Preview Changes for Derby

[wayToGo_]

MDB's certainly not the slowest in our side. He ran a 2.92 in the sprint way back in the 2008 draft combine (same as Shuey). I don't think either are speedsters but they aren't slow. I wasn't certain of the selection as I think we are adding an inside player in place of an outside but on match ups I kind of get it. Barlow and De Boer will probably match up ok defensively on Priddis and Shuey. Suban rotating in on Gaff (if they play him inside). And then Mundy/Fyfe to counter Redden/Yeo. Still think we need Hill closer to the ball and Sutcliffe back in defence but maybe that will happen on game day. Midfield battle is going to be an interesting one - think it's a game we could re-establish ourselves as a finals chance if we can get on top with the clearances. If we don't they'll probably hammer us.

What a load of rubbish re Collins. Marcus Adams was more a forward for west Perth, playing in defence and played well... How can you say Collins would be dominated?? From the two games you've seen for peel? For the games at box hill you watched? Sometimes when given a chance, people rise.

I agree on the other points though

You're right, I don't really know how Collins would go. He may hold his own even, but my guess would be the lack of AFL experience and fitness against a very organised and I'd say elite fwd set up that the Eagles have would be a pretty tough ask especially if our up the ground & stoppage play is as swiss-cheese like as it has been the first two rounds. More the point, even if he did well, and he may very well do that, he'd not change our overall fortunes dramatically - that is really the point I'm making.

West Coast are a vastly better side than early last year and we have gone backwards. Ballantine kicked his four goals in a team that lost to the Suns at home. The Suns FFS.

You obviously haven't seen WC'S games this season. From the NAB all the way through they have been crap. Freagles aren't welcome on here by the way.

Very underwhelming selection night.

One change from a team where so many have played so poorly for two weeks in a row - and that change was forced by injury anyway.

I'm sure DeBoer will help out with that skill level issue we've been having though.

As opposed to the legion of highly skilled reserves we have running around at Peel?

There can't be too many worse than Deboer.

We know what we're going to get with him, I don't see the point in always going back to the same bunch of guys who haven't been able to get the job done when we most need it. Particularly if we're trying to transition to a new style that will negate their strengths and expose their weaknesses.

Matt will run though someone Saturday.

It will be like a beautiful brick wall smashes into a tattooed beard thing.

Boom. Sploosh.

picko you got your gif?

Cant remember where I stored it, but its still plastered all over bay 13. That thread got bumped recently, so should be easy to find. I'd do it but I'm on my phone

 

[Reginald Perrin]

In: De Boer Out: Clancee...... meh. Replacing one soldier with another but it sets a good example rewarding good Peel performances. Langdon was the first to benefit, played a good game for Peel and got rewarded, De Boer played a good game and has been rewarded so I think that's fair.

Played a good game in round two but didn't play at all in round 3.

In all fairness, those guys have generally been able to get the job done against West Coast.

The season isn't gone yet, let's not start tanking until it is.

 

[Taylor]

Perhaps Gaff is getting tagged.

They played reasonably alright in the second half, urban legend says they should start the next game like they finished the last

 

[Taylor]

Hopefully, for the Eagles, that is 46 points down.

Masten is like a daddy long legs, tiny fangs with very little penetration. I can't see him hurting Matty DeBoer.

The match committee selected him.

Can we roast the big bird?

Do you have me on ignore? The bit he quoted had Dawson's name mentioned on it.

No I don't have you on ignore.

No i

Yep saw it the first time

The youngsters haven't had 7 years of strength and conditioning training as a professional athlete. DeBoer has.

All of our senior players dominate in the WAFL when they play there. Then they play AFL and spud it up because they aren't skillful enough.

*cough* sylvia *cough*

 

[Grape Bear]

DeBoer will at least hurt them. Quite literally.

In: Rain. Lots of mud and rain, please, footy gods.

 

[estibador]

*cough* sylvia *cough*

But he said strength and conditioning training as a professional athlete.

Sylvia played for Melbourne.

Everyone bar Sam Newman on the Footy Show have tipped us to win. Travis Cloke even suggested putting your life savings on Freo at $3.00.

Are they trolling?!

The only thing I'm looking forward to is the possibility of this:
