I think we are quick to overract here. I think every including Eddie and Ratten agree he played badly against the Pies. But gee we have short memories. In round 1 against the tigers Eddie Betts was clearly our best forward on the day, kicked 3 himself and also set up countless other goals with his pressure and kicking.

So he does need to be more consistent and if he has another quiet game and doesnt go in hard then yes lets drop him but to drop one of our best forwards over the past few years is a bit premature.


I agree! We should overreact slower....

The problem is we use Betts as a marking option and Collingwood caught on to this so instead of putting the traditional midgit on him they play O'Brian on him who smashes him in the air and can match him on the ground. The other downside is he's quicker than Betts so he runs off him.

We should be using Bower in the same way as they use Harry.

He's not quicker than Eddie.

He's fitter and has a higher work ethic.

I've resisted posting in this thread because I love the little fella but he must be dropped next week...

The ONLY time I noticed him today was when he ran into goal early in the first and it hit the post.

Not escaping from his marker or from the contest quickly enough, and it's hurting his output. That and people trying to hit him up like a marking target with a high kick at CHB. :banghead:

Needs an actual rest.

Yeah I agree with that too. My mate made a good point today though that it can't help his cause when Henderson and Hampson get slaughtered.

They got slaughtered cause they're no good. And your mate is right, it makes Eddie's job THAT much harder when he's crumbing to spuds.

Big issue now with smalls that can't go through midfield. Class on ballers are now resting up forward and kicking goals. Swann, Pendlebury, Rioli, McGlynn, Johnson and so on. Eddie can't do this. We also don't rotate as much as Cwood through midfield. I would rather see Ellard or Lucas added to midfield with Gibbs, Murphy, Judd all spending time up forward. Would help with a big deficiency we have.

Would have rather dempsey on crutches today. Lazy and totally ineffectual.

He'll be Bullants for sure next week. He's not fit enough.

But his pass to Garlett in the last could have been the winning play if Garlett didnt have a rush of blood.

Exactly he's still a woods. 4 goals is the most he's ever kicked for the woods. Eddie equalled that yet again.
