Looking forward to this and really keen to see how we respond to last weeks poor performance. I have said before that being able to stand up and try and climb the mountain again after doing it the previous year is a test of character. This weekend should provide some answers to our intent for the season.
I reckon we will put on a good show and be very disappointed if we don't.
Eagles by 24

 

[Astro7]

Toby and Kelly (?) out is a bonus!
Good weather and no injuries!!!
Killer Eagles please!

 

[SirKarl0s]

No Greene is awesome, he has smashed us a few times. We've got this.

 

[Obeanie1]

No Greene or Kelly so that evens up no Gaff and Cripps.

Need to get a win on the board boys.

 

[FKASC]

Hopefully Nonna Coniglio over-feeds the boys too much pasta and they come out all sluggish

Apperently the Cogs aren't hosting a pasta fiesta for the team this time.

Bodes well for free agency.

Hopefully not for the purples

The travelling group haven't gone to the Conigios for dinner since 2015. Probably tempting to sure up their support this year though.

Game day, bitches.

 

[Biggie]

Can’t wait to see the lads play Eagles footy tonight.

Reckon we’ll win 94-65

 

[Giant Pete]

No Greene, Kelly and Ward. We are going in with 10 defenders. No expectation of winning this one.

Gee forgot about Ward missing.

3 bonafide A graders there, away from home as well.

You’ll fight it out no doubt, I’m confident we can break away late.

I'm curious to see which way the unfurling of the flag goes. It could lift your guys or distract I think. At least there wont be many opposition supporters to get in your way. I hope you enjoy the moment anyway it was hard earned and deserved by your team.

Expect our midfield to be very different from any you've seen. It clicked against the Bombers with De Boer moved there to lead the youngsters and run with Shiel. Takes Shuey today maybe. Big challenge tonight.

Coniglio will probably spend a lot of time at full forward particularly if someone like Hutchings tags him.

We are heavy on backs at first glance. I think it's deliberate to apply pressure on your transition from defence. In my view we can't stop your backs turning the ball over a lot, we have to be bold entering the forward 50 to kick a winning score.

What we couidn't do last year was force a contest between the arcs and interrupt your transition there. Whether we can this year remains to be seen. I did notice the Lions seemed to force the long kick to a contest in the wing a fair bit, and I think that's what we'll be trying to do better this time.

I believe you are rightful favourites but honestly a bit short at $1.45 with the bookies.

It's anyone's guess this game, lots of unknowns from Giants midfield and defensive stack, to which Eagles will rock up tonight?
I doubt WC will be distracted by the flag business, they know they could be 0-2 facing Pies next week at MCG. They'll be after some redemption for the Lions debacle and some pride for Hurn, JK and Masten's milestones. Doesn't guarantee a win, however.
Can our midfield rise to the occasion, will our forwards click with JK back and the Giants defensive pressure, will Oscar get off the leash? Will Masten have a blinder or a clanger?
Will Sheed DOMinate? Will our rucks stand up? What WILL SMITH bring?
.....................................................................and why is Ahchee listed last in emergencies?
A long day awaits.........

 

[FKASC]

Yeah $1.45 is a bit generous. What’s the weather like this evening?

Better than Melbourne’s top of 15° then.

 

[WCErevival]

Just saw Jakovich going for a run. Not sure if he is loosening up for the owls pre-game today

 

[Astro7]

Slightly better than Brisbane!
Tonite about 24 degrees, mostly clear, 5% chance of rain, humidity 36%, wind 15kmh e/se.

 

[omarlittle1]

God i'm nervous about tonight. Come on boys!

 

[wce4premiership]

Not confident with this game (based mostly on last week), no idea how long it will take this team to blow the cobwebs off.

I hope we put up a fight in the middle, I have no queries over JK and Darling's ability to do enough, just need the right delivery.

I hope Smith has a good day by foot and Venables makes some sort of statement.

 

[Biggie]

We got this.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

The mascot has just done a perfect moonsault off the top of the stadium, then Aussie the Eagle landed about a foot from me.

We’re winning this by 10,000 points.

Hats off to GWS for continuing to have the best song in footy.
