Preview Changes R23 v Brisbane

[Miguel Sanchez]

I think the Eagles will be tempted to play OAllen. He’s very highly regarded at the club and unlike Waterman he offers a genuine marking threat. Waterman is tallish but he plays more like a flanker/link up player whereas OAllen plays like a genuine KP forward. Obviously still a kid and needs to physically develop.

It'd be a brave call to bring him in for his second AFL game in a must-win match, especially since his first game was as a defender.

But I like it.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I wonder if any journos will be at the airport today, or are they all focusing on less important stuff like who will be our next PM?

I assume the guys are on the 12:45 flight?

Dunno, I'll ask on twitter and get back to you.

 

[DanWCE]

Dunno, I'll ask on twitter and get back to you.

For that to happen someone would need to get back to you

The next option is 4.5hr later for a midnight arrival. Seems unlikely.

It would be brave and TBH we do seem to have favoured a more conservative approach to selection particularly deeper into a season under Simmo.

I hope it happens though. There’s something about OAllen ....

Tbf that’s the role club wants Waterman to play atm. Think in this instance I’d pick Waterman as he not only has experience but his size means that he would attract a tall defender.

 

[campaigner___]

In: Scott Morrison
Out: Malcolm Turnbull

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Schofield will play. Allows Gov to go forward if we want another tall target.

Gov has to play out of the goal square then, he's too slow to be lead up. Use his power.

 

[Astro7]

We need to be this pumped up at the Gabba!...or this arrogant?

 

[Spoon_Man]

In: Scott Morrison
Out: Malcolm Turnbull

I heard the only reason that Morrison came in is because Dutton was a late out..

If they're on the 12.45 flight they've snuck off without a media conference or any reporting on who's at the airport

Think Simpson had his press conference yesterday instead of today.

how's all the tipsters!?!? give it a f*** break you morons! it's 2nd vs 15th!!!! Pricktorians acting like it's going to be a walk-over for brisbane. Jog on you muppets.

I reckon we will come out of the blocks and hammer Brisbane. The question will be whether we maintain that or let them back in like the St K match.

Yeah, it's funny how the Eagles have been completely written off after Gaff was suspended. The last two games have actually been really competitive against two teams with heaps to play for.

We should win but I think Brisbane will go very hard early, the trick will be to build enough of a lead to break their spirit. I'll be very nervous if it's close in the fourth, then it becomes a 50/50 game.

I'm waking up sunday morning not even remotely concerned about the result. We're talking about a team who lost to Richmond by 74 points two weeks ago... and won by 4 points against gold coast last weekend! So much hot air being blown about this match. West coast by 40-50 points by 3 quarter time.

 

[DickDunn]

No Waterman? Surely now’s the time to be getting him back in. The guy was playing very good footy for a first-year player and has been important for our structure, why would you leave him out?

I HATE making excuses, but West Coast have been playing without a proper forward line for the second half of the season. I can guarantee if Darling had of played out last weeks game the result would have been very different. I've played enough footy to know that taking out your KPF in the first 10 minutes of a game sets you up for a struggle. ESPECIALLY without another trained KPF.

 

[browncow]

So Ah Chee and Jetta out.

Hoping Schofield and Allen in with Nelson the travelling emergency.

 

[JordanWCE]

Venables survives, unless we're making three changes.

 

[Suma Magic]

So Barrass or Allen to replace Ah Chee up forward.

Nelson and/or Schofield to replace Jetta or Jetta/Barrass down back.

 

[squashface]

Ah Chee stiff to miss out imo

 

[campaigner___]

Everyone owes me $10 when West Coast wins by 40+

 

[Biggie]

Ah Chee omitted?

Maybe Pat Footy was onto something..
