Currently estimating Eagles to lose by 150pts -conservative estimate. A sub standard AFL team playing the best team currently in the competition and it shows. A good number of Eagles players simply do not have the skills required to play at AFL level.

Maybe I really should have Captained Jackson, was very close, but rookie error to not even look at when the game starts. I though it was later.

The one week my opposition doesn't have Gawn too.

Commentators discussing who they would want bringing the ball out of the backline for GWS. They say Whitfield. Cameron says, I don't think so. By the end of the year he would prob have had him playing one out in the goal square.

RE: Whitfield. I think it's interesting to note that his best ever SuperCoach season was actually played as a MID/FWD. He averaged 111 (119 if you take out the injury affected matches) in 2019 and was given MID/FWD status for the 2020 season. I didn't expect that. Maybe his form is more of a problem than people think?
Spot on. Worth adding that he's playing forward because he was rubbish off half back earlier this year. Yet people are crying out for him to go back to half back like it will fix all his problems. I feel like there's a tendancy to blame poor scoring on everything but a players form, when it's the clear answer 95% of the time.
