Preview Marsh Series 1: West Coast vs Essendon, Mineral Resources Park, Thursday 27/02/20 @ 7:40PM

Is it confirmed it will be moved?
Also you’d think WCoast will field lots of players in the state of origin clash where as we will not have many if any players (ZMerrett maybe?) Regardless we should now have a much stronger squad for this pre season game...

Players are capped at 3 per club for the SoO game, so it’ll basically just be removing 2-3 of our best players and 2-3 of theirs.

of all the half baked hare-brained schemes gil has come up with, having this SOO match is certainly one of them.

Seems to be confirmed from that article. Mock team on AFL site has Saad, Hurley and Merrett in the team but who knows if that will be the case. Probably will depend a bit who the clubs want to let play I guess...

 

[Beerfish]

Sounds like a great opportunity for the new draftees to me.

Yep.

If Hepp was willing to lose the hair, then a few players from each club running around for a couple hours really isn't asking too much .

No issues with Gil on this one.

[Doss]

Minerals Resources Park! There's an organic and not at all corporate themed name, I love it.

Technically inorganic actually.

Well maybe I will

 

[eth-dog]

Players I would like to see feature in this match (if fit):

Defence: McBride, McQuillan, BZT, Francis, Ridley
Midfield: Clarke, Mutch, Cutler, Snelling, Smith, Ham, Bryan
Forward: Jones, Stewart, Fantasia, Mosquito, Cahill

I think there's 8 on the bench? Either way, just hoping for a good showing.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Is anyone else absolutely chomping at the bit to see some Footy? I've been so bored lately that I've almost contemplated going outside.

....almost.

Not really. I'm pretty happy with the cricket.

Not really. I'm pretty happy with the cricket.

Cricket doesn't do it for me anymore, although I have been enjoying the NBA.

Still though, Footy trumps all imo.

 

[vass44]

At least we are getting closer to this- I do agree though cricket has been OK - but much prefer AFL

Yes, yes it has...

Yes, yes it has...

I know you're happy, but it's been boring as hell

 

[Stopher]

I know you're happy, but it's been boring as hell

I reckon I heard the same thing from opposition fans around the year 2000 as well...

You're telling me....I had to go on a business trip to India with 3 QLDers and a Kiwi last week....footy was pretty low on any sports related discussions.

EDIT: AND a New South Welshman now that I recall. Far out.

 

[Bombers36]

We are getting close to this now....but I think we will be a fair way from a full strength team. Hoping for something like;-

Francis Ambrsoe Saad
Gleeson Margaret Fanta
Cutrler Shiel MgGrath
Townsend Laverde Smith
McKernan Stringer Snelling

Phillips Parish Merrett

Bench from: Guelfi Ham Clarke Begley Jones Redman Langford Ridley

Comon Dons!

 

[Bombers36]

Whoops forgot - Saad wont play because he's playing for the Big V the following night. How good is next week going to be - this game Thursday night followed by the state of origin on the Friday - great to have footy back!

 

[vass44]

WCoast only have Shepard committed for State of Origin duties so you’d think they’ll field a pretty strong side - this could get ugly...

I've had my mandatory time away from the game and I'm getting jazzed for it again.

Pretty keen to see my boy Harry Jones kick 10.
In the first quarter.
