Prediction Changes and pre match discussion vs Brisbane Lions R23.

[The Magenius]

I’ve never seen a more disinterested west coast side.
It’s almost as if some of the senior guys are going through the motions and have absolutely no interest or enjoyment in playing and know they can get away with it.
An experienced coach could see this side is in dire need of a shakeup.

The changes are very obvious he’s been making the same changes all season he won’t change now. It’s pointless suggesting anything to be perfectly honest.

 

[Ok Boomer]

In Rioli, Williams, Mystery player that isn’t Brander
Out Sheed, Kelly, Vardy

Light on for mids but I’m done with Sheed for 2021.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

In: Rioli, Waterman, Williams, Brander, Rotham

Out: Sheed, Langdon, Vardy, Kelly (inj), Nelson

A few Eagle careers on the line in this one. Thank **** this season will be over after next week is all I'll say. It's ironic we've pissed away the second half of the season and in all likelihood the finals or at least the Grand final will be in Perth. Hopefully the players that play show pride in the jersey next week and don't return with another near 100 point thumping under their belts. There is certainly a cancer going in around the club I don't know if it's the players or coach but something is damn rotten at the core.

Fixture not yet confirmed, just hoping Essendon vs Collingwood is before our game, so that there's no false hope.

there is no hope

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

there is no hope

Ofc there isn't, but I prefer it to be all done and dusted before our game.

 

[Shifty1]

The Duggan move to the midfield went well didn't it....good work simmo

And after Duggan had a real breakout last year running off the HBF. What a wasted year.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Struggling to get up

IN: Willie

 

[Smotie2]

Agreed.

If we know there is a chance we would lose by 15 goals. If we know there isn't a chance we will lose by 15 goals.

 

[Rowan18]

I doubt I'll even watch this one. Hopefully it is Sunday arvo so we already know if it is a dead rubber.

 

[Divebomb]

100 point flogging coming right up. The players don't care about hard work or winning

 

[Bushhopper]

IN: some mongrel from Rockingham
OUT: anyone

Williams has been injured so often this year that rucking him solo with only pinch-hitters as backup would be an enormous risk.

 

[ziad]

I see this week as a wake, we celebrate the end with a few drinks. No expectations at all.

 

[BankokEagle]

Sheed needs to go.

For those who think kicking the winner in 2018 invalidates the criticism, you don't grasp the thread - and yes even I get how stupid that sounds ...

With him playing the role he plays we won't win anything. Ever. When he moves on we'll be better.

But congratulations to him on that kick. It has most certainly enhanced his reputation well beyond his ability and undoubtedly earned him a few dollars in the process.

I'm just annoyed it has further entrenched him in the side. Which just delays our improvement.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

No prefinals bye confirmed, Brisbane to rest everyone, Eagles to ... lose by 12 points after conceding 60 points to nothing in the first quarter.

 

[squashface]

Brisbane are gunning for Top 4 so I doubt they will rest anyone

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Yeah, but they're playing us.

So your saying keep vardy in ?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

So your saying keep vardy in ?

If you’re insisting on resting NicNat then yes.

I don’t know why we’d bother doing that though, what are we resting him for? Finals?

Unfortunately for sheed is he has taken to cycling to improve his fitness. This has made him a good runner but piss weak when it comes to the physical stuff .

I would rather move gaff on and play sheed in that role . At least sheed can mark and he does open the game up with his kicking .
Sheed played his best in gaffs role when gaff was suspended .

Redden then played that inside role .

 

[Westend]

Brisbane are gunning for Top 4 so I doubt they will rest anyone

They can play there b grade team and still flog us .

our players are soft as butter atm I will be amazed if we can within 30 points
