Preview Changes for Round 10 vs Richmond

[zero]

Well, the thing I'm most disappointed with is Petterd won't be making his way on to the field.

although i did see his mum in the crowd at the claremont game on saturday

What's the inside word on Selwood, Waters and Schofield, any chance they'll play?

According to Matthew Campbell, Schofield played last week - took until the last quarter before he finally realised that Schoey wasn't playing and it was in fact Eric McKenzie ! What a waste of airtime the man is.

How about the time we beat Carlton at Etihad in 2011, round 14 I think??

Jamison was injured and Gibbs was forced to play on Lynch.

But yes, that was about the only example where we really really grit our teeth. Seems that we have been in cruise mode ever since.

Yea I know what you mean. I was so excited after that win it seemed like we would go on to take a lot of other big scalps but it just hasn't happened. Yet.

Our mids bar Kerr just seem to go into their shell too much when faced with bigger, better mids. We need a leader in the middle. Maybe NN will just continue to win games off his own boot/hand

it is very hard to think of examples in the past couple years where we've beaten quality teams, especially away from home.

that's the difference between us and sydney.

that's what separates us from the teams that can be thought of as legitimate premiership contenders.

We're getting closer the two games against the pies last year, and against hawks all in Melbourne. I know the hawks beat us pretty easily in the end, but apart from the first 10 mins we out scored them for the rest of the game. We're getting closer, and it could come round 13 I hope

 

[Oneiros]

Everyone is tipping us again. Starting to feel twitchy and nervous about that.

 

[Belltower]

We have had excuses this year (injuries)but we blew it against collingwood in the finals last year (thanks embers) and we should have won mid year last year as well. Our midfield has been getting monstered against the best teams and we thought wellingham would help but alas he has been injured for most of the year. The main problems are a lack of clean hands around the stoppages and the inabilty of our mids to take advantage of our ruck dominance. Also we don't take the game on enough and tend to play safe and it allows teams to drop players back stopping one of our strengths, our stacked forward line.

I like Matt Campbell. It would be nice if commentator's knew every team's starting lineup and their players, but we can't ask for everything.

He's better than BT.

Anyone is better than BT. I also hate the way Campbell ( along with numerous others ) calls us " the west coast". We are the West Coast Eagles. Call us " the Eagles" or "West Coast " . It really annoys me!! Why don't they also call "the Essendon" or " the Carlton " or " the Collingwood " etc etc.

WEST COAST
In: A.Selwood, P.McGinnity, A.Embley
Out: -

 

[lmach]

What does Wilson have to ****ing do to get a game? If Selwood plays I'll be so pissed.

 

[Noctorniquet]

WEST COAST
In: A.Selwood, P.McGinnity, A.Embley
Out: -

They are very bad ins for me. I'd like to think there would be either no change given these ins or Embley for DDD if he doesnt get up

 

[Arecsa]

lol @ those ins, awful.

 

[Chris_6678]

Hope the bench is: Shep, Mginnity,Hutchings Sub: Embley

 

[erbenz]

Ginners to come in and play the lockdown defender role instead of A. Selwood as Dalziell goes out. Hutchings and Shep stay in the team, one of them gets the vest.

 

[erbenz]

Also, Richmond's changes are hardly inspiring too, so I'm happy for that at least.

 

[Eagle87]

I doubt we could have picked 3 less exciting ins ... I know McGinnity still has some fans on here but seriously he's just another in a long line of B graders with very obvious deficiencies .... Depressing ins

 

[Oneiros]

Well, those Ins could simply comprise the Emergencies when we have to submit the final sheets.

Agreed.
I suspect that if Selwood plays it will be to blanket Martin when Martin comes forward, because King and Nahas are poor matchups for him and aren't really good enough to justify bringing in limited, negative players for.
Would prefer we gave the Martin matchup to Brennan and kept the backline the same.

Would only bring in Embley for Dalziell if we want him as an impact sub.

 

[mad_eagle]

What to do with Hutch in DT...does he play the full game or not?!?

 

[lmach]

Nahas has been omitted.
