Not looking forward to this...

Oh god. An away game. Beers ready.

Reckon this will tight. Could be a bit of shoot out. Great day for footy here in Sydney.

Same here.

I'm bloody nervous about this one.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

lol no.

Giants by plenty.

Getting in early to make last year's grand finalist, a team who's closest win against GWS is 81 points, with an average winning margin of 95, who last time they played on this ground won by a hundred, the underdog.

There is a massive difference between the GWS and WCE of 2015 and 2016. You are strong favourites with the bookies and deservedly so.

Can only hope the 2016 GWS vs Collingwood turns up for us to stand a chance, and not the 2016 GWS vs Hawthorn.

 

[ep2018]

Only chance of winning is if GWS have demons from all the smackings we've given them.

Don't think that will work, we'd never beat anyone if that was an issue. Outplaying us might, hope it's a good game. I confess I'm more ignorant of the Eagles than I should be. Will rectify that this afternoon at spotless. It is a great day for footy.

 

[ioppolo]

GWS by 7 goals.

I dunno your guys look pretty big and bulky in the warmup. Hopefully our usual tactic of run and don't get caught will help.

You guys are really pessimists today. I guess you lot wouldn't have seen many Eagles games to go by

Your right I dont knowyour team well, no lack of.respect intended. Running away worked quite well against the Hawks, for example, earlier in the year though. That was my inference. Just gotta get first hands on the ball for it to work.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Nic Nats gut is bigger than Buddys

 

[Westy Bogan]

Someone told Lecra is on the road

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Dat ball movement from both sides.

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

Crowd looks good, is Kellogs Corn Flakes on special at woolies this week?

 

[yakka man]

Lobb's contested marking is legendary.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Need Patton to do that more often

 

[Smeg Head]

Wow joke rule, zero prior and no point actually going for the ball in that case.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Gaffs kicking really is s**t. As an uncontested player its unacceptable

 

[Red Black and Blue]

That kick from Kennedy!! Would have been close to 70.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Nice goal kicking Eagles. ...

 

[The Joker]

WOW, those hips...
