Prediction Changes Round 20 vs. West Coast

[DaveLister]

Draper and Emmet in for Pearce and Walters

 

[s_wd6]

Eagles getting all their guys back. Really just rested them specifically for this game. All four dominated us last Derby

 

[mattis117]

Damn Emmett... Prob the sub I guess. Would have preferred Erasmus. I wonder if he'd have played if he wasn't coming back from concussion...

 

[bushchook]

Id take Simpson over Emmett any day

 

[Freoforever86]

Eagles going in super tall. We should be able to run them off their feet

 

[StingBitten]

Has this just become a danger game?

I wasn't thrilled with Emmett's output earlier this year and the forward line seemed to function without him more smoothly, I did like the pressure he brought though. Good for him to get another chance but he needs to pop a couple of goals.

 

[sumavich]

It's in the midfield, if we get touched up there again like last Derby, we don't deserve to be in the frame.
I'm confident that won't happen again

 

[boylife in au]

Match up for Waterman? Need someone with pace who can defend.
Options Chapman, Walker, Wagner Clark. Wagner might not be big enough. Clark better value in usual role.

Me, held him goalless in a juniors grand final

He’ll prolly be sub?

 

[FreoGirl]

Eagles are going really tall, we should run them off the park.

especially if it does rain and they just kick and hope

 

[Taylor]

Nearly half their team is 193cm or taller. Four tall forwards, three tall backs, ruck, Maric and Rotham

Freo emergencies are Simpson, Hughes, Voss

 

[Spirit Level]

They couldn't, could they?

Eagles going in super tall. We should be able to run them off their feet

I reckon that a (really) big difference between the two teams anyway. Bizarre imo.

 

[yakamoto]

WCE on paper look to have picked a tall but slow side. If we can at least break even at clearances we should run them off their feet.

 

[mike91]

Was nervous at the start of the week. Bit more nervous now.

At home, wet toast are still decent and pushed Brisbane. Feel they rested players ready for their Grand Final

Thought Brodie would at least be an emergency for another week until Erasmus goes straight past him again off one week of footy.

I think Emmett is the right call for team balance tbh - I would've considered NOD if he'd had enough footy in the WAFL. Needs to someone capable on the outside imo.

 

[Footskill]

Hard to believe, but maybe eagles want to do us a solid and let us smash them. Least one WA team in grannnies

 

[Joao]

As long as we turn up its fine. The issue is not turning up.

 

[bone2468]

Would of much preferred Simpson over Emmett

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

He’ll prolly be sub?

JL favoured starting with the "real" fwd in Walters over rearranging the magnets and having Aish higher up the ground last week, even though he said that Walters would be sub.

The option to play Aish higher up and Banfield/Jaeger more fwd is once again open this week, and maybe this week we take that over starting Emmett. But Emmett starting would seem like JLs preference team structure wise.

 

[doppo]

Yeah I don't mind Emmett here, just this once. If we played Simpson they'd certainly try and rough him up. Emmett can give back as good as he gets.

 

[Drizzy]

Dang I was hoping for some Walters derby magic

 

[Wray27]

I have only ever been to one away derby and we won.It was the day Modra kicked a bag.
I felt very uneasy sitting amongst all the Yellas.
Very strange people.
Up in block 521 where we sit, there are a lot of empty seats. I just hope that many Dockers supporters have picked these seats to sit in. The other mob make me feel uncomfortable. I find it very hard to have to bite my tongue at heir stupidity.
As has been said, we need a good start to sit them on their elitist and arrogant rear ends.

I’m in 521 for this game. Had to buy as the 3 game membership doesn’t include the derby
