Round 9 - A Tale of Two Harleys

Word is that Freo's recruiters are keeping a close eye on players name Ducati, Suzuki or Honda as it appears they'll be a lot more reliable and dependable than players recently brought into the side.

West Coast are still not playing their best footy but have a few players (Sheed, Duggan, Shepherd etc) starting to hit their straps and are facing an Essendon with their tales up. The key will be to shut down a potential future Brownlow medallist in Zac Merrett and making sure that Daniher doesn't hug any of our players (or kick too many goals). Lecca to kick a bag and West Coast to get up in this on. 

Freo should win comfortably although this game last year provided much mirth when the Blues got up and the owen jokes unexpecedly continued on... for another 5 weeks. The biggest question is whether Kawasaki Bennell will be handing out his pearls of wisdom to his 'team mates' during the breaks.

Pies and the Hawks are playing off to see who gets the better draft pick. I'm going for the Pies simply because the Hawks gave up their first pick to the Saints for a bloke they can't even get on the park!

Sun, 2017-05-21 19:32

 I heard today a politician was found dead wearing an Eagles gurnsey,

 

Apparently they put make up on him and dressed him in female underwear to save his family from embarrassment....

 

I stick to my word Frost about the 3 recruits, very happy with Mitchell, Vickory will come good and if they can get/keep Omeara on the field he'll be a top 10 mid!!

 

Vickory coleman was obviously tongue in cheek..... 

 

Now Paully.... You still havent fessed up as to who you follow?

 

Perhaps someone else can help out here as maybe he's a little shy which is kinda cute.....

 

I'm guessing a bitter Eagles supporter, 91 GF musta hurt when the Hawks pumped you, 2015..... OUCH.....

 

And i guess if you have got the sooks on about Hawthorn then yeah i can imagine the 10 goaling recently to remind you how shit the Eagles are at the G that would also get some one one eyed pretty pissed....

 

You mentioned the Hawks got smoked by the Pies Paully, if 18 points is a smoking can you tell me what you would call what the Bombers did to the Eagles today mate?

 

Pants down no lube from what i heard but yeah i'd prefer to hear it from you when you get the chance....

I see Priddis for what he is, a grunt midfielder that gets it to the outside, Tom Mitchell -  2 possesions out of 50 damaging is a load of shit even by your lowly standards

Mon, 2017-05-22 07:50

had a Home open at 12 so taped the FN game. My agent is Daniel Bandy ( X Docker and Bull dog) and on return spoiled it by saying eagles getting flogged. Thought he was pulling my leg so turned on the "live" game. Turned it off and deleted the tape.
Just don't understand how a team can be so up, and yet so down. Suspect another "allsoran" season now, but perhaps they cant play any worst east.
As for the surprise packet - Dockers starting to look almost good.

 I suppose the eagles are between a rock and a hard place in terms of they will play finals but is it all wishful thinking or do they start looking beyond that .

I suppose the next few weeks will determine that and get some games into some young blokes if there’s any coming through ? ..

I see Nelson was available but not selected though played wafl based on what I’ve seen of him he’d easily be best 22

 Gilly, Valid comment and of

Mon, 2017-05-22 19:39

 Gilly,

 

Valid comment and of course Hodge Burgoyne and Gibson will cop the too old too slow comments all year and the worse the team performs the more the heat will come on them...

 

I personally hope Hodge ( who i know is playing for fuck all salary wise, i know of two cuts he's taken to his contract ) and Burgoyne both play on next year!!

 

I dont see the game has passed Hodgie, Of course his role has had to change but right now he's in the Hawks best 22 and you cant tell me there is a club in the comp that wouldnt want Burgoyne in their side even though he's up n down in his form more nowadays but again that could come down to the team asking too much from him....

 

To change tack, I thought the same thing about Ricky Ponting when IMO he was forced into retirement basically by the negative reporting that continually went on late in his career ( i know he wasnt the punter of old but fuck how much pressure was put on the bloke )...

 

Until there was someone better to take Pontings position at 3 he should have been free to play out his career, and to me if Hodge isnt taking a large chunk of salary cap then fuck why wouldnt you have him as a listed player.....

 

If the Hawks were playing better footy then no one would be concerned about Hodge and co....

 

Also you have to remember our backline has been decimated now with injuries, Stratton, Frawley and Burchall were all out on the weekend so when you play a kiwi that was playing in his second game ( he went alright mind you ) there is going to be much more heat on the seniour players like Hodge down there...

 

If Mitchell was still at the Hawks would he also be ( still ) too old and too slow?

 

Anyway the Hawks have alot of work to do but hopefully get a few players back and give it a nudge in the second half of the year, in the meantime the youngins can have a dig...

 

How good is Burton going to be!!
