Gameday Thread - Round 1 - Western v West Coast

[Carbine Chaos]

Why am I so pessimistic about this game?

Whyyyyyy?

 

[Bluey_McKenna]

Like Embley as the sub

 

[mezaire]

I reckon Hill is going to have a massive one to show up his old team, I'm tipping 4-5 goals from 7-8 set shots!!!

For mine if our running defenders have a good game we should come out on top. Finding someone to keep Gia quite might be a key too.

 

[The Passenger]

****ing pumped for round one of footy. it's about team.

why is butler listed as an emergency... assume he's fit if he's an emergency. surely he is best 22??

and lol at heraldsun - this is why you gotta look past stats. when you look at what they list as our best 22, they don't include darren glass, or scott selwood....

 

[ndot]

feeling very nervous.

this game is likely to give us a good indication of whats in store in 2012.

hopefully the forwardline finds a way to function.

selection of hams worries me. his lack of pace could adversely affect our forward press.

 

[Avalor]

Bring it on! Really interested in how Woosh rejigs the forward line, and in what sort of impact Hill and Hams can have.
Have a good one Eagles - get off to a fly.

Lynch and Kennedy are a bit underdone however other than that I don't know why people are so pessimistic. Masten, Shuey, Gaff, Darling, Smith, Naitanui, Schofield and Mackenzie should all be better than last year.

I would prefer both Waters and A Selwood to be out of the team for Butler and Brennan but I am not on the selection committee.

Eagles by 65 points.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Read this in an email I got. Here are the changes from the last time we played the Dogs. Personally, I think we're a lot stronger this time and the Dogs are a little weaker.

In: Lake, Cooney, Higgins, Minson, Addison, Markovic, Howard, Smith, Dickson, Grant, Wallis
Out: Hall, Ward, Griffen, Sherman, Williams, Hudson, Barlow, Stack, Schofield, Mulligan, Hooper


Out: LeCras, Nicoksi, McGinnity, Ebert, Swift, LyCett
In: Naitanui, Kennedy, Kerr, Masten, Hill, Hams

It sure is.

 

[Gizza]

Cheers channel 7. I didn't want to see our team lineup anyway.

 

[new breed]

Hams starting in the forward Pocket , not Hill

 

[bali-dog]

Why am I so pessimistic about this game?

Whyyyyyy?

because the dogs have promised to be manly and nasty!?

come on eagles!!!

(damn,my satellites not working-have to scooter down to 'Barbies Aussie Warung' to watch the game..with the bintang t-shirt brigade..its like a watering hole for dysfunctional dinosaurs?)

 

[Tiff]

Actually feels like a footy day for the first time.

Overcast, and dull.. I love it.

Beer in hand, girlfriend has left to avoid the cushion throwing, let's do this!

 

[BradWCE]

Finally the real thing starts. Think we should have the Dogs covered, 4-5 goal win.

 

[ndot]

Hams starting in the forward Pocket , not Hill

if you read it on the team sheet then that must be exactly how they will line up

 

[dajesmac]

Saw Stevens on the screen...am I just seeing things? Maybe it was Waters?

 

[pantskyle]

Almost game time.

 

[The Passenger]

presenting the game ball to the umpires?? a bit weird.

also thought all games were doing a minutes silence for jim stynes... should have anyway.

game on boys.

and anyone think that interview with daivd king and will schofield earlier was a bit awkward.... i'm not sure in what manner. it just seemed staged and awkward..

 

[Apollo2011]

Lets go lads!

 

[makaveli01]

Saw Stevens on the screen...am I just seeing things? Maybe it was Waters?

How many have u had?

 

[E92_]

Carn Eagles.

 

[Majinbuu]

That was

 

[E92_]

Jk!

 

[dajesmac]

What a start! Scooter and Kennedy both excellent!

 

[kaiserchief13]

What a start. Brilliant play from Naitanui, Scott Selwood and Kennedy!
