Preview Elimination Final: West Coast vs Essendon, Perth Stadium, Thursday 05/09/19 @ 8:10 PM AEST

[TheGreatBarryB]

Dead rubber game last night, right guys?

Resting players, right guys?

Oh boy.

No one to blame but ourselves.

Who was rested? Hepp and Raz have struggled for weeks. Stringer was sore from previous hammy. Hooker ill or groin.

Yeah let's go all in, smash all of our guys, and play first week of finals with half of our side out. We tried that in the first quarter and it was carnage.

The players "rested" had legitimate injuries and needed a rest regardless of whether we had something to play for or not.

Sunday scenarios.

Bulldogs & Richmond win:
Essendon play West Coast in Perth.

Adelaide win: Essendon play GWS at Spotless/Giants Stadium.

Bulldogs win & Richmond lose by 10pts plus: Essendon play Richmond in Elimination.

Go Crows!!!!!

 

[JuniorWatch]

Clearly by tonights evidence the eagles are beatable in Perth.
They only just got past the crows a fortnight ago.
Before that they lost to a struggling Pies team.
Beatable.
But yeah, muuch rather play the giants.

Of course they're beatable, but I doubt they play as badly like they did tonight again. You can't expect guys like Shuey, Hurn and Yeo to perform like that two games in a row.

They should also get Nic Nat back in for that spud Hickey.

 

[the PILL]

It is what it is...

Only positive I've managed to dig up after the Weagles detonating tonight are the WC fans throwing the toys out of the cot saying Simpson has been found out and their season is over.

I'm confident

 

[rumply]

Dogs went west & won in their run...thats all I got...

Oh & Go Cows

We're 5-0 against WCE in finals, and we won our last final in Perth by 45 points.

Gotta find something to be positive about I guess

 

[blitzer]

Hmm hopefully the Crows somehow win. But we have gone alright interstate recently. Hell we even had a win in Perth (albeit against a very poor and toothless Dockers side). I wouldn't give us much of a chance vs the Eagles over there but you never know. At least Naitanui will be underdone, which is a lot better than facing a fully fit Grundy running circles around Bellchambers.

 

[ghostdog]

Last time we played WC we were missing Stringer. This time we'll be missing Guelfi and Zaharakis.
Sheed had 36 disposals, Gaff 31. They blew the game open in the second quarter.

What did Clarko do tonight?

 

[Knighta21]

****ing hawthorn, just wanted to ruin it for us.
Hopeful for Adelaide win and we take on GWS

 

[JayJ20]

I don't think GWS is the easy prospect many people think. They've got their star players back. Much more likely to get the one who smashed us, Collingwood and Richmond than the one that lied down for Bulldogs.

 

[jmoo wan]

0.007% in it. Basically, if Richmond lose, they finish 5th.

lol, classic fifthmond

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

There's no easy win out of WCE, GWS or Richmond. Id probs want to play Richmond the least.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

oh goody, another interstate elimination final thrashing

 

[ghostdog]

Could be equally characteristic of Essendon to finish 8th and limp to elimination

In the end as long as we have a decent crack at it then I will be 90% happy.

 

[ghostdog]

On the Hawks board in a thread tagged Autopsy, to find pages and pages of mayo. All I wanted was some insight. Looks like Clarko played McEvoy as a defender. Eagles tagged Worpel and O'Meara and Wingard stepped up. Ceglar must have towelled up Hickey.

Also sounds like Hawks came into Eagles d50 quickly, lots of pressure on Eagles defenders causing dropped marks or marks not taken. Weird for the Eagles.

Nic Nat will be returning from injury against us, so maybe they might play two rucks?

We actually look really stupid now and what’s the bet The rested players return without the momentum needed.

 

[Fletched]

I didn't realize that west coast went to 5th jesus

Really need brisbane to win

 

[Don Won]

I’m really conflicted. If bulldogs win were off to Perth with no chance. But if bulldogs loose hawks season is still alive. So in choosing between the preservation of my team, or seeing Hawthorn fail, I have to say - go doggies.

 

[rumply]

Not giving the Crows much if a chance today, cold af in Ballarat, they'll be looking for the finish line early.

 

[MiguelM]

Fine and sunny by the time the footy starts (but cold) in Ballarat so evens things up a bit.

Whoever we play will be tough. History means nothing.

Love nothing more than Tigers at the G & beating them!!

Go Dogs & Lions
