Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - EF vs. West Coast Eagles - OS (Perth), Sat 03/10 @ 8:10pm AEST

I haven’t seen us go into a final, looking less a chance of winning, since 2007 at Subiaco oval, unless it was the 2018 PF. Not sure.
Oh well, I guess we can’t win then.

I wish Malthouse was there to help

Playing Ben Reid....

LOL

Bloke got 4 touches last year in the PF. He isn't the answer, now or 2021...

Just enjoy the last game of the year.

Bucks: reidy has done a mountain for work and we're confident that his body will get through the game.

Ch 7 qtr time: Ben Reid has gone down to the rooms with a calf complaint

Would still probably manage more marks I50 than anyone in that first quarter

 

[davywap]

Grundy will get destroyed by Nic Nat. I would rather go extreme and have no Ruckman and bring in an extra Mid like Sier.
Stevo is another that is an absolute liability atm. Bring in Ruscoe in front of his family.
JT out for C Brown &
Varcoe out for the Candy Mayne

You win the dumbest thing I've heard all week award.

 

[unplugged]

Poll is neck and neck

 

[Big Bryza]

At least the main guys who always kill us are within that returning group; Kennedy, McGovern and Shuey. Even Cripps and Redden to a lesser extent. They may be fully fit but if they're at 90% it might go a long way.

Gaff always murders us and likewise Kelly. We need to put time into these guys.

No Yeo is huge as well. Deservedly got AA last year and is another who tackles hard. His game is well suited for finals footy.

If Greenwood doesn't tag Kelly then I'll ****in spew up.

Also Gaff, campaigner kills us every time.

 

[Big Bryza]

First time for everything?! We started the Perth hub alright last time too

Eagles seem to mostly have our measure though, I'm not expecting too much for this one sadly

I think everyone is scarred but the shellacking they gave us mid year. Outside of that our games against them have been rather competitive. We had so much go against us in that last match. I'm prepared to ignore that result and I'm confident we'll be winning this.

 

[Big Bryza]

We've got the loser of Port and Geelong in the Semi yeah?

Yeah we'll touch up Port in the semi to send them out in straight sets.

 

[unplugged]

Yeah we'll touch up Port in the semi to send them out in straight sets.

And then Brisbane or Richmond in the PF, neither of which I'm scared of. One week at a time and all, but we're gonna win the flag.

Definitely scarred! But no denying this year's clash was a trainwreck overall, with the Pendles late omission on the back of de Goey injury too

Yes we have close matches, but Eagles seem to get the job done mostly, except for that 1 pointer we had over there last year of course. They've got a lot going their way for this one, but I'm a glass half empty guy when looking at the games a lot of the time too, so fingers crossed I get shown up

Last time we had Scharenberg, Cameron, Wills and Atu all playing

And no de goey, pendles or treloar.

 

[unplugged]

And no de goey, pendles or treloar.

Treloar played. It was his 4th game back.

Sidebottom was the other missing but he's obviously out again.

ohh right

 

[Tarkyn_24]

the final with Judd, Cousins and Kerr out? I for one expected to win that

Tbf that was partly countered by us rucking Bryan and Richards against Cox though lol

 

[Gabbo64]

2 teams, 1 winner. At least the maths say we are a 50/50 chance

 

[Thefly38]

No matter how good they are, taking potentially 4 underdone players into a final has to be too big a risk? Surely West Coast won't bring all those players back at once.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Well Reid won’t be playing, he’s injured again.
He’s retiring.

 

[Piestration]

You win the dumbest thing I've heard all week award.

Yeah I'll give you that one.

I just hope Grundy can be competitive because last week Hinkley gave Grundy full votes.

I dont mean to be rude but when would you expect us to bring them in? The week after?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Lynch & Sier on the way over.

I wish someone had convinced Leigh Matthews of this logic on underdone or injured players.

Not the Odds though

Not rude at all! Just my low risk tolerance at play.
