Article in The West over here today by Paul Haselby imploring the Eagles to go after blokes like Dow, Zurhaar etc....and basically do what we did with Jack Martin....offer up nothing as a trade and walk them through to the Pre-Season Draft and get them for nothing. He was suggesting someone like Dow offers them an inside mid with some leg speed....something they're lacking at the moment. But, if he did sign a one-year extension as was reported, then they'll have to come up with something. Their second rounder will be an early one and I think they also have Port's second rounder too....both probably a bit higher than what they'd offer.

OK, so we get a few players back (McKay and Martin, and recently Stocker). We have been blooding a few kids (Carroll and Motlop) and even giving Dow a run for the first time in a long time.

*teams come out*

OUT: Carroll, Motlop, Dow, Stocker
IN: Boyd

How? Why?
Please explain.

Carroll was panicky against the pies and definitely due a rest, whilst Motlop simply hasn’t done enough since making the side

Cottrell, Dow and Stocker are very stiff and far from our worst

Stocker should be playing ahead of Boyd..Cottrell probably got punished for Collingwood wingers playing so well.
Amon having a blinder vs the Tigers and might be upping his price...

Agreed

Also think that the Dow can’t play wing theory is nonsense

Cottrell was poor and wasted half of his possessions, but Newnes wasn’t much better.  O’Brien had a decent game but he also let Sidebottom get away.

I thought Stocker was OK, apart from a couple of shanked kicks, but he’s not in great form.  Even so, I can’t see how Boyd offers more.


It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

You reckon Amon was good last night EB? I though his disposal in particular was very ordinary.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

That was the same knock on Cerra. He's turned out alright.

Say what you like about Amon, but the one take away I could see is that he ran hard both ways.

He isnt dissimilar to Lachie O'Brien really.

Agree, to a degree, Big 6.

Carroll was clearly overwhelmed but will benefit from the experience. Motlop was way off what was needed but will also benefit from the experience and realise what is required.

Unfortunately Stocker is out of form and just looks to need more confidence. Cottrell just didn't do his job well enough against the Dagpies.

Not at all surprised that Dow was dropped.

Seems Boyd has been recalled for a specific job. This kid has two huge things going for him... attitude and courage, as does Stocker but Stocks seems down on form/confidence. In time, hopefully, both will become highly effective players for us.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

If Bolton plays forward for Richmond and Boyd takes him we will get slaughtered....

I prefer LOB to Amon every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I don't think Carroll was panicky per se', I think he is just plain old slow with ball in hand and right now,  unable to make decisions fast enough. More time in the 2s working on quick decision make and he'll be fine. Perhaps they need to say instruct him  to play on instinct, if he messes up that's fine but do what your head says first time.

Not a fan of either.....
Re: Amon, got a lot of ball last night and is a higher possession winner than LOB and can hit the scoreboard.
Don't disagree his disposal was off at times but he was one of Ports best in a fairly poor standard game.
Would I pay big money for Amon...no way as he isn't my type of player but given our wings are a problem position I think Voss will be interested given he is a free agent and he knows him well.
