Even if The Eagles win tonight, they surely wont pick him next week on the back of no game at all this week? Had the Ressies played this week he would be a sniff next week. He is a class or 2 above ressies footy but the cards havent fallen his way in his comeback from his ACL

We didn't get to see you at the game last night after all.
What happened? Too busy hiding behind your computer posting your inane comments and too gutless to face your former WWWT friends?
I have read and heard your "dribble" all year about your allegiances (or not) to the SANFL and in particular to your parting of the ways with the WWWT footy club. While you have every right to do what you think is right and you may have quite valid reasons for your decisions, it is not appropriate for you to stick the boots in to our club at every opportunity!
Our players did not vote for the AFL to join the league, but our players (and ex players) hit the field week after week and have had to play against former team mates and their former club - these are the guys I support! If I didn't support them, there is NO WAY I would jump to another club - ask any true supporter of any club - I would sooner sever a limb!!
I am not in favour of the AFL in the SANFL but I would NEVER turn my back on my club!
I remember very clearly that you told me "no matter what, I will always be an Eagles member....I may not be able to attend every game but I will be an Eagles member for life" - Hollow words my friend! Not only did you renege on this, you publically wished for South to "smash" the Eagles last night and throughout the season! Well you got your wish after all!
And before anyone gets on and gives me curry - please note, this has nothing to do with football - it is ENTIRELY personal!!
I wish South all the very best for the rest of the finals - they deserve to be there. You guys played with passion last night showing solid structure and team discipline - well done!
And LPH - I hope you do stay away from the SANFL next year as you say.......it doesn't need you.

We were only in the game in the first half due to their poor kicking for goal. We probably should have been about 7 goals down at the final siren.
The eagles again showed they don't have a modern gameplan to counter the opposition dropping a loose defender behind the ball.
Anything short of a complete clean-out over summer is unacceptable and will see us slide further down the ladder.
A ruckman and 2 quality midfielders should be the bare pass mark for the club's recruiting given how far our coach has let our exisiting midfield degrade during his tenure. This could well be a 2-3 year process given the high probability that it won't be achieved next year.
The door needs to be shown to players who have been at the club for a while but have shown they don't have the skills to play at the level needed. Players like Hall, Sumner, Kane and potentially Allmond should be in the cross-hairs.
Other players who are on big $$ - Ainger and Boyd - have both been extremely poor and a waste of money. Once their contracts are up I'd be shipping them on to another club to free up some cash to spend on other talent.
Not too many positives from our season. Von Bertouch should be the Club Champion for mine with Jarrad runner-up. Batley continued to improve but we need to further see him step it up a notch next year. Wundke did what he was paid to do and wasn't helped by lack of delivery from a shite midfield. McGregor was fantastic in the role he was assigned. Finally, Templeton started slowly but upon his return from injury late in the season played reaonably well and looks good as a key defender.
All players in the squad ne

Also do stats show where frees are given ie forward or back.
