Key match ups vs Eagles

[Leslie_Chow]

Mcpharlin vs Kennedy
Grover vs Le Cras
Silvagni vs Lynch

Broughton vs Priddis
Clark vs Natanui

De boer vs Hurn

Who else?

 

[Seppo]

Noone on Fyfe

 

[Tweedy]

Noone on Fyfe

I'd rather they double teamed him. He'll beat them with ease, and it frees up another player.

 

[Tommo]

Noone on Fyfe

They might get Embly to keep an eye on him, he seems to love roughing up young blokes.
Then again he'll need to keep his other eye on the look out for McPhee

 

[Freo_4eva]

Mcpharlin vs Kennedy
Grover vs Le Cras
Silvagni vs Lynch

Broughton vs Priddis
Clark vs Natanui

De boer vs Hurn

Who else?

Yeah thats pretty much what i would go in with... Other than Hurn no one else i would really have a run with player.. You could argue that the saints tagginn Embley last week was a good idea, but that would mean bringing back a Crowley or JVB which is never good

Ibbotson on Darling the other defensive match-up.

 

[prattsta]

Someone needs to limit Embley's influence. One of De Boer or McPhee should probably get the job.

EDIT: Having seen McPhee block, scrag, shepherd and just be a general nuisance around stoppages for us last week, I'd probably give him the role.

How do you stop Fyfe? With his superior judgement of the drop of the footy he's always there first. At least with burst players like Judd you can put yourself between him and the goals to give yourself some chance of nullifying him but Fyfe has that Hird-like 360 degree movement / Teleportation mad skillz. All I can think of would be Crowley on Ablett style circa 2007/8. Follow him round with your arms already circled around him for the tackle.

 

[Drapatch]

Ballas vs The Umps

He either gets ample love as he did against the swans or they punish him and not pay anything

Mchpee vs Any wiggle stupid enough to get in his way

Where's Staker when you need him?

yeah forgot about McPhee.. not sure if he'd have the running power to go with Embley for the entire match, but def. worth the go first up

Yep I hope McPhee consumes alot of angry pills, prior to bounce down.

 

[electricfeel]

Embley will probably try to knee Fyfe in the head or something.

McPhee on Embley is a good match up. De Boer on Priddis? Priddis is their dominant midfielder so it'd be good to shut him down.

That would be something to see. I doubt the seagull (goose) has ever had any real attention his whole life.

On another note. How good is Harvey at the presser. Talk about talking about being cryptic he is moving to his own level of trash talk.

If we win a granny under his watch we could have ready made highlights package that could rival Sheedy..

 

[malpaso]

I'd rather this:

Lower > Priddis - Lower will make Priddis work for every possie and he's tough as nails. Frees up Broughts who I think is more creative than Lower.

DeBoer > Embley - The Pig will be all over Embley and Embley hates that.

McPhee > Hurn - Means Hurn will have to do some defensive work as McPhee can lead and is genuine threat to kick goals

I agree with this but if lower can't limit Priddis' influence then we have Broughton to do the job

Mzungu on Embley. Reckon it's a waste to have our best tagger (DeBoer) set up against Embley. Dunno why, but I still struggle to rate the guy.

Barlow head to head with Priddis. McPhee on Kerr. If McPhee got Judd to explode, imagine what Kerr will try to do to him.

Would have said DeBoer on Kerr, but matching him up against Hurn will hurt the Weagles more than having him shut down Kerr. And McPhee will antagonise the living sh*t out of Kerr.

One thing to be aware of... can't ever have Pav and McPhee at the same stoppage, or they'd never be able to bend down and pick the ball up off the ground. Clarke is better below his knees than those blokes.

EDIT: And having DeBoer in the forward line really adds a lot to our forward pressure. He's also been adding a lot to the structure, providing scoring assists etc. Reckon the forward line is the best spot for DeBoer (negating their best rebounder) unless the opposition have a mid like Judd or Ablett, in which case he's better off shutting them down.

Kerr isn't playing.

 

[Scham]

Crowley will get Priddis

 

[strobe00]

Made my day! Should have read the teams list a bit more closely. Was actually a bit worried that McPhee wouldn't have quite been the right matchup for Kerr.

Had said earlier that a McPhee/Darling match up would be perfect, but as Darling has had a few quiet weeks not as worried about him.

Would rather McPhee on Priddis. Keeps him around the stoppages... and as Prattsta has said... scragging and shepherding. And belting around their best clearance mid. Shut Priddis down, then we're a long way to shutting down their clearances so long as Paddy Wack and Cox are contained.

 

[strobe00]

Crowley will get Priddis

Will be sh@t if you're right. While DeBoer and McPhee are healthy Crowley should be playing WAFL.

McPhee could easily do the job on Priddis, and adds a lot more around the stoppages.

 

[dominguez]

Could Rhys get the job on Priddis? Palmer played well on Lke Power about a month ago then got smoked on pace by Ablett but that won't be an issue with Priddis.

There's am idea. Might teach him a thing or two too.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Grover on Le Cras? We're doomed. Le Cras would rung rings around him

 

[Clay Davis]

I hope we play Brades new lover, Ibbotson, on Lecras. He did such a good job on Rioli.

 

[Pusswah]

Yeah i'd have thought it would be McPharlin/Grover/Silvagni on Kennedy/Darling/Lynch, Ibbotson on LeCras.

McPhee to sort out Hurn or Embley.

 

[Clay Davis]

IMO, Lecras will play more up midfield. Kerr is out, and they have been grooming him more for that role anyway. So we probably just need to check him around their forward 50 stoppages, which could be Hill or Fyfe guarding him.
