Preview Eagles in the Lions Den (quite literally) - Changes for Round 8

[Chad in Vegas]

My question is who kicks the arses of those who let the club get to this point?

Or has it just become a successful corporation that’s finally, and so embarrassingly, lost its way?

Is it now a must have on your corporate CV for the WA social elite?

Has the club too often put profit ahead of football?
Or ahead of members or god forbid non-members?

Maybe I’m simple but it can’t all be TKs fault? Or Govs fault? Or JDs fault? Etc etc etc

Just where does the buck stop?

Rowan Jones?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hurry up and name the team, so that we can more accurately speculate about how ugly this is going to get.

 

[Grahame]

Rowan Jones?

Of course. Well spotted. (I believe Masto and even maybe Jetta too?)

 

[Grahame]

No no no. The reality is gonna be far worse than anything our deranged minds can come up with.

Great isn’t it? Having a no excuses off year?

 

[GlennTwenty]

Same fan boys that melt down when waterman isn’t picked, when O’Brien is ridiculed and when Simpson, S&C and nisbett are discussed as being flicked

I woke with a start from my own personal Health & Safety Protocols and knew someone was talking about me and my man Waterman.

I've missed most of the discussion but I agree with whatever you are disagreeing with.

Since I'm here. Happy Birthday to Jake Waterman today - I hope he gets a chance to get out to the Hip E and celebrate properly sometime soon...

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Club has announced Florenca will debut.

Incredible thought process of a elite athlete in this environment.

Not alot of our players look like they have the conditioning of elite athletes at the moment.

 

[ziad]

There is something rotten in our club at the moment.

Players going out is fine. They aren't robots. They need to enjoy themselves.

However players going out when there risk we can have a Covid outbreak AFTER a 100 point thrashing......

Yeah not sure I can get onboard that.

It reeks of selfishness and simply not giving a fu**.

Incredible thought process of a elite athlete in this environment.

First somebody called our list a Ferrari now Nelson and Rotham are elite athletes.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Florenca giving Brander vibes.

Any reason Giro and Old boy Black didn't get another call up?

 

[Goldfish]

Currently on the AFL website our game doesn't even appear:

AFL Team Line-ups - AFL.com.au

All AFL team line ups including ins, outs, late changes, new players and milestones for the current Toyota AFL Premiership Season.

www.afl.com.au

I'm sure it will update but I found it funny.

EDIT: and it's now up.

Callum Jameison out of no where.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Jamieson over Dixon?

Wow

Apart from that it's not as bad as I was fearing.

 

[DickDunn]

HEdwards over Huge Dixon in the ruck is a strange one. Is Dixon not fit or something?

Edit: Missed Jamieson also being named

 

[Shuestar13]

Good team, very good. We’ll win by about 45

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Winder in the 22 for the first time.

Surely Mountford is the sub.

Wouldn’t mind Schumacher for Rotham (soreness/kicked arse) as a late change.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Actually doesn't look that bad on paper tbh

Interested to see Harry ruck

 

[KBLT]

Jamieson over Dixon is interesting

 

[bzparkes]

Winder's dad will be happy at least.

 

[Spooky17]

JAMIESON OVER DIXON?!?!?! WHAT?!?!

 

[bzparkes]

Jamieson over Dixon is interesting

Clearly Dixon isn't on Simmo's Knight's BBQ invite list.
