TOPIC:

Simpson mentioned this week he needs bigger bodies. He also rates Tunbridge so should see more of him 2015.
Hutchings has done a pretty good job as tagger so hopefully that leaves Selwood to go about his business. Shuey can't handle a tagger as well as the top shelf players but he takes it none the less, role filled.
Not a fan of Gaff and Masten. Ken Hinkley said when asked about the single most important attribute in a footy player was that they need to be able to find their own footy.
I'm not completely disheartened with the Eagles, only had no chance in 3 games this year, but certainly don't believe this list will hold up a flag.

The ideal solution to the host club alignment. Since the players at the club formerly known as East Perth know the structures of the Eagles then perhaps the Eagles should restrict their drafting to only those players within the club formerly known as East Perth. Similarly, Freo can do same from Peel.

A win win for all.

I guess it is 12 o'clock somewhere...
Then I suppose every club in the AFL can only draft from their alignment club. Then the clubs without one can draft from all the other clubs.

There is a few in the side that need moving on:

Brown - trade him, very average player
Gaff - trade him, too small & still sleeps with the light on
Sheppard - too small for a backman, average player at best
Masten - finds the footy but skills under pressure no good
Wellingham - same as Des Headland, good player in good side only
Shuey - best of a bad bunch, one way player only
Brennan - a shadow of his old man, not good enough
Butler - was good but days are finished
Smith - just an ordinary player
Hill - soft as butter
McGinnity - has a crack buts that's all, no skills
Bennell - wanted to be like Wirra, wouldn't of carried his bag to the game..

pretty much spot on terror.

scott selwood - purely a nullifying run with midfielder half as good as Crowley and one tenth as good as his geelong captain big brother, wellingham - huge disappointment, only runs forward. no defensive skills. wont chase.
shuey - juries out. cant handle tags. who else - hutchings - mmm anyone else??? ellis etc.
the midfield is this teams Achilles heal. forwards, backs okay - midfield shit.

Priddis is rated 36th in the league for efficiency and handballs to players who get nailed instantly hate to be a forward on the lead to him should try out for the NFL his kicks have that much hang time. Great ball getter poor decisions and terrible disposal

if it wasn't for priddis we'd be looking at our second flag - the spoon flag

Exactly the point might save your from a wooden spoon but wont take you to a flag like the hodges,abletts, pendelburys and co, if that is the best you have in the midfield you are in a world of hurt. I dont think anyone would question priddas's endeavour and certainly has got the best out of himself turns 30 in March 2015 the eagles recruiting division have erred over several drafts it will be interesting to see if they err again and recruit former players son's or decide to get serious about improving the list there is not much left in the shed either.

Shuey is ranked 31st in the club for inside fifties. 1st at WCE.
That's a whole lot of bombs.
