A strong team named there. Would love updates from any woofers who go. Go Scraggers!

Single digit numbered players should be plying their trade better than to be playing VFL.

Higgins? and Grant? Could it be time at the end of the year for these two BT.

They're too talented to cut. Grants contracted and of no trade value. Higgins can be re-signed if a high offer isn't forthcoming, if it is, then it's up to the club to make that call.

How easily people forget the talent of this bloke.

This year has struggled a bit with his foot injury

Re: ROUND 18 - Werribee Tigers vs Footscray Bulldogs

He should be in the side on a regular basis by now, injury aside.
It's not good enough

Why do you think his out of favour with Macca.

I'm sure we'll start seeing an improved effort and work rate once his contract is close to the end. Amazing what a free run some players get while the same supporters bash other better performed players constantly.

60 games in 7 years and at 25 has probably 4-5 years left before retirement. Hall of fame Eker.

He hasn't really missed a lot of footy. There is no injury excuse, he simply hasn't performed well enough over his career to be regularly selected.

It's effort and consistency I'd reckon.
Hasn't been hurt for 7 years .

Back to my question. Could he be delisted or should we persist with him still. He did show some good signs at the end of last season. Could we trade him? Who would want to pick him up and would we really get anyone much better if we did.

Good to see Pearce named.

Well he is contracted for 2015, but he does need to get back to what he was doing late in 2013. Wouldn't expect much trade currency but surely we would look at any offers.
