Preview Changes for QF v Collingwood

[wce4premiership]

I expect a lot of Duggan because he's one of my favourites. However he needs to work on his disposal on the run, it's substandard and better teams will make us hurt much more than Brisbane.

Don't think he will or should be dropped though.

 

[Astro7]

Meh, Thursday or Saturday, bring it on, and bring the best Pies team they've got..
We are as ready as can be...!
(interesting Simmo said they didn't quite play finals footy today..another gear!)
Long range weather forecast...?

 

[FKASC]

People are hard on Duggan’s disposal and decision making because it was meant to be a strong suit of his, despite being small and not particularly athletic.

Same as why people are hard on Sheed for not being a very strong contested player, despite being drafted as an inside mid

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Much happier with Saturday night game.

 

[Bluey_McKenna]

Expect Treloar and Howe to play now. Disaster for us I reckon. oh well.

You must be fun at parties.

 

[JackDoff]

Out: Lecras, Oscar Allen, Lycett
In: Nelson, Kennedy, Jetta

Lycett and Lecras just aren't up to it. Oscar Allen provided little.

Nelson in ??? What ?? Are you related to him? He has done sfa all year so lets bring him back for finals - yeah that makes a lot of sense.

 

[Juddy88]

Anyone saying Barrass out can gtfo this board.

I was reading and thinking it must be an inside joke I'm missing? Strange if not.

You must be fun at parties.

No one invites me to parties.

 

[Balls In]

The toughest call is potentially between Barrass and Schofield. With McGovern the best intercept marker in the world i think Im picking Schofield. Makes fewer mistakes one out.

 

[numbat06]

I think even before the hamstring Schofield was playing quality footy, provides a lot more rebound than Barrass, but they'll probably try to play both

 

[beatlesmith]

OUT: Allen, Barrass
IN: Kennedy, Jetta

Tough for Barrass but I just don't see a good matchup for him.
Schofield would do a better job on Cox and had a much better day out today.
Gov would go to (and play off) Mihocek, leaving Shep and Hurn for Stephenson and De Goey.
His performance today and in the second half of last week hardly instilled confidence, and the idea of him switching onto De Goey/Stephenson is a terrifying one.

 

[Doughboy]

At this stage, I don't mind who comes in or out, so long as F%$*ing Eddie Everywhere isnt commentating.

 

[Figure09]

I should be happy!!!

Can't see Duggan being dropped as he's better defensively than Jetta. We do need to fit Jetta in though for his attacking abilities. I'd say they'll drop one of the talls, hopefully not Schofield.

Jetta will definitely play, being put on ice for today was strategic.

I can't see Schofield being dropped, as he's more defensive in the clinches than Barrass, whilst still having the experience to create a bit of space and run.

If JK is coming back, we would no longer need the option of having an extra tall to rotate forward. Either Barrass or Vardy are dropped. if you think Tommy has it in him to pinch-hit a few ruck contests, moreover clunk marks on the wing (which I believe he can do pretty well), Vardy goes.

Then there's Duggan, though think we need the grit.

 

[WCE Wizard]

Good problem to have, Josh Kennedy is a must

In JK, Jetta
Out Oscar Allen Not sure who else

[KBLT]

Outs: O.Allen, Barrass (both unlucky)
Ins: Kennedy, Jetta

 

[eagles rule]

I remember the last time when I was super confident in smashing a lesser opponent in a final (Bulldogs EF, 2016). Then again it’s a new side with a new gameplan, and no Mitch Brown to be a late in.

Similar scenario too with Collingwood playing Freo in Perth and in 2016 it was the Western Bulldogs playing Freo in rd 23 ..

The good news is WCE have a double chance ..

[ep2018]

Can we all leave Figure09 alone. Pessimists like us have a hard time with the pre finals bye. We get too nervous lol. Come on Eagles!
