Rnd 5 - North v Eagles @ Prospect (Sat 21/4)

[Wedgie]

Very annoyed that I'm missing this game as my son is playing for the Crows in the half time little league match, despite him not going on till about 6pm we have to be there at 2.40pm and sit through a half of Crows v GWS. Grrrrrrr!

At least it is on TV so you can tape it / iQ it and watch it back later on...

Power have dropped Redden so should line up for the Eagles.
Matt Thomas dropped aswell so will play ressies for Eagles

Cornesy just said on AA that Redden was being 'rested' so my not play for the Eagles - not named for them at this stage.

Geez the Crows must be going really bad picking knights last week he couldn't run or kick or get near the ball!!!

Lindsay has a heap of pace

He did get 30 possies and 2 goals Mickyj! Not the worst out there by any means. Still short of his best though - seems to have lost his zip.

Eagles Injuries

Jake Fairclough - Knee (Test)
Luke Powell - Knee (4-6 weeks)
Sam Heinjus - Ankle (Test)
Christian Bock - Foot (2 weeks)
Craig Parry - Elbow (Test)
Travis Lane - Hamstring (2 weeks)
Robert Eddy - Shin (1 week)

Yes yes, we all know. Violins anyone?
It's round 3 FFS.

Out of that list only Powell, Parry and Eddy are the players who are of league standard. We should not be blaming injuries for where we are at the moment. Poor recruiting, and senior players playing ordinary are the main reasons.

I'd say the loss of Wright for North balances out our loss of Knights.

Has anyone seen how Ellis-Yolmen and Joyce have played this year in the reserves? I haven't seen their names in the best players in any of the games this year. I'd hate to think we are picking them purely because they are on the Crows list. They need to earn their spot.

couldn't run, kick or get near the ball. I wish I could play that bad and still have 30 and kick 2 goals

[eaglehaslanded]

Only 17 of the 30 possessions were effective though. For an AFL listed player this simply isn't good enough.

Glad hes not playing (or at least i hope he doesent) Shirley should go with him left right out .

Granted, past performances should not guarantee future games, but being a bit hard of Knights I reckon.
Been pretty good for us over the years, coming from Victoria and being mini-drafted to us.
