Preview Changes vs Cats in the Semi Final

[amazingjoshy]

Hard to see how the boys won't be flat

Betting markets agree. Geelong favourites now

 

[KERRPOW]

Still not seeing why Petruccelle should be getting selection ahead of Ah Chee for this match.

The team already have Geelong beaten for speed, it is contested possessions where the damage is going to occur.

The midfield are going to need all the help they can get.

Absolutely agree

 

[Doashuey]

This team stands up in the face of adversity. It will galvanize them and they will come out breathing fire..We play better as the underdog.

 

[BigVic]

We always overcome adversity. Last year we lost 3 of our best players as well as Shuey during the season

 

[PerthBoy86]

We're cooked, never been so sure of something involving the club in my life. We had almost a week to deal with the Gaff fallout, we have no time at all now.

How exactly are we cooked? Get real. If anything the post Gaff incident shows we get fired up after stuff like this.

You were also so sure of us being straight sets fodder after Gaff and then the Melbourne loss.

I have a vision of NN, Gaffy and Shep with a premiership medallions around their necks. If not this season next, mark my words lol.

I suspect Stanley returning has played into it too.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Still find the timing ver strange of Rioli issue, none the less he is not available and these guys are supposed to be professionals. Get on with it and take care of business is what pros do. Petch in, meh

 

[GROTTO]

If this was any other non-Vic team you would be so f**ked it isnt funny.

I do have faith that the Eagles can beat the Victorian enemy tomorrow night.

Your coach and your players have recent proven successful September finals experience. It wouldnt surprise me if this galvanizes the team, rather than break them.

I dont think the Eagles though could win a grand final without NicNat and Gaff, with that said.

Thank you for your positive thoughts friend And for your fun facts too this week!

Fingers crossed... Desperately want to beat those campaigners tomorrow.

What a day... Our Willie and Don going... A man of honesty and integrity at the least. Unfortunately the cancer is still there and needs to be removed

Thought Cameron may have been a better replacement.

Like your positive spin!
(Btw the eagles won a GF last year without NN+Gaff+Shep)
Hope Petch seizes this opportunity and keeps his head!
Sneezy would've been well-suited also.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Can people stop posting the Geelong/Dank shit please. I know we're all hurting but we're better than just deflecting. It's petty AF.

Pretty pissed that we had the Cats on the ropes psychologically going into this game and as usual it's been turned upside down at the last moment. Oh well.

Strength through adversity bitches.

 

[Astro7]

****ing hell! We had such a great week leading in and all the pressure was on Chris Scott and the Cats. And absolute cluster****. Now there's no way I can watch any media to do with the build up any more. Really killed my enthusiasm for the finals, the sport, and the club at the moment.

You need to do some lawn mowing!?
But yeh, it's a real dampener just prior to game!
We take no prisoners and we move on-lets hope they turn it on and light it up!!

 

[HoneyBadger35]

From the badly missed Miguel Sanchez.

Since our last meeting.

In: Naitanui, Redden, Barrass, Nelson, Waterman
Out: Allen, Venables, Duggan, Cole, Brander

Geelong In: Parfitt, Narkle, Bews
Out: Duncan, Rohan, Constable

The boys being flat aside, the on paper changes and shift to the MCG are seriously advantage Eagles since these sides last met.

Also Petch having played only last Sunday in the WAFL - wonder how he will run out the game will be the question. What a way for a player to come into the selected side.

Would of gone with Ah Chee simply for experience and that he can and would get 10-15 touches, Petch unless the sun shines on him is a 5-8 disposal player who has poor defensive ability at this stage and could get really shown up tomorrow. Hope he stands up as there are no excuses for anyone in finals.

The opposite happens with this team. We shit the bed in the 2015 GF after the Chick shit came out, and it took Port being down three rotations in the last qtr for us to beat them at the last second in a game we never looked like winning, a week after the Gaff shit.

Good thing we didnt win last round otherwise we'd be staring down straight sets to Collingwood at Optus. At least now falling to 5th pre finals and probably losing to the cats we can so 'ah well we lost to top seed'.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

He played last week and had a stinker.

 

[frenchconnection]

Ah Chee played too but I rather him than Petch. Petch is very raw still, imagine him in an MCG final?

Yes can't understand why Ah Chee wasn't the one given a callup? Really feel for Ah Chee as think the MC and coaches have not given him a fair go since coming to us from Port.

 

[ep2018]

I'm a shitty supporter, I'm pissed this will cost us this game more so than how this will affect Willie in the long run.

 

[Cuzz09]

Why has Cameron not been given a go?

I would have him in over Petrol. Obviously something the coaches dont like

I'm a s**tty supporter, I'm pi**ed this will cost us this game more so than how this will affect Willie in the long run.

The whole situation is farked. I haven't felt so shit about the Eagles and AFL since 2007. I have zero hope tomorrow night and I have doubts I'll see Willie in an Eagles guernsey again. Oh well, pub meal and drinks will soften tomorrow's pain.

Or we win and it'd be one of our best finals wins in history.

 

[Cuzz09]

It sucks but I dont care.

Our best 22 still can still beat the cats and win the flag.

NicNat, Gaff, Shepp missed last year... maybe this year it'll be Willie, someone and someone...

If the club wins then
