News Joel Selwood to miss Eagles game at Subiaco Round 16

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Geelong appealed his suspension for wacking Guerra in the head and perforating his ear drum. Geelong lost the appeal and Selwoods suspension went from 3 weeks to 4 weeks. Thanks Geelong.

I know we shouldnt look too far ahead, but knowing Geelongs best player will be out for this game is a massive bonus for us Perhaps we should now move the tag to someone like Steve Johnson or Bartel.

 

[Lion El'Johnson]

Huge win for us. Now we just need to stop Chapman and Stevie J. The rest are easily accounted for.

 

[LeCrassic]

Great outcome for us

I think alot to do with stopping Stevie J will be to get under his skin early and keep him goalless for as long as possible, then he will just get frustrated and do the work for us.

Glassy did well on buddy earlier this year, except for the last quarter when he kicked half of his 6 and won it for them.

I thought Mitch Brown was on buddy when he kicked most of his goals.

There's your answer then

Glassy was on him early though wasn't he?, I'm sure I remember Glassy giving it to him. I could be wrong though

Yep, was mitch.

 

[pantskyle]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Ochre]

 

[greennick]

Yay for us.

Boo for my DT. Now, who to trade in for him??

 

[dajesmac]

Mitch had a broken thumb that day after half time.

 

[Biggie]

Um, I don't think we should get too excited?

Plenty of quality in that side to cover Joel I feel.

 

[sTeeL]

Better without Selwood than with I say...-

 

[Biggie]

Better without Selwood than with I say...-

True, true.

We are still a developing side, they are hardened warriors.

I look forward to the battle, to the death!!!1

 

[bodazoka]

Remember the days when we used to have the wood over Geelong... good times.

Imagine if we beat them... heads would explode.

 

[Quinz]

We did a decent job against Geelong last year at Subi. This will be 'the loss they had to have'?

I won't be tipping us.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Great news but i'm sure after three weeks without him they will have adapted enough.

 

[Phoney]

Better than a slap around the ear that's for sure!

 

[greennick]

Great news but i'm sure after three weeks without him they will have adapted enough.

On the other hand, we will have 3 weeks worth of data to go off on how they will try and cope without him.

 

[new breed]

Will be a good game , just hope Hams / Josh Hunt plays on each other .

Without Selwood Geelong could drop a few games in the next four

 

[Phoney]

They play saints (MCG), Adelaide (SS), Essendon (ES) and then us.

I would've thought Adelaide and Essendon would still be comfortable wins, St. Kilda might be interesting though.

Haha thats gold. Great pick up.

 

[Evelyn208]

Why has everyone gotten on the St Kilda bandwagon. After wins against a bipolar Melbourne, an injury depleted and choking Freo and the Bulldogs... well... what isn't going wrong there? Let's not jump to conclusions.

 

[vWestCoast]

Seriously believe we should win that game, unless injuries play it's part. Fremantle pushed them at Patersons earlier this year and w're no doubt better than that

 

[Prem87]

Awesome. ASelwood or Butler to Stevie J. SSelwoodt to Bartel. McGinnity on Varcoe. Hurn on Chapman - what a matchup.

 

[Alexwce]

I like a Glass vs Stevie J match up more or at least when his playing as a permanent forward. Different when he goes into the midfield.
