Ins/Outs Round 20?

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Surely Wood will get a go ahead of Eagle next week.

Eade really needs to make a mark after that performance.

Unlike Freo, WC have a pretty good defense and young Stack was really shown up today, although the delivery into the fwd 50 was sub standard.

Wood is already in the team.Okeefe for Eagleton is the go as it should have been today & earlier in the season.His composure & goal kicking accuracy would have been handy in the first half today.Did Stack touch it today?

Unfortunately The Coon Dog has ruled a line thru Okeefe so it is unlikely to happen as TCD seems to have a line to Rocket.But It should happen!

We paid the price for over confidence & playing out of form players & not playing form players like Ocka & Skip.
If we let Okeefe go without seeing what he can do at Afl level it will be risky & negligent & could comeback & bite us on the bum.IMO.

Our disposal & decision making was shocking again today as it has been in all our losses.

Never been more gutted after a loss especially knowing we are going to waste another year!

Did Williams get injured again at the end of the game?

Below are some grabs from Eade's press conferance after the game from the AFL website.
It appears there wont be many if any changes.

"Obviously we've got some players who are not consistent with their effort."

Eade described as "total crap" stories circulating that his players had endured a high training load in recent weeks, dismissing the theory as a possible reason for the lacklustre display.

While he bemoaned a kicking efficiency that ran as low as 35 per cent at times, the coach said he would resist the urge to vent his frustration at the selection table this week.

"I don't think you make a knee jerk reaction at this stage," he said.

"In the cold light of day over the next couple of days we'll think about it. The older players are obviously the ones who have to carry the can, but some of the younger ones as well who had their chance didn't grab it. It was across the board.

"I don't think you over-analyse. I think we know without having to look at the tape too much [areas] where we need to rectify, but they're things that we can rectify pretty quickly."

Typical Eade, I wonder which one of those statements he is strong about and who will pay the price of today's result? Wood? Stack? Everitt? Addison? Another week, another game for Eagle. He got 22 touches!

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Really don't think there's any point in calling for Eagle to be dropped. It won't happen. Not sure how far away the injured ones are, but if Murph is right, he's in. I think most of the likes of Wood, Stack, Everitt will stay, given our injured players. So, :

IN - Murphy (if he's right)
OUT - Stack

Unless someone else can come back, that'll be it, I reckon.

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

For me Eagle out Picken in, Minson out Skip in.

Will need to see if Welsh, Murf or Tiler come up. the out would be Mitch.

Pretty much. There are two certainties at the moment with our team selection.

1/ Eagle never gets dropped, no matter how poorly he plays.
2/ GOK will never get a game, no matter how well he plays for Willy. How someone can make such a definitive call without even giving him one chance is amazing.

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

From Rockets press conference, it's good to see that the dame crap from the last 3 years, will continue on.

Let's drop the same blokes every week, and bring in the same.

This is feeling a lot like our the latter third of our season last year.

Anyone got a link to what was said?

And didn't we do the same thing in '07?

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

In: 4 quarter effort, half decent start to the match, pressure, skill, desire.

Out: Performances like today.

no change = no chance

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Honestly I think the handling of GOK has been appalling by the club, either come out like is done with senior players and tell the supporters that he hasnt fulfilled some requirement (if it is off-field) and that he wont be picked for a set period of time. Instead a line is drawn through his name and his career is shot in the arse before its started.
