    And they should have lost last week also. Maybe tapering, or hopefully going off the boil a bit. They have been 'up and about' for a long time.

    Average post.

    Why does Dre get the blow torch applied after a bad half, when guys like Eagle and Hahn can have stinker after stinker and get a free run from the MC?

    Can they? We haven't seen either of them have 'stinker after stinker' so we don't know, as I recall Hahn was among our best bunch last week and Eagle was just about our best both last week and against the Crows. Both have spent time at Willi and come back to put in good performances, Everitt needs to do the same.

    Hahn was terrible before getting injured. He then came back via Willy for a token 2 week spell before being promoted off a 2 goal game in a 12 goal win against the worst VFL team in history. You claimed Hahn as one of our best - if last week's 13 disposals and 1 tackle represents his best return then we're better off developing a kid instead.

    Eagle has had a patchy year to the extent where the MC were forced to drop him; an unprecedented move. He was just about worst on ground against Geelong in another perfomance that highlighted his complete ineptitude in games against true quality opposition yet still got a run last week.

    Everitt has done plenty of time in the VFL and put up some solid performances. He doesn't deserve the chop after his first game back.

    There was nothing wrong with Hahn's form before he got injured, it certainly wasn't terrible. You must know as well as I that goal and disposal counts are misleading in the extreme, especially when talking about Mitch. He's barely ever in the bottom 5 players week to week so why does his name come up so regularly at the 'WOOF Selection Table'? Absolute rubbish.

    Yes, Eagleton has gone back to Willy when he hasn't performed, so what's the issue? In reference to the Geelong game, no player performed even close to their best, it was an 100 point loss FFS, so why make a big deal of Eagleton's game when his past month has been as good as at least half the team's?

    I would also like to see Everitt persevered with for more than 1-3 weeks but not right before the finals and definitely not ahead of any except the worst performed players, of which Hahn and Eagleton are not.

    Who mentoned Eagle and Hahn?

    Assuming "Dre" is Andrejs, he must have known his career was on the line. Then he put in a stinker, put in a half ar5ed effort, then gave up a goal by being poorly disciplined just on half time. May even get cited for it.

    He doesn't have any credits in tha bank where he can afford to not give 100%.

    Eagle and Hahn are in the latter stages of their careers, but at least Eagle can flow in and out of a game, better then just being out.

    He kicked 3 goals tonight so thats a fair romp.

    WHile Hahn has had a lousy year, he was "ok" tonight and pretty much held his own in defence. Also could play up forward if (when) things are going tits up.

    Re: The Good News Thread

    Eagle has been above what people are claiming he is, watching him over the last few weeks because some posters bag him I believe he deserves his place in the side, goes in, has that long raking shot at goal that usually gets the 6 points, knows how to get out on his own, a lot of experience in him on how to do things.
    Do we have another just as good to replace him?

    Eagle has been good 2 out of the last 3 weeks. The fact that we're still relying on him to be a line breaker highlights the lack of running depth we have.

    I'd almost bet the house that he's unsighted next week, however.

    Re: The Good News Thread

    Haven't visited this thread for two days. Wondered how long it would be before people ignored the thread title, now I have my answer.

    Good news: We are no longer the same team (literally) that has only won 2 out of 11 (or something like that) against the other top four teams over the last two years. You can't win it if you aren't in it. Bring on September.

    Back to the thread title...Good news:

    We're in September action, and there are 8 teams who aren't.
