Changes next week for the Eagles game?

[one-eyed]

Axel, Jacko, Connors will be available.

Fire away...

[Infamy]

In: Foley, Jackson, Connors, Griffiths, Moore (if fit), Gourdis & Browne
Out: Simmonds, Morton, Nason, White, Nahas, McGuane, Farmer

I'd like those to be the changes, although not sure we'll have all 7

That being said we do need a ruckman to replace Simmo and help Graham, Browne does deserve a shot
Foley, Jackson & Connors you'd expect to be walk up starts, as is Moore if he's fit so we need a few outs to fit them all in
Morton was shocking and you'd expect Griffiths back from his corky to replace him

Only doubtful one to get the nod on my list is Gourdis after missing last week, although we do need to try someone else down back, perhaps next week isn't the week for that to happen.

I agree with the outs but who is the small forward? Tambling? Delidio? something we really lacked tonight, Morton has to go, what is his story? Nahas needs another go because someone has to play that role I would like to see Taylor back ASAP

[Infamy]

With Foley and Jackson back we can perhaps play Edwards as the small forward as we have plenty of midfielders. Cousins can play more of a half forward role also along with Collins who kicked 2 goals tonight.

Nahas was rubbish last week too so he deserves to get dropped for two bad ones in a row

Am I the only one who thinks Jake Kings form has been pretty solid over the past fortnight.

Definately deserves to hold his spot in the team IMO.

Agreed, he's done the job he's been given quite well, he'd be hard done by to miss out next week

Wonder what is going on with Morton, he was playing decent footy even when they dropped him to work on things, but now, he has lost his natural rhythm or something.  He couldn't seem to get into the game.

Barely.

No use being talented if you aren't going to do the team things instead of purely chasing goals.

Kicked a few at the start of the year but was still a massive liability in defence and in flouting team rules, which was clear as day during the Melbourne game when Hardwick was rope-able at him on the boundary line and after the Melbourne game when he was subsequently dropped.

[Muscles]

I watched the game twice on TV this week, it's a lot easier to see things the second time around when the emotion gets out of the system.

Cotch's disposal was dead-set ordinary last night.  Fair enough, he got a lot of it in heavy traffic and was heavily tagged, but he almost made Tucky look clean.

I thought that Morton looked completely lost.  He seemed like he was trying to suppress his natural game in order to follow team rules, but he ended up getting where the ball wasn't and not real close to his opponent.

I didn't think that Whitey had much success as a defensive forward, but he is better in that role than Sloppy.  We still need a hit-up marking forward flanker, but I can't think of anyone other than Taylor who could fill that role for us.

I have no idea what instructions Nahas is following at present, he seems to be letting the side down from where I sit.  Another one who gets where the ball aint.  He doesn't seem to be positioning himself front and centre at the marking contests and isn't there when it goes over the back.  He gets pushed off the ball and blocked out of the contest too easily and isn't a good enough kick when he does get it.

I'm not convinced about Titch Edwards.  I reckon that he throws his shoulders back and lifts his head midway through the kicking  motion, just as he is about the contact the ball, and it sends the ball everywhere else but where he wants it to go.  I reckon it's time he went back to the 'Burg and learned to stay down and kick through the ball like he really means it to go where he is aiming.

I thought Webbers got a lot of the ball, but too often just booted bombs.  I've read that he is supposed to be a good kick, but he needs to show a lot more in that area.

Kingy added some value in the midfield - have to admit I was pleasantly surprised.

The Aints showed us up for having too many midgets in the side.  Goddard and Gilbert looked like giants compared to our guys.  I hope the recruiters are out looking for some mids who have bigger bodies than our current crop.

We need a good crumbing forward while Nahas has a rest, wonder how Relton is going.  He certainly has got his body into some good nick, lean and some nice big grapefruits on the shoulders.
