Naitanui or Rich?
There's a very large chance that we will finish wooden spooners this year. It hurts, but letrs face it the way we are playing with such a lack of confidence and discipline it's a reality. Thus we get the pick of the best two WA boys. I've seen both in action and they are bloody good.

A) Do we need another classy midfielder to complement Kerr, Piddis and Masten? Rich is all quality - he gets the hard ball and distributes with precision. Read another comment that said he was the new Vossy, but possibly even better OR

B) do we go for a back-up and successor to Coxy. Nic is dominant around the ground and does the one percenters selflessly. And can this kid leap! Only needs to improve his kicking - but no-one delivers the ball like Big Coxy. Most of the Eagles match committee was at WP v Swans a couple of weeks back - they would have been impressed.

For what it's worth, my money is on Naitanui, cause if Coxy goes down, we really will find it tough to rebuild.

got to go for smalls rather than talls now, the eagles seem top heavy. I still think mark seaby will improve, therefore Naitanui should not be needed...

rest players like cox, kerr, glass, hunter through out the season and start playing the younger players. Also give new roles to the younger players.
