Some Eagles supporters are absolute morons.

I wouldn't worry. If there is anytime they're going to give Doogs a chance it's the preseason where is failure to perform costs the team nothing. I would think the aim in the lead up to the season is to figure out a working system. There are still a number of players that could have a run up...

Top four at least.

He's looking good. If he continues getting around 20 possessions in the preseason he could be a good chance for a game in round 1.

I rate McDougall a lot higher than you Frodo, but he and Staker haven't been overly impressive over the preseason. Hunter has looked better, but as you say we lose something vital in defence if they shift him forward permanently. Lynch could be a decent full forward if they keep him there...

Didn't you once say you'd rather we didn't make the Grand Final than make it and lose?

"It's a "Jump to Conclusions mat". You see, you have this mat, with different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO. "

People have been pretty harsh on Hurn over the intraclub games and into the NAB cup and he had a lot of high expectations on him. Woosha kept him on Ratboy for the entire second quarter even though he was killing him on the lead and was responsible for quite a few of Freo's goals that quarter...

Interesting that you put Lynch at FF. Lynch was nowhere near as bad at FF as some people would have us believe and he really is unfairly rated by some supporters, he has as much scope for improvement as any of the other contenders. Neither McDougall or Staker really looked up to it today, but...

If he doesn't step up this year, he's probably running out of time. Injuries have done him no favours but he doesn't have that to fall back on this year. The ball is pretty much in his court at this stage.

Oh, yes. It's pathetic how far they've fallen.

If we get to round 1 and we're still playing like we did today, which I doubt they will be, then I'd be concerned. I don't think it's time to panic just yet, the season hasn't even begun.

Hunter needs to be given a run at FF. He demands the ball in the way he leads, something neither McDougall or Staker do. Although they weren't really given much to work with today. Our forward line is too tall. I'd like to see how we go with a two-pronged attack with Hunter at FF, Hansen...

Agreed, especially since our preseason has been about 4 weeks shorter than Freo's. Consider that in the year Collingwood played their second Grand Final the Eagles thrashed them by over 100 points in the first preseason game. Also Carlton won last year, but it didn't help them come the...

Give me a break.

He played well in 2004. Got injured round 1 last year, had a few games late in the year but didn't do enough to stay in the team with Hansen and Hunter coming back in. He really had one crack at the senior team last year. How is that too many chances? He'll get another chance this year given...

Re: NAB Cup 1st Round Sqaud There isn't a 10 man interchange bench in the preseason is there? :D

The way the top 5 have panned out is pretty much the way I saw it. I think the Brownlow count may have flattered Kerr's year a little. Cox and Wirrpunda probably had better years than Kerr but they aren't the sort of players that get large swags of Brownlow votes.

Agree on that, if anyone other than Judd takes over on their own I doubt it will be long-term.

As much as I don't like the idea of a rotating captaincy it may be the best option this year if Judd doesnt want it. Judd would be the perfect captain but if he wont take it there is no one else other Cousins who stands out as captain material at this stage. At least this way Judd captains the...

Yeah, if his form in the intraclubs is anything to go by, he'll have to improve out of sight in the next few weeks if he's going to get a game early in the season. Hurn himself said he was glad to be drafted to WCE because he wouldn't be forced to play AFL straight away. He'll get a game this...

Lynch will get first crack.

He's looked very good as a small forward in both Intra club games. Could definately provide something with the loss of Phil Matera.

It's not a bad show, but so far the plots have just been completely unoriginal.

I doubt he is reading this thread, and struggling with the pressure Embers' is putting on him.

Did some of you even read Embers' post? He was talking about the hard work Rosa's put in and the improvements he's made and you counter with oh, he looked average last year. He got limited game time in games where we got beaten, hardly the best way to get insight on a kid in his first 2...

I'm getting bored with every miniscule injury being blown out of proportion this pre-season.

Couldn't care less. Frankly, I'd prefer if we didn't go too far this year.

Should be on DVD.
