Preview Round 13 vs eagles Saturday 4:35 in WA after the bye

[amaz199]

Hoping Eagles somehow don't show up but we haven't beaten them there since 2021 and that was with a team vastly more experienced than it is right now.

I'm concerned.

 

[Istanbul Roo]

Given we're the worst team in the comp, a loss of under 30 points would be a good result.

 

[speedy]

Weagle players will be running on 3 legs.
Half decent form, starved of success, stadium packed full of home fans, easy kill in front of them... they might even grow 2 extra legs.

We will concede 100+ and lose by 40+ again.

 

[Event Horizon]

I would bring in Colby, Jy and Hardeman for a start.

Shiels, Lazarro and Ford would be on the chopping block.

No VFL means that the likes of Dawson, George and Harvey might struggle to get their minutes up to show they are ready.

That means Pink might stay in the team for now.

I would bring in Harvey for Pink regardless. Harvey is more of a marking player than a small forward, despite his size. Pink is nearly completely useless up forward as his set shots are awful even if he does get the footy.

My changes would be:

Out: Pink, Duursma, Lazzaro
In: Harvey, Simpkin, McKercher

Needs more Hardeman for Scott

And jy is likely back

I think Scott has suffered due to being played out of position. He is definitely AFL standard, which we don't have an abundance of, but has undoubtedly been poor this season.

 

[The Nostradamus]

2 weeks to prep for this

Out: butcher bailey, shiels, laz and pink
In: Colby, jy, Hardeman and K Dawson

Teakle instead of Dawson in

And to play in his home state first up here

Why does everyone want Ford dropped?

I agree, but he was kind of poor last week. It doesn’t really matter if you are a forward, you can’t get much of the ball and your team is getting flogged. But it does matter how you chase and commit to the contest and I thought he was way off.

He was a little off but there were multiple times I noticed him chasing flat out ... altho the ball seemed to leave our forwardline because of intercept marks and kicking in that game. It wasn't run out of the backline with ease like in the Adelaide game.

We regret to inform you that the WA Day Festival, scheduled to take place this Sunday 2 June and Monday 3 June at Optus Stadium Precinct and Burswood Park, has been cancelled.

Due to the heavy rainfall in the last 48 hours and the forecast of even heavier rains on the way, festival organisers have made the difficult decision to cancel the festival in the interests of public safety.

This decision has been made in conjunction with festival organisers, Burswood Park, Optus Stadium and the State Government.


Need to move our game to Docklands
Player safety

 

[Chadwiko]

Looks like Harley Reid will be suspended so we won't be facing him in WA.

taking screamers, kicking clutch goals and dragging the Saints over the line?

 

[Possession]

Looks like Harley Reid will be suspended so we won't be facing him in WA.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[JGreezy]

It was a 2+ week level tackle, picked him up and slammed him. If he doesn't get a week then it's rigged.

 

[fusion]

Am I the only North supporter piss...d off watching Mason Wood taking screamers, kicking clutch goals and dragging the Saints over the line?

Nah, I'm happy for him. It wasn't his fault he left, but he wasn't getting the best out of himself with us.

 

[Possession]

Bolded is what I'm worried about!

 

[TheKanga]

Yep I feel like the AFL will worm their way out of it.

If it was anyone else 2 weeks for sure.

 

[Marstermind]

It's rigged.

AFL aren't having their poster boy missing the Rising Star. Wilson wasn't concussed, Reid didn't know he'd released the ball, he's a good kid and was off balance himself blah blah blah.

Having said that, it's not a B&F award. It's for the season's most promising youngster and a week suspension doesn't preclude him from being that. Personally I think it's a week. But it shouldn't eliminate him from the award.

Free Corey McKernan.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Nah, I'm happy for him. It wasn't his fault he left, but he wasn't getting the best out of himself with us.

So am I but we weren't getting the best out of him.

Grrrr

 

[kool kangas]

No way out of it. He is out for at least 1week...

 

[RossHenshaw]

No way out of it. He is out for at least 1week...

Can he still win the rising star award with a suspension?

 

[RossHenshaw]

Nah, I'm happy for him. It wasn't his fault he left, but he wasn't getting the best out of himself with us.

Gee … you can put a few on that list …

We’ve been here before - the afl are burning the midnight oil trying to work out how to not suspend him.

There’s been numerous times like Cotchin , hall , Dunkley , hamill getting off suspendable actions to play in granny’s
