at Optus Oval on Sunday. Both come into this fixture with outstanding form and the Eagles have been the surprise of season 2018. They were missing 7 first choice players on Saturday including influential big man and ruckman Nick Natanui, star backman Jeremey McGovern and quick mids Shuey and Sheed. Jetta off the half back was also an absentee. Big scalp at Spotless vs the Giants which will give them much added belief when they return home to take on the reigning premiers Richmond. I'd like to see who will come back into the team for West Coast as I believe Shuey is facing a stint on the sidelines so he will be out.
The Tigers will no doubt want to make a statement on the road and look to stake their claim as the best team in the comp with a big away win. Then again if they were to lose it is a road game against a formidable team at a formidable venue so how much will it really tell us at this time of the year. It's all about what you do in Septemeber at the MCG. Not what you do in May. Nonetheless will be a confidence booster for whoever wins it.
Predictions? Thoughts?
