Eddy's injuries
Watching the B&F tonight I realised what a tough run Eddy had in just the last few weeks. Broken hand, dislocated jaw, cracked tooth, broken arm.
Hats off the the young man for battling on. Much respect.

Eddy is a tough nut, but looks like a fish out of water in the forward line. I think I can only see him as a ruck rover type of player..memories of the late Travis Payze. I don't think we can carry Eddy and Geary in one team. We have a lot of one-paced players who have no burst ability on the run, Eddy, Geary, Hayes, Dal Santo and that is a worry- Hayes is a champ though.

Did have a good run going into the finals, but once we made the GF's, seems all he did was get smashed up. I'm afraid he's made an example of himself due to these performances, one that might see us favour someone else.PJ wrote:I initially thought this guy had no class and was just a battler but there were signs this year - is well worth persisting with could be a rough diamond.

I do not offer the following as an excuse...more an observation...
We were carrying a few sore buggers both on and off the field...Clarke, Eddy, Dal, Gram, Kosi (allegedly), Fisher, Steven etc...
As far as I can see Collingwood were not.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

You can include our main tagger - Jones, he did have a broken foot apparently. Broke it several weeks earlier.Thinline wrote:I do not offer the following as an excuse...more an observation...

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

He still wouldn't have played 50 games. He is well worth persisting with, just needs to polish up and will be better for his finals experience. He went ok in the home and away.
I thought Geary would over take him this season, but both of them are a little more advanced than the next crop as they have regular games played into them.

Remember, Maguires comments to Pert after GF1 where he said to Pert "C****, couldn't beat that bunch of cripples" !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

There's no doubting it. The Dogs game hurt us pretty bad. Collywooblewood got out of the Cats game unscathed! IMHO we've still got a good side available to us next season. It just gets a little on the depressing side after getting there two years in a row and copping the same result!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Totally agree, re the Prelim game, hurt us bad. Eddy is only young and only 32 games I think, definately worth perservering with.St. Luke wrote:There's no doubting it.

I couldn't agree more. I find it strange that people have written Eddy off. I think he will just improve more and more. Yes he did not have a good couple of GF's but he is fairly inexperienced. Stick with him and Geary people!!!
"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress."
I thought that as well, but Ross in the presser after the game said something like "oh no let's get one thing straight, we are healthy, very healthy" so does he not like excuses?Thinline wrote:I do not offer the following as an excuse...more an observation...
