Can you guys lend us a J Carr for the weekend?

 

[Eagles 4 Mine]

Hopefully they all get up. I want us to be playing the best available. Our first true test against a real premiership contender on a relatively neutral venue (well more neutral than Subi).

This should be a very good game considering they've both come off losses.

You have got to be kidding mate you will crush us just come out and harass , get into our heads and you'll be right.

 

[Event Horizon]

I hope Chick plays. Don't rate him.
No better time to play WC, no excuse if we lose next week.

What makes you say that?
They'd probably be thinking the same thing - no better time to play North.
We have Sansbury, Brown and Green in the side, and have Swallow who got -11 in Herald Sun player rankings, with nothing coming through from the VFL.

Thank God for Arch.

Judd is sore, Cousins was physiclaly buffeted and they are coming off a energy sapping derby - a match which often sees both sides flat as tacks the next week.
We have a big opportunity.

Judd is not fit and probably shouldn't be playing at all. I was sure I heard over there that some doctor said unless they give Judd about a 6 week break they're going to pay for it later on. Can you confirm that Scotty? I'm sure I heard that somewhere.

 

[Bozz.Clunker.H]

get hale to come off chf at the bounce and take out one of theire midfielders like he did to selwood...preferably cousins

Yeh i heard that too. Even Dr Peter Larkins said it on SFS a couple weeks back.

 

[bellzy]

Fact of the matter is, as long as West Coast arn't top four definants, they will play Judd.

Besides, it's only fair both teams play with 21. We play Brown afterall...

That was a neat 'how-do-you-do' by Haley. I thought Selwood done his shoulder but fortunately for him, didn't. I don't have rage at Cousins like much of the footy public seems to have...I have rage at the constant AFL incompetance. Only a handful of journos have had a dig at the AFL including Damien Barrett who has been munching the same angry pills as moi.

lol yeh neither do i, however i thnk that hes a star and would be handy taking him out early lol

Interesting comments here greg. Brown = extreme limitations but you're spot on...and boy, alot of ppl know it. Still think all the media good passing comments (Healy) on Brown are a complete FARCE....they are not geniune. Healy is a JOKER. Make No mistake.

Green is one of dozen so players pushing for those last 3 OPEN spots on our BEST team IMHO and #16 is also part of that dime o' dozen.

Edwards... Beautifully said. I still think his LINKMAN role is his best position-role.

Whyman....Spot on greg. I knew Don McDonald's pre-season WHOO-HA hype about him was was OVER the top... and I was appaulled at that also!

And lastly but not least, Mr Bigglesworth. Is definately on his last roll of the dice...has showed something in the last two weeks and it's all up to him to continue his good form. Seems to be playing a different role than that wasted defensive tagger role. One of the dozen fighting like a feral cat for those last 3 spots.

In summary...we are severely missing FLASH Campbell's CHASING & 1%er plays in the forward line.

Woody

I agree with your comments on Flash, he's our Rhan Hooper albeit a fair bit lighter.

 

[Woodson]

No injury concerns will stop WCE playing thier best footy against us. If they are flat, I'll be mightly peeved off if we stuff our chances coz I truly believe teams like WCE do not lie down for a full 4 quarters. Only a fool would think that. The Swans likewise. And we all know how that game turned on it's head when North had thier weekly power nap.

 

[West Coast 06]

Chick is out with a fractured larynx.

Judd will play, was down a bit this week, but the previous two weeks was OK. (OK for Judd = good for everyone else)

Traditionally the winner of the derby loses the next week, and the loser has a big win. Heres to keeping up traditions!

WCE smashed the Blues the week after the last derby (R3) , so that 'traditional' theory blown out of the water for this year.

Second visit to TD for WCE this season. Last visit was a 1 pt loss to Ess. R11.
Coincedentally, a week after WCE wiped the floor with North in the final quarter in which North rebounded with a solid team performance vs the Saints in R11. Make out what you will. I like the verticle blue & white stripes in this one.

Sorry, I meant Freo traditionally lose after they win a Derby and win after they have lost. Our record is pretty good after, win or lose.

Its actually our third visit to the TD, we played the Doggies there two weeks ago, 87 point win.

It will be a lot closer than our earlier encounter, that I dont doubt. We now have a couple of injury worries apparently with Chick out and Waters out. Would have been alright as Nicoski blitzed in the WAFL last week and should have slotted straight back in but apparently there is a question mark over him as well.

I am hoping that the fact that North have been training since last October and have travelled the last three out of four weeks will give us a chance of winning this one due to them getting tired. Both teams need the win though so it should be a great game.

Totally forgot about the Vick job on the Doggies. (sic).

Considering that the crowd will be right behind North, the HIGH STAKES on the line and don't overlook the 'rest' many of the North players had last week, (sic), we'll be right up to the challenge. Add Arch to the mix and the WCE better bring thier 'A game' to stand any kind of chance. Getting a few of your stars fustrated will be the key. JYD knows how to set gameplans to 'control the tempo' unlike the sick lost skinny puppies.

 

[Quinz]

Chick is pretty much a certain out at this stage. Cousins and Judd a bit sore but I would expect both of them to play.

If we bring our "A" game, I wont be worried, we will win. The thing is we have seen little of it this year. Its more if we can win with our B+ game!

The crowd wont be as one sided as you think either, we have got a good membership base in Victoria these days. There was a lot of support for us at the Doggies game.

 

[Obeanie1]

I expect Chad Fletch, Mat Rosa and Mark Nicoski to come into the team to give us fresh legs, wouldn't be surprised to see Judd out.

Chick out and I expect a couple of other players won't get up or will be dropped, no surprise there.

At the moment we have lost 4 out of our last 5 home games so more than happy to play at the Dome. Will be a good game with a big prize. If WCE win and so do Port and Hawks we will all be on 48 points.

Hat off to you Roos though you've had a great year so far and deserve a top four finish. Have played consistent team footy, we've been all over the place.

 

[HongKongRoo]

This game will give us a better indication of where we are. Beat the Weagles and we are serious contenders.

Swallow really looked like a kid out there last week, he's got some growing up to do. Good players play well whatever the scoreboard says, whatever is happening on the field. I wonder if he has stage fright coming up against the power teams, he seems to be in awe of the premier midfielders like Weagles, Lions and Port, seems to be a different player. He has to realise he can smash them, run with them, hurt them just as easily as they can to him.

Delivery into the forward line was just terrible so it's pretty hard to draw a line through our forwards. Edwards, Hale, Shagga and Jones had little to mark and Djars wasn't looked for. Eddie played a serviceable game up forward.

Not enough protection in the midfield for our players and so many clangers that we didn't have enough time to scramble a defense against brown.

Psychologically we need to beat the weagles this week. They had a heap of players out last time we played them and we just rolled over for them. Man for man we need to start our run for the finals now.

Anything is possible.
