Hardly ever find anything that I agree with you on grassy, but this time you're dead right. It'll take a huge turn of momentum for them to make the 8, let alone the GF. At this point, the scumbag dorks will clean them up in the derby

At least a few Eagles supporters were wise enough to go next door and watch another purple Perth team have a win away and show them how it's done. Well done Perth Glory, classy away win in the elimination final. They now stay on the east coast to play Sydney in the semi final on Saturday night.

Not sure the dockers will beat ya 58, they have been a tad lucky the last 2 matches.

On the eags, do they have too many downhill skiers?, and is Pridda now getting slow by hand nowadays ( ai am a fan by the way).

Please explain how the Dockers were lucky the last two weeks?

Well i reckon winning on basically the last kick of the match has a certain amount of luck attached.

How is the pre season recruiting of 2 x 35yo Victorians at the expense of a local youngster going for this mob?

Yeh lucky we came back from 27 points down against Melbourne and 29 points down midway through the 3rd quarter against NM.

Yep i reckon there are.
Sam Butler has been a great servant but is way to slow nowadays.
To much still left to Priddis to get all the hard ball gets and it seems the opposition monster him whenever he gets near the ball.
Masten gets plenty of the ball but butchers it half the time.
Dom Sheed lacks genuine pace,good player but in an already slow midfield gets caught a bit.
Hills days are numbered,its a shame Willie Rioli is out for as long as he is could be the X factor needed in that forward line.
LeCras at this point of his career maybe better suited just playing at home,i still think hes good enough just doesnt seem to travel well.
Redden just hasnt delivered his Brissie Lions form at the Eagles.
Ditto Jetta.
There are 1 or 2 others and they certainly have some list cloggers at EP.
Probably shy 1 more tall mobile defender,not sure where Eric Mackenzie/Will Shofield are at.

BH,Mitchell has been good value just remember what draft pick they traded for Mitchell pick 88,virtually got him for free.

30 plus, there are more than that.They will never win a flag with Darling, who never performs under pressure in big game.Kennedy... ditto.He kicks bags when there is no pressure but is like a rabbit in the spot light come big games.Hill is a Dud, with a capital D.
When the game gets physical, the front runners go missing.The Hawks monstered them early today, became physical and they went walk about.
A lot of big decisions to be made at the Eerie.From what I can gather , there is nothing coming through at East Perth.
So where do they go from here?

Of course there are and if you re-read my post i added(edit) that there were.
Every club in the comp has list cloggers including Freo.

Im not even going to go into it with you on Kennedy,you dont fluke Coleman medals.
You dislike Darling and thats ok because he does have to get better and hopefully he does,he has age on his side,he was good today in an ordinary team.

Where to from here?
Hopefully they get Nic and Lycett back towards the end of the season,get Rioli fit and firing and hopefully he becomes that small crumbing forward they need desperately and hit the trade table hard next season and hopefully lure a West Aussie or 2 home.

Father time has come to a few and hopefully they realise that at seasons end.

30plus do you think Adam Simpson shows much imagination? I don't think he mixes it up much, a bit of a one trick pony. The only move he's got is throwing McGovern forward or back. Bring McKenzie into the team and throw Jack in the middle or even throw him across the half back line and leave McGovern forward.

Jetta showed his class yesterday in the WAFL but I'd say they would be looking at his KPI'S. Eagles need an injection of pace obviously Rioli could have provided that and a bit of magic. The Eagles midfield is too predictable so they need to mix it up. Hutchings was solid but no different to half a dozen others you got running through there at the moment.
