Social Blog Guidelines

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on December 15, 2018 at 7:11am

So this is your area to discuss non-Football topics.

The goal is, for those who wish to have discussions beyond footbal, to provide a forum for you to do so, all-year long.

However, this area is being provided on the following principals.

The social blogs stick to our site guidelines and code of conduct.

All blogs should respect the fact that Parramatta and 1Eyed's community is large and diverse. Blogs that are divisive or disrespectful to any members of our community will be deleted.

Be aware that blog headlines are on the front page, so they should be written as such; ie not deliberately inflammatory or offensive.

This area will be moderated more liberally than the football blogs, but all the code of conduct rules replies. ie no abuse, offensive images, etc.

For those of you who enjoy going beyond footy, I hope you enjoy this new area of the site.

You need to be a member of 1Eyed Eel to add comments!

"I think you miss the point Adam in that metrics is a result, its identifying the body types and bringing the ones through that are being seen as succesful in this new age. Thats more the point of what the blog is about."

LB replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Yeah good point. It's Halfback tax. Half decent ones garner big money. If you don't have a Halfback a 7.5/10 one gets same as a 9/10 Halfback just by how important the position is. I beg Boyd nearly tripled his salary in his NZ extension basically…"

LB replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"There are poor decisions in there. The 2021 off-season was a clear disaster that has set us back slowley. But MON is one of many within the building working together making decisions for this club.
They are doing what they feel is best for the club…"

Perpetual Motion replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Less than the dogs offered Thompson. "

Angry Eel replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"7 is the most important position on the field. You buy the best available option at the price you need to pay. I mean Flanagan or Metcalf? No brainer. 1m is not a crazy asking price"

Mitchy replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Daz in all respect you solely blame Ando for that? I think it was also about the head of the board too.....and tbh it was 10 yrs back; and he has worked with some decent clubs (Easts). But fair enough....."

Mitchy replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"He is head of recruitment i believe Mongolian / Pathways. Ando has a great knowledge of the game and wish we had someone like that.
You see with the chairs moving down at Mulgoa Rd (Penrith) I would be sounding out Matt Cameron now....he could be in…"

Randy Handlinger replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"We have mucho dinero and Braith is all about the lucre.
I like the idea. Drive the proverbial dumptruck full of cash around to his house and see what happens."

Angry Eel replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Maybe, maybe not. It could just be the challenge he's looking for. Having been a manager he's had a great feel for negotiation. He also knows what a successful football club looks like. He also has a key ingredient that we haven't had since Denis…"

Randy Handlinger replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Daz, is your name really Prof Mark? (you can tell me I'm reeely good at secrets)"

Randy Handlinger replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"That we have a better recruitment team than anyone at all is not obvious to me."

Gucci replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Dragons paid 900k for Metcalf, 900k for Drinkwater, have Gutherson contracted still for next season at $900k, have Keaon on $1.2mil, Val on $700k. How? They have spent half their cap on 5 players? Is this good recruitment? They don't even have a…"

Coryn Hughes replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Peter O'Sullivan for me I'm looking at the talent he's managed in conjunction with others to get to Newcastle and the Dolphins at his most recent stops would just about do it for me.
I mean St George tried to get him before he took the Newcastle job."

Randy Handlinger replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"Daz, quick question...if we leave MON plodding along (I mean, no-one would say that he is crushing it, right?) when would be the appropriaye time to shuffle him along? 10yrs? 15? but won't it just be more scapegoating then? Or must we wait for an…"

KENDOZA replied to Eli Stephens's discussion Metcalf Dragons bound.

"They are 0-9 yeah great recruitment"

The Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm Rivalry

Ahead of the game this weekend I thought I would do a video on my Youtube channel about the rivalry between Parramatta and Melbourne. What started off as a grudge match has slowly turned into a bitter rivalry over the years and the Zac Lomax thing…

Speed, Power, Athlelicism.... Not Specifically Size......these are the key areas that are emerging under these rules that have been forced on teams.

We have a poster on here JC, who wrote some intriguing stuff about touch football techniques and the power and speed aspects of our forwards in the game and the effect that power running backs add to that equation. I thinks he explains a lot out of…

Metcalf Dragons bound.

Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf…
