Because There wasn't a senior player worse than Jetta and if anyone should of had motivation to play well it should of been Jetts. Will see how he goes next week with better player's around himWhy rag on about Jetta when most of our senior players were rubbish? It's a practice match with managed minutes in which we went una man down. Add the fact that we only had one true inside midfielder in Hutchings and a player like Jetta will not get to play his natural game.
Wow... relax guys, it was a nothing game.
Clearly the mindset of the lineup was to rest our seniors from a pointless interstate trip, as there will be many more, whilst also allowing those that don't get many chances of experiencing AFL intensity football to get a taste of what it's like.
If you thought we were going to win, well you're right! We did win.. No Injuries is all I wanted to see out of today.
Stop comparing a side with finals experience and proven structure, to an inexperienced side with no I50 targets and a structure that had more holes than a spaghetti strainer.
Lamb looked good.
Hutchings played really well and proved he'll be pushing spots all year.
Adamson did some nice things but came off as extremely rushed every time it came to a disposal.
Duggan looked a little rusty.
Hill did some really nice things in the first half
As did Bennell
Positive signs.. I'd like to see how we go against Gold Coast when these younger players are given specific roles in a structure, more so if they can execute them.
Though again, I'll take no injuries in the NAB cup all day everyday.
Meh, when the whole team is basically playing bruise free footy in a meaningless game I am none too worried.Because There wasn't a senior player worse than Jetta and if anyone should of had motivation to play well it should of been Jetts.

I'm not that worried but 3 possessions is just bad. I wouldn't imagine he's had many 3 possession games in his career haha On a positive note Lamb on the lead is impressive hopefully he can lock a few games down this yearMeh, when the whole team is basically playing bruise free footy in a meaningless game I am none too worried.
I just hope yeo can find consistency in the midfield,was awesome last year for stretches but can go majorly missing
This was no more than a practice match for the eagles as a club but not so for almost 80% of that team who should have been out there to impress for a round 1 spot or to push themselves up the pecking order.
The biggest disappointments for the experienced players were jetta and yeo. Both were poor in attitude and application. The senior players didnt show good leadership or example to the youngsters hence a 100 point thumping in really 3 quarters which no matter the side on the park is poor.
Of the younger brigade Tom Cole showed good agression and speed and looks one for the future. Partington was playing in the middle and obviously didnt have the body strength of the crows on ballers and thus struggled. Allen looks to be a good project player did some good things but got outpointed in most marking contests against a gun in Talia. Adamson impressed he had good intensity and willingness to work hard for others was one of our better players. Lamb didnt do a hell of a lot but didnt go up there much. Duggan was very rusty and seemed rushed needs some games and might not be best 22 for the 1st game if sheed and redden are available might need a couple in the wafl to get some confidence up. Nelson tried hard but got beaten in too many 1 on 1s. Mcinnes was good did a good job up against jacobs and jenkins.
Now to the players who need to be delisted Paddy Brophy is barely a Wafl player let alone an afl rookie not up to it at all had no idea.
Brant College absolute deadwood not worth persisting with and a waste of a list space
Kane Lucas soft as butter no impact seagull good wafl player not afl standard.
The biggest positive for the real season was Jamie Bennell in the 1st qtr. He was sensational as a small forward and crumbed very well pity it only lasted for 1 qtr but with a full strength side i would like to see him trialled at the feet of darling and kennedy.
Your sponsored player showed enough to suggest he'll play a bit for us in the future.A bit like Jetta he is a midfielder who will thrive with better support around him. At full strength currently he is behind guys like Gaff, Priddis and Shuey as our most influential midfielder so he won't get a hard tag or be matched head to head against the opposition's best midfielder regularly. I'd like to see him used off a HFF more regularly as well.

Yeo only had two more touches, but also had the advantage of being more capable on the inside and is also more of a marking target - so he should have gotten more touches than Jetta. Plus Yeo is more familiar with the other players and our structures.Because There wasn't a senior player worse than Jetta and if anyone should of had motivation to play well it should of been Jetts. Will see how he goes next week with better player's around him
True but think Jetta had more to play for first game in Eagle colours and there is no guarantee he will be in the best 22 come rnd1Yeo only had two more touches, but also had the advantage of being more capable on the inside and is also more of a marking target - so he should have gotten more touches than Jetta.

So this! The BF posters who melt as much as Colledge, please GTFOSome of the whinging supporters on here are infinitely more embarrassing than a 100 point preseason loss though

Maybe they were told to temper the intensity.Because There wasn't a senior player worse than Jetta and if anyone should of had motivation to play well it should of been Jetts. Will see how he goes next week with better player's around him
