Nice overview of the Eagles work so far but let's take a bit of mayonnaise off the obvious!
Martyn was basically playing League footy only because he had leg speed above most of the rest of
Godden's squad and was a dead set Reserve grade specialist.
Refer to his GF performance If there's any doubt, plus week in week out he looked ok coz he was in a winning
side ( passenger ).
The Eagles have probably a dozen kids to try out on the wing with plenty of potential rather than Martyn taking up
a spot! Upgrade here a certainty.
Thurlow while showing signs and having nice size, really didn't grab his chance when fit ie. especially in the GF, BUT that
goes for all players except for Michael Wunke
3 well paid ruckman is one too many these days and Redden is a Premiership player with talent and size.......
Upgrade here also.
Now the bull dust has settled on another GF loss at Oval Ave, let's drag out the Big question left over from that game.
Why didn't our senior players turn up and perform as a group ( Wunke & Allmond excluded ) ???
Thommo, Guiffreda, Goldsworthy, Lewis, Raymond, Jarryd, Ainger, Hall, Petrenko ( although hurt hand ), Martyn and Thurlow
couldn't be happy with their performances when asked to show how good they were.
Leadership should be the No. 1 Recruit for 2016 and won't cost any transfer $ as it mostly must be found from within!
