Dees by four goals

I don't know what's more deluded- your tip or "liking" your own post lol.

Bate sub? Bet you he's glad Neeld coaxed him to stay. What's the point. Where is the chance to prove yourself. Where is the incentive- I'm sure being sub two weeks in a row would be very disheartening.

Anway, bring on the onslaught.

Spot on about Bate. Thought he did enough last week to warrant at least 3/4s of a game this week.

Stef out for Tom McDonald. Puts alot of pressure on Jamar. Bate sub again.

That could make it a tie for Mystery Injury of the Week between Stef and Beamer. Neither was on the injury list from earlier in the week. On top of that Dan Nicholson was suspended for drinking while in rehab but not on the injured list and Aaron Davey wasn't selected to play for either MFC or Casey this weekend.

Glad we recruited the best sports scientists in the land to ensure our list stayed healthy.

Look fforward to see how Mcdonald goes. There's my reason to watch :)

The gut is getting worse... Stef out and Bate sub... Here we go. I so want to be optimistic but it's getting harder and harder to be! Just want to see a bit of fight!! Go Dee's!!

Just want to see players getting better at implementing Neeld's game plan and improving the basics like positioning at stoppages.

I like Tom McDonald. A real competitor who also provides surprising run for a player of his height. Can get lost in a 1 on 1 marking contest in defence but a good pack spolier.

Hope Clark has a run in the ruck, as someone said on SEN crunch time, Ottens went to Geelong as their answer as a key forward and look what he ended up. I can see the same with Clark, very mobile big man and would be damaging around the ground.

Scenario... Sellar develops really well as a KPF, Jamar gets stolen by GWS, Clark goes into the ruck? Bit of bad, bit of good, but can understand a bit more now why we were so keen on Clark, good back up

Agree with you there. Bennell should be sub. If Davey does somehow end up playing, I won't be watching.

I disagree. We don't have much speed or line breaking options in this team as it is. He needs to put in over 4 quarters, i would hope off the HB line and play the game of his life if we're to have any chance of keeping it under 12 goals i reckon. And when he's not running his guts out off HB then he should be resting in the forward line to try and create some crumbing/goal scoring opportunities there if at all possible. No genuine small forward in this team which is nothing new for us i realise.

I thought I'd kick off Gameday early so we can actually talk about footy instead of the other stuff that's been in the media.

I think it's fair to say there are a lot of pessimists around and probably rightly so after our last half last week and the sombre mood that seems to be pervading the club.

On the other hand, we have 22 blokes out there. What if everyone of them played at his best?

Here are the midfield match ups taken from today's Herald Sun:-

Priddis v Grimes

Yes, we need to be at our best and we don't have the star factor but I'm not buying into a 24 goal defeat either.

Bartram v Priddis?

Im assuming Clark will ruck today at some stage. He will have to. Jamar cant do it on his own all day. Its 30 degrees over there. Disappointed Bate is sub again. We need amiracle to win today. Just hope they go out there and man up on there players and give it there all.

Oops.... after your comment WYL i though i better check total games played and the related average. I had an incorrect formula sitting in the Eagles column. Ours remains as is (unfortunately lol) but you might want to reconsider that upstairs bit a tad lol. Thanks for prodding me though. Always pays to double check your formulas once in a while :)

P.S. On a lighter note (pardon the pun) the previous team 'games average' i had in their for the Eagles was their average weight lol

Geez thats a great short left by scarlett

Just the Eagles total number of games played....and their "average games played". Although the word just is probably not a good term given it's a fair jump from the original figure :wacko:

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
