Seriously though, if Dawson and MJ go out who is going to play in defence on Kennedy (196cm), Cox (203 cm), Natanui (200cm) and Darling (190cm). The tallest player would be McPharlin at 194cm. Look what happened to Hawthorn and that was really only one tall (Hawkins) not 4+ talls.
If MJ and Dawson go then Silvagni should come in and Clarke should be played down back. Sounds silly but Eagles are too tall and we need defenders to play on Cox, Natanui, Kennedy and Darling. Then, if Hannath not suspended he comes in or if he is then Tabener. I think we are in trouble on...
If either of MJ or Dawson get suspended then we should challenge both charges. There has been far worse been done this year and players have not been suspended (ie Glass who only went for 1 and should be out for 2-3. Also, Bartel did far worse today on a Port player and there was no mention of it.
Positives: It is only Round 6
Super Pav will be playing game 300 soon
Negatives: A killer 3 game block
Hate to say it but I can see Mundy leaving for Hawthorn or Geelong (Can't see us winning a flag in next few years)
We are still in 5th place so no need to panic. It is a long season and although some tough games ahead if we are good enough then we will win. Anyway, keep supporting the team all the way.
I figure if the AFL fairly applies the Fyfe Rule this week that there should be a fair few suspensions starting with McVeigh from Sydney (elbow to the head). I am sure there are others
People are panicking too much. We got beat by the reigning Premiers. The season is only 3 games long so far. Got outplayed no doubt but the ball always seemed to bounce their way and I guess Pav is allowed to have guys climbing on him all game. We will bounce back
I don't know if the question has ever been asked or not but I was wondering if anyone knows how many teams have "new" state of the art facilities? North? No flag in years. St Kilda? No flag in Years. How about WC? I don't think Subi is that state of the art. How about Geelong? If not...
Sydney might not exactly have Power Forwards but those guys aren't shrimps. Even Cox isn't a Power forward but being 203cm tall aure hasn't hurt him from causing a fair bit of damage up forward so the smaller (191-192cm) guys in Kennedy and darling getting their hands on the ball.
We already have him. Now we need to get someone who can help him. If you look at all of the top teams this season you will notice that they all had some tall timber up forward. Sydney, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Adelaide and even the Toasters
Was listening to Johnny Young on 6PR yesterday when he was talking to Adam Papalia about what
was coming up on Bouncing Around. I couldn't help notice his keen interest in the Dockers and that he kept calling the Eagles the Weagles, Classic!
If we get Gumbleton then it should either be for a late pick or Roberton (definitely not Suban as I have seen on the Essendon board). Gumbleton is too injury prone and a big risk.
Why do we always go after ex Bomber or Collingwood players?
If Clarke goes, we definitely need to get another tall player. Are tall stocks are very low. Would love to trade Clarke for Tippet but not much of a chance if Clarke wants to go to Melbourne
No comment about Ex-Eagle Mitch Morton kicking 2 goals so far. If it was an Ex-Docker I am sure they would go on and on about how Freo let another good player get away
