Team vs. Eagles

[crannyvegas]

wow talk about appealing to the tiger masses, Jade
i don't like that cogs has been ommitted with the rest of this mob, very very unfair for him to get tarnished with same brush.
maybe it wasnt only terry's fair well game last week...

Is that you Pete?

Nah its not champ, just new member with my first post ahaahh

[WilliamPowell]

Take out Cousins, Tuck & Newman and that is is very young side we have

Great to see 

[wayne]

Great selections, especially Edwards, TW did not know how to use him, now that JR has put in a bit more pace in the side, watch Edwards come into his own.

 

I'm with you Dallas, I like Edwards, he was exciting in his debut year, then had his development stunted under Wallace.  

[WA Tiger]

Edwards please........ well I suppose a lot of you went on about how Wallace had his favourites...... how long has Edwards been at Coburg...

[WA Tiger]

Too many changes for mine, Vickery needs some experience around him in his first game, a lot of that has been left out of this side. Cogs and Bowden should have been left in. Those boys will run out of puff before the end, and why Hislop over Thompson??

Anyway he is the Coach and good luck with your decisions Jade???

Some of the changes should have happened weeks ago, so I think we are making up  for lost time

If the club is going to make tough calls on the 30 brigade, then they need to make tough calls on a few others. The dropping of Cogs is one of those

[crannyvegas]

wayne is that an image created by the band tool being used as your display picture?? (im not sure of the age range here but tool are amazing)
can i just ask, why is there such adoration for edwards here? he is a good VFL player, that is it. he dosent have the size, awareness or skill to make it as genuine AFL player.
And on cogs being slow, im sorry but he could walk the entire game and show more than most.
last week he had 21 touches and NINE tackles, thats more than delidio, cotchin, tambiling, collins and mcmahon combined

i kinda rate toughness, heart and smart ball use over wishy washy speedsters..

[Jackstar is back]

Would have left Bowden in.
Gives you more flexabilty in the game, as you could therefore swing McGaune or Moore up forward.

Well first of all WAT sorry for having an opinion on our young stocks. I'll try to remember not to get excited about our youngsters again, instead I'll just reflect on all of our glory over the last 25 years.  

Wallace was instructing Edwards to look laterally (that means sideways for you uneducated Western Australians*) when 60m out from goal.
He admitted as much when he appeared on 'On the couch' earlier in the year. What crap coaching.  

If Edwards is 60m out with one man in front of him....he should take the man on. If he gets caught with it, then he should look sideways!
Edwards will be good if he is played to his strengths, I can't see him being told to kick it sideways under Rawlings.

Totally agree 100%, we have just about included the Coburg side this weekend. Six in on swoop is too many and the ins against the outs is a loss of too much experience, Cogs should have been left in IMO WP....so should of Bowden. 3 -4 Changes would have done.

Don't you think 6 changes is a bit of an over reaction, I kind of look at me I am the Coach now. Well the ins, other then Vickery had better stand up otherwise Rawlings could be left with the old egg on the face.

Just for the record Dallas I backed Edwards in for a long time but he has gone no ware so if you took that post personaly then please consult your local Doctor. I get excited about every youngster that comes through the doors of that club until they display the type of football skills as Edwards does.

It doesn't matter if Edwards kicks sideways, up in the air, backwards, forwards or anyway for that matter he rarely hits his targets and is a crap shot for goal.

He cost us a lot at the start of the year with his continual turnover of the ball even when not under pressure. He is a god VFL player at best.

Finally I speak for myself so dont lower yourself by silly comments such as your last one.

Really happy with the ins and outs- at least it shows we don't want to win meaningless games with the same old heads. If we win, it is with kids and that i can handle with whats happened this year.
Also just on Edwards, i don't rate him either, just a skinny little boy who imo when he has played this year has looked so out of his league it's sad.

[DallasCrane]

WAT, I know that you speak for yourself, because statistically, given that education is still free in WA, it would be impossible for the entire population of Western Australia to have such poor grammar and comprehension skills as you do.

But I digress.

Edwards has declined this year, there's no doubt about that. I want to know why, and to see him playing under a different coach might provide that answer.

I happen to be excited about the possible resurrection of his career. Is that OK?

You do digress but I suppose anyone that is as inbread as you obviously has an excuse, you also seem to have a problem with WA, why would that be? I am sorry if I come accross uneducated...... oh hang on no I am not, go stuff yourself. Yes I digress but if you think you are better than me and you have the audacity to attack me personaly then my comments are all you deserve.

Like I said I supported Edwards and he has shown nothing but if he gets up great and good luck to him, he has until the end of the year IMO, by the way a hell of a lot of posters agree regarding Edwards. So take your highly educated arse the stuff out of my face and shove it in theirs.

Stick to the topic and stop with the personal sniping
