Changes for Round 16 v Richmond @ The 'G

[Bacchus]

Good to see Trewie get a chance. Talented player who has been cruelled by injuries.

WAFL form didn’t demand selection but he could have been plugging away there and never got a chance. I think he might be someone who is motivated by the higher grade. Best of luck to him anyway.

Never a good idea to hook up with someone you work closely with.

So no chance for you and Kate from the Eagles twitter team then?

 

[DanWCE]

I'm not expecting much from Trew, but anything less than 4 x that one pre-season quarter he dished up and I'll riot.

Was excited by this kid when I first seen him play. Was one touch and clean around the contest and just seemed to naturally know where to position himself.

Hasn't been able to get any continuity in his body the first few years on the list but hopefully he has a good game and shows enough to get another year at least.

Initially I was excited about the selection of Trew and possibly Culley, but then I realised that neither of them were top 4 picks so they were definitely not gonna be any good.

In his last two WAFL games he has contributed without dominating but showed that he has the capability to play at a higher level. Moments of class.

They could still be solid C- contributors though, maybe bumped up to a C after moderation.

all they need to be is better than our other options to improve the team. Very soon there will be no Shuey, Redden or Gaff; Sheed is aging and falling apart. We need AFL ready depth.

The tank is in

Huh?

Trew the tank? Or are you saying we are finally tanking?

Somewhat concerned he hasnt had time to build an AFL fitness level. How many WAFL games has he played this season? I recall after his 1st game back from along injury layoff he said it was great but his legs was a long way off full fitness. Playing your 1st game and not being fully match fit is a big ask.

Happy he is getting a crack. Sub maybe a good call. Hope he gets a run of consecutive matches.

Played rounds 3 to 6 and then 9 and 10

Missed rounds 7 and 8 with a knee issue described as an ITB complaint by the club

Kinda sends the wrong idea I feel, when players who dont show that much in the WAFL are rewarded with AFL games and the ones who go well are ignored. I am not against Trew or Cully getting a game, but SPS? On watching the WAFL game last weekend, Clark was near on best on ground and should rightfully feel miffed at being overlooked.

 

[KERRPOW]

Culley isnt playing. Just a chance for him to experience flying out and bonding with team mates for an away game.

a stupid decision then to deny him much needed time in the WAFL. Unless he is carrying a niggle???

It's a bye

Good call. Did not know that!

Keen to see Trew debut, but I am wondering what it means for Clark.

Is Clark contracted for next year?

West seems to be the preferred option out of the depth midfielders at this stage.

Id imagine they are happy with Clark and want to see what Trew is capable of.

Clark was a shoe in for round 1 but the shoulder set him back somewhat and with that they have gone with West over him for the meantime.

Clark still contracted for next year

Trew isn’t so as others have said I think they want to have a look at him at AFL level to help decide if he’s worth persisting with

Still stupid. If he's got a niggle the last thing needed is two long flights.

Thas 80% of players we have fielded this season.

Clark was one other. Oh and Hough.....J Williams. You could be right.

80% of players fielded (not debuting) where not at AFL fitness level.

This is Zane Trew's Hamish Brayshaw moment. I still reckon he's delisted at the end of the year with 1 game to his name.
