Re: Round 21 Team
If I can speak for Dre for one moment - I want a trade.
5 changes and he's out yet again - stuff me.

Re: Round 21 Team
Yeah Doc26 he must be thinking to himself "What the F do i have to do". I thought he had been playing ok the last few weeks and was one of few that actually did ok last week. He's more mobile than Hahn and can at least pinch hit in the ruck. He would also be a candidate to run with Goodes, especially at the scg if needed.
Would love to hear Rockets views as to WHY he was dropped.I will never see #16 the same!!Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Some of the coaches had a meeting with Roughy earlier in the week and told him to work on his defensive side, so he will play this week and take that famous Scott Wynd "drop back and fill the hole" role. (suited to the SCG)
From my mail, for whatever that is worth:
They are playing Hahn, given his form last week and the SCG suits him. (however he will NOT play against the bombers in round 22, as they are all about speed, which he does not have)
Lake is doubtful at best, hence why Roughy was omitted, knowing there is a strong chance he shall play.
Personally I would have stuck with Everitt and dropped Callan Ward, I would have even gone so far as to have played Dre on the ball/wing at times, Sydney has NO matchup for him at all. (imagine him on Mike Pyke - he would cut him up alive)Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Saw Addison at uni today, so he is obviously not up in Sydney with the side. I like the balance of the side. Sydney don't have two ruckmen and pitch hit with Pyke.
Being a small ground Hudson is up for the challenge and i thought Williams did alright against the Dees earlier in the year as a back up."Loves a scrap....oh yeah & he's a pretty handy footballer as well"Comment

[QUOTE=jazzadogs;171617]Not sure Everitt deserved to be dropped for Hahn in the first place...[/QUOTE]
Very perplexed by this......to me was one guy who could actually hold his head up at the end of the game......Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Really feel fore Dre (unless they are planning to play him for Lake anyway). Seems like Eade judges him a lot harder than most. I know he has issues with his intensity, I think Dre's main issue is his confidence and I really do not believe Eade and the MC are helping at all.
Having Hahn and Eagle in the side ahead of Dre is both ridiculous and sadly, predictable. I really wish Dre well at GC/next side, let's see what he is like under a coach who has some belief in him. Easy to forget he is only 21, especially young for a taller type (I know he doesn't play as a tall but I believe it takes inbetween/tall types longer). Anyways.Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
I (would) find it odd that we are factoring in the SCG so much considering we virtually locked into 4th spot whether we win or lose on Saturday. Freo are sending a skeleton squad to Tassie and will get hammered, they are concentrating on Round 22 and trying to lock in 5th spot. Why worry so much about a side suiting the SCG when the finals are such a different ball game? Would seem/seems very short sighted (hardly a surprise with Eade and the MC though).Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
This.
I've lost complete faith in the MC. The fact that Eagleton, Hahn and Ward (injured, not fit - whatever) play ahead of Everitt is pathetic. Andrejs was one of few players who did OK against Geelong.
Williams being played as a part time ruck? He's done well in this role, but as GVG said, I don't like the 'planning' of it. Massive injury risk.W00F!Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
At least Jones kept his spot. He'd done nothing wrong in the 3 weeks proceeding.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Hahn better play well, I would much rather Everitt in that team!Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Not sure what Im most frustrated at Everitt not playing or Eagleton and Hahn playing.
When Hahn was in the team he wasn't in great form and from all reports his form hasn't been great at Williamstown so why has he earned a recall?
Perhaps both Hall and Lake won't be playing?
As much as things change, everything stays the same.More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Eade isn't the only one on the MC who is hard on Everitt. They still don't know where to play him and don't believe his strengths outweigh his negatives.
Eagleton's game was pathetic last week and for him to receive another game shows just how predictable we are.Comment

Re: Round 21 Team
Doesn't bother me that Hahn is in, but Everitt - Its hard to say it but I think hes going to be traded (highly rumored to be linked with the Saints last trade round). If he does get an opportunity at another club I think they will used him more effectively in a role on the wing, something we don't do enough - and have players like Eagleton ahead of him - do not understand.Comment
