Round 16: North vs Eagles Review

[Aerie]

Alleway's contribution to the game was enormous and he was the best big man on the ground, kept us in it in a poor first half by the chooks and it was his presence that eventually allowed enough space for Gill to get going after half time.

If Gill isn't a big man, then I agree.

Ha ha very funny

Alleway is a better player than Gill. Gill can do more spectacular things but i'd take Alleway every time for his consistent outstanding contributions.

Different player types Rod- Gilly a sprinter, Alleway a stayer.

Absolutely devastating. Should have had the game put away by half-time. Late goal to Alleway before halftime, even though it was only North's second, you could tell was a critical turning point of the game.

Our foot skills were shocking beyond comprehension. Of all the weeks to drop Schwarze, why this one when we are up against a team with three strong tall forwards?

Only positive is it may have been a learning challenge for Broadbent.

Umpiring was abysmal, but basically came down to three crucial decisions - 2 resulted in North goals in thrid quarter, one that should have given us a shot in the last when 5 points down.

Proves how good Cicca is - even half fit we probably scored more than 3/4 of our goals and looked fa more dangerous when he was on the ground.

Also proves how piss poor Eagles recruiting has been the last 2 years when were desparate for 2 or 3 more in the Cicca type mould , as our midfield relies on bit players , or too old or too young ; take your pick ! For Fuller to say in the paper that all we can do now is play more kids , is pathetic & tells that hes lost any idea of rejuvenation for his coaching style / gameplan / motivation . Ron its time up old chap !

[cd]

Certainly believe we missed Rimmer on the weekend.

Despite this being a public forum this is not the place for disciplined elected officials of Football clubs to go sprouting their views ad nauseum on their respective football clubs - especially on important issues of recruiting, coaches futures and new CEOs. I for one applaud CD for maintaining his discipline and still posting on here.

Without having met the man I am sure at the appropriate forum - board meetings - he will express his views. I for one do not wish to read of them on here.

What benefit of it is it to the WWT FC to air dirty laundry on here?

[holden78]

Oh how I wish we had some interesting linen to launder ? Ofcoarse hes not allowed to say anything , an idiot knows that , Im just tweaking their club passion ( God knows Fuller cant to the supporters or players ) . ANYWAY go away to your Micken For Life thread ! Us Eagles will deal with our own predicaments !

And Clearly at Prospect Saturday Ken got injured at some point .He went off was being tested on the sidelines and did not really get back into the game.

MacGregor was in the game??? He was absolutely towelled up by Alleway from the start and he wasn't injured then. Other than conceding almost every one on one contest to Alleway the only other option MacGregor had was to give away a free kick. Poor old Kenny, it even looked like the SANFL had passed him by on Saturday.
.

Well let me put it this way DREBIN .Kenny came off put on his track suite top and was running up and down the boundary get watched by a club offical perhaps medical staff or fitness personal .
Most of the eagles backline was getting towelled after 1/2 time or 3/4 time Drebin .Before that most of your forwards followed your seconds performance by kicking points .Then again at least they could get the bloody ball not like the EAGLEs Forwards.

I think that's a bit rough on CD Holden he would have to be the best board member of any of the SANFL clubs .
You seem to be in the know Holden why not approach others on the board and get the ball rolling !!

Spot on. Holden, you must be pretty close to the action around the club, is there anything you have done to help?

Yep, i realise that. My point was if i could only choose one i'd take Alleway every time. No disrespect to Gill who is a brilliant player though.

agreed was a stupid report

[Wedgie]

Thanks for the info too mate, I passed it onto the Roost forum.

[TigerBoss]

I think the report was justified, but commonsense has prevailed...if Schwarze got off, there was no way in hell Gill would've been given weeks...
