Preview Changes v WCE, Sunday 8 June, 320pm, Bunbury WA game (AFL+VFL bye week beforehand)

[The Nostradamus]

Can’t see us dropping anyone tomorrow night before we have to name a final team on Friday

But the ins to the extended squad should be willphil, teakle and 1 of cooper/ford if rewarding form

 

[gerry101101]

Things I don’t want to see:
1. A windy day where we kick with the breeze first and have to try and hang on with a sub-par 2 goal lead in the last quarter with all the play at the Eagles end.
2. A wet weather slog where even if we win we look shot for the next 4 weeks after it.
3. A scorcher where even if we win we look shot for the next 4 weeks after it.
4. A loss.

TLDR: praying for good conditions and a W

Looking like mint conditions at the moment

 

[Blightys Barrel]

I gotta feeling that Paul Curtis is going to launch himself back into the AA selection conversation. If he kicks straight and is a little more selfish around the goals, then 5-6 goals could be on the cards.

Holy **** he was driving me nuts against Collingwood. Don't bother passing it man your teammates are all donkeys

Souvlaki Diet - 3 a day

If you find a keto low calorie wrap, having 3 x Souvas a day is actually a rather healthy diet. Greek yoghurt, garlic, tomato, onion, lettuce and grilled chicken or lamb is about as good and healthy meal you can eat.


Unfortunately Griffen isn’t eating Souvas, he’s eating 3 x Halal snack packs a day

 

[Only Forwards]

I definitely saviour any wins we get.

But I'm duped each time into thinking just maybe this was the start of something.

Spoiler: it never is

We will only know it retrospect.

No one can tell in the moment as no one can tell the future.

 

[big_e]

For those wondering about seating, etc.

 

[speedy]

Wit, surely? Ah but am I being facetious or sarcastic

I was sarcastic, you were facetious and then I made no apologies for being blatantly sarcastic.

It is what happens after 5 years of the team being shit.

 

[Caracas]

Honestly, I’m trying to drum up the courage to watch this game.

 

[spurs]

This game will tell us a lot of where we are at. A loss or a scratchy win won't cut it, this has to be a convincing win. More shots at goal, more inside 50's along with a 30plus win.

What’s a convincing win?

 

[Frank Thring]

What’s a convincing win?

Um didn't I stipulate it?

 

[Blightys Barrel]

What’s a convincing win?

1. Effort in all 4 QTRs.
2. No patches where the opposition has > 2 goal roll on.
3. Win the tackle count.
4. 30 point win after an early arm wrestle where we rely on the Eagles dropping their heads before we normally do.

[Passmore]

Without knowing what was up with Corr, and looking at who was in the blue squad when they split at the end....

McDonald Pink Logue
Daniel Comben Hardeman

Stephens LDU O'Sullivan
Xerri Simpkin Wardlaw

Sheezel Darling Parker
Curtis Larkey Zurhaar

Powell McKercher Konstanty Hansen Fisher Harvey Corr?

 

[Chadwiko]

If Hansen gets an AFL call up before Will Phillips, I'm just going to snap.

Agree to disagree Frank, a win is a win is a win, doesn't matter how it comes as long as we get the 4 points.

We've won 8 games during Clarkson's tenure, we don't have the luxury of stipulating what type of win it needs to be, we just need a win.

 

[Devski]

I gotta feeling that Paul Curtis is going to launch himself back into the AA selection conversation. If he kicks straight and is a little more selfish around the goals, then 5-6 goals could be on the cards.

He is still the 9th best player in the comp according to ChampionData.

I would say he’s a lock but Xerri was so blatantly robbed last year.

 

[scottywiper]

one change. Logue for Corr.

I'll give you my flight and game ticket if you want. I'd be just as happy putting pins in my eyes at home

 

[Event Horizon]

2. A wet weather slog where even if we win we look shot for the next 4 weeks after it.
3. A scorcher where even if we win we look shot for the next 4 weeks after it.
4. A loss.

TLDR: praying for good conditions and a W

I'll give you the tip - whether it's a scorcher or a wet day - given we typically win less than once a month, we will likely be shot for the next 4 weeks regardless of the weather

That rarely happens in any AFL games. No team has it their way the whole game.

You have just named our emergencies....unfortunately, especially if WilPhil cant get in the team..

 

[tales129]

one change. Logue for Corr.

And watch our defensive structure look like absolute dog shit whilst Logue trails 5m behind Oscar Allen, all the while pointing to other areas and generally looking out of condition
