Derby - Oh Yeah

[wild side]

"The Eagles are a game ahead of us, they have been spoken up a lot and we understand exactly where this game sits," Harvey said.

"It's probably the ideal build-up really."

Ins: Crowley (playing for his career), Keplar!
Outs : Dunno !!

And so the first blow is stuck.

no way in hell crowly should be in. mellington and bradley are the only players who should get forced in if there are any changes.

bradley the sub and barlow full time?

Crowley has to play, as we will need a big body. He's not a great player, but he's got a good record in Derbies. I'd play him on Priddis.

So excited!

At least we know Mellington will lay a tackle or two. With the cavalry arriving I think Crowley will find himself on the outer.

Lets hope so if this year is anything to go by. However in saying that, I would definitely consider him for the derby and if he cannot make an impact than I would just about say he's done.

Could be a elimination final preview.

Fyfe for the Glendinning medal. I was going to say Barlow, but he's already got one

He is on the Weagles payroll now so I hope that he doesn't get a say in who gets it.

What a buildup!

Our home game, there's better not be an empty seat in the house!

 

[Clay Davis]

Don't be fooled by West Coast's performance yesterday. Without Kerr they are a completely different side - ie shit. Yes, they beat us without Kerr in the side, but we were shitter then. Hopefully we're better now.

If Kerr comes back - I'm really not sure about the status of his injury - then it will be very tough for us.

 

[wild side]

I'm not fooled ! I just don't think the Toast are as good as Channel 7 and the Worst Australian would have us believe.
Harv's will have done his homework, that I am sure of !

Against reasonable sides wce only play at their peak for 2-2.5 quarters of the game when they do all the damage and restrict the opposition to stuff all.. we stay close to them for that period we are right in it up to our ears.. we get blown away, we are in trouble

The key IMO will be to maintain possession whilst the Eagles are running around with their heads cut off trying to press instead of trying to manically play on at all costs.

looking forward to a bit of biff. the boys were just warming up last week against the swans

Off to Bali.... should I be happy or sad? I can't figure it out yet.

McPhee looks like he's just sat in the gym every day while he was recovering. Massive.

 

[estibador]

He is on the Weagles payroll now so I hope that he doesn't get a say in who gets it.

It's a joke it's even named after him anyway. He's had 4/5ths of f**k all to do with our history besides a brief spell on our selection committee. Might as well go the whole eagle and name it the John Worsfold medal on the flimsy pretext that Woosha once played at Freo Oval.

Should call it the Kickett-Read Medal in honour of what derby passion should be about. As an added bonus it would be a constant reminder of what a slimy bunch our opposition are.

Would much rather DeBoer or McPhee on Priddis. Either of those guys offer more than Crowley and do a better job of the tagging role.

Leave Crowley in the WAFL.

Hayden obviously out. Duffield into his spot. Frees up a spot in the forward line for Barlow to start. Barlow in the forward line with some time in midfield. Mello onto the bench, and coming into the forward line with 10 mins left in the third.

Kep in if MJ doesn't come up. Apart from that, might be a struggle to find a spot for Kep. MJ has actually been playing pretty good in the forward line in recent weeks, and Clarke is the back-up ruckman.

Reckon we need Clarke in against the Weagles as Kep tries, but really isn't all that good as a ruck. Love the bloke, but hard to crow bar him in there. Would've said boot out Duff if anyone other than Rog had been injured. Other person to boot would be Roberton, but his extra height and run is handy... and he's played pretty well the last couple of weeks.

As I said, hard to find someone to kick out to get Kep in. Reckon Harvs will give Mello a go in the Derby though.

Jarrad Schofield or Brendan Fewster medal?
