Game Day Round 11, 2025: Waalitj Marawar vs Kuwarna

[CountryLad]

These Kent’s are proper flat track bullies.

If we don’t turn up somewhere near our best it will look like the other night when 583 men lined up for a shot at Annie Knight.

Having said that cmon boys and we get up by 5 points in a thriller.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Dewar as sub. Tex out.

Eagles to win.

 

[stallon]

Tex out - this is just looking better and better

 

[Ochre]

Tex being rested is bizarre, almost like he doesn't want to celebrate Indigenous round for some reason.

Disgusting post. Gladly Tex knows there’s sickos like you out there so has gotten on the front foot with a statement.

 

[SAweagle]

Gross full game

Rising star incoming

 

[UseR2006]

Good to see Gross starting, Dewar as sub is a good call.

 

[Astro7]

Tex was always going to be an out, from a few days ago...augers well.
Pleased Gross is starting..

 

[Boohemian]

Tex KKK Walker out is a good start.

 

[Wosh]

C’MON BOYS MORE OF LAST WEEK PLEASE

I don't know if this is a gripe worth having or not but..

Are you allowed to make a lineup change an hour before the bounce for no other reason than you've just decided to rest a player?

Like tactically there'd be a fair difference in how we'd planned for the game, set up our backline, discussed roles once team sheets were named etc.

Him being out helps us so yeah, it's a small deal, and they could have just said "he hurt himself warming up" and achieved the same result, but I dunno. Given we're the bottom side I highly doubt it's actually them pulling any tactical shenanigans, they've probably just known he was a bit sore and went 'we'll see how he goes' then pulled him out without much thought.

But if we were both good sides, late in the season, competing for finals spots, I'd be more pissed off. They've pulled a tall for a running player. Could we then, 45 minutes before the bounce, 'manage' one of our key backs for a mid emergency? The specific guidelines of what you can and can't do after you've locked your team sheet in feel unclear.

Geez crows compensating for something with that entrance

You can do whatever you want, but I think you have to pay a fine? Or is that only if you bring in someone not named as an emergency?

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

hope we can play well and it's a good game.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

As long as we are competitive and we see good signs from the young guys, then anything else is a bonus.

Geelong do it every week

Geelong probably do a lot of dodgy things every week.

Not named as an emergency without a special exemption (Pies got one yesterday).

It’s just an odd mind game/tactic teams can use, I don’t think there’s any combating it and also think you can wind up overthinking things too much so just one of those things that is and will stay part of the game.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Ok but real talk, Crows are one of the great modern flat trackers this year, they’ve shown they’ll gladly put zero effort into defending and win 160-100 so we do need to dig in early otherwise they’ll just pull any semblance of defensive structure and go for a record.

Well, as far as I'm concerned it's probably only the difference between Oscar playing either back or forward today.

“In Bunbury in a few weeks, so a bit of a free kick for the Eagles”.

How about you **** right off Dwayne?

 

[Godfather32]

Tanks are built pre-season - only maintained in season

Yeah sure....so Harley is just maintaining the tank he had in round 1?

 

[jdisc]

tex saw indigenous culture being celebrated and ran out of the changerooms

 

[Goroyals22]

Anyone wanting alternate commentary today the corn is doing the game on sen…. He just said he hopes the game isn’t over by quarter time

 

[Coasters7]

Late outs for “management” is crazy. They’d have known all week he wasn’t playing
