One other thing to note about the last game is Sier didn't play the second half and Langdon was off for most of the third quarter, both with little injuries.
Hutchings was brilliant against Sidebottom and Lycett did really well solo against Grundy.

And WHE was horrible as it looked like he wasn't over the injury from the previous week.
He looked sore in the Freo game too.

So what are the keys for us to win the game? And the key match-ups?
Pies
Pies
- Strengths
- midfield generally
- Grundy
- small/medium forwards
- Weaknesses
- tall defenders (especially if Moore is out)
- reliance on Cox and Mihocek (who can be decent)
- some medium defenders aren't that great
- Strengths
- defence generally
- Gov et al intercept marking
- tall forwards
- Weaknesses
- Gawn showed that we can be exposed in the ruck
- midfield depth
Strengths - Tall forwards...and Small forwards!!...how good does that sound?

Yeah Rioli, Ryan, LeCras, Cripps and Venables could cause some damage.

I've always liked Cripps and thought he was (somewhat) underrated. It seems like the last few games he's hit another level though. I think he will be the surprise x factor going into Sheptember.

Big Jo Ken (josh kennedy for those not in know) looked like he was moving well on the west coast instagram story today
So Barass to harass Cox?
At least he has an Avatar
Nothing Wrong with the Avatar champ
We need a quick start and a goal or at least goal assist in the first few minutes to JK would be just the tonic.
With Ryan/Rioli most teams are happy to have one player like this to keep defenders on edge, two of them.........
R&R J&J that has to keep defenders awake at night if they are all in the same team.

Treloar won't play by the sounds of it
Pendlebury also doubtful with a strain of viral meningitis which is the lesser strain .
Pendlebury one of the classiest players in the competition you gotta hope he gets right and plays .

Umm, I'm ok if Pendlebury doesn't play..?
Just re-watched the Tigers game and wow, has to be best game of the season,
Eagles switched on from go to whoa, quick start, slick ball movement, fast running,
clean disposal and Jack clunking marks all day...need to bring all of that!!
Long range forecast - fine, sunny, 17c, light winds.

I went to the Eagles "finals lunch" today and they had shuey and JK stand up and get interviewed in front of the crowd. JK said in front of everyone that he'd done his physical testing today and was declared fit and is a certain starter. Lock him in
They also did a panel show and one of the journos on the panel was dead set certain that pendlebury had meningitis and it was serious given he missed the game against freo with it. Was convinced he wouldn't play.
He played against Freo
So Channel 10 showed footage of JK confirming he is right to go and that he passed his tests. Brilliant and OAllen unlucky but hey.
Jetta is likely to come in as a fit to pick up Stephenson. Who drops out - one of Barrass or Schofield or a smaller defender or mid? For me it is Sheed. Not based on the Brisbane game - more that I think his value generally is low.
Defensively Schofield to de Goey, Barrass to Cox, McGovern to Mihocek and Jetta to Stephenson. Sheppard could also go De Goey of Stephenson.
Pies are a good match up for us. Grundy has been great in 2018 but Lycett competes well against him as he is not monstered a la Gawn.
De Goey and Sidebottom are the 2 that we will need to watch. We need to avoid the poor start we had to the round 17 clash. Hutch to Sidebottom makes sense.
Like the fact that they will struggle with our forwards as there are some serious match ups that will worry them.
People worried about too many Pies coming back from injury only need to go back to the Doggies first week on finals in 2017.
Tactically - wondering what Pies will do with maybe playing a faster player on Gov like Port did.
It will be a long week to have to wait out.
