Preview Changes for round 2 vs GWS

[Sw3Et]

I know fk all about Josh Smith. How's he been going? What position/role will he play?

 

[Biggie]

We’ve got plenty run now and the big beared lad is back.

Cripps and Willie to come back soon and we’ll all forget that Rnd 1 even happened.

Season starts now campaigners

 

[Dark Sharks]

Can't say I'm a fan of the Brander out for Smith but it is what it is.

Waterman for JK is a no brainer.

 

[Ok Boomer]

I like the Smith inclusion. He will play the second winger role and his inclusion suits our 2018 mantra a lot more with playing the role instead of "best available". Gaff will replace the following week.


Kennedy for Waterman is a no brainer.

Greene and Kelly out, 2 of their best 3 as far as I'm concerned so that is massive.

 

[Biggie]

Can't say I'm a fan of the Brander out for Smith but it is what it is.

Needed run didn’t we ol’ mate?

Pity Cripps didn’t come up (say we see him next week) and of course My Willie is absent.

Let’s get behind the lad.

 

[Rowan18]

Very happy with these ins and Kelly and Greene missing will help us immensely.

It's also exciting to know that next week we get Cripps and Gaff back - that will be a pretty strong team.

 

[wraglesweb]

Hickey a liability.......

 

[Dylan82]

Ah Chee getting so much time in the emergency services that people are going to mistake him for a paramedic soon.

 

[dajesmac]

Dunno about Smith in. Seems widely considered a spud. Oh well, will back him in on Sat.

 

[Chris_6678]

I didn't feel Waterman deserved a round 1 berth after not impressing that much in the pre-season.

We looked much more balanced and i am glad to see if Allen can kick a few more goals.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Masten and Venables named on the wings...I think I'm gonna cry. (yeah I know that probably won't line up that way)

 

[Dylan82]

Dunno about Smith in. Seems widely considered a spud. Oh well, will back him in on Sat.

Think Masten without the jubilance.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Let's just say if we don't get outside run in this game with both Marsden and Smith out there we may as well just merge with Fremantle.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

**** me, I forgot all about Josh Smith

Keeping Gaffs seat warm?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Smith in to address the lack of run last week I'm assuming. Interesting to see how he goes.

Hopefully the two rucks works better than last week. No Barrass/Gov rucking in the back line

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Love the changes, we were to top heavy and inexperienced last week. Both Waterman and Brander will be good players in time, but Jk back is massive. Also Smith brings another midfield option with good pace.

I know he has amazing endurance but is he actually fast? And does he run at Crazy subtle angles?

 

[Doashuey]

Smith is a good call. Given he is likely to play the same roll as Masten and Gaff to come in next week it should.put presuure.on both wingmen to perform.
Hickey had a shocker last week but I think we need to give him at least one more Vardy was no better and we all know how good he can be.
Brander unlucky but we need run against GWS.

 

[Chris_6678]

No Ward, Kelly or Greene... We SHOULD win this.

 

[Avalor]

"Allen (28 disposals, one goal), Brayshaw (23, two goals) and Ah Chee (20, one goal) led the Eagles’ midfield charge. "

https://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/2019-03-25/wafl-eagles-rise-above-royals

So all three have claims for inclusion.

No Ward, Kelly or Greene... We SHOULD win this.

One would hope so.

 

[The wily weagle]

I know it's Mastens 200th and he was never going to be dropped, but if he serves up 11 disposals again and almost no defensive pressure he should be an omission next week

 

[squashface]

So weakest performed of Masten and Smith goes out for Gaff next week

 

[Dylan82]

So weakest performed of Masten and Smith goes out for Gaff next week

So it would seem (unless the club has designs on Gaff becoming a far more inside/outside player).

Seagull thunderdome - two go in, one comes out.

 

[Corn69]

I know he has amazing endurance but is he actually fast? And does he run at Crazy subtle angles?

He’s basically a Masten without the ability to trip over his own feet

 

[Carbine Chaos]

He’s basically a Masten without the 200 games or premiership medallion

EFA

 

[twce13]

Huge opportunity for Smith to dislodge masto.

Pet gonna have to have an absolute blinder to stay in the team, feel like it's him or venners who goes out for Cripps.

Very interested to see the two sucks go, surely we can't persist if it continues to fail.
