I thought on Saturday night Wirra looked very hesitant. From memory he handed one of the goals to Burgoyne and some of his kick ins were woeful. I think he may have lost confidence with the players around him as well. I think Glass and Hunter will be automatic inclusions. That would mean Carroll...

The Eagles defence doesn't seem to work well as a unit. I cannot recall anyone helping out Lynch. In the good old days how many times did Mckenna help out Jako, or Waterman help out McIntosh? When Glass is fit he will be an automatic inclusion and I think it is time Nicoski got a game. His...

I think the problem with Chick is the match committee just doesn’t know where to play him. He has played forward, back and as a tagger. I think they have to make a decision and let him settle down in one position. I would like to see him as a run with player, as I don't think we really have...

I think we had about 36 500 members last year. Does anyone know what the cap is for members? I think the Eagles capped it at 38 500.

Using my powers of logic I say we win 9 home games, square the derbies and win 4-5 on the road. On the road we should beat the bulldogs, Carlton and Melbourne. And we have a good away record against Collingwood and the Kanga's. We always get smashed by the Saints, Bombers and Power. We...

Eagles membership, and premium seating = $360 New Eagles merchandise = $80 Game day costs (record, grog etc) = $260 $700 isn't that bad I guess. Though, I think I will travel interstate to see the Eagles v Collingwood game this year. Based on that my budget for 2004 will climb well...

Re: Re: Re: So where do you expect us to finish in 2004? For me winning finals is the key. Making the finals is not good enough - we have to win finals. And the only way we are going to make an impact in the finals is by finishing top 4. We have one of the top midfields and ruck divisions in...

Midfield supremacy is the short answer. And the fact a certain N.Brown has jumped ship helps us as he has killed us in recent years. I Think Cox in the ruck will hurt the bulldogs, feeding a pack of ravenous midfielders who will feed a forward line with something to prove. Players to watch...

Adelaide - Macleod/ Roo Brisbane – Voss/Black/Aker Carlton – Kouta Collingwood - Burns Essendon - Hird Fremantle - Pavlich Geelong - Scarlett Hawthorn - Crawford Kangaroos - Archer Melbourne – Neitz / Yze Port Adelaide – Pickett Richmond - Mark Coughlan St Kilda - Lenny Hayes, Rob...

I couldn't agree more. Cox has looked very good in the preseason and Seaby looks as though he is ready to make the next step (though I do have a West Perth bias). Could it be that Gardiner plays CHF for the first 10 rounds until Gasper is fully fit and can takeover? Fingers crossed we can...

Straight swap for Andrew Williams (who went to the pies) at the end of 2002. I agree with most people's comments regarding Lynch ... he could be the answer for CHB. When Glass gets back I think he will only improve in a key defensive role. I must admit I like the look of Nicoski. If he...

People both teams will win most of their home games so it will come down to the derbies and away wins. Lets say both win 9 home games and we square the derbies. 10 - 10. That leaves it all down to the away games. Eagles Away: I am booking in the Eagles to beat the Bulldogs, Carlton...

Just a few thoughts: - From what I have seen in the scratch matches. I think MacDougall and Johnston will play forward. - Gardiner won't play meaning Seaby will get a chance. - Nicoski will play in defense ... his left foot is outstanding. - Staker, if fit, will play CHB. Lynch...

Morrison's days in the midfield are over. His knee just can't deal with that sort of workload. I think a fit Chad Morrison is in our best 22 … probably on the half back flank. This a tough decision for Worsfold - Does he give Morrison a go or throw one of the young kids (Waters, Staker etc)...

Mate in all honesty that is my opinion. Carlton has had a huge influx of players … it will take time for them to gel as a unit. The inclusion of Nick Stevens will be fantastic for the midfield, as will Scotland and Brett Johnson. The one problem that stands out is lack of pace. None of...

The only option they have is to develop in to a hard running side with the number of small bodies they have. If they do this they will be very dangerous. However, this will take time and they will more than likely finish bottom four in 2004. Melbourne and Carlton have far greater problems and...

Interesting read. I guess Fox 8 is up at .9 because it has Raw and Smackdown, which attract a large audience. If I was paying for Fox Footy I would be disappointed as I don't think it offers enough during the season and is basically obsolete in the off season. And with the cost involved in...

Every year without fail there is a club that surprises everyone and jumps the pack (Sydney 2003). Personally, I think Hawthorn could be that team ... they are specials to make the 8. They have a good draw and are due a good run with injuries. As are the Saints – if they don’t make it this...

If Freo can get Black then you can justify paying top dollar - he is an absolute champion. Freo can develop one of the young kids from this year's draft into a Coughlan or Carr type so why pay top dollar for them. And of course if you want Carr you have to deal with Port Adelaide and Mr...

Depends on your fantasy football comp. I am guessing you draft different players for different roles i.e tackler, midfielder, goal kicker etc etc The typical late draft picks in my comp are: matthew carr M Braun D Kerr Rohan Smith Brett Burton Peter Burgoyne Stuart Maxfield Luke...

Got stuck out bush without toilet paper - so I proceeded to use the Sunday times. It would be nice if they released a softer version of the paper though. Sunday Times is “gutter” journalism at it’s best.

Darren Lehman is keeping the great Australian dream alive. Here is a man battling with his weight and NOT taking any of mummy's pills. We need the likes of Boof in the Aussie team. Clarke will get his chance and will be a very good player. As will Katich, but I wouldn't get too excited...

Damo has one of the most elegant looking drives square of the wicket in world cricket. Do you dislike his style because he can sometimes be cautious at the beginning of innings?? I hate watching Pakistan play because you never know if they are fair dinkum or not.

Yes, Voltron was pure gold. I had the action figures and all! The line up on the ABC in the eighties of Inspector Gadget, Rodger Ramjet, Astro Boy, Voltron (of course followed by two of the greatest programmes of all time The Goodies and Dr Who) would be hard to top ....

Big chance of last place if Frawley continues to play Richo on the wing like he did at the end of last season. If Ottens gets fit, Richo plays forward, Stafford plays ruck ... throw Nathan Brown in to the mix and they should go all right. IMO Brown will have to play in the middle far more...

There was a general club B & F thread going around last week, which I responded to. My view certainly hasn't changed since then. So .... Gardiner to win - Book it in! Cousin 2nd Judd 3rd And Chick, who is set for a big 2004, is my dark horse.

He has played as a permanent forward most of his career so his body should be in reasonably good nick. His biggest problem will be if he losses a yard of pace - being his biggest asset any loss of pace would shorten his career. I would say he should easily play till the age of 33 barring...

I think 50/50 would be a fairer result. But the debt on Subi has to be serviced, so I think the WAFC has no opitions at this stage. If the Dockers can start making 1 million a year that will stengthen our case. Of course the club was saved by the WAFC after Indian Pacific's, (who was the...

Gardiner - Book it in! Cousins 2nd Judd 3rd Chick, who is set for a big 2004, is the smokey.
