Preview Changes vs WCE

[dus]

Stay on the ground and see if you can tag Reid after that.

Tag? Bro. The only thing I can tag is the eftpos machine at the bar.

 

[Sticksphat]

Jesus.

What Clarkson said is not a good sign.

Yes, Goad's energy. F'me, the kids so laid back he's damn near horizontal.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Would rather Logue be dropped instead of Dawson. Stick Dawson at full back and still bring in Goad.

Yep that or Pink comes in. Dawson would have made sense to play on Duff Man imo though.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Lounge still being in the side is an absolute piss take.

Full blown urine extraction of epic proportions.

 

[Ardent Roo]

Mentioned this in the Wil Dawson thread, but I am O F F I C I A L L Y C O N C E R N E D with what our plan down back is this week.

After we played him as a KPD for the first time last week, now we've dropped Wil Dawson (which I think was the right call), but have not replaced him with any tall KPD. We've brought in Goad who will probably play a similar role to what Dawson did his first two weeks in the AFL as a low ToG% chop-out ruck for Xerri.

The West Coast named forward line includes;

Waterman - 192cm
Duff-Tytler - 201cm
Shanahan - 195cm
Cole - 189cm

We're left with Logue and Comben as the only "tall" KPDs with defensive experience to cover these guys.

Would rather play Daniel on Duff-Tyler than bring in Pink though. Would have liked Whitlock to be given a chance.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I’m quite torn about this. On the one hand, I’m truly ecstatic that Goad has earned selection. On the other hand, I watched last week’s VFL game…

Just plonk him in the goal square and hopefully he clunks a few when he's not rucking.
Young struggled with Sweet last week, so hopefully Goady or X can give him some problems resting forwarrd.

Taking a big dose of copium here, and putting the tinfoil hat on;

Goad did not fly over early in the week, when Harvey did.
We have brought in a ruck. Unlike Wil Dawson who was a KPD-ruck hybrid, Goad is only a ruck.
We did not bring in another tall KPD.
Toby Pink is still with the team and still an emergency.

...is Xerri going to be a late-out and Pink takes his place?

 

[itchyscratch]

Pleased that Goad gets a chance. Seems that everyone else gets multiple chances after every crap performance, so let’s see if the rot continues.

 

[Only Forwards]

Not a single meaningful senior player dropped.

We will get a response.

May even win.

Then at some point in the next 6 weeks we’re going to drop games we should win because senior players know it doesn’t really matter how poorly they play they can just front up again the following week.

Delicate little flowers.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Jesus with their outs might as well burn Arden st down if we lose

I agree, but one of those forwards will probably have to play down back for WCE with Ginbey out.
Maybe Goady just follows Duff Man around all game?

 

[bennymate]

Genuinely when the hell did he fly across hahaha

Seeing Logue made me angry.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Spargo was chasing an jumping on campaigners late in the game. Not many others were.

Yep. It's really one of Logue or Daniel imo that you could argue being dropped.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Jesus with their outs might as well burn Arden st down if we lose

we're ahead on selection so far, but too many passengers retained from last week

I really hope so.

Goad isn't up for a full game rucking tho.

 

[Ocha905]

Must be great as a senior player- held to zero accountability for your performance no matter what.

At least we’ve seen the last of Fisher. How he got named in the first place demands a royal commission though.

Delicate little flowers.

I suppose it's which one senior player deserves to be dropped, when they all stank, as in the whole team bar a few.
I would've liked Logue or Daniel out. If they don't respond, they might be in trouble next week.

 

[muttley45]

Hope Cooper gets kick in duty from the get go, that should get Daniel out of deep D50, = a win straight away.

Good luck to Goady, main task, get 1st hands to the ball when attending ball up's and direct it to our mid's when possible, use your pace if you get a chance.


Glad to see Blamires back, shouldn't have been out in the first place.

 

[DuckYeah]

Jesus.

What Clarkson said is not a good sign.

Lol toby the cabbage with the cameo.

I honestly cant believe logue keeps his spot.

Honestly, I wouldn’t give a **** about W and L’s after that. I would be making statements and telling every campaigner smiling and laughing you are finished, you are done. Pack your ****in shit and get the **** out. Logue **** off, Dawson FB, Simpkin you wanna smile and laugh and carry on? **** off.. Blamires, You’re in and to the rest of you maggots. HARD AT THE AGGOT! Put in or **** off, alright lets go boys

something, something... last chance, something.... saloon

 

[DuckYeah]

Logue for Pink

Nope, would have played Dawson. **** pink.

 

[kool kangas]

I really hope so.

Goad isn't up for a full game rucking tho.

Goad will most likely be playing the role that Dawson played in his first few games with limited game time.

 

[ferball]

Yep. It's really one of Logue or Daniel imo that you could argue being dropped.

I didn't think Daniel was as bad as Larkey, LDU, Logue, Chom, Fisher or X (not in any order.) I would be happy with any of those guys being dropped. Obviously LDU is important tho.

I don't remember Stephens or Simpkin being particularly bad but did spend long periods of the game trying to claw my own eyes out so might have missed it.

 

[shinboner magic]

I called it earlier in the week to get Goad in.

An unrelated question - what’s the most free kicks against on debut.

 

[Disco Dew]

Big changes for Eagles ahead of clash with @NMFCOfficial.

Duursma (calf) McCarthy (hammy), Ginbey (quad) all out injured. Champion dropped.

Lindsay, Hewett, Gross and debutant Marcus Herbert all in.

Jesus with their outs might as well burn Arden st down if we lose

Smells like a no win situation this week. Win and it doesn’t mean much because of the calibre of their outs. Lose and it’s more lolnorf.


in agreement with much of what’s been said. Some good ins (at least to see them get a crack) but a lot of useless pricks still getting a free ride in the team.

Oh well
