I have no idea what this thread is about, but it's a pleasant distraction from all the other distractions...

Hurt it on Ginnivan's bill.

I mean, what do you stand for? What's your brand? At some point you'll need to look around at others on this board and ask "who's coming with me?"

 

[Wight Wolf]

Eagles are going win on Saturday lads

Tell me – who's actually buying into this? At what point do we all get a lick of the ice cream?

Let the Cobbler's do the Cobbling is a big out for them.

 

[DanWCE]

Allens 100th game
Allans the 300th debutant

Eagles win by 400 confirmed.

Run those numbers for me. It's gonna be a FLAT TRACK!

Hope the trainer is aware of our penchant to shit the bed in milestone events. Aussie a good chance to let loose on the crowd with some quality divebombs.

Fingers crossed that he is an out.

 

[We_The_West]

If we bring the pressure like we did against the Bombers, we are in for a chance.

Good luck to Matt Flynn, he's got a big job ahead of him.

Possibility for a bit of a rain to hang around. Should be a test for our already exquisite skills.

is the difference between us winning and losing, I’m not looking forward to seeing the hit out to advantage differential, if we do win it will be a Herculean effort. I’m hopeful but not expecting.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Oliver out is massive. He’s not had his greatest year but he’s their best clearance player by a mile.

Not beyond realms of possibility we get up this week

His clearances have usually involved blindly bombing it long to the oppositions defenders though.

 

[Astro7]

Interested to see any late changes. If Duggan isn't a late out, you could argue this selection has gone for a strong midfield presence on rotation. Allan has some speed at least and Ginbeast might roll through the guts with Hewett.

Feel like something's up after last week. Coach has some inside knowledge on Melb, albeit a changed game style now.
50K vocal fans, Saturday night game, got a feeling we could get up for this one (bad umpiring aside)
Probably dreamin'...

Probably good as it lowers the oppo skill level and turns into a slog.

 

[DanWCE]

Doesn't look like too much chance of playing in rain but I'm fully expecting the boys to wear the wrong boots and slip over on wet grass all game just to add to the comedy.

 

[footylover18]

Any clues on whether they decide to stick with Hough in the midfield this week?
