Eagles line up

Mr X from the West · Mon 20 Aug 2007 4:49pm

Whilst we have our injury worries, the Eagles are not without theirs.

Glass - will probably play but has lower back issues. Not sure whether hamstring related but spent time in the rooms against Richmond getting treatment, proppy afterwards in 3rd and 4th quarters.

Judd - not sure whether they'll risk him, but if he plays will probably play out of a forward pocket with painkillers.

Cousins - hamstring tightness (no tear) but will probably play. Will be at risk to do further damage, as his hammies have been suss ever since his "comeback".

Kerr - also has back related hamstring tightness. He is their key. Bakes needs to go to him and smother him. Single handedly winning games for the Eagles at the minute.

Chick - broken larynx. Set to resume.

Graham - stuffed his knee playing in the WAFL at the weekend and won't play.

Anyone else?

Would they risk suspect hammys' on the hard Telstra Dome surface?

Do they need the win to secure a top 2 finish?

Mr X from the West · Mon 20 Aug 2007 4:54pm

Yes they do....hence the risk.

i wonder if they will risk Judd.
i mean if they dont play him and we win are they in trouble of losing a top 4 spot with still another round to go??

id play him out of the square if he was at least 85%.

Oh When the Saints · Mon 20 Aug 2007 4:54pm

Yep, Eagles have to win to finish second.

My mail is that Judd won't play and Cousins will.

But it's too early in the week to tell yet ...

Interesting on Glass - I wonder, if Gehrig gave him one in the back and shoved him forward ...

Waters? Will he be back this week from his finger injury? or is he possibly still a few away?

Will probably be thrown out. Was just a push/slap to the face.

Embley still ruled out apparently.

Dan Warna · Post: # 437699Post **Dan Warna** » Mon 20 Aug 2007 6:39pm

they didn't give us enough respect last time.

expect them to come at us hard.

I love watching Judd play against everyone else except us. but given how ball has suffered and still excelled, wonder how judd will do over the next few weeks/months playing through injections and pain.

the word i hear judd doesnt like the idea of jabs and is semi against them from what i hear he only has them if he get hurt while playing not before hence him being a late withdrawl a few times , aparently he feels if it happens b4 a game then some one else can come in still but if it happens while he playing he doesnt want to be a dead weight on the bench so he will take the jabs then only

mr judd has very strong opinions on a wide range of subjects that some of his fellow team mates dont share , ive heard from a friend of his mrs he will not eat anything that hes seen it be prepared and he assured its not going to be affecting his body in a negative way

i hope Judd does not play. Reckon they will actually risk him out though this weekend?

St Fidelius · Mon 20 Aug 2007 8:03pm

I have a feeling he'll play...

He missed two games in a row (rounds 12 & 13) and bounced back in round 14 against Brisbane with 35 possessions ....

I hope he doesn't, but a chance at top 2 with a home final, me thinks he'll play

He may play...but if so if will not be anywhere near fully fit......so I do not see him getting 35 possessi9ons against us.

He has class though.....so can still hurt us a permanent forward.

Bloody Seaby should have been cited for a front-on charge thinly disguised as a spoil...not even a free paid and he coathangered the Tiger (Connors?) bigtime

Judd did jogging and run throughs with the main group yesterday but did not take part in any of the full ground drills.

Cousins did not train.

Glass did very little but is likely to play.

Chick and Waters will both return.

Cam1lla · Post: # 438576Post **Cam1lla** » Tue 21 Aug 2007 8:24pm

wouldnt WC be better off not risking him this weekend against us and then using Judd in the prelim matches etc?
