    Cooney - Gone?

    Ive not heard much on what people thought of Cooneys game today and into the future?

    I didnt notice him much, certainly not what he once was. Fairly ineffectual!

    Is it too early to right him off after round 1?

    Is it worth continuing with him if he isn't ever going to be 100%?

    Should we just give opportunities to others? Or wait till half way thru the year, when the season in done and dusted?

    Can or will he make it back to him best??

    I hope so.....

    He probably can't get back to Brownlow best form but he can still be a good player. I thought he was OK today

    We've known for a while that he would never be the same again. He is far from our worse.

    He didn't star, but wasn't that bad today.

    He had 19 touches today and did some very good things. Even though he is seen as an outside player, in fact he gets his own ball a lot of the time and gets a quick handpass out. He set up a few goals and kicked two himself.

    His tackles are ferocious. He wraps players up. Alot of other had butter fingers today.

    Way too many head high tackles today, this needs to be addressed during the week.

    Wasn't the only one! Picken had a nice collection. Roughead. But also, the Eagles had quite a few. I guess it was just one of those days.

    Such a shame.

    Was it mis-management (continuing to play with a cracked kneecap) that has made his knee so bad? Or just bad luck?

    Didn't someone say that McCloud's injury was far worse and he was able to play on?

    Re: Cooney - Gone?

    Cooney is a big worry for me. He was ok today but he has had plenty of time to get himself right for round 1. The worry is how well he will be able back up week after week with that knee. He is also the highest paid player at the club and you can write your own ticket with odds of him giving us value for money on that contract. Im not sure what we can do about it though. when does he come out of contract?

    Thought he moved ok and kicking looked better than at times last year. Still believe we will see some exciting footy from him.

    Who sees him as an outside player?

    He done ok and there will be games where he shows his best again, but we can't expect that from him especially not week in week out.. Minson and cooney are a good combo I think and Griffen back in the side seems to lift coneys game as they complement eachother. Here's hoping that griff is fine for next week
