Prediction Changes Round 20 vs. West Coast

Also, want Fyfe to go to Yeo, and them to just completely treat Harley with Disdain.

"Who are you? First game, right?"

"Nice of the club to give everyone on the list a chance"

Not ignore him, because he can be damaging if let out, but just get under his skin.

Like that thing that got under Sigourney Weavers skin?

You see, Schofield, that's where you're going wrong. You don't expect McMuffin to pass a fitness test before playing. Take a look at the bloke.

That'd be like expecting Bubba Darcy to pass a skinfold.

love those handles

Witherden out, too?

Witherden was an emergency, I would have been much more excited if he IN the west coast team, that would have been a positive for us.

 

[Seppo]

Clancee, Danyle or Alex?

Back in the day it was Clancee who was called “out” every week

Next week will be our 3rd week at home. Finals are looming. Our developmental trajectory is heading steeply upwards... tracking towards the end of the season (let alone how it'll head even further into the future). Even as a young team were edging to a critical level of maturity.

All this leads to us being in the here and now, each week. Hangovers are from carrying around the past. I'd be confident we'll handle it just fine.

Except we are away to Essendon at the MCG

I usually avoid derbies and run away somewhere to hide, Unfortunately, the family has voted and we are going to this one gulp

I've never been to one. Brother in law (a pom who doesn't know anything about footy) got free tickets off a friend and invited me. Vulnerable (ok, happy and drunk) after last week's game, I accepted.

Now I'm nervous.

 

[Perfect Purple]

The terror, the sheer terror on Darling’s face as he sees Josh Treacy charge through him in beast mode.

Now that will be fun to watch

there's all this talk about us locking down Yeo and Reid - think they should be worried about Serong, Brayshaw, Young, Clark...

 

[Wray27]

Allen will play back and Darling forward to cover McGovern.
He’s played back many times.

Imagine Clark running off half back with four talls in their forward line.

Don't see why'd they'd do that. There's two other KPDs in their team.

So why bring in Darling?

ohhh that image is making my day

 

[Mogumber]

Allen is one of their most offensive weapons. He'll play forward.
Darling will have to go to Amiss

Geez hope he does.

 

[Redgum]

darling is a bit of a bogeyman for us, maybe get Chapman to watch him.

Eagles ponder surprise switch after star defender ruled out of derby

Jarrad Schofield is weighing up the option of playing Jack Darling in defence after Jeremy McGovern was ruled out of the Western Derby

www.afl.com.au

Is Schofield being inspired by Lobb's new role?

how good would it have been for Walters to have annoyed the shit out of him?

 

[FreoGirl]

darling is a bit of a bogeyman for us, maybe get Chapman to watch him.

he is playing in our forwardline, apparently

I think part of that has been Fyfe playing tag-ish roles or "lockdown" roles on Heeney and Oliver recently, which has allowed others like Brayshaw, Young and Serong to get more off the chain as these are the guys with the legs now, sadly not poor "old' Fyfey, but he still has an important 'role' to play to help this team, and that's a big part of it. If you can clamp/prevent/or disrupt their best player it provides a stronger opportunity to get clearances and stoppages working in your favour, something we've been Class A at lately - probably the best clearance team in the comp the past 4 or so weeks! I love seeing Switta roll through too, so we have cool versatility to mix it up with.

Plus, we seem to rotate a midfielder through the forward line for stints too, I think it's why Young and Serong etc have started scoring a little bit more recently, guys like Clark bobbing forward for a goal. You watch, if we get early ascendancy - guys will be peeling off and pushing up like Clark, Chapman etc, we'll be sniffing goals out like sharks to....sardine slop.

In fact the mind-chess we're doing at the mo with oppositional tactics is really quite wicked to watch. I think it's a big reason why we're harder to match up on, plus that coupled with good form. We always had the talent, it's just about getting the structures, patterns and positions right and getting the ball in better when we attack. Lots of that is now starting to flourish

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Wow they really tried to rush McGovern with a punctured lung back for this game. Embarrassing.
Win or lose, you can guarantee they will lie down roll over and get smashed for the 4 games left. It’s all about tomorrow for them.

 

[Mogumber]

Geez hope he does.

May go to Treacy, but Barrass will go to Jackson I reckon. Just got too many forward talls Freo (said no one ever) before 2024
