eddy doing running drill on his own ?

[gosainters66]

i noticed that eddy was doing some type of running drill on his own in the later part of training , was it some sort of fitness test ?

[Batnoe]

No he's fit, that is what he is good at, not good at finding the ball so he may as well work on his strengths, running around not near the ball

Well done Eddy

+1

So many cheify's who bag players but wouldn't last 30 seconds out there.

Pathetic.

[SainterK]

There has been multiple threads about Eddy over the past few days, people are entitled to their opinion but surely they could all be contained to one?

Ross has always given players opportunity by giving them games in succession, and most prove their value in a short space of time. We wouldn't have many of our current list firing, if it wasn't for this patient approach...

Then have a go at Ross Lyon not Eddy, it's not his fault he is picked.

[squiz]

We may complain about Eddy not doing enough and it is true.BUT
Geary did even less in round 14
The last game Dawson played was very weak. Was pushed off the ball
way to easy.
If lyon swaps out Eddy I think Qwilt should be the one.
Anyway King will be an improvement from the last time out with the Cats.
Hopefully Ball can do a lot more
Ray has to improve.Raphael played OK against the Cats
So I think St Kilda team unchanged
Just hope Gardiner and Gilbert have another blinder.

[degruch]

Not down on Eddy, he does his job most of the time...I just think there may be more suitible players this weekend. Of those not in the team, Gwilt and Dempster would have to the be serious considerations IMO, and Eddy the most likely target for replacement. Not that he's a terrible player, just not in top form at this point of the season.

Great point, not sure why we have persisted with him in the finals when Dempster is in the wings with previous GF experience,,,,, mind you, I am still flummoxed as to why Fiona was able to get a run in the Prelim last year... but I guess In Ross We Trust...

[Con Gorozidis]

I think this week is no time for small talk and sentimentality- I think Eddy is probably a great young bloke and might have a carreer ahead of him - but if he's doing his job I hope Ross doesn't give any of the other players a similar role - or they will all get 4 touches like he did last week. We will not win this week without all 22 contributing a massive effort - this is not the time to give a young bloke a go. I think Dempster will probably get the nod, although I see an opportunity for Max considering Geelong's forward options of Mooney, Hawkins and Ottensm - I can see an argument for Guilt, Armatige and even Geary - but Eddy has been given plenty of opportunity and if there is a role he is doing and at this point doing it well I'm buggered if I can work out it is.

[Milton66]

You lot are a fairdinkum disgrace bagging Eddy. No one has a clue what his role is and why he is selected.

If you reckon you can do a better job, then apply for the job as coach.

Otherwise, STFU and leave Eddy alone. If he's good enough, he'll get selected. If not, then so be it.

Fairdinkum bunch of armchair experts.

We have a GF, so let's support the boys 100%.

[plugger66]

Should Bally maybe get dropped instead of Eddy?

Is being a 1st class tool a gift you were born with? Or did you have to work at it?

[Batnoe]

ok, so Eddy is good?!!

Yeah he has potential and is a good runner and agasint Geelong will be found out...

I do not want to give kids a game for the sake of it....And by the way, i know my footy so get stuffed....Im not some arm chair expert that knows nothing

Our captain coached our senior team to 3 premierships starting when i was 17, again, by using people like Eddy and giving them a role, but we are StKilda, we have 8 players who can do the same thing if they are given that role

Geary is a more exciting prospect, can kick a goal from 55m on the run to turn the game and get over 15 touches. Dempster has runs on the board and is a premiership player, Max is a great defender and he may not even get a run.

If you are saying Eddy deserves a go instead of an old classic timer like Max then you, my friend, have rocks in your head

What has Max got to do with Eddy?

[Batnoe]

Nothing- why should a player like Eddy who gets 4 touches in a game be given a game ahead of Max who is an old timer and tries his heart out.

Yes, it is future vs past, but Max will also do a job so if we talk about Eddy being able to do a job for the team, i am sure Max will too and i think If Eddy is out, then Max is the obvious choice

on balance for team it has to be Geary or Armo if Eddy is out, but i think Dempster will get it

So is Max in for Eddy or one of the other guys. Im confused.

So you seriously think that if Eddy wasn't good enough, then RL would still select him?

So you played footy. Woo farking hoo. You obviously know more than RL because you played under 17's.

Yeap, real armcahir expert... let's pick Max, even thought we've had our best H&A season with Zac.

Armo? How many senior games has he played this year? Did he cement his spot?

No one said that Geary or Dempster should not get a game... but I'm sick of cabbages like you constantly bagging Eddy.

But like I said, you guys have inside knowledge and know more than RL.

[PJ]

Depending on what the job is. None of us know so it's all speculation.

[iwantmeseats]

Is everyone forgetting max hasnt played for 5 or 6 weeks ?

...and you want to drop him straight into a GF? hmmmm, I love max, but RL made his decision months ago I feel.

Yep, im a cabbage, but you are the one that said drive somewhere where you can hire a car? mm what are you?

All i said at the start was that he was running on his own as he didnt need to practice his skills cause he wont get it anyway (4 possessions is a great return for a midfileder/forward)

Did i say drop Dawson? no!! so dont say that we should drop Dawson for Max, cause i never said that, i was just saying on terms of people who should be a game then Max is ahead of all of them.

Armo- he was given 3 chances and in one of them he got best on ground, he had 13 tackles in another so over 3 games he averaged 7 tackles per game, the highest at the club per game... At least Armo will find the ball if he is given a chance where Eddy has been given a game and a chance and can still only find the ball 4 times. Wow, what a pick...

I will continue to bag Eddy, but only because you dont like it. I say he has potential, yet that isnt good enough? He is running on his own because he is practicing his fitness..

Now i hate cabbages like you who constantly stick up for s*** like Eddy/Fiora/Sweeny/Elliott/Oliver/Howard

Get a life mate, actually you might want to get in your car, drive somewhere, hire a car and drive somewhere else?

[plugger66]

And i cant stand cabbages who call people s*** because they mightnt be the greatest players in the world. What sort of crap supporter would do that.
