I think looking at West Coast, we should be going Tall in the forward line. Membrey, King, Marsh, Marshall/Ryder, with Battle floating forward and just playing 2/3 small forwards in Butler/Lonie and Parker.
I don’t see how McGovern and Barrass can cover that many tall options.

It depends if we play smartly or not. If we all stand in a bunch, jumping at the same contest, spoiling each other.... the Eagles talls won't have much to do at all, one of them could cover it alone!

Separation and space is key. And leading patterns as synchronised as the North Korean army.
 
WCE would be smart to manage the list vs us and the dogs. they would drop their last 3 games and would still make the 8 unless their % gets absolutely hammered. their last of the 3 is against north. so if i was the eagles i'd be using the next two matches to freshen up the side. then go for the winnable game vs north as a training run into finals.

They'd still want to finish 5th or 6th though to get a home final.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few rested against the Dogs or us, more likely the Dogs though.

WC will be such an interesting game. I agree that they'll win, but it will be their 3rd game in ten days, whereas we will have had a 'normal' fixture of breaks since the Bris game. Plus the play Dons and Dogs and you'd think each of those would be desperate and perhaps scrappy games since each of those sides still have a chance at the 8.

Yeo and Shuey out will be helpful.
 
Feeling more hopeful that the WC game will be a proper contest and not a steamrolling. EFC look to have a template that worked against them - run off half back with handball chains through the corridor; Bombers probably have a bit more raw pace off half back but Hill, Clark, and Long could do the same (I saw a bit of this from Hill in the Melbourne game and it was good). Bombers ultimately couldn't execute but maybe we can.

WC probably missing Yeo and Shuey for the game as well. We need Carlisle to find form ASAP otherwise Kennedy will kill us; and I'm really not sure who matches up on Ryan.
 
Such massive games in the context of our season tomorrow night.

Looking forward to the games tonight.

After my world is over tone earlier in the week the blind optimism is starting to reappear.

Don't know why I do it to myself.
 
I reckon the Dees won't have a lot of trouble with the Swans. There big test will be Freo off a 4 day break. Longmuire is proving to be a very smart coach.

Got my fingers crossed the Blues actually show some ticker tonight. Giants lose tonight they have to win every game from here out.

Never feel alone, George! Safe to say we all do it to ourselves. Glad the fog has lifted 😉

We should beat the Hawks which means it comes down to us vs GWS for finals in the last game.

Win that and I have us in 7th playing Melbourne. We should account for them 2nd time around.

We only lost to the Lions by a kick in a game where we could not have played much worse...

You'd hope we meet Richmond not geelong in the grand final
