    'WILL' the Bald Eagle play his 200th game for the WBFC this week?

    The question is 'will he', not 'should he', 'could he' or the like.

    Pick your option.

    200 is a marvelous milstone and to go past Choco on 199 would put him in rare company. Sure he is arguably tapering away, but 200 games for our club would be a sensational effort.

    Yes, unfortunately.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        Arguably? Are your eyes painted on?

          It actually says should he on the poll question.

          He will get a game but he shouldn't.

              Nathan will play no doubt but he should of been given the arse at the end of last year.

                  Fair enough, but I don't think that there was a need for the 'arguably', even his biggest fan can see that he is struggling with both body & mind.

                  BTW it's an indictment that there is a need for this thread anyway.

                    Where is the option.

                    Yes, because we don't ever drop anyone with reputation.

                      First point, we all know what i was getting at... Second point, I agree. I have come full circle and now want to see him gracefully retire at seasons end. I want him out this week too, but at 199, it's a little cruel. But as Rocco has said so eloquently, you can't blame Eagleton for accepting games. That's why this thread exists, because he seems to games no matter what, and if on any game he should be dropped last week was absolutely it. But will his 200th or coaches pet tag keep him in the team. The argument needs to move beyond Nathan as a player to why will the coaches not drop him. I don't get it, if selection is on form, we haven't seen the best of Nathan for 2 months...

                        The biggest indictment is how unlikely it is that he will be dropped.

                              With Crossy having ankle surgery I can see Eagleton getting a reprieve now.
