Please don't let Robert Eddy be the hard luck story
He just wills himself to the contest, don't think his stats give enough credit to his game tonight.
Things like holding the ball up until help arrived, bumping and shepherding, blocking for his teammates....
Fantastic contribution, I don't want anyone to have a hard luck story this year, but I certainly dont' want Eddy to 'just' miss out again

Played like a bloke desperate to be there next week, huh?
So wish he scrambled that goal near the end but the ball just didn't sit. Would have been a deserved reward.

In many ways our least skilled players hold the match in their hands. Robert Eddy fumbled the ball many times, but he also showed the level of courage and desperation that wins matches. It can only inspire more talented team mates. Andrew McQualter was poor. For a small player he is surprisingly slow. But he does centre a number of attacks. He should take the first option more. Sean Dempster earned his spot and only made a couple of blues.

I thought Eddy played a great game and will definately hold his place.
Bakes will miss. They would have played him tonight if they were going to. Won't take the chance in a GF.
No one else beating the door down to get in, and there'd be a few others in line before Eddy. He had a good game against Cats too.
Rex declared him a definate to keep his spot late in the game on MMM. Certainly did his job.

He's great, and I credit Before the Game with his ongoing improvement.
I don't think he's in danger. You'd think the only player who might be a bit worried is McQualter.

Tough to replace though, as neither of those guys have finals experience, plus Mini has to atone for last year.Kilda wrote:I think Eddy will retain his spot...he was ferocious at the contest. The one who concerns me is Mc Qualter...I would much rather have Jack Steven or Geary in the side than him. Mini is indecisive, makes unforced errors and is inaccurate in front of goal. Tonight, he was conspicuous by his absence.

At this stage, no changes unless forced by injury.

He did better than a good job. He is going to play in his 4th GF and for someone with very limited ability it is an unbelievable effort.loris wrote:I thought Dempster did a good job........... Giansiracussa hardly had a look at the football.......... Dempster carried on from the good job he did on Steve Johnson.....2 good scalps to Smiley Dempster in his last two matches.
