Gee 4 afl outs in one hit - though i think houlihan will play with us

Welcome back Kyanga and i hope Luke Foster gets in

Strono, from looking at who’s listed in the league and reserves sides, Sgherza, Green, Cripps and A Fasolo will be on the bench......I reckon Houlihan will play AFL this weekend, though I see Jordan Jones is picked in the Peel side.

Whilst it will be great to see Luke Foster play, I reckon he will get another run in the reserves......if either Perham or Riccardiello have a poor game, Foster will replace one of them, if EF play in the 1st semi in a fortnights time. Personally I’d like to see all three in EF forward set up.......Rock will be happy that Kyanga’s back, but I reckon no matter what the fella does on Sunday, if EF do play another game this year, Kyanga will be one of the likely casualties to make way for possible AFL listed inclusions in Dodd, Stevens, Houlihan, Spangher or Sheppard........

All to play to secure that 1st semi spot and home final......it’s been a long time coming.....EF needs to keep it’s focus and treat Peel with a shed load of respect......fingers crossed all three grades can finish off the season strongly.......nice to see the club has the possibility of all three grades playing finals footy and practically at full strength......

The excitement machine is back...lets hope he turns it on as he did earlier this year against Peel at Rushton.

I agree with freeze and Houlihan will play with the Eagles and Foster will get another run in the ressies. Whats wrong with Lee-Steere again? One would think Griffo would have to come in then.
Both Fasolo’s boys and Venturini look like the others to come in.

Always a struggle down at Mandurah for us. Let’s hope the boys are switched on come Sunday!!!

So if we win and West Perth loose we are guarenteed 3rd is that right

We might get stevens he didnt do that much for the Eagles last week

Well i am happily eating my words after i called east freo’s season over some weeks ago!!! never the less great to see that a win this week will sure up a spot in the finals....

Even better to see is the form of some players this year.... Kym monteath has had one of the best seasons of any player in the WAFL this year and it goes to show what a prolonged crack at WAFL footy will get you if only they had showed that sort of faith in some other blokes like Baz, Miller, Doyle, Ciotti, Bull just to name a few. Take Nothing away from monteath though what a year he has had, has to be a shoe in for the B&F and must be a smoky for the Sandover he gets a mountain of the footy a kicks goals as well lets hope he can avoid the temptation of heading over east to be with family and stick it out for a few more years. Another that is paying off is young connor davidson he has been sidelined for a big part of the year with injury but has come into the side and just adds so much depth with is silky skills and footy smarts if we can hold on to a few blokes like that perhaps tempt the likes of conway and Bong back from over seas the future is looking very bright.

anyway this week i reckon L foster should play have watched him very closely this year and he has the best pair of hands i have ever seen get this kid in show the faith in him that we have in others and he will more than repay the faith the kid is a jet!!!!

Like your comments Jensen, I hear what you are saying about giving players a go and showing the faith. Monteath was always going to be a top WAFL performer, just seemed to be in and out of the side for years, without getting a decent crack. I really thought Bull would take the next step but I guess he was competing with fella’s in a similiar position like Bongnascia, Anthony, Dalziell. Dalby etc who got a chance before him to show their wares.

Foster is going to be a gem, him getting injured this year has probably saved EF from losing him in the draft......I do reckon the likes of Perham, Riccardiello, Murray and Foster up front for EF could be quite productive....though all 4 aren’t stand outish tall....one guy I hope EF entice to come back if he gets delisted to play is Polak from Richmond and Mat Martin from Carey Park.

Polak is mobile and tall and at the WAFL level could be great in a KP up front or back. Martin is an ex Port Adelaide rookie who has played 1 reserves game for EF this year and kicked over 70 golas for Carey Park this year at FF.

Quite suprised Houlihan isn’t playing for WCE this weekend.....though Peel will be weakened with the loss of Jordan Jones to WCE......the league side has to remain focused against Peel on Sunday...treat them with respect and concentrate on kicking goals instead of behinds!!!!
