Prediction Round 4, 2023: Changes vs Melbourne

[DanWCE]

Would be fair to see how Xon goes playing Shuey's role. That doesnt happen often.

Start Yeo at half back and get him to play that 5th midfielder sweeper, Shuey was brilliant at it.

Our centre set up will be interesting.

1st Williams, Clark, Ginbey, Kelly

Rotations - Rotham, Culley, West, Xon

If there was ever a game to not play Gaff on ball its this one.

But we will.

If its 10 changes so be it. The boys who played a full game would be sore so lets get fresh legs and energy out there.

What about JJ in the spitter role? Has pace, good in traffic.

Huge fan of us bringing the spitter back btw.

LeCras was a gun at it back in the day

Lecca was a gun in general I must say

Fractured throat…is that even a thing? Eagles finding new and creative ways to get injured.

Embley copped it in late 06 and missed the qualifying final. Could hardly talk when he did his Norm Smith acceptance speach

 

[Rowan18]

Yeo named straight in the middle instead of getting a run in the WAFL first. Good to see these guys learned literally nothing from how they handled him last year.

And in 2021 when he came straight in after the bye and we got flogges by the Dogs. Never recovered and missed finals

 

[Rowan18]

I reckon there are worse than her. The big problem she has is she hardly pays frees at all so her mistakes are limited to mainly non calls. Some of the others just guess and mostly guess wrong.

Yes, there are worse, but she still is not at an acceptable level. Let's not beat around the bush, she got the job because she was a chick.

 

[Rowan18]

I think we can win this one now Brown is out. I don't mind the look of the team other than the HFF. We're going to need our tall forwards to kick us to victory.

Yep, Brown the only thing holding WCE back from defeating Melbourne.

And why did the worse umpires get the job?

 

[Avalor]

Lowest ranked game, so we get the very worst of the umps. Bottom of the pile stuff.

She is garbage no doubt about it. They went with 4 umpires so they didn’t have to sack her…

But we haven’t quite got the total trash umpires considering Stevic has done the last 9 grand finals.

I miss the days when we would rage over no changes being made because the incumbents were holding back the kids

Actually miss Priddas durability

 

[Eagle Wrath]

SPS not named on field after his great form of late is not a promising sign that he's fully fit

Ah well... get us the win, Rubes!

JJ was named on the bench last week and started in the HB area. I dont take any notice of the named positions anymore.

Situation a bit different now though isn't it?

That might be a bit of a stretch.

No I was asking if she gets a gig because "she's a chick" why do the non-chick worse umpires get one?

 

[Godfather32]

Half the problem with Eleni is that you'd notice the bad decisions a hell of a lot less (like with most of the other umpires) if she wasn't mic'd up all the time. If you notice during the game they only seem to mic up her and the big character umpires like razor ray, the rest are largely anonymous and most of the time you don't even know who's made the decision.

 

[EaglesVille]

Can someone explain how Foley is able to be picked with a wafl suspension?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Just so the worst umpire isn’t the chick one, obviously.

 

[new breed]

Special excemption because Eagles are short of players ....

April Fools last week , i know !

 

[Lazzas]

Can someone explain how Foley is able to be picked with a wafl suspension?

"Foley had copped a one-match ban during a WAFL practice match last month.

The club confirmed to The West that Foley was eligible for AFL selection after not being available for round three. He remains ineligible for WAFL selection."

Clear as mud from the West

 

[Rowan18]

Nah, I think he would benefit with a few games in the WAFL to get to full fitness.
