Injuries

the thing with the eagles and depth is...take cox, kerr and judd out...and put seaby, priddis and stenglein in. these players are not close to the talent of the first 3 players but they can do a commendable job. with us...take hall, goodes and kirk out...and who do we bring in to back up for them.

Priddis had been the best player in the WAFL for the last couple of years and no AFL teams were keen to pick him up finally the WCE picked him very late in last years draft and he is repaying them sometimes it's good to have a few players who are match hardened through strong comps like the SANFL,WAFL and the VIC league we could do with a couple like him...........there are young players who would slot right in but they have never been tried at AFL level

Martin Pike said on SEN that players should not be drafted until 20. By then they have played against men, have developed their bodies, and you would find a lot more ready mades who could come into an AFL team and compete well. He was referring here to the Richmond problem of playing the kids and their immature bodies. Makes some smart statements does Martin.
