TOPIC:

I think we also have recruited another player from East Perth. This guy played reserves for us on Saturday (not sure how he went; stats were OK), and played league for East Perth back in 2013. Still young at 22 or 23. Name is Ashley Boyes.

Notice that Stack had a good game possession wise in the reserves, so he might be a chance for league. I think he and Arangio should come in to the side if it's a clear day. We need to kick goals against Claremont.

Seriously I don't know why some people keep pumping up Hug. The guy is small, slow and disposal is poor. He is a liability. We need players with a bit of dash and skill who can take the game on.

Sadly thats what a lot of our supporters do.
Ive been saying it for years and i usually get slammed for it,"some supporters over-rate some of our players abilities".

In my opinion we have to many players of the same height,weight and ability and its in the "small player" category.
Its ok having the smallish guy but with that you want pace and ability,how many of our small guys have that?


Personal Demon,
I think we just have to kick goals period!
We are only averaging 8 goals per game that is not going to win you many games if any including if its a wet day.

Nothing wrong with giving your players a boost, especially the young guys. Not that I remember pumping up Hug. Just suggested he might come in if Chance was injured based on his BOG in the 2nds.

PS: who was it DD who rubbished Dene White when he came back to the club?

I agree PD a lot of supporters bagged Dene White I for one have always been a fan.
Always a red hot go, now he has developed and I think his disposal has improved and I think a lot of it is having confidence particularly under pressure.
Confidence can be a huge thing.

just look at Tropiano!!........having a great season for you boys, would love him back at EF, though saying that he wouldn't get a game with similar more preferred types in his way.....amazing what opportunity can do for you I guess.....well done to the guy, touch wood he keeps it going!

Not lighting a fire here boys, but I see Duffy picked up a few possessions on Sat.....did he play well or just simply a case a bucket full of possessions with little hurt attached to them!

Freeze yes Troppo has been a good pickup for us. I have been a big fan since I watched him play his first game mid season.

The reference to Duffy is irrelevant. He is on a Dockers list with an aligned team now. You might as well mention all the other Eagles and Dockers listed players from Perth playing for EP and PT too if that is the point you are trying to make!! Its been great not listening to bounces diatribe this year so some advice for you is buy a new guitar because that tune was played to death....

No probs Lucifer....I'll just wait till BTB comes on next to post then ......

Hug has played League, Reserves, League, Reserves .... On that basis it's League again this week
