddis is the best player at that club. The rest of the eagles side are pure lazy. No opposition club fears them especially in Perth. Good luck to Mr.Simpson, he is going to need it.

In some ways Priddis is a bit like Barlow, bit slow, not a great kick but gets a lot of the ball. The main difference is Barlow has other big bodied mids around him and a couple of skillful quicker players to take the ball. They should keep Priddis and look at the other mini mids they have.

The worst decision maker in the AFL is probably not one of the players - maybe an "ex" player but not a current player.
I think the previous comment hits the nail on the head. Priddis needs the quicker players of the midfield to feed off of him better than they have this season.

The bloke was never a silk midfielder, he,s a battler that if you remember was pressed into service after the Cousins, Judd debacle/departures, he makes blues, but is a worker and trier, at the moment he is really all the eagles have, they have a crap midfield and the rest of the team is ordinary. I reckon they are drifting along to no where's vile, Simmo is about as ordinary as the team in couching ability and won't see 3 yrs out,

He never was or never will be a slick midfielder, looks reasonable in a crap team cause he gets a lot of the footy. If the bloke had skills he be dangerous. Anyone can try hard and get it, it's just what happens after that. I personally don't think he would get a game in your hawks/swans/cats/freo midfield. To be honest would he get a game in any other top 8 team besides kangas??

priddis would get a game in most sides in a better midfield he would get the just accolades he deserves. west coast pigeons midfield is the worst in the comp. greg Williams wasn't overly skilled or quick, had a great handball. BUT could get the footy and won brownlow
