Game Day West Coast Eagles vs. St. Kilda - The Perfect Ten?

[Freight Train]

WEST COAST EAGLES vs. ST KILDA

- SIR DOUG NICHOLLS INDIGENOUS ROUND -

OPTUS STADIUM, PERTH
SATURDAY, 2nd OF JUNE 2018

WCE - 1st, 9-1-0
STK - 16th, 1-8-1

***

Can the Eagles make it ten in a row? Yes.

Will the perfect balance of tall timber and smaller forwards all working at the top of the game completely outclass the lacklustre Saints defence? Yes.

Did Jake Carlisle make a good decision by skipping the trip west and knocking out Jack Riewoldt at the same time? Yes.

Can Jeremy McGovern get his head straight and make up for last week's effort? Hopefully.

Will Lewis Jetta actually show up and do something this game? Maybe.

Can Freight Train survive taking his missus, who is a Saints fan, to the game? Probably not, no.

***

I'm honestly quite sorry for this preview - it's quite lacking, I know, but really I don't think there's too much to say about this one. The Eagles are the real deal, and the Saints just haven't gotten their shit together this season. Perhaps the Saints can pull off a miracle, but almost every contest, every matchup goes in the favour of West Coast.

Prediction (in the voice of Dennis Cometti, AFL Live 2004): It'll be... THE EAGLES... by more than ten goals.

Freight Train have you done a modern day version of the saints pure jumper?

How appropriate.

How appropriate.

We can laugh, but Hayes needs a hard tag. Stenglein?

 

[Candiru]

How appropriate.

If/when we win, I’ll have to Photoshop our own version...

Ahahaha same. I wasn't allowed a playstation/x-box as kid so this was one of the few game i had on a pc. Would come home after school on a friday, chuck my back where ever and jump on the PC and play this for hours.

Actually found this game again in 09 while cleaning up and i played for a while again.

 

[avishka5]

Really looking forward to these match ups.

Best poll.
I can hear the disjointed commentary perfectly.

 

[DJMac]

Be good to hear Riewoldt commentating on a big Saints loss.

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

How appropriate.

When I saw the title, I was hoping for a Tye Dillenger gif.

Was not disappointed.

They’re capable of it, and who knows how long the window lasts for?

Why settle for less if they’re capable of more.
