Opinion Changes vs West Coast OUT: Sheridan (inj) Grey IN: Spurr Mundy

[DaveLister]

That's good. Play him on Yeo, take their run off half back and make him accountable the other way. Nyhuis could be very handy for our setup on Sunday

Yeo's been playing entirely midfield for the last 5+ weeks

 

[sherrif]

One thing I didn't realise is that Nyhuis is actually 188 cm. That's the same height as Mayne. He could actually play as a third tall if we need him.

Ill bet you anything he is at least 190cm. The afl websites are never updated after a player is drafted. Brennan Cox looks like he has grown too. He would have to be at least 194cm looking at him standing next to Scott Thompson (listed at 193cm) on the weekend. Ethan Hughes is another who is at least 191cm despite being listed at 187cm. Logue's listed as 193cm everywhere but the sites associated with the afl (listed at 189cm) 'official' listings. Fyfe's at least 192cm (not the 190cm) and Hamling's 196 ish (Listed at 194cm).

 

[wild side]

Just for balance, our best player this year is 5foot something. Size is overrated!

If only there was some kind of tool to easily measure people's height so we didn't have to continually guess whether the figures presented online are accurate? Get on to it Anton Ullrich!

Scott Lycett has been omitted from West Coast's squad. Replaced by Wellingham. Seems Petrie and Vardy might both play now.

Is that measured with or without his hair - must be 4CM there.

B22: Nyhuis, Kersten, Crozier, Logue
Emg: Collins, Deluca, Grey

In: Mundy, Spurr
Out: Sheridan, Grey

I would have liked to see Deluca play, but happy otherwise.

 

[Deathly]

Called it. Fine with those changes.

 

[Cobbler]

IMO definite outs should be Sheridan and Grey.
Other possible out Suban.

Maybe there's an injury somewhere but those would be my 2 or 3 outs.

IMO definite in should be Mundy.
Other possible ins in my order of preference should be Taberner, Balic, Langdon, Spurr, Sutcliffe

The ones in bold would be who I bet my house on.

Pretty much nailed it!

For those interested:

West Coast
Interchange: Sheed, Masten, Petrie, Nelson
Emergencies: Redden, Wellingham, Cole

both grey and deluca play for peel will be great , two tackling machine plus bennell.

No chance. Will be one or the other. Collins down back is more important imo.

edit - although we might carry over two emergencies given Hamling.

 

[Thistle]

Disappointed. Grey is the exact type of player needed in a derby.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

In all fairness, he has kicked 6, 5, 4, 3 and a couple of 2's.

Needs to Ryan Murphy.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Lycett is out.

 

[Tundrawolf]

B22: Nyhuis, Kersten, Crozier, Logue
Emg: Collins, Deluca, Grey

In: Mundy, Spurr
Out: Sheridan, Grey

Hamling still has to prove he's fit as do Kennedy and Gaff for the Eagles.

 

[beetz]

Disappointed. Grey is the exact type of player needed in a derby.

Need players who can not only go hard but also counter attack with possession. Grey provides the hard edge but isn't an efficient ball user/winner.

 

[FreoRicci]

Lycett is out.

Damn. Clarke is devastated, he loves dominating against him. Would've been nice to have Lycett out there to work off his spud ness. Ah well.
Eagles still going real tall.

Ill bet you anything he is at least 190cm. The afl websites are never updated after a player is drafted. Brennan Cox looks like he has grown too. He would have to be at least 194cm looking at him standing next to Scott Thompson (listed at 193cm) on the weekend. Ethan Hughes is another who is at least 191cm despite being listed at 187cm. Logue's listed as 193cm everywhere but the sites associated with the afl (listed at 189cm) 'official' listings. Fyfe's at least 192cm (not the 190cm) and Hamling's 196 ish (Listed at 194cm).

Think it is updated. Patrick Cripps is listed as 195cm and he wasn't that height when he was drafted. Pretty sure Griffin Logue was originally listed as like 193cm but it was changed to 189 later.

 

[freoextra]

I think we would agree that the match committee have probably gone with the best available team this week.

Will look forward to adding McCarthy, Bennell and Balic in coming weeks and even Tabs and Langdon if their form continues to grow.

Its certainly not all doom and gloom.

I had given up on this specific game but am beginning to think we might be a sneaky chance of running them of their feet so long as Hamling get's passed fit.

 

[Eski3]

Kennedy aside, West Coast's changes would not inspire confidence. It must be frustrating being an Eagles supporter when your selection table is essentially a revolving door of spuds

The punters jungle drums are beating and not looking good for us.

Freo $2.35 out to $3.00.
West Coast $1.57 in to $1.38.
