Here is a SECOND TIER Eagle that is completely dominating a Semi-Final

Every time I have seen him play he has racked up 35-40 possies and dominated at stoppages

Now compare Priddis to players on our second tier.

Quite amazing really

Player development at clubs like WC and Port is top shelf. The more I think about , the more I believe that Danihers poor player development has set us back 20 years

The exciting thing is that I think this will be one of Dean Baileys strengths

    I 'd compare him to our first tier actually.

    The more you think about it......Yep your right.....Daniher had all these resources at his fingertips that WCE had.... yep you are onto a hot one! :rolleyes:

    Yes he is better than half of our first tier

    Resources? LOL

    And how does that affect player development?

    Mentoring, Training facilities, fitness advisers, personal and leadership training, multiple coaching resources, technology, psychological and medical support facilities etc etc :rolleyes:

    I'm not defending Daniher, but resources DEFINITELY have an impact on player development. It's naive to think otherwise.

    Priddis was missed in four drafts and plucked out of the WAFL.

    West Coast didn't develop him, they spotted him.

    finally some people realising that Daniher's time at Melbourne was too long.

    He's hardly second tier, his season to date proves he is first class, he has been one of the Eagles best.

    he is good, and i like watching him, however sometimes i would like to see him run with the ball, and run the ball out of the stoppage, rather than take the quick kick option, which doesnt always give you the advantage...

    Agree.

    He seems to panic and just bomb it long continually. Needs to take a leaf out Judd, Kerr and Cousins' book and get some composure when he has the ball.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
