Prediction Changes v Bombers

[EagleShore]

The ones that shit me are when the balls in play and by exaggerating the contact he goes to ground or otherwise takes himself out of the play. He has to eliminate it from his game and as others have said its disappointing that the coaches haven't made him stop because it's costing the team

So much this. I don't like bagging any of our players as such though I do acknowledge their weaknesses and limitations.

Aside from his rubber chest [emoji12] I believe this is one of the major factors in his so far not reaching what seems/seemed to be a very high and decorative ceiling that'd be littered with highlights images and GIFs that'd make Michelangelo blush.

His mindset somewhere along the line has been sidetracked like an Italian train. Perhaps it was the 2015 GF [emoji24]

No reason to rush Petrie back in. The difference between a 34 old Drew Petrie and Fraser McInnes is minimal.

Fraser almost took more marks against the dogs than Giles has taken in his 5 games this season.

Yeh, can't see any possible way Petrie will come in to replace Big Frase. He had a good game last week & showed 'intent'. (have to admit I had doubts about his selection, very happy that he proved me wrong).
Think Petrie alluded to it in a recent interview stating he was happy to play WAFL.
That aside, it would be very poor decision. Don't think the MC are that silly.

Confirmed that Rioli will get a run on EP reserves

[Keys]

Think changes will be

Cripps for Hill
Nelson for Redden

Think you'll be wrong just quietly

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Hmm...Nelson, Cripps and Mutimer on extended bench with Hill, Mutimer, Wellingham and Redden. Seems like Butler is safe, perhaps Mutimer and Redden out for Nelson and Cripps. Would be disappointing for Mutimer to be dropped...

"As suspected, three men who have been on the injury list in recent weeks – ruckman Drew Petrie, defender Jackson Nelson and forward Jamie Cripps – are all in the selection frame, but we are none-the-wiser as to whether they will play.

They have all been named on an extended seven-man interchange bench, along with four others who were part of the victorious team against the reigning premiers, Western Bulldogs, last Friday night. Jack Redden, Sharrod Wellingham, Josh Hill and Kurt Mutimer make up the rest of the preliminary bench.

The extended bench will be trimmed tomorrow, but until then we are left guessing to some extent."

McInnes doesn't deserve to be dropped.

Not sure who gets pushed out for Cripps and Nelson, probably Mutimer for Cripps.

 

[WCEbrody]

Anyone know what kit we're wearing this weekend?

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Agree.

Cripps was meant to be out much longer, so I think an extra week will only do him good injury-wise. Also I don't think you can say he's been sorely missed.

Petrie isn't a walk up start.

I would bring Nelson in as I think we may need him in defence against the Bombers' forward setup. I gather you might disagree with that one though, given the likely out...

Nelson is great, definitely a future regular in our 22 and an important player moving forward.
Problem for him is his competition is our greatest half back since Wirrapunda and our Banfield The 2nd.
Butler's experience and cool head will feature heavily in his second flag.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good to see Petrie come straight back into the fold.

McInnes can keep his spot when he has 300+ games of experience behind him.

 

[wce4premiership]

Be happy with no changes. Cripps could do with a game in the WAFL but of all of them I'd be the least surprised if it's;

In: Cripps
Out: Mutimer

You are in a rich vein of form ATM Masto, which seems to coincide with no BF posts..just sayin'

 

[Eagleboy68]

Cripps or Mutimer
Nelson or Butler
Petrie or Mcinness

Doubt we'll bring all three injured players in but intrigued as to which, if any, if the above changes we make

Hopefully it's Cripps Nelson and McInnes

Lots of leg speed and youth there I reckon

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Anyone know what kit we're wearing this weekend?

Guessing it'd be the royal. That doesn't clash with the Essendon guernsey at all.

 

[The Stid]

According to Basil we have a new player this weekend, Jordan Nelson. Can anyone tell me anything about him? Is he a Cat B rookie? When did we pick him up? Is he as tall as Gov? How tall is Gov btw? Does he run at crazy subtle angles?

Clearly not obsessed, just a fan.

 

[Godfather32]

Confirmed that Rioli will get a run on EP reserves

Now that they've revealed such vital state secrets can we call for an impeachment of Nisbett?

 

[Farang83150]

Whats Redden done to keep his spot this (or any other) week?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Wow, the FB brigade really don't rate Josh Hill.

 

[Biggie]

Whats Redden done to keep his spot this (or any other) week?

Whatever the MC has asked of him I would guess.

 

[CM9000]

Don't really see the logic behind bringing in Petrie, McInnes deserves to keep his spot.

Petrie is an all-time great of the game, show some respect.

 

[squashface]

Petrie is an all-time great of the game, show some respect.

and undefeated in Eagles colours

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

Unchanged. Tell those boys to carv it up in EP to earn their spot. Unfair to Mut Fraser or Hill to be dropped.

 

[CM9000]

Petrie is an all-time great of the game, show some respect.

Sorry CC, but McInnes > Petrie

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Sorry CC, but McInnes > Petrie

*Quietly waiting for the board to turn its back on McInnes after one or two quiet games*

Sorry CC, but McInnes > Petrie
