Strategy Changes vs Adelaide Crows Rd 13 2023

[THE A5]

Reckon Clark will be the back up ruckmen. Not a fan of having a tall as a sub but I feel like one of Barnett of Williams should be sub

 

[eaglespremiers]

Never mind the Rankin match-up, with no recognized tall defenders, Tex is gonna kick a dozen

It's Fogarty who usually gets us.
If Waterman goes to Walker we literally don't have a suitable defender to play on him.
I suppose my could play Maric as a lock down defender in his first game. Seems a waste, but may not have another option.

 

[Bender_]

I think thats the worst backline we have ever fielded. I'm struggling to think of a worse one. Maybe 2000 era

Should we give Nick Stone a call?

Trent Carroll, thanks.

 

[THE A5]

Have this weird recollection of yeo playing on tex. might have been 17 or 18 and probably could be a match up

 

[Bender_]

Trent Carroll, thanks.

Who was that other Freo backman spud we had?

 

[eaglespremiers]

Who was that other Freo backman spud we had?

Brendon Fewster, made famous for being the starting key defender in AFL '99.

Nah was thinking of Greg Harding.

Waterman will be crusified either way, such is the fate of a WAFL HFF. Maric is a child still.

Yeah think it was that game. Reckon we were going through a slump at that stage and we lost that game too. He might have been moved into the guts late to give us a spark

So does anyone want to have a stab at guessing -

a) who will be this week's surprise late withdrawal and what will be the explanation?

B) when will be our first gameday injury what will it be, who will it be to?

Based on the established principal of 'someone who would really really **** us' for A and 'something really predictable (which would **** us)' for B, i say

A)
Late out- Allen
Explanation - 'Yeah Oscar just noticed a bit of a hotspot in his foot as he was walking onto our flight.. we don't think its anything too serious but we thought it would be better to monitor it..'

B)
when- 20 seconds before quarter time.
Who/What- Shuey after a dazzling 15 touch 10 clearance first quarter. Cut to the quarter time break with footage of him with ice taped around his hamstring angrily punching the dugout wall.
Post game explanation 'yeah look I haven't spoken with him but from what I've been told Luke just had some hamstring awareness early on, he showed great leadership to try to play through it but ultimately he needed to come off, so we'll ice it, and i hopefully he'll be okay after the bye'

 

[peeky]

Wow unless we absolutely dominate in the midfield and have 70 inside 50s we are going to get destroyed.

I think Yeo has to go to either Tex or Fog.

Would be worried about their forward potency if we were at fill strength. All I can do is laugh atm.

Forget winning, having a game with no injuries will be a bigger result! Imagine going in to the next week with no forced changes.

(Thursday night)

'Um..so unfortunately, simmo is not able to coach this week, he looked at the team sheet and when he finally satisfied himself there were no forced outs he actually had a bit of cardiac awareness we think linked to the sheer shock and excitement... initially we thought it might be concussion because he kept shaking assistants and demanding to know if this was real or a dream...he's currently under observation in a secure ward, but he's progressing well through his rehab and should be available to coach in 6-7 weeks'

 

[eaglesnutcase]

He is smart, great kick, strong hands and experienced body. His core strength is such that he can kick 50+m accurately of one step. But fill your boots with hate.

All of that and still a pussy!!

 

[DanWCE]

Finally we get the Yeo, Shuey, Ginbey rotation

 

[ROO DOGG]

I can guarantee 100% there will be no forced changes next week.

Yo would scare Tex

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Just put Gaff at FB.

Get Gaff to take the kick ins. Can put Bailey Williams and Darling at the 30m line waiting for Gaffs roost of a kick

Aw

If only you could share that love with all our own players.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

I’m in the “attack” camp!
F##k worrying about match ups and who can play on Fogarty,Tex,Rankine,etc. it really doesn’t matter.
Load up in the middle and just hang the ball forward as much as we can. Who cares if they rebound for thirty goals. Let’s just give OA and Maric and Long as many looks as possible.
I’ve never understood this damage limitation policy at WC when your getting walloped by 60+ points every week.
Give us something to smile about.
We are gunna get belted Simmo!! Accept it!!
Let’s get some positives out of it.
As stated it could be our worst ever backline.But it’s a decent midfield and a forward line with some shining lights.
ATTACK!!!!!!!!

 

[InTheWings]

Heard Simmo on 6PR tonight, said Rotham's injury occurred when he was doing line drills. A fingernail got pulled up and broke his thumb.

 

[Goroyals22]

Well at least when we are 8 goals down Simpson won’t be able to move waterman behind the ball this week.. he will already be there watching it fly over his head
