Yeah Eddy is probably our most consistent youngster but IMO he doesn't have the same potential.
When you look at David Armitage and Jack Steven you see two guys who have the potential to really make an impact. When you look at Eddy you see a hard working no fuss player who can do their bit but are never truly locked into the starting 22.
He's got the attitude, fitness, speed, tackling, athleticism and courage, but he doesn't have the footy brain or the skills IMO...

[quote="St DAC"]He's a terrific athlete from what I've seen and heard. Was well respected at Gippy Power for his endurance and work rate. Needs to sharpen his skills (not alone there) but nothing wrong at all with his effort level ** cough cough ** Armo ** cough cough **[/quote]
????????????- Does Armo being injured make his effort questionable. I'm confused by this one.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

No, it doesn't. We all want a fully fit Armo this year.DWOODROW wrote:????????????- Does Armo being injured make his effort questionable. I'm confused by this one.
Anyway, how is he? We're all excited about him and we like the sound of him being more focussed on the job this year.
He could be a really important part of our future if he wants it bad enough; we'd certainly be delighted to see him develop into an elite midfielder.
Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

The message that has been coming out of St Kilda is that Armitage's work ethic isn't up to AFL standard and it was his fitness that was keeping him out of the starting 22 in 2008.DWOODROW wrote:Me too. From what I've heard he seems to be training as hard hard as ever within his limitations. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful just wandering if there was a slight dig at him and or his work ethic. If so i would like to tell him to sort his s*** but I'm pretty happy with what he has to say.
Hopefully David really puts in because he has a huge amount of talent and he can kick goals!!

well i saw him at the Sandy game and he looked in great nick. I'm sure he had his hammy or whatever he is supposed to have but he has definately put in a big pre-season. Was built like a brick with the legs of an athlete. Can't wait until Armo has a sustained crack at seniors footy. Same goes for Jack Steven.
