Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - EF vs. West Coast Eagles - OS (Perth), Sat 03/10 @ 8:10pm AEST

[Jen2310]

Personally I’d be playing Daicos and Mayne forward and moving WHE and someone else To the wing.

We have flogged this horse and it’s become obvious we need to try something different.

No.. you don't change Daicos. one part that's not broken, you don't need to fix.

 

[SwanBet]

Ever the optimist in me, but when I break down the matchups, I am left really confident that we can go out and win this game.

Back
Moore VS Kennedy
Roughead VS Darling
Madgen VS Allen
Maynard VS Ryan
Crisp VS Cripps
Noble/Quaynor VS AhChee

We need to flip that Roughead/Moore match up from earlier this year. Moore shutting down Kennedy will be the key to us winning this game, he has always been a Collingwood killer, Moore must step up and dominate Kennedy in the air and on the ground. I expect Maynard to blanket Ryan and am otherwise very confident in Madgen, Crisp and Noble winning their respective match ups.

Midield
Grundy VS Naitanui
Pendlebury VS Sheed
Adams VS Hutchins
Greenwood VS Shuey
Treloar VS Kelly
Sier VS Redden
Mayne VS Gaff
Daicos VS Waterman

With no Yeo we really have the size in the midfield to dominate the contested ball. I expect Hutchins to go to Adams and Greenwood to go to Shuey. You then really need to back in Pendlebury/Treloar against Kelly/Sheed in head to head match ups. On the outside I would run Mayne in a defensive role against Gaff and let Daicos go to work on Waterman on the other wing. The defining match up is going to be Grundy VS Nic Nat... Nic Nat will do his damage in the middle so its crucial for Grundy to counter this by playing at his best around the ground as that spare midfielder.

Forward
Cox VS Barrass
Mihochek VS McGovern
DeGoey VS Sheppard
Hoskin-Elliott VS Nelson
Elliott VS Hurn
Thomas/Stephenson VS Jetta/Duggan

We have been saying it all season, but we must move the ball quickly to have any chance against this Eagles backline. DeGoey looms as the match winner and despite how good Sheppard has been all season, DeGoey has him on toast in a one on one setting. Mihochek must play high and he must be honored on the lead to draw McGovern out. Cox needs to either play as a bail out long option or be a complete decoy to isolate DeGoey.

Daicos isn’t any good up forward

 

[jmac70]

Daicos isn’t any good up forward

Must be why he’s nominated for goal of the year.

 

[mike123]

Must be why he’s nominated for goal of the year.

He kicked that whilst playing as a winger

 

[jmac70]

He kicked that whilst playing as a winger

Whilst being in the forward line.

DeGoey VS Sheppard

Delicious.

Mayne has done a job on McGovern in the past, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[mike123]

Mayne has done a job on McGovern in the past, if I'm not mistaken.

He did, he also fumbled allot of opportunities up forward that game as well.

I like everything you've written. The only other comment I'd make is, MUST clear the ball if Grundy wins the ruck.
We've been very poor at taking advantage of his dominance.

Every opposition coach is aware of his dominance and except for clubs like West Coast instruct the midfield to rove to Grundy.
That is very simple basic, basic, basic coaching 101.

I don’t think Hurn will play on Elliot. If it happens, we should kick to him everytime. He should have Hurn for pace.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Looks like Mayne is a certainty.
Brown, Sier, Cameron a chance.

No Phillips.

That be beyond Bucks would do

With his dominance, he should be able to regularly do what Clark Keating did to us those many years back.

None of the boys should have a shower between now and the game. No deodorant allowed.

Unless it's brut.

A good mix of brut and odor.. toxic.. we'll have em jumping the fence re.

 

[TakingThePies]

It doesn't matter about match ups on their backs, their zone is ridiculous and with McGovern coming back it just ties it together even better imo.

 

[Pistol Night]

Fair *n dinkum does Kennedy just pretend he’s injured and wait to come back against us every time. Blokes could do ACLs and recover in a week if it meant playing against the Pies in a final.

Like IF 1 of Kelly or Ruscoe Played

 

[jmac70]

Still reckon we bring Cameron in and go tall. Be like land of the giants and s**t

Move on from your Brut obsession mate, this is where it's at.

 

[Anzacday]

Might be Keane and Darkyprotector gets his wish.

Be like land of the giants and sh*t

I see you've been gimpified.

 

[Harry O]

What annoys me is the Collingwood player running by him (WHE) could have received the handball. WHE could have ran to 50 and had a shot at goal or kick to De Goey. That play is tortuous.

Can’t say I am going to rewatch the last quarter any time soon. Don’t favour self harm

the first goal of the match for the Eagles and all the luck involved with it, was the deciding moment of the game

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Move on from your Brut obsession mate, this is where it's at.

We'll wear it when we go to the Dew Drop Inn and that re.. in 2023.

 

[pablo disco bar]

How about left field bring keane in.

Gives us flexibility with moore

Ffs dump keane full forward

Just do something
