How preciousAt least one eagles poster saying that not all eagles are willing to leave home/children for 4+ weeks and therefore will not come/play.
Darling and Schofield named.
I’ll cop a loss in this fixture on the condition the team has a fair dinkum crack.
I’m still seething from the insipid Round 1 effort on our home track.

How many games do we need to win in this block? Surely at least one, should we expect 2?

I almost made that joke but felt it was unprofessional to joke about such things... and this is much much more of a war crimes offenceThat sounds like a lot of BF points I’m in line to be whacked with.
Yeah, It was mentioned during the Bundesliga game I watched this morning that they've added 2 extra interchanges (from 3 to 5 a game) for the rest of the season. Granted they are playing two games a week to catch up so it makes sense for them. But I think it makes sense in this scenario also.I was expecting the AFL to allow extra interchange players from round 2, but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere. I guess it is not going to happen. It would certainly have helped ease back players returning from long-term injuries, since there’s no reserves teams.
I'd be hazardous to suggest we should expect 2 wins but certainly ending this little run at home with a record of 2-2 gives us a chance to compete for a finals spot. Now some might say I'm dreaming if I'm thinking about finals and you may be right but the goal is always to play finals and you have to base your season objectives around that. I'd say we should expect at least 1 win over the next three rounds and we should be happy if we manage to secure 2 wins. If we somehow win all 3 games then that's obviously a huge achievement and an indication that we've improved enormously over the last 12 months.How many games do we need to win in this block?

Big question will be for that 3rd tall defender spot, do we go with experience in Hombsch or do we go with the youth of Ballard?
That would be hugely beneficial for us if it's true. Kennedy is obviously their most dangerous target up forward but without Darling it'll be much easier for our taller defenders to zone and potentially double team Kennedy when needed. They'll likely bring in Oscar Allen who is still finding his feet at the AFL level so you would expect Thompson or Hombsch to keep him pretty quiet. Liam Ryan is probably the other target we should really concentrate on but I'm fairly confident Harbs will do a good job on him. If our backline is performing the way it should and Darling does miss then I think we have a fantastic opportunity to limit their scoring.At least one eagles poster saying that not all eagles are willing to leave home/children for 4+ weeks and therefore will not come/play.

feel much better about containing the eagles forward line withoutdarlin if that comes to fruition
Our midfield bats deep for sure. But the question is the quality, especially with Swallow missing.That would be hugely beneficial for us if it's true.

As is the case in most games, this one will be won and lost in the midfield. We need to ensure Tim Kelly doesn't run rampant all over the Metricon turf.
Although if one of these boys steps up we might see a coming of age with Swallow out.Our midfield bats deep for sure. But the question is the quality, especially with Swallow missing.

It bats pretty deep and some of those blokes are tough, but I think at the moment lack in the quality that Shuey and Kelly possess.

Brodie set to finally shut up the haters for good with a 30 possie game.
I would say Darling is far better than JJK presently.That would be hugely beneficial for us if it's true.

That's even better. If their best key forward isn't playing in this game then that's a massive win for us.I would say Darling is far better than JJK presently.
Agree re: midfield. They have one of the best in the league, we have one of the worst. Got to hang tight.
Sorry for the intrusion, but I was wondering how Anthony Miles is going? I remember Dom Sheed did the same injury in a preseason game and literally came back the week after the bye.
Is he back training? Or close to?
Back training and should be available for selection.Sorry for the intrusion, but I was wondering how Anthony Miles is going? I remember Dom Sheed did the same injury in a preseason game and literally came back the week after the bye.

Suns football manager Jon Haines said Fiorini would remain in the middle after welcoming back the likes of injured defenders Jarrod Harbrow, Pearce Hanley, Rory Thompson, Charlie Ballard and Jack Hombsch.
“Brayden is a really important player for us and has good flexibility so he has moved back into the midfield group since we returned,” Haines said.
“He played back in Round 1 given Pearce, Harbs, Rory and Ballard were all missing. All of those guys should be available now so we know Brayden can play halfback and midfield so that gives him flexibility but at the moment he has gone back into the midfield group and that is where we expect to see him playing his footy.”
