I see us putting time into a quality small defender who not only helps other younger players around him out but also helps the team.

Personally, I think an injury-free Whelan is worth playing over a young player because I think he could play for another 2-3 years easily. I could see him fulfilling his role at 31 if his body can take it.

Problem with Wheels is that being injury-free is almost an alien concept. If, in a year's time by round 12-13 he's missed 4-5 games, then I'd be opting for a younger player. But i think he can fulfill the role needed for the team better than any other player on our list at the moment.

But yes, personally I think it's worth playing him

Getting a bit old I think. Matty Whelan isnt god.

Maric is just so smart, and his ball use is first rate. Not sure why the negative comments.

As for Martin, he is simply phenomenal. To come from his background, having had so little time to adapt to AFL and be thrown into a bottom-team's defence is bloody hard. He has handled it like a champ... cool, calm and collected.

Warnock down back was also terrific by the way.

Yep. Maric, Martin and Warnock all good. Martin - I can see the "footy smarts" in him. And cool? He is like Ice! Nickname: "ICE?"

When was Bartram 19?

First year. 2006.

[heartbeatstrue 57]

This is totally off-topic, but is a goal from outside 50 counted as an inside-50? Does anyone even know what I mean.

By the way, I assume it doesn't.

I think it would, after all it's got to sail through 50 for it to be a goal. Any statistic.., statistishtia... facts & figures guys who know for sure?? :D

My contribution:

Bell - not good enough.

[H_T 3,047]

Bell - stealing Petterds games

Had to laugh. - "stealing"

[52k2 0]

in regards to a couple of players,

Maric- he just seems to have time, he gives the impression he is in total control of any situation he finds himself in.

Martin- is getting better, totally fearless going back, but the game isnt a reflex action for him YET he has to think first, but it will come, its great to see a big body in the backline.

Bartram, had a great third quarter, caused havoc as a small forward got his hands on alot of the ball.

I dont care what onyone says its great singing the song after the game.

And then the next day watching and tapeing it from foxtel, and still abusing the umpires for the amount of times they allowed the eagles to THROW the ball!

Bell - Unable to spoil

Anyone else noticed Bells inability to spoil the ball from behind even when it seems he is right on their hammer?

probably indicates how down on form and confidence he is, considering that last year his spoiling was his best asset.
