Eagles Preseason 2015

I'm grasping at straws here, but I think Yeo will slot into Waters half back roll (be pulling him out of my DT now co I think he'll get less mid time), Mitch Brown to try and fill Glass' role and McGovern take over from Emac?  Or possibly switch McGovern and Yeo around, I think McGovern could play a real handy roaming half back.

Sheppard looks like he might have Waters spot and he played very well last night,he needs to now backup in the rest of the games if he plays

Yeah I did actually notice him a bit in that game, his size might let him down though..

Yeah I think Shep and McGovern will need to be free down back, meaning Brown takes the number one ruck and Schofield is going to need to take the CHB

Don't forget about Ellis down there as well he was playing great until he was subbed out,not sure why he was subbed

Yeah but he isn't going to replace EMac. I think Schofield, with McGovern being 3rd up is our best (and only) option

I guess we will see what Simpson goes with next couple of NAB matches now since he will probably need to do some shuffling around.

Shep definitely looked good, took some timely relieving marks. Hopefully he can keep it up. I think simmo will leave Yeo in the midfield, they really what him to become one of those modern day 6ft+ big bodied midfielders.

Ruckman-forward Callum Sinclair will miss at least a month of football after scans revealed a fractured thumb sustained during the NAB Challenge match against Carlton at Rushton Park on Friday.

Sinclair, who has been jostling for a place with Scott Lycett as the support ruckman to All-Australian Nic Naitanui, has been in good form in the two pre-season hit-outs, but will need to work through his rehabilitation program in the hope of being available for round one.

The versatile big man, who has played nine senior games after being rookie listed in 2013 and then elevated 12 months later, will lose little of his conditioning, but will need to rest for a short period of time before resuming running.

Sinclair was sidelined earlier this pre-season with a compound dislocation of his finger, only returning to training in mid January.

If McGovern is down back, Darling out and Cox gone does that mean LeCras may become a leading forward target again rather than the crumbing forward he has been in a tall forward structure? Would put him back on my radar if that's the new structure.

RIP in peace to the king of ruckmen :'(

Hes done this on purpose, just so he can prove the medicos wrong and be 100% for round 1.

[kilbluff1985]

[elephants]

Yeah just taking a hella cautious approach with him
