Key match ups vs Eagles

[Bad Brain]

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.

F**** Yeah.

I'd also like to see DeBoer and Mcphee to go to Shuey and Hurn (depending on who's in the mid and who's forward).

 

[Scham]

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.

Broughton I'd say.

 

[Bad Brain]

Harvey's said a few times he's going to play Zach on Nic Nat. That's a huge match-up and a massive challenge for Clarke. I'm sure Nic remembers spanking Clarke when they went head-to-head in the WAFL. Zach better have something planned.

 

[Clay Davis]

Broughton I'd say.

Yeah, perfect choice.

Multicultural round should have been this week. Australian of Fijian heritage vs Australian of African-American heritage in the ruck duel.

We have the talls covered in McPharlin-Kennedy, Grover-Lynch and Silvagni-Darling but LeCras is the worry.

I reckon Broughton should just follow him through the midfield and down back. Broughton would get the better of him

 

[electricfeel]

I think Broughton would be a good match up on LeCras as well. Who has previously played on him?

from my memory, the last one to do it effectively was tarrant

Agree with Kaney and yourself (and probably a lot of other folks) that Broughton is probably the best matchup for Lecras but have been resisting the idea as I'd like to have him in the midfield. Suggested that Ibbo get a go first up and move Broughton onto him if he struggled but this triggered mild panic attacks for a couple of generally knowledgeable posters.

Watching the Sydney game again reminded me that Ibbo tends to zone off his man a bit, and can ball watch/not be accountable at times. Against Lecras five minutes of this could turn into two or three goals, so can understand the anxiety.

Then another poster said that Lecras would likely spend a lot of time midfield and go up forward at times. If that is the case, then Broughton would be a perfect match up.

 

[Kaney321]

The fact that Lecras spends so much time in the midfield these days is what makes him such a nice matchup for Broughton. Broughton will beat him in both positions and while we have other players who could run with him through the midfield (which isnt needed anyway) no one will be as effective as Broughts in the backline.

 

[DCFCFAN84]

I would like to see.

McPharlin on Kennedy (Obvious match up)
Broughton on Lecras (broughts can keep up with him and rebound off him)
Silvagni on Darling (will shut him down IMO)
Faulks on Lynch (faulks great close diwn speed will help.)
Grover on Nic Nat/Cox
DeBour on Gaff

Yep broughts to lecras is a great match through the midfield.
With wet conditions forecasted, would you send maca to lecras or maybe suban when lecras goes forward?
De boer to shuey maybe? De boer did a great job at shutting down Martin & trengove I thought.Palmer to priddis is a good one too,as mentioned earlier on.

Still like DeBoer on Hurn and McPhee on Priddis.

Still like DeBoer on Hurn and McPhee on Priddis.

De boer on hurn is a good one.
McPhee to embley.Would love to see McPhee physically hurt embley,deserves it.

Wild prediction time. The Zac-Showbags Bob match-up will be the one people will come to see in a few years. Like Jakovich versus Carey.

 

[splendidham]

Zac is of African-American decent?? I always thought there was a little Kareem Abdul Jabber about him. Got the Afro Samurai look down
