Preview Round 18 v West Coast Optus Stadium Sunday July 16 4.40pm

[TigerImposter]

Debut Tresize

What happened to Noah?

 

[TigerImposter]

Me too. We're competing with Geelong, Sydney, and Carlton for percentage. Carlton smacked West Coast by 102 points in Perth and will probably do it again next week at Marvel.

We need to get percentage and I'm not waiting for it to be North Melbourne (we're basically their Grand Final). So we probably have to get it over the next two weeks against West Coast and Hawthorn.

Even better if we go undefeated for the rest of the season

What happened to Noah?

In the forward line where else?

 

[biaseddustyfan]

Lets face it, we're all shitting bricks hoping we dont loose this

will be one of those log off bigfooty for 24hrs kinda days if we manage to loose this

 

[biaseddustyfan]

out nank bauer
in soldo mansell

can't afford to rest anyone, we need to win this by 200+

 

[_RT_]

Agree with those ins/outs RT

…I think we might add Prestia as a managed out

In: Soldo Mansell Ross comes into 22 …

most likely Juddy comes in to run up and down the big WA ground….or .one of (Tresize or Dow) who were both rated highly going off the RFC vfl report….



Thomson Dow (30 disposals, 18 contested possessions, 11 clearances, one goal)

"Had an outstanding game. Led all players with 11 clearances and was instrumental for us in and around stoppage. It was good to see him hit the scoreboard also."

James Trezise (22 disposals, six marks, five rebound-50s)

"Also outstanding. He won the ball back for us a dozen times off the opposition, and for most of the day, he used the ball very well. He's in very good form and he's ready if an opportunity presents itself."


but not these…

Tyler Sonsie (22 disposals, six inside-50s, two marks)

"He had a reasonable day. We'd love to see him impact in and around stoppage a little bit more and win more of his own ball. Having said that, he used the ball pretty well to create for us on the day."


Hugo Ralphsmith (16 disposals, three marks, one goal)

"He played down back and on a wing and I thought he ran and carried and was able to overlap really well to break lines on occasion. But, we probably could have got more bang for buck from his disposal."


Noah Cumberland (15 disposals, seven inside-50s, two goals)

"Had four shots on goal. He has the opportunity to really impact games, which we saw on the weekend. I'd just like for him to be a little bit more consistent through the four quarters."
Matt Coulthard (10 disposals, two marks, one inside-50)

"An interesting day for Matt. I thought he had the opportunity to have a big influence on the game. He looked really promising, but probably didn't have the impact on the scoreboard we would like for him to have."

Samson Ryan (10 disposals, five marks, two inside-50s)

"Once again, he looked as though he could have blown the game apart. He took three towering contested marks and had a number of shots on goal, but was unable to convert unfortunately."

It's going to be interesting to see what we end up doing with the travelling side. The VFL are in Queensland on Saturday to play Southport and we're in Perth, so it's likely we take 24 to Perth so someone is likely to miss out on playing this week. Clarke missed out last week as the hold over emergency, so I'd like to see him getting a full game either way. I get the feeling we'll take Ryan and Dow to Perth with Dow to be the sub and Ryan the hold over in case we need to bring in a tall last minute.

yep That’s what I’m thinking

ckarke starts ( Prestia rested most likely)

dow and Ryan emerg

 

[beema limapep]

they will beat us

100% spot on.

 

[Demetrius Zaarin]

Watch them choke against WC, it's going to be a repeat of 2022 against Norf. Every bottom dweller breaks their losing streak against us.

 

[beema limapep]

[Drunken Wookie]

with our forward line being absolute dogshit we simply cant kick a big enough score to get a percentage boosting win and consequently we leave the door open for a loss. Years of hbfers is starting to hurt now.

 

[sante]

Something tells me we won’t win easy

Been saying this for years.

We need to move Balta and Dan Rioli forward

Will kick the first goal, then we can sit back and relax from there. Lol As long as we win.

What’s with all this resting players shit? We’ve played 2 games since a bye, this game isn’t a given (the aints fell over the line) 2 weeks ago against them. We need to win. Best team has to play.

 

[Truetiger]

What’s with all this resting players s**t? We’ve played 2 games since a bye, this game isn’t a given (the aints fell over the line) 2 weeks ago against them. We need to win. Best team has to play.

Rest them in the lead up to our finals campaign.

ye we need to win and win big

play all our best players and try to absolutely destroy their midfield coz our forwardline is probably still gonna be a joke

and you just know frees shuey and tim kelly will both get 40 disposals and that oscar allen bloke will kick 6 or 7

 

[Truetiger]

Something like this is what we need.

 

[tiger_tough]

Is it too much to ask just to demolish a team from syart to finish for once?

 

[prodigy]

We have this unique skill of making every game a nail biter. Which is concerning leading into this week.
If we are serious about making finals we need to boost our percentage because that's likely what it's going to come down to.

We have to limit their scoring and put a break of 30+ on them early to crush their spirit a bit.

Hate these games because we often don't do what we need to do.

 

[lllscroatlll]

we haven't done that since 1980
