Prediction (Plenty of) Changes for Rd 17 vs North

[wc_eagles_since86]

We're sitting 7th so that's where we deserve to sit.
Based on the year so far, we're average although I think we're not playing as well as we can.

There's no time I prefer us to get accepting over a loss.
Especially to a bottom side.

"I think we're not playing as well as we can."

I couldn't agree more. I think what I, and most on here find so frustrating is the fact that we're nowhere near what we're capable of. Hence my strong feelings.
Watching your team degenerate over the season is extremely disheartening, especially with no end in sight and a lack of accountability.

I take your point - but I worry that victories will lead us to become comfortable with mediocrity. My position has been well founded so far.

Also, for next time, let's keep it civil if we disagree man: it's a footy board.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Vardy, Foley and O’Neill lining up in the WAFL today so it looks like two of Ah Chee/Nelson/Petch will come in for Foley and Vardy, with the third of them to be the sub.

A little surprised Foley got dropped.

We're underachieving with our list.
I don't think losses to North and Ade will change anything TBH.

This right here is a major problem. End of story.

Yeah those ins inspire confidence

Team announcement: Six changes for Roos

West Coast has made a number of changes following last round's disappointing loss to Sydney

Huge rocket up the seniors with those outs. Definitely being put under pressure.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

The changes do feel a little bit same-same but at least Foley and Ledwards are getting games I suppose.

…well that’s a bugger.

 

[Goroyals22]

Well at least with Nelson back, Cole with have some competition as to who will fall over the most.

Come in peace fellas, hope you flog the s**t out of Norf, cannot stand them.

Main reason I am here, will Edwards be your Sub? Purely for Fantasy Footy reasons.

Thank you and good luck!

He’s the only emergency not playing in the WAFL game that’s going on currently, so it looks like it

Season gets tighter, selectors get more conservative. Hutchings will come in soon.

 

[DickDunn]

Eight defenders in the 22, cool cool cool

 

[kaiserchief13]

It's almost gotten to the stage where I am hoping for a loss. A loss this week would SURELY mean some untouchables dropped next week, but I would have thought that after last week's game. The club is soft as butter atm

Don't panic just yet. There's still a good chance of a late change of Nelson out for Vardy.
In torrential cyclonic conditions, quick players slow down from fatigue but tall players don't get any shorter!

Rotham and Nelson replacing Witherden and Foley, so it’s no different from lasg

Depends where Duggan plays (possibly on the “red wing”) and whether they use Nelson back or as a tagger.

Don’t mind that bit. Would have much preferred Foley to hold his spot, however.

Dropping Vardy for an extra runner is a good move.

 

[Altum Volantes]

So surprisingly few turned into the standard 6?

Good point

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yeah, dropping Edwards and Foley. That’ll show ‘em.

 

[EagleEgo]

The change is not so much who is playing.
It is a matter of how to motivate the senior players to contest better.

 

[KERRPOW]

I suppose weve got to many injured players to make a statement to senior players.

A good team can and a bad team can‘t.
It is not easy. Somebody has been paid (very well) to do this job.

On merit he has to - no value in rewarding under performers in the WAFL

Connor West tore it up for the unlucky Beagles today.

Connor West tore it up for the unlucky Beagles today.

I hope if/when he comes he doesn't get shunted into a HFF. Rather a Kelly/Shuey/Sheed spend more time at HFF. Probably TK for me as he has the best forward craft of all three.
