Micky, You obviously expect Godden to be an instant success! Things don't happen overnight mate. Mick Godden is unproven at the level. A few bigname recruits and an 'AFL' style gameplan won't turn the Eagles into Premiership contenders straight away. Hope he proves me wrong, but i have seen first hand how hard it is.
I am very worried about our recruits to be honest. Parry is a loose cannon! Fantastic player on his day, but not what the place needs when building a new culture. Welsh will have one good year left in him at best. We only got one year out of Kenny, and the record for returning AFL players who have had relatively long careers has not been that good. Day, Guilhaus, Robson etc, are handy depth players but nothing else at this stage. Who is going to play the key defensive spots?
As For Edwards, he was not up to it. Even at Reserves level he was exposed! If Holden and the like think he will be a bigger loss than fairclough then they are kidding themselves. Good decision letting him go.
Agree with u over Edwards .
Agree with u over AFL players coming back
I was worried over Welsh's pace .But can u think of Welsh up forward with say a Redden (or an ex basketballer even)around the goal square.A forwardline we dont just kick to Passador or Salter!!
But being an Eagles fan you have a very short memory.
Coaches with first year success
Winter 93 flag
Hamilton got eagles in to the GF Dogs first win
Fuller got them into the GF first year
Hell even Mikan did a good job.
Eagles have lacked something the last two years I am starting to see something positive coming.
I'm not brain DEAD as some may think we wont win every game but we will improve on 09 and 08.
Have u seen Powell and Treeby I have
