Autopsy AFL 2020 Premiership Season First Elimination Final - Eagles v Pies Sat October 3rd 8:10pm AEST/6:10 WST (OPTUS) Match Highlights in OP

[andon]

Eagles in a tough, close game.

Hope the umpiring is not too invasive or influential.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Teeth versus missing teeth.

Whitewall vs picket fence.

 

[Carringbush2010]

I really really hope, we can find some form and a visually different style of game - regardless of the result.

I also really really hope the club has a good honest look at itself and investigate why we have such glaring ball movement and forward issues. Those on the Pies board know what my view of that is.

Eagles by 55 points.

Don't some people on twitter use the like function as a bookmark tool for tweets?
Liking a tweet doesn't mean he's celebrating their injuries.

Can't recall seeing such a reaction from an x player before, has definitely crossed a line.

I was a bit like wow, but come on give him a break he has had concussion 7 times and half of those from Derbys plus he has to live with Mrs pavlich thatcant be easy

Not sure about that, I'm far from a Twitter guru

I don’t have much faith, would take our bottom 6 to contribute at all which they haven’t really all year.

Is Keenedy a starter?

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

I am not sure the West Coast methodology will stand up in the wet conditions of Queensland this year. It's not hard or rude just true.

How can something be true if it hasn't happened yet? You are merely guessing. Our record at the Gabba is very good.

Terrific trio firming to face Pies

The likelihood of West Coast’s leadership trio being available for the club’s elimination final against Collingwood is improving by the day, according to Adam Simpson

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

Speaking to the media today, Simpson felt confident that skipper Luke Shuey and joint vice-captains Josh Kennedy and Jeremy McGovern would be available for selection ahead of next Saturday night’s do or die clash at Optus Stadium.

 

[Big Bryza]

I'm not overly confident and quite realistic about this game. Pies by 45pts.

 

[Brickwall]

Collingwood will start well , then the eagles will blow the game away in the second Q with 7 goals

 

[PerthBoy86]

This feels very much like Essendon last year. And of course 2020 is so frustratingly similar to 2019 in that we just missed out on top 4 (literally by a goal in the Sydney vs Geelong game). Yesterday I was thinking it would be close, but I feel a bit more confident the margin will be at least 3 goals, which would still be closeish. We'll be breathing fire with a roaring home crowd to back us. I wonder if the home crowd factor is even bigger this year because teams haven't generally played in front of small crowds/barely any or no crowd so may not be as used to it. Collingwood had many big outs when we thrashed them, so I won't expect a runover. If we get Shuey and Gov back at least we really should get it done comfortably, but I dont have a whole lot of faith in us this year, so still a danger game.

Eagles by 20 for mine.

If there's one thing I've learned over 40 plus years as a Collingwood, is to never underestimate us when our backs are to the walls in a big final...

 

[South of the Yarra]

This has all the hallmarks of a classic Collingwood underdog win.

 

[Brad Goodman]

We are quite a way off it this year - the last time you could say we played well against a good team was the win over Geelong in round 7.

If DeGoey has a day out we are a slim chance, like day out as in the best game he has ever played. Would need to kick 6 or more.

Pavlich should not be in the media. He has no impartiality and liking that players are injured is just bad form.

 

[Farang83150]

Obviously hope we get up but if the worst happens then I'd like to see the pies win the flag and spend the year really rubbing it in the richmond supporters faces.

 

[energyquant]

This will be the most boring and one sided of the games. A really good side up against a team I believe is just not up to it this year
Eagles by 6 goals plus.

 

[HBF]

Eagles should be too strong at home, even with some of their players missing.

 

[Coaster2012]

We could have everyone back except Yeo. We should win this comfortably really.

 

[Roobs321]

Given the thrilling finals h2h, best to just surrender to the game itself and hope your own side survives it.
