    You honestly can't tell me you are happy with the way we are playing at present.

    Opinion Round 16 Changes vs. Carlton

    Up to now yes. But could you imagine IF our current form continues and we miss out on top 2 then go out in straight sets and the Eagles somehow make the Grand Final then I think that would be worse. I have faith that this will not happen but we really need to find some form selection wise and on...

    Opinion Round 16 Changes vs. Carlton

    Unless something changes regarding team selection and playing favourites I see this season heading towards being one of the biggest disappointments ever. Promising so much and looking like grand final certainties to now playing like we are, is hugely upsetting. The urgency and teamwork has...

    On top of the ladder that's all that matters:confused: We can all be satisfied now:rolleyes:

    Not sure of his contract situation but if I was him I would be looking at another club.

    Roast Ballas and Mayne

    Because we are sitting on top does not make our current situation in regards to form disappear. I personally never expected to win last weekends game even when the fixtures came out or even when we were motoring along without having lost a game. Thankfully our early season form puts us where we...

    Opinion Round 16 Changes vs. Carlton

    Duffield has a bad habit of always trying to bullock his way through the opposition but he does not have the strength or skill (like Fyfe) to achieve this.

    Roast Ballas and Mayne

    Top two is due to the way we played in the first 9 rounds not the way we have played since. We are currently playing the same if not worse than we have over the last month. I would rather be 3rd or 4th and playing like we were in the first 9 weeks.(if that was to guarantee us a top 2 finish).

    Opinion Round 16 Changes vs. Carlton

    The problem is the current members of our best 22 are cruising along with seemingly no pressure from the new kids at Peel or out of favor team mates, knowing they will get a game every week unless they fall off the perch big time. But comes a time when cruising along is not enough to tackle the...

    MRP / Trib. Is Fyfe in trouble?

    No, but Fyfe could most likely have received a vote or 2 by being available to play in the games that he was suspended in. Similarly Ablet would probably have won had he not been injured. So yes, Priddis by most peoples opinions (even many Eagles supporters) did a Bradbury.

    Strategy Time to roll the dice...

    No that is not the point, I would suggest just make a few minor alterations as form and injuries require.

    Strategy Time to roll the dice...

    It is not about debuting players. Its about every player earning his spot. Can not let winning be the reason we stay the same every week. Improvement needs to come and players who feel they are comfortable with their spot in the team only because we have won does not create a healthy work rate...

    Strategy Time to roll the dice...

    I would have thought what is more important that a player is playing well rather than meeting a certain KPI or putting in a certain level of effort.

    Strategy Time to roll the dice...

    What should be happening is a core group of 26 -28 players (subject to injury and depending on match ups against opposition played), should be GENTLY rotated in and out of the team as required. A couple of weeks of average performance by anybody rewards some one else with a game. We have never...

    Opinion Round 5 Changes vs. Melbourne

    Don't understand why it has to be such a definitive statement if a player is DROPPED or RESTED. I see it more as fine tuning and keeping the hunger in the 23rd to 30th player, saying that they are still in with a chance to get a gig. Yes we are winning but does that mean the same 22 play every...

    Opinion Round 5 Changes vs. Melbourne

    I do agree, but I guess my thought was more along the lines of a rotation policy to keep the hunger as it is not often in our history that we have had such good depth and a small injury list. Probably too early after only 4 games;) I am a huge Barlow fan and want to see him performing at his...

    Opinion Round 5 Changes vs. Melbourne

    Barlow has been un-Barlow like the last couple of games and I would either give him a break and play him at Peel or if he has a niggle then a week off completely. What this does is it sends a message to all players that unless performing at close to their best their position is up for grabs...

    Round 1 teams - Freo vs Port [MEGATHREADS SUCK]

    Missing out of the 22 for our September games last year, were Ballantyne Johnson and Mcpharlin (3 All Australians). So barring injury we would not field the same 22 by choice. Would like to see Weller and Blakely in as well as the 3 guys that were unavailable.

    Analysis Peel Thunder 2015 (TV schedule in OP)

    Imagine his performance that we saw last week for Peel and the fact he is coming back from injury would question his selection. On past reputation still would be best 22 but maybe not this week with others possibly more deserving of a game.

    Round 1 teams - Freo vs Port [MEGATHREADS SUCK]

    So what has so dramatically changed since Thursday's squad announcement.o_O Thursday we were looking good and now suddenly according to few on here we have no hope. Surely Crozier and Blakely not getting a gig and Muz a non starter can''t make that much difference?

    Don't care about his ability or our need. Not the sort of bloke I want at our club.

    Analysis Peel Thunder 2015 (TV schedule in OP)

    Weller and Blakely hopefully will prove to be very good players and what may make it even more satisfying is the gulf between the 2 WA teams in terms of midfield could increase just that little bit more;).

    Analysis Peel Thunder 2015 (TV schedule in OP)

    Well despite some other people wearing the rose coloured glasses about today's game I would mostly agree with the above post. Mind you I was not aware of the RTB 3/4 time event. I came away from todays game largely uninspired by what I saw. Other than some flashes of brilliance from Blakely and...

    No idea what commentators could be talking about. His kicking was fine. Sometimes the amateur commentators invent stuff because they can't think of anything else to say.

    Rumour Where is Crowley ???

    Well that explains it all . His problem is, he has an arrow on his head and as soon as that disappears he will be able to play again;)
