The worst thing is that the AFL essentially enabled his second & third thug acts by not adequately punishing the first. If they'd just applied the same rules to him as everyone else from the start there'd be a few less concussions going around (and god knows the AFL doesn't need more...
Ah, perhaps I should have checked the date of your post :)
The one I'm really concerned about (like many I assume) is Sier. It's interesting to see that per disposal Beams has had the third most links to a scoring shot out of all midfielders this season (a touch under 30%). Overall, aside...
I'm sorry but those in bold absolutely aren't, Pendlebury is outperforming his 2018 output, Adams was fantastic for the few games he played, and Crisp has been just as outstanding. Sidebottom is still clearly the best wingman int he league, but slightly down on 2018 output. The only concern...
Will be good to see WHE get the opportunity as a major target in the forward line again; expect this could be tight if JDG goes out. Mihocek will be our big banana in the forward line which he won't be used to. With that said we'll have an awkwardly quick & nimble forward line, so maybe that'll...
His career is at the crossroads like Thomas’ was, he has the ability and the opportunity to turn it around, but does he have the drive? Tune in next time to find out....
Hope we just settle him into the backline and keep him there unless, God forbid, he's absolutely necessary in the Ruck.
I think this is a pretty shrewd pick up though. He's no Brian Lake but this whole trade period seriously reminds me of the way Hawthorn used to approach the table (they've...
Do we know what we re-signed Langdon for? Was reportedly offered 5+ year contracts at Freo and Sydney, and would have undoubtedly accepted less to stay (you're always offered more to move clubs), of course that doesn't necessarily mean our offer is 'less' than what he's worth to the club.
Yes.
But it’s not all doom and gloom if we (God forbid) lose either. But excuses should never be offered up after a GF loss, just have to accept it and move on.
Amazing vision versus amazing kick really. Although I think there was a lot more purpose behind Sidey’s kick, Sier’s could be construed as just kicking to a good spot as opposed to the amazing foresight it appears to be.
Kennedy and Darling are incredibly good players and the Eagles' midfield is pretty good, however: Riewoldt is better than Darling (objectively) and arguably better than Kennedy - certainly better in season 2018, secondly Richmond's midfield still managed some seriously precise kicks to Riewoldt...
It’s funny how so much focus has been on Cox this week (and rightly so), but we’ve barely relied on him all year to do anything other than bring the ball to ground. I don’t expect Cox to have a great game - I think the Eagles will put overtime into him - but I think we’ll see WHE/Mihocek be one...
Will spell trouble for a lot of other fringe boys around his age bracket if they can’t improve by mid next year, some may have to make way for the Bear’s new contract.
I never cared about King’s stupid comments comparing us with Carlton earlier this year, or his smug little face when he thinks his 5s clip completely explains an entire seasons worth of tactics. But damn. How hard has he been campaigning for the Eagles this week. It’s not like he’s even...
Reckon he has fractured ribs as well. Been persistently bugging him all finals series. Need someone with a bit of niggle to get into him... if only the Pig was still free to play a defensive forward role....
