Broken record. Broken clock. Can’t remember what the saying is. Doesn’t matter coz Voss will pick the usuals.
Out Docherty, Williams, McGovern.
In no idea, don’t care, doesn’t matter

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Wishing I didn't book a ****ing trip to Adelaide for Gather Round right about now...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

12.50pm on a Saturday in Adelaide is actually dawn.

I got tons of ‘em.

 

[Blue4Life]

The most disappointing outcome is the most likely with this club

 

[SurreyBlue]

Coach killer game

 

[Accidental genius]

Ins and outs is like playing deck chairs

But players going thru the motion should be dropped …we aren’t going anywhere this season so may as well focus on players giving effort

 

[blue gunslinger]

I’m tipping white out and Frank in

No No NO!!!

 

[V23]

Expecting Eagles to win and Voss to get sacked a few days later

 

[blue gunslinger]

Out: Docherty, McGovern, Young, Motlop, Cowan (inj)

Boyd Weitering Haynes
Saad Silvagni Williams
O Hollands Cripps Walsh
White McKay E Hollands
Kemp Curnow Durdin
De Koning Hewett Cerra

Lord L Camporeale Acres Moir Fogarty

ODN Motlop has been the only forward and I include the big boys putting in effort every week. He is at least contesting and doing stuff-tackling chasing. Not perfectly but god look at Fogarty White evans they are no where to be seen. Durdin will do a shoulder or calf. No VFL form

 

[passmark]

Eagles are $4.60 at the moment.

 

[Monty1978]

If we lose and it’s possible … Voss might as well go sink some piss in the Barossa valley and stay there for a few weeks … this game is the one

[TheBlueCampaigner]

How can we be $1.20. What are the betting agencies seeing that I’m not seeing? We only turn up for 60 minutes ffs.

 

[Horizon]

Real ugly if we lose this one. Could be crows boot camp type stuff

 

[TENACIOUS]

Can’t see us losing this one.
It will be a paper over the cracks week/fortnight.

[juzza316]

It will be a horrible 8 hour drive home if we lose this

 

[RAPPA]

Really don’t care if Voss still had the job after it but I truly hope they lose so there’s nowhere to hide after losing to the bottom ranked team in the comp. Let the team sit in its own filth - the same filth they have dished up for around half a season’s equivalent of games which we as supporters have had to endure, week after week.

 

[brad_fisher]

Would like to see E Hollands, McKay, Boyd and Durdin play if fit.

Cowan obviously out with injury. Would omit Moir, McGovern and Motlop.

I know you all love Moir, but one kick and one handball in 55% ToG isn't it. He didn't look anywhere near it today I'm afraid.

Young shouldn't be playing forward. Send him down back to take McGovern's spot.

Docherty as the sub.

As for the others - White should get another week and he's no worse than our other small forwards so give him another run. Fogarty didn't have a great game, but he is still our best pressure forward. There is no one to replace Haynes so I can't justify dropping him - and I personally don't think he is that bad, he has been playing his role better than some. And Ollie Hollands shouldn't get a game, but I'm not sure anyone could replace him and be an improvement. He's giving it his all at least, which is something.

If we lose and it’s possible … Voss might as well go sink some piss in the Barossa valley and stay there for a few weeks … this game is the one

Hope to the bejeeeezuz we lose then.

 

[djholmes]

We need to stop trying copying other teams on how to play. Our small forwards suck and our mids only know how to bomb the ball long into the 50. As such, pick all tall marking types in our forward and dare the other team to try match up to us. Play to our strengths with all our tall marking forwards.

McGovern is too erratic at center halfback and his disposal is rubbish. We need the calming presence of Weitering there instead.

Only ones I'd change from your desired team is Moir being sub, Haynes being dropped and Young down back.

The first 2.5 rounds i thought Haynes should be as far away from the team as possible. But he's been OK down back in the last game and a half. Young and Weitering just doesn't work. You can see everytime they play together Weitering doesn't trust him at all and spends half the game worring about him.

Either drop Young and bring in Haynes, or start Carroll in lieu of Young and have Young on the bench as a relief tall/ to pinch hit in the ruck.

I thought Young did well in the last few games as a defensive tall forward. Until he appeared to get moved off Moore, he was keeping him accountable and away from his intercept game. He did the same with Lobb last week.

I'd potentially have Ollie as sub in lieu of Moir too. I think Moir has potential but he's not AFL ready yet

However i very much agree with your expected it's unfortunately

 

[Jimmae]

OUT: Young, Cowan, McGovern
IN: McKay, Wilson, Carroll

SUB: Moir

EMG: O'Farrell, O'Keeffe, L.Camporeale

Maybe inject Docherty into defence, with Wilson as a wing rotation. If Carroll isn't right, probably look at O'Farrell. Moir gets another chance in order to give himself some confidence to take back to VFL level.

Expecting Eli, Durdin, Boyd, and a bunch of kids to try and put their hands up against Southport on Saturday, but not really knock down the door.
