Reckon Oscar may miss this week. Elbow from the smother last week has been getting all the airplay this week with the brace but he’s looking a little banged up.

Strapped knee and shoulder too. Been carrying some niggles all year. Just get a feeling he may be a late out even if named tomorrow night.
Thankfully he plays in a position where we currently have an embarrassment of riches, JK/JD/JW can do the job without him. A weeks rest might do him wonders and we would want him fit in the second half of the year.
 
I actually saw The One True Wilson - Mr. Cork-in-the-Ocean himself at a game earlier in the year.

He looked in great nick for a 57 year old bloke, could have been Shannon Hurn’s younger brother.

Could definitely still add some toughness across half forward - I’m in favour of his triumphant return.

inb4 they drop Williams, Jones and Witherden for Hurn, Ryan and Vardy

Can't see Vardy overtaking Williams - Wiliams is already outpeforming him and has much high ceiling. Vards should be consigned to injury backup.

Witherden for Hurn seems straightforward - Hurn can actually defend as well to that's a win

Who gets dropped for Ryan is a doozy. Whoever it is probably goes as injury sub.
 
I always forget that the game was close early, before we blew it apart. Talk about peppering the goals, we kicked about 4 behinds in the 3 minutes leading up to that goal.

Our current side is the only accurate Eagles side in our history. Our brand for 30 years was burying sides under volume of shots on goal. Used to drive me nuts but sometimes I would really like to see us put up 30+ scoring shots more often.

Witherden should stay and Rotham should go! Agree with you on Williams.Who gets dropped for Ryan? ANYBODY!!

Gov more unlikely than likely according to Simpson.

Can we swap Hurn for Gov and go in small?

Thats what I would do.

TBH I dont think Gov will make a massive difference this week - GWS F50 structures prioritise leading players as opposed to the "bomb it and hope" strategy. His man would probably just run off him all day.
 
Ok, having a crack before teams are named this arvo (how good will it be having teams on the Thursday again?)

B: Hurn, Barrass, Sheppard
HB: Cole, Rotham, Witherden
C: Gaff, Kelly, Brander
HF: Cripps, Darling, Waterman
F: Ryan, Kennedy, Allen
R: Naitanui, Sheed, Redden
I (from): Nelson, Williams, Ah Chee, Petruccelle, Jones (sub), Langdon (flying), Edwards, Foley (staying home)

Allen to play, Gov to miss. Land of the giants up forward, undersized defence but we can always swing Allen back if need be.

Jones or possibly Petch to get squeezed out by Ryan and play as the sub.

Would prefer both Jones and Petch to Ah Chee.

Ah Cher’s been filling a midfield role and dropping him would leave us even thinner in that area than we already are.
