Rnd 6: Eagles v South @ Maughen Thiem Hyundai Oval (Sun 5/5)

[blueandwhite]

I think you will find the problem with Ainger is the club (South) supported his move from Canberra in 2011. Set him with a absolute "plum" job with the SANFL, got him a home etc....etc....

He did his ankle in 2012 and South supported him 100 % for the season.

Then he shopped around behind the clubs back and went to all clubs "whoring himself" around.

Eagles paid top dollar and he would not go without his little mate (Carey).

Poor IMO.

Thats part of the issue we have!!!

can assure you the safc did a lot more than that for him as well!!!!!

Maybe get Ronnie to punch him in the back of the head in the race this weekend

If thats the case, Ronnie may find himself at the end of a long queue methinks...

Sorry to say this but you South guys need to move on .There's a bridge being built over the Torrens perhaps you guys should all get over it !!!

Can we go back to discussing the game !!

Like I said B&W.....part of the issue

I thought I read somewhere that Ainger is good mates with Brent Tuckey....

[klaan]

I understand the AA is residing in a rental provided by the former WWT ceo.
I wonder if he provided a reference from the Marion hotel??????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You understand wrongly.

Although it annoys me that we've lost Parry, Boyd, Warren, Ainger and his little mate, we should be looking at the reasons why. Instead of constantly saying these blokes are going because of money, how about we start to get them to stay? No good making $100K plus profits if we consistantly end up out of the finals.

[Jim05]

Eagles should get Petrenko this week, cant see the Cows carrying him any longer

Restecpa .. Good post mate, always gotta focus first on fixing your own backyard before having a crack at the methods of opponents. South slowly getting it together and the Eagles (imho) weren't overly impressive last week, but still think they'll be too strong at home. Eagles by 17 points.

Not sure what the problems are with Ainger. From an Eagles supporters point of view he is doing just fine! Importantly it also allows Grocke to get his body right instead of playing him out of desperation. Better than paying someone who doesn't perform - and we've had a few of those over the last few years.

Anything that was paid for Parry was worth it. His performances have been high quality since he's been here, including on the biggest stage.

South have let a few quality players go. I hope the South supporters enjoy reading their financial statements over the off-season, while other clubs with South recruits watch Grand Final DVD's.

OUCH!

[The Sleeping Giant]

No Mitchell and Vince no Eagles.

[RB]

No Ainger and Parry no South?

Distant cousin to Rhys Archard also...

Good to see Murphy back after two dominate performances in the twos. Winnable game this one.

[Big Phil]

Kane Mitchell re-elevated to the Power's Rookie List as a result of the long term foot injury to Jackson Trengrove...

Eagles would expect to lose him to the AFL this week, based on his elevation back onto a main AFL list...

[FlyingHigh]

See Sam Richmann is on the injury list for the season.
Didn't he do his knee last year and miss most of the year too?
Hard luck for him and South, thought he had a bit of talent.

Seems like a pretty strong South side. This will be a very tough game for the Eagles and I am actually going to back South by 4 goals.

I don't think the Eagles team has been announced but I agree with some other comments that it is pretty likely Mitchell will be in with the Power this week - they wouldn't have elevated him so quickly otherwise. He may not play this week but is likely to go as a travelling emergency. He will be a huge loss. South have a lot of very quick players and with the loss of Mitchell and (likely) loss of Karpany, we will need to elevate two midfielders who will most likely be Poole and Schwarz for his first game. We will be back to our super slow side and this will cost us. IF Petrenko gets dropped this week it will partially offset the loss. While he is a complete hack at AFL level, he is very good at SANFL level.

For South supporters, how have you seen Dowdell's form in the SANFL this year? I have only seen his stats in the paper and they don't look too bad. Will he be a big loss this week or not?

No big loss at all. ATM think Bass has more to offer as Dowdell is a massive unit but really needs to do more around ground and brush up on some skills. Saw him drop a few chest marks last weekend and I am sure Ron noticed hence the rest in the 2's this week.
