Preview Changes Vs Cats Round 9

[boondy]

Being serious, I think the Perth crowds pump out a lot more volume than we do down in Geelong. Mores the pity.

Eagles membership was full capacity about 12 years ago so all us members there are old and respectful , we dont chant until we are 90 points in front with 5 minutes left just in case we lose

I wouldn't go against bringing back Hutchings just to tag Jelwood. For the love of god, don't put Scooter on him. Why try that failed move a 10th time?

But he try's so hard

McGinnity

 

[Moggy]

On TV the Geelong supporters at Skilled seem pretty loud.

There's a reason for that

Any possibility that Lycett takes over either Naitanui or Sinclair's spot this week? Or perhaps play all 3 of them(Lycett as a half forward), lol idk.

No chance I'd think

Hey guys, hope it's ok to post in here...

Just wondering what kind of reception Chris Scott will get from the crowd: on a scale from "feral" to "Freo supporter"?

Those two two things are at the same end of the scale are they not?

Unless one is injured no . Lycett was dropped through bad form and Sinclair has been very good since being in the team .

 

[boondy]

Maginness said himself he is hoping to play a few games with EP in the last few rounds of the season .

Newman is training with a hand brace for a while now .

Reckon ( guessing from news reports )he is nearly ready to resume maybe keeping him out for longer is just extra precaution .

That doesnt bode well for maginness , really thought he was on the up and up

 

[boondy]

Doesnt matter how many times i check the changes for Geelong i keep expecting some miracle that fills the emptiness when Yeo was suspended , alas your words cannot console me

 

[Beutbrute]

EBrown (knee) season
Mackenzie (knee) season
Tunbridge (ankle) 10 weeks
Lamb (knee) 4 weeks
Cavka (foot) 2 weeks
Darling (foot) 2 weeks
Rosa (hamstring) 1-2 weeks
Main (back) 1 week
Sheed (hand) 1 week
Hutchings (hamstring) test
Ellis (calf) available

I can hardly believe Main has made the injury list... This is progress for him!!!
Sigh...

Love it! Let's throw them 3 and Clark, Blicavs and Stanley in the centre - would be great fun to watch

Please don't generalize ferals like that...

Why wouldn't Nata play?

 

[swingdog]

Why wouldn't Nata play?

Late withdrawal (K.Hagdorn).

 

[Beutbrute]

Why wouldn't Nata play?

Not getting enough marks around the ground (G.Lyon)

Hey Turboman1994, I hope you're not using Firefox this week

Preview is done

 

[MIKE85]

NN jokes aside, does anyone else reckon he looks too heavy this year?? He looks slow. I watched that glorious replay of our 2013 Norf troll the other night, and he looked much more lean, and was actually chasing hard, & taking marks

Im taking my kid. Chris will not like that.

He always looks slow until he runs down midfielders, But i know what your saying

Yeah I agree. I don't think he needs to be that heavy - his tackling and contested work was strong enough as an 18 yr old really.

Can only assume it's for protection against the bigger ruckmen

 

[eagle eyed]

Why wouldn't Nata play?

Because Zac Clarke is better (M. Lloyd)

I think a few underestimate his impact.

I have always had a thing about Hitouts to Advantage. I believe that they should be counted as disposals as I can't see them as any different to a handball out of a stopage.

Against Saints he had 15 hitouts to advantage, couple that with his 14 disposals and you could say he had a 30 possession game. Massive impact.
