[domsheed]

Joshy Kennedy back in should be a good game I think west cost win by bout 33 points KENEDY kicking 4 goals big game coming up

 

[domsheed]

Lycet out of team hard desesion but cox deserve to play in side for rest of years b4 retireing

 

[Crawb]

I'm sure the people of Perth can't wait to see the Eagles' clash jumper tonight...

 

[Righteo]

Not sure who the (likely) rain favours at this stage, neither side are flash in the wet from memory.

 

[Kram]

Eagles by 9 points.

Must favour us - we aren't flash in the dry either...

 

[Roobs321]

Whenever Richmond are this close to us on the ladder (or above us), which isn't very often, they can tend to beat us. But it's not even a 9th year for them, so we'll see.

Probably the last Eagles game I'll see this year, so hoping for an entertaining contest with us getting the win. A cherished visual memory to hold on to until 2015.

Yeah could have seen Richmond splitting you open on a dry deck like they did last year, can already chalk down 3 votes for Priddis tonight (srs).

Why does Priddis get so much flak? after our game i went to their board and thought Priddis was BOG for them and got eaten alive

He is a genuine ball winner.

 

[Roobs321]

He is one of the only Eagles that can hold his head up after a loss each week, always gives it a go. I've always liked him.

Might not be the cleanest or quickest player, but a genuine leader which we tend to lack in. Has also been a strong chance to win the B&F every year from 2009-14.

What is the reasoning behind this bizarre decision?

 

[ep2018]

What is the reasoning behind this bizarre decision?

Probably the same reasoning at AFL HQ who allowed Carlton to wear their home jumper and forced us to wear white shorts in our own home final in 2011.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

"Ball Winner" few would argue with

 

[Freomaniac]

well Im going to watch the Adelaide United vs Malaga game tonight at Adelaide Oval. That shows how much I care about both these teams tonight.

 

[Arecsa]

Priddis can get the ball, but then he does more damage for the opposition with it. Every possession is either a 1m handball to a team-mate under more pressure or a floating helicopter turnover.

 

[Crawb]

What is the reasoning behind this bizarre decision?

VFL think it's fine for the Big 4 to not have a proper clash jumper.

 

[MarcusP2]

So Richmond's clash jumper clashes with other jumpers? How idiotic.

 

[Kram]

Disposal is pretty ordinary.. Still probably gets unfairly victimised compared to some of the other ordinary players they have running about.

 

[Sketi]

Tigers by 16.

Cool story bro

 

[master bate]

Why do the AFL wait until split round to put on the 8:40 Eastern time Friday night game. Why not do it in one of the weeks when we had Thursday night footy? Or at least in a normal week when there are plenty of other games to watch. I'm keen to watch a whole game of footy when there's only 4 on this week and will have to wait forever for it to start.

And yes people in the West I understand your plight and I'm all for you getting proper starting night matches, but not this week.

I usually don't like watching Freo games either but last week was quite entertaining, I'm not sure why.

They Jelly of the hair.

Really? Considering the amount of time that you spend posting on the Freo board I thought that you watched a bit of Freo.
