Game Day AFL R2 vs Gold Coast @ Metricon 5:40pm AWST 13 June 2020

[Barrybran]

Same thing as usual. JK is sore / pulled up sore from training.

Being over 30 will do that to you

 

[Agent93]

Yeah, but Haggers doesn't talk about me on the radio.

I pull up sore after a couple hours of gardening, let alone full contact sport

 

[Barrybran]

Yeah, but Haggers doesn't talk about me on the radio.

Do something stupid and you might get a mention

Same thing as usual. JK is sore / pulled up sore from training.

Haggers clearly would have got this first hand from being at training this week.

 

[Wild Kelly]

Haggers clearly would have got this first hand from being at training this week.

With his track record he is probably on the Ivory Coast.

 

[RookiePick]

Same thing as usual. JK is sore / pulled up sore from training.

In fairness, Harry is still a pretty big unit to give a bath too. Not surprised JK is sore after that.

 

[Chris_6678]

Lucky JK doesn't have to get on a plane.

Not surprised he is sore after training in the wet.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

I'd say it's traditional, but (to use a cliche) we're in unprecedented times.

Haggers did his scheduled run on "JK is injured" this morning. Normalcy is resuming.

* haggers. campaigner shouldnt speak ill of the fridge.

the fridge is a brick. the fridge is fine. the fridge will play.

Could be a silly question but how do Kennedy and Darling usually go in wet weather conditions? While I'm at it, I'm also curious about T.Kelly's typical output in those conditions but I would understand if there was a bit of unknown among the Eagles supporters on that front given he just moved to the club.

Just trying to get a feel for how much of a factor the rain will be on Saturday night.

Kelly will go fine in those conditions. I wanted us to draft him when he dominated the VFL in shocking conditions playing for WA a few years back on a sodden ground. His skills were excellent that day.

Kennedy and Darling will be important anyway as they'll force contest after contest. It's a shame we're lacking our best crumber in Willie but we have enough other smalls to give some grief at their feet.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Darling loves the slop.

It's regulation chest/uncontested marks in the clear he really struggles with.

 

[Chris_6678]

Wet weather footy could be Ah chees time to shine. I do hope he gets another crack and can hold down Riolis spot.

One thing that is consistently overlooked with Kennedey and Darling is their aerobic capacity and agility for KPF. Kennedy has slowed down a bit, but both of them are very good at tackling and crumbling for goals when they have to.

End of the day, Gold Coast is massively outclassed in this game. The only way they win is if we've stuffed our physical conditioning over the break or dont bring good intent.

 

[Dark Sharks]

In his 9th season on a list, Ah Chee is still yet to string together more than 4 games in a row at AFL level.


Despite there being an 83 day gap between rounds 1 & 2, this could be the year he finally does it.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Good to see the boys getting some time in disgraceful conditions with extreme humidity. Will serve them well to get over that as a hurdle.

Team Announcement: Allen set to face Suns

West Coast has made one change to the side that defeated Melbourne in its season opening fixture 12 weeks ago

[ShaunWCEFC]

I can sense 3 goals coming from Ah Chee.

 

[Chris_6678]

Kellys 50th game this week and Gaffs 200 next week & Jettas & Darlings 200th the week after that.

He eats the slop for breakfast

 

[DirtySandman]

There better be some artificial boos added in for our game, or they can gagf.

Current weather has 88% humidity?
