Preview Rd 10, WCE vs Saints 4:40pm AEST Optus Stadium

Yeah he's a hard nut who tries hard so he's very likeable. Just a bit too short I reckon, if he was 195cm he'd be the perfect replacement for Doogs but at 188cm and not quick I just don't know what his position is at AFL level.

I see him as a Wilkie/Jweb type. Since his under 18’s he very rarely loses a 1vs1

He's a third tall interceptor who's a bit undersized. Hasn't hurt Sicily or Tom Stewart. just needs to be good enough.

Most glaring difference is the quality of foot skills - which the coaches have been trying for a long time to drill into Gus

 

[True Believer]

If I was going to the game where would be the best area to sit with Sainters away from the feral eagles???

Melbourne

I hope it's been drilled into him that he shouldn't be kicking the ball tomorrow when players like Sinclair and Nas are there.

Pou in and out soft training this morning in Perth. Didn’t stay out for long. Was there any issues at main training this week for anyone who attended?

Assume it’s just the captains run. Just a bit of touch.

 

[thekizzler]

A skilled player who can be swung through the midfield, did some nice things, but didn't dominate any games. Next year may be his big season.

Not that you need any further discrediting

I'm convinced you don't actually watch the Saints.

 

[Atomboy]

Is Boxshall injured? I think he might have a sore ankle. Interesting to see if he plays VFL

He’s in Perth.

 

[dretdx]

is it just me or sinclair last week played way more up the ground and even in the forward line at times? has he had a role change or was it just by chance? With pou being injected more mid, or atleast we hope, would that mean sinclair goes back to a distribution role off half back again or is he more likely to be used in this mid/fwd type split?

is this normal for him, or do we think theres more to it?

It was in the second half when Sinc had some CBAs while Ross was also trying to congest stoppages by bringing a HB and a HF up to stoppage

That's actually great to hear.
The way we seem to have let players just muddle along with the skills they arrive with, or let them deteriorate...
I cry when I watch the dogs play, even when they're no good, lasering passes around. They must've trained differently to us.

 

[The Jack]

I’m betting on a painful, anxious, close grind.

Any weather reports for Perf tomorrow?

Rolled him through the midfield trying to generate something after being smashed in clearances. He occasionally does that but it is a desperation measure usually. His best footy is off HBF.

One of my kids footy coaches was running drills with Bevo and said he does lots of skills training. He said he used one where they used hands only inside a rope cordon. The players had everyone in to and had to move it through traffic and he reckons after a while the players skills were outrageously better. Sounds like he's a really positive empowerment heavy coach. Gets players to play their own games and back themselves.

Bevo is a maniac but I absolutely love him. I'm sad the Richo to Bevo handover never happened.

Imagine if Bevo and Tom Morris worked inside the same 4 walls at Moorabbin?

 

[The Jack]

Going to be a pretty emotional game for the Eagles.

 

[Train12]

Is Boxshall traveling with the team? He is named in the vfl side tomorrow?

Yes. All of the traveling emergencies (Boyd, Box and Schoey) were present at the captains run today in Perth

Hammer seem to be moving ok?

Didn’t see much of hammer but it was a very light on session

 

[beside the seaside]

Win this and we're out of the eight on percentage. It's just such a must win game, no ****ing about Saints just get it done tomorrow.
