Understandable, but they're also freaks that shouldn't necessarily be the expectation we set on our guys.
Don't get me wrong, Sheezel would be amazing, but at this current stage I still think Ginbey/Hewett combo was the right call. Ginbey can develop into a AA half back defensive monster, and...
Don't mind the look of Bazzo
He sort of reminds me of Barrass in a way, quite gangly and working out how to properly defend.
Would be good for the run and for the launch into next season.
From what I recall at the Suns game, he played a LOT of half forward as Hunt / Chesser were the main wingers.
Same again here, plays a lot of fat side winger / starts as a half forward quite a fair bit which probably limits his impact to some extent.
Not good enough in the contested stuff to...
Really taken a step forward with his contested marking. Gets super high, takes it at the highest level.
While not blowing it up with possessions, you can certainly see the progression from last year to this year.
Couple of observations being at Sundays game:
General:
- Maric played the HHF sacrificial winger side, which I really dislike. He’ s an elite balluser and I feel he’s wasted sitting on an island out there where the ball rarely comes to him
- Sheed/LEdwards off HFF felt pretty wasteful.
-...
WEST COASTING EAGLES V SUNS UP GUNS UP at 'The People's Stadium' at Sunday, 1:00PM (AEST).
So it begins for Eagles fans once again.
Everyone rejoices as there is the return of the great hero of our time who will lead us to victory, once again.
The next Judd, the Chosen one, the greatest of them...
the BOY. Won good ball both inside and outside and had a big impact.
Reid went in and out of the game, but he's a special talent.
Barnett got some exposure
game plan put real pressure on GWS for a quarter and a bit
thought Waterman presented really well. Just couldn't convert when needed
Yeo was...
Is a big fella now. Drafted at 93kgs and mentioned on the Inside Swoop he's put on 8kgs, so he's in triple figures. Probably another 10 kgs to go, but he's definitely already a strong young man who's probably a bit ahead of the physical curve.
One of the knocks on him I feel is his hands. If he can clean up his disposal by hand, he'll be a very good player. Coaches need to pull out all of the old Daniel Kerr highlights for him to follow along.
It's nice having guys who are built for the contest. Haven't felt we've been had so many physically dominant players in our midfield ever since the elite midfield of Judd/Kerr/Cousins/Rojo/Stenglein.
Pros:
Hewett
Hough
Chose not to go to the game in the end and saved $50 bucks
Negatives
Watched the game
Gaff
Sheed
Forgot i was going to do the preview
Plenty to work with there. Biggest knock on him is probably not getting enough of the ball, but there's some genuine moments of brilliance here.
Has a little bit of Yeo in him, already a pretty big size and has some genuine mongrel and pace.
Loves that he wants to take on the game and as he...
The lad will be just fine.
Has that competitive edge all top players have and will be a future star.
He'll be learning plenty in this first year going up against top midfield bulls like Libba, Rowell, Dunkley where he can't just push them around and are just as big and strong as him instead of...
100% poster of the year.
Happy to see OA have faith in his body to throw it around into Viney.
Viney's not an easy man to move, and he easily wins the contested ball.
The idea that L Edwards won't make it I disagree. Played fat side of the wing majority of the game and worked really hard both offensively and defensively.
When he had the ball, made good decisions with strong composure. Won a clearance or two when he was put in the guts, but mostly hung off the...
Clark is probably ahead of LEdwards as he tends not to dominate WAFL.
Everytime LEdwards gets called up to AFL level though he never looks out of place.
Gaff needs to learn from young Long how to stick a tackle.
He's a small bloke, but he's good some very good strength about him.
In the contest I didn't see any big mids manage to shrug Longy off at all.
Has that poise the old man has, rare to find someone at 20 with that gift.
He's not a small guy either, at 189 and 84 kg, he looks lean in photos but has a good strength about him.
His old man had guns for days as well, so he'll either beat out the competition for midfield spots, or offer solid...
Any sign of L. Edwards out on the track?
OP destroyed his year, but one of the few mids i feel doesn't panic under pressure and i appreciate the poise he brings.
