Changes for R7 v Suns

[Apex Predators]

He's had a break...?

A bit cryptic, but my point was that one week the club (and many on this forum) say Nelson needs a rest. A bit frustrating that two weeks later he has had a week off and played much of one game as the sub, now he needs a full game so gets demoted to the WAFL.

So only one tall defender over 190cm?

With McInness and Sinclair as backup.

Just looked at the weather radar and yes it looks wet so maybe a blessing. Play a smaller more mobile forward line if McInness / Sinclair is needed down back.

Anyone want to predict how many marks Naitanui, Sinclair and McInness will take between them this week?

 

[Obeanie1]

If we are going to tag a Suns midfielder i'd rather send Hutchings to Dion Prestia. Bennell too damaging on the outside for Hutch, thats just my opinion but.

Wellinham on Bennell would be a better option. Has better pace than Hutch and is match fit.

Bennell plays that high half forward role and Wellingham is now playing half back.

Three Rucks for the Eagles who were flying high,
Seven disposals each thanks to their legs of stone,
Nine hundred hitouts, all sharked so that we cry,
One mark between them, one mark alone.
In the Land of the Giants where the gameplan dies.
One mark between them all, just one mark will find them,
One mark between them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of the Giants where the gameplan dies.

The weather has evened this game up, I keep thinking back to the Richmond game last year

I know , our skills in the past haven't been great in the wet , hopefully we get over the line tonight .

Rain sucks but I can't see us dropping this

Yes, and I feel Shuey is good in the wet too?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Duggan will be good in the wet - his clean hands were very impressive at a slippery Subi for the first WAFL game of the year.

 

[Jack_the_Ninja]

I have a gut feeling we could drop this game ?

Have you watched the GCS at all this season?

They are shite & it would be very embarrassing to drop this at home.

Can't see us losing this is we maintain our work rate

You realise who you're replying to right?

I'm as pessimistic as they come.

Still can't see us dropping this.

They have to turn it around eventually, but I don't think this will be the game they do it either.
Although the weather changes things we should really win by 40 points at least.

Same here, looking at GC team, they have a few stars still but a lot of newbies, should be a win. Won't be a thumping though, more to the tune or 30 odd points.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Reckon we are one tall too many

If Gov plays, i'd be dropping mcinnes

 

[Eagle87]

I think he gets a spot in front of Butler. ..

Have watched watched this season at all? The last part of last year?

Just checking ...

Well if you subscribe to the theory that wet weather actually exaggerates the gap between skilled and unskilled players that'd probably not be the case

I dont subscribe to that theory.

 

[Eagle87]

I dont subscribe to that theory.

I don't if it's muddy. But if it remains a flat/quickish track with just increased slipperiness then it favours guys with 1 touch skills either around the ball or in marking contests.

Often modern footy is more about the latter.

Its been pretty miserable outside for the last 4-5 hours.
