Preview Changes Vs Tiggers round 12

[Miguel Sanchez]

 

[ziad]

I think the fact that there is one 300 gamer between the two football clubs that travel the furthest, year in and year out, is pretty good evidence.

The week started in pretty good spirit but these Tiger flogs are proving themselves neither humourous or insightful at this point. Move on and find something else to bash us for. Masto's hipster failings, Pridda's Bradbury brownlow...there is plenty of decent material to work with.

far to many general comments from people who travel for work etc - tigers don't have jobs

They've done it again

 

[Dugg]

I reckon they are flying early so they can have a light training session tomorrow ..
Haven't trained in Perth so this could be our best possible preparation !

Think they did the main training session last night

Why would you be surprised they haven't changed what they've been doing all season?

Could up 30 @WestCoastEagles travel to Melbourne for Friday night clash with @Richmond_FC @TenNewsPerth #guessinggame

Adam Simpson says jeremy McGovern will travel, train and is expected to play against Richmond on Friday night. McGovern had a cork.

 

[Biggie]

McGovern had a cork.

Well I hope he returns that cork to the bottle, pretty rude to keep it I would've thought.

Not surprised really, was expecting it, but it just seems a little silly, Tigers are favourites, so be it, AFL site has written the article, just stick with their prediction. It just sticks with the general feel of the Eagles social media stuff this year "yay, we're the best, eagles rule" type stuff, just seems juvenile.

McGovern is at the airport

 

[DickDunn]

@adampaps: 23 on the plane for west coast. No Sam Butler. Eagles must be confident on McGovern. Rosa and Nelson into the squad

 

[bombard]

McGovern is at the airport

I'm bloody emotional.

 

[DickDunn]

Would think Nelson in for Butler. Rosa coming off a five-day break after playing for East Perth so could just be travelling to see family etc in Victoria over the bye.

Why the hell not really. We have the money. Buy a private jet and fly the whole squad over each week !

 

[Prem87]

What's wrong with Butler.

He's been so under the radar all year. Been sensational.

 

[RookiePick]

Buttman copped a head knock against the bombers I think. I can't believe he's been omitted so it must be that??

 

[new breed]

Yes they said this morning that Wellingham and Butler were under a cloud , Butler obviously didn't come up after a head knock .

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

With so many guys under clouds and the opportunity to fly unneeded players back for the Royals game, I'm very surprised we've only taken one emergency.

 

[Suma Magic]

You'd think Nelson for Butler. And maybe they decided to play Rosa in defense of Gov doesn't get up. Gov should get up though.

If Rosa pulled up well they could be tempted to make him sub. Experienced hard runner that could really make an impact late in the game. Not sure who they would drop though...

no barrass? gee mcgovern must be better than he seemed

Hopefully it's one of those corks that is better after a nice ice bath & rest.

Or McGovern is confident he can play with the pain- he seems to have a pretty good pain tolerance.

Shame about butler, but at this stage in his career & with the bye coming up it wouldn't be a surprise if we kept him out to freshen him up for the rest of the year. He's been terrific for us. Ellis isn't a bad replacement in that role, and either nelson or rosa can play a role down back.

Does anyone think that we will play yeo down back this week if only to stop Deledio? He has been playing forward this year and he's their barometer. He plays well, they win, more often than not.

Or would we back in our current back 6?

 

[Chris_6678]

IF Rosa is the in would he be a good idea for Sub? I am worried with him only having just played on Sunday and dodgy hammies he might not last a whole game? If fit he would be a handy including down back with height.

 

[WCErevival]

Do we usually travel with one emergency? I thought we took two.

Would prefer to put Selwood on him, sets Selwood the challenge as a stopper and gets him out of the midfield.

McGovern is an immortal.

Lookout Tigers, Turbo's coming for ya.
