Thanks.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not expecting too much today given the heat and the relative strength of Adelaide's squad. Just want an injury-free result with promising signs from our youngsters.

Go lads!

 

[Biggie]

Wow can't believe we're about to have our first hit out today.

Really think we'll get done convincingly but this just does not matter.

Just the warm up people. Just the warm up.

Game day bitches

 

[Tom_Thumb]

What time in WA does the match begin ?

 

[Biggie]

11am

 

[turtleWC]

Excited we finally get a game. But a little concerned about the youngsters will handle the heat.

Edit: 35C should be ok I suppose

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Agreed. The international one I think allows replays much quicker than this. Firefox is currently telling the AFL that I'm located somewhere other than Melbourne and I'm using that service atm and can access replays much quicker, in better quality, and on my laptop rather than phone/tablet.

Price point?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

im assuming the side will look like this

FB Schofield Brown Butler
HB ellis Barrass Sheppard
C Lucas Hutchings Jetta
HF Hill Lamb college
FF Karpany Allen Mcinni
R Giles Yeo Duggan
I Cole Partington Adamson Brophey Snadden Bennell Nelsom

Schoey, butler, shep, yeo, duggan, jetta and ellis will be on restricted duties. Midfield will still be pretty solid with lucas, hutchings, colledge, partington and snadden.

I rekon snadden will be the surprise packet from the game, already been named as a kid thats impressed so far and is physically developed for a 19 year old.

I expect to see both Partington and Cole start and have a big chunk of time. Both have impressed pre-season and will hopefully be the Duggan and Nelson result for 2016.

Really keen to see Lamb and what he can do.

It seems that any team that travels interstate during the NAB is resting their top players for those games and going full strength at home. Obviously a good strategy but not conducive to even contests.

The Crows are playing everyone who's 100% today.

WEST Coast will take on Adelaide with one less player in Sunday's NAB Challenge clash at Unley Oval in South Australia.

Despite the mercury tipped to reach 36 degrees and the AFL invoking its extreme heat policy, the Eagles have decided to play with 25 players rather than the allowable 26.

Reigning club champion Andrew Gaff, Sharrod Wellingham, Jamie Cripps and Andrew McGinnity have stayed home in Perth after being selected in the original 29-man squad.

Recruits Lewis Jetta and Jon Giles will suit up in Eagles colours for the first time, while key defender Mitch Brown makes his competitive return after a knee reconstruction ruined his 2015 campaign.

Draftees Matt Allen, Luke Partington, Tom Cole and Jordan Snadden will all get a run as well.

Adelaide's final team will be confirmed 90 minutes before the opening bounce.

Under the extreme heat policy, the quarters will be reduced to 22 minutes and the players will now have eight-minute breaks at quarter and three-quarter time and 25 minutes at half-time.

Andrew McGinnity, never heard of here. Seriously afl.com lift your game

Why did I commit to a family dim sum catch up at Lizzy Quay at midday!? Rookie mistake..

 

[The Falcon Strike]

We have named 29 players - so 3 will be EMGs and not play

Wouldn't be surpised if that was Gaff, Yeo and Wellingham

Wasn't too far off - just had Yeo different to our new sly recruit Andrew McGinnity.

It does seem odd playing one short in the heat - I would have thought a fringe player like Mcginnity might have been the one to take one for the club.

I fear for our 4th quarter...

Rookie mistake Dan. Weekend schedules should be cleared for footy from February to September and on bye weeks have a binge out on the social schedules. Whats the saying you can choose your friends (footy) but can't choose your family

 

[mad_eagle]

Love to know why we're playing one man short, but I'm sure Simmo has some genius plan in his head.

Not much experience out there today...can't wait to see who stands up

Two immediate family bdays plus my 1st wedding anniversary last week so it has to be done but I thought Id be all clear for the game. Think I got mixed up with the Eastern states bounce down time... You eeeediot Stimpy!

 

[getgaff]

my 1st wedding anniversary last week

Happy 1st wedding anniversary to you and the wiffy Dan. Few more years and you get less for murder #amiright?

You get good brownie points for giving up footy for the wife, better to miss NAB games than the real thing, just make sure she knows what you're giving up and act like the NAB is as important as any game.

Also be thankful you don't have friends like me who book their wedding on GF day......

She is just as annoyed we are missing the footy haha. Proper WCE nut she is

I think we'll go into the game close to full strength. Pyke wants a couple of full games into our best 22 and there is no way he's sending these guys to play in Harvey against freo.

You guys going in with 25 is crazy on a day like today.

Wow, well played sir.
