Tip

West Coast by 28

 

[QS]

You're in this week lmach
Looking forward to this, nice and late for us in the east.. but West Coast by anywhere from 1-100
Key for mine is to pressure the small guys and play to the advantage of our talls. If we can get JK, Darling, Lynch firing up there then we will be too strong for them in our forward 50.

Haha yea, already getting excited so i thought i would get the ball rolling, only 11 hours and 24 minutes to go

It's hard to get used to the later games here.. being from WA and still working over there 2 weeks on, I get used to the earlier broadcast times
All good though roll on 7.50pm!! Unfortunately get crappy FTA reception in this part of tassie, so I'll be watching via TVUplayer.. good hint for anyone in WA wanting to watch Friday night games earlier.. Use it and tune to Southern Cross.

 

[I LOVE THE CFC]

Good luck weagles it's gonna be a cracker!! No matter happens you guys have had a brilliant season and have a bright future.

Blues by a couple... Of what I don't know 

 

[jod23]

CARN THE EAGLES!!!

Were at home, Cox has come up, Kerr is in and Carlton are missing Gibbs and Kruezer. A real great chance for us to get to within one step of the big dance. Im confident but of course anything can happen.

WC by 28 points.

 

[Tiff]

Great! Already two Extra WC games we never thought we'd get at the start of the season. Win or lose we gotta be happy with that!

Hopefully we can make it two more after this one

Im quietly confident about this one. The crowds going to be electric and I think we might just be to strong for Carlton. But let's hope it's a great game

 

[larrikin]

Really pumped about this game - have to wait another 10 hours or so....

Haven't decided yet if I'm going to go into a pub in Richmond or watch from the couch..

 

[new breed]

McKenxie has not trained all week evidently , I expect McKenzie to be a late out with Smith coming in and Will Schofield to play CHB .

That is my guess , I really have no idea .

Hope we can salvage a win

ps Hawthorn were very impressive , to be in a top 4 with Coll , Geelong and Hawks would be good !

 

[Prem87]

I still have the feeling they'll play Gibbs and I hope they do. Will be a liability for them even before Waters gives him a shirt front..

Someone please post that vid of waters bump against salopek? from that 2007 final!!

I mean we're the eagles, the west coast eagles. I had a whole day planned of 92,94,06 grand finals before our game but have the kids and their cartoons to deal with...... Why cant the foxtel be connected to the smaller tv.

No way known Gibbs will play and it doesn't even look likely that we'll bring Hampson in, as we had expected.
Unless someone finds a way to injure themselves or had been food poisoned last night, the team should stay as named, with only the Sub to be nominated.

Congratulations also to all you posters, who have all been terrific on our board and on the main board.
My final time here today, so just wish us all a great game and may the hungrier team win.

 

[laurie]

Can someone here please tell me where I can get the WCE theme song on MP3 so that I can annoy my friends when we win

 

[BradWCE]

Can't wait for the game. First home final for 4 years, seems a lot longer than that to be honest. Play our best footy and I think we'll win.

 

[wcesteve]

Lets do it Eagles.....smash em.

 

[zeeCFC]

Good idea, you won't be able to simply record it after the match

FYI - Not that you guys worry about the ruck often, but Hampson is very likely to be a late inclusion..

 

[8732watitdo]

Cmon boys lets get the win and hopefully 2 more.

 

[ioppolo]

I'm bloody pumped for this! I can't wait!

For who?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

What's everyone's thoughts re: Hampson and EMac.

Where about in Tassie mate??

I live in Launceston and am watching the game at my brothers who is a Carlton supporter.

I just got back from living in Perth for 8 years and agree about the broadcast times!! Also I used to watch TVU every Friday night when I was in WA to get the games live.

 

[mitchzz]

It's impossible for Gibbs to be a late inclusion isn't it? Given he isn't on the emergencies list.

Not impossible. Carlton just have to pay a fine

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Not impossible. Carlton just have to pay a fine

Rodney Eade said it is only a $3000.00 fine if a player plays who was not on the Emergency list.

 

[triplegee]

SEN have just announced that Waite is an in. No mention of the out of course...
