I agree with half time hero, in that merrett is copping unfair criticism. He is a star, and easily our best midfielder. The contributions from his fellow midfielders fall well short and he is forced to make risky kicks under significant pressure. I followed his draft closely and his one...
I hope we bring the intensity we showed against collingwood, that shows system vs players. Given we are missing hugely talented players, that intensity shows we are beginning to turn a corner.
I haven't read read the rest of the thread so sorry if this has been spoken about. Looking at our need for inside midfielders and the decline of fantasia. The reluctance to trade fantasia, an injury prone forward for wines ( with us giving a second rounder imo) looks to be a big mistake...
Again I cant argue with much of what you have said, but in my opinion Francis wont ever be that 2nd tall we might need him to be. His potential will always be that intercepting tall and if we are relying on him to be something else in our defense then we have missed the mark by a long shot and...
Competently agree Lore, we shouldn't be giving him games, but that being said I didn't see much that warranted his omission after the first few rounds of footy. You could argue team selection and that would be fair, especially with hooker coming back into the lineup, but regardless its...
Very impressed with his contribution, good on you Jake. I like many have followed the trouncing you have received for your personal life in the media while being traded and your reaction is great to see for the EFC and you personally. He has been one of the most consistent performers for us...
Fantastic to see him return and contributing, given last year we couldn't hope for much more. Just hope his injury issues are behind him. It cant understated the impact he has on the team environment. Footy can be too serious, Joe brings intensity along with enjoying the game at the same time...
Hey guys, first time posting long long time reader so don't be too harsh. I was immensely disappointed by him being left out of the team. I understand we have to do whats best for the team, but I like many other on this forum followed his draft closely due to the fact that we were bound to get...
