Preview Round 11: West Coast vs Essendon, Perth Stadium, Saturday 29/05/2021 @ 7:40 AEST

All clear

 

[Don Won]

We will have to follow the Vic guidelines even if we’re in Perth, won’t we?

Only if the AFL mandate it. At this stage there are no WA rules to say they have to stay longer than a negative result (unless they class marvel as an exposure site)

 

[JT_the_Man]

I assume this will become the channel 7 game after the postponement of the Gold Coast vs Hawthorn game.

Wait, it wasn’t already?

Would think channel 7 would see West Coast/Essendon as more appealing than GC/Hawkes.

No it wasn't. GC vs Hawthorn is still the channel 7 game now that it moved to the SCG.

Odd decision.

 

[Megabattimus]

Odd decision.

Presumably it's because the game was originally gonna be in Darwin.

Stringer for Jones (managed) according to AFL app.

no ambrose makes me sad

 

[Kyptastic]

Yeo in for West Coast

 

[Ambrosia]

Worried about Stringer returning after 2 weeks from a hammy.

 

[eth-dog]

I suspect Oscar Allen will play defence for them with Edwards out.

 

[andleanback]

Great call resting Jones. Big call to play stringer, will be massive egg on face if he re injures himself.

did HJ travel to perth? seems a dumb way to manage someone.

not having a go at you, unless you were somehow involved in the decision making process, in which case - really? really JT - what the * were you thinking?

He traveled. We most likely play 2 games over there, hence 29 players travelled.

We might stay away from Melb for a while, in which case could be a good move

Probably good from a team bonding thing to have the 29 or whatever it is away together. Probably 2 games over there, less distractions, probably better being out of Melb. Subject to whatever happens with COVID and scheduling, they can take some time after the Richmond match for a break and head back to Melb after that and get ready to smash the Hawkes. If they win 1 of the 2 matches, would feel pretty good about all that.

Well you see my thinking was that there is a possibility of further lockdown in Victoria, in which case I wanted to get him out of the state so he can play next week and kick 10 against Richmond.

yep, very good points everyone. Thanks for not being dicks about it . Nice thinking JT_the_Man

Presumably we brought him back early 'cause they brought Yeo in for this game.

HJ's was founded in WA.

HJ's was founded in WA.

wow - its true:

HJ's founded 19 June 1971, 49 years ago

surprised no one had an HJ before the 70s

Might be Ham again, though I wouldn't mind Ambrose as the sub this week. Be a good "in case of emergency, break glass" option if Stringer goes down during the game.

You can go to the lol norf board for that.
