Prediction Round 10, 2025: Changes vs Euro-Yroke

[Cuzz09]

Keen to see the guernsey, reckon it'll look noice

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Did alright vs Melbourne

2024 win rate:

Waalitj Marawar: 50%
West Coast Eagles: 19%

Speaks for itself.

If we lose this week (versus Euro-Yroke no less) it’ll be because of a temporary name change.

 

[Cuzz09]

why not change our name every week?

They always look nice.

They also always cost 2x more than they should.

yeah true but I just meant out in the contest.

I thought we looked tougher in that old 1995 navy blue one last year and we performed well, pushed Sydbey and beat GC

We will never be able to afford that plane with all these expensive jumpers.

 

[FKASC]

Anyone else think Sinclair could go big this week?

He’s the one

 

[BSD]

Brockman fined for his jumper punch on Trainor, free to play.

I'd like to see Hall in and perhaps Duggan in the midfield a bit and have those 2 absolutely shitmix Windhanger at every given opportunity so that Harley can get off the chain and shove a big up yours at Ross the Toss. Just bash him, give him something else to think about rather than scragging a 19 year old.

Hall has had his chance, needs to work on his disposals by hand and foot in the WAFL.
I'd be tempted to give Grecco and Shanahan a go before much longer.

He doesn't need good disposal to knock out Windhangers teeth mate. He is a big body who likes to throw his weight around so I wouldn't mind seeing him in as an enforcer. Doubt it happens though.

 

[KERRPOW]

Every time we think we are a chance we will get spanked.

 

[RookiePick]

Every time we think we are a chance we will get spanked.

Well to be fair I only really thought we had a chance against Essendon and Richmond and we're a combined 4 points in the hole.

Saints...hopefully we can keep it inside 5 goals. I'm not expecting a win at all.

 

[EagleEyeYeo]

The changes this week will be interesting. I along with everyone hated the dual ruck thing but it was far from a disaster. I'd imagine they will stick with it this week vs Marshall but I'm not convinced it's a long term play. Would much rather J.Williams take one of those spots.
O.Allen and Gov are both automatic inclusions this week if fit. I would have A.Reid and Brock make way for them. (Full disclosure, I would actually rather Jilliams in then Allen at the moment, but that won't happen)

The midfield mix is where it gets really hard. If Gross plays a full game (fingers crossed) it needs to be in his natural position. Likewise if B.Allan and/or Hall were to come in we would probably want then playing there also. But based on our centre bounce mix this week of Hough, Hewett, Harley, Graham, Ryan and Brockman who gets pushed out? It was probably our best mix all season (all be it against Richmond)

If we're a chance we need to stop Wanganeen-Milera's run off half back but I'm just not sure who we have that can do that forward tag. Do we give Kelly the job? Im not very confident he could do it but hey, be accountable or gtfo

Aaaand after all that I'm still no closer to knowing what changes to make. Just give Gross a full game in the middle and someone please hit Windhager hard!! (But legally of course)

 

[DanWCE]

Wouldn't mind Harley going one out in the cage if he cops a hard tag from the first bounce. We're getting some supply finally so clear out the 50 and let him cook.

nah but Bock & Gunston will run amok

These two are match winners - You’d think opposition would have worked them out by now.

Training notes from today

EAGLES TRAINING NOTES: Stars on mend, Gross in good spirits

A pair of Waalitj Marawar (West Coast) stars made strides towards their injury returns, while it was back to business for two emerging Eagles. Here’s what we saw at training on Tuesday.

Gov looks like coming out of protocols on time, Allen trained with no strapping on his knee, no Duggan or Waterman.

We live and learn...

You would have to say thats absolute garbage. De-registration of Dr stuff.

 

[Elite Pete]

Gov TBC but article is saying he won’t be playing this week……

“Jeremy is still in concussion protocols and won’t be available this weekend.”

Elite pick but he is looks quite slightly built on the WAFL telecast. That said he does look like he’ll have a solid frame to build on in the years to come.
