Go Saints.

I know, but just can't see it. So aside from that being unlikely, hope they (unintentionally) injure some Eagles. Priddis, Kennedy and Nic NAt would do...

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Harsh on Dureya Jedi.

Hard to argue with most, out of Dureya/Langers/Howe for me for the last omission.

 

[Pessimistic]

Not certain its the eagles. Saints are that kind of team

 

[JoeHawk]

Great game by Chip, Hill and Big Boy

My selection is a guess from previous weeks. Didn't/couldn't watch today - so admittedly not very reliable. Was Duryea good today?

 

[Move P]

Duryea has to stay. Eagles have a lot of dangerous smalls.

Would love Suckling out of the team but can't see it happening.

[cryptor]

Saints getting a draw would be enough. If Gold Coast could do it then why not the Saints?

I thought he did alright tonight. No major stuff ups either.

 

[muff73]

In: Hodge, Rioli, Bruest, Hartung.
Out: Litherland, Sicily, Smith (inj) Howe (would love to keep him in but next year for him).
Duryea gives 100%, again, didn't get credit for a mark in the 2nd where he could've been KO'd. Would have him in over Suckling who's a better kick but doesn't go as hard as Duryea.

Smokey will be the Ruck, Clarko always does something out of the blue, and as much as I love Ceg's I hope we keep BB and Hale in.

Eagles in Perth very different. That game was up on the GC. But hey, I'm hoping as much as anyone!

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Eagles will violate St Kilda.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[WWSD]

IN: Spangher

 

[Lethality]

I think we will appreciate Frawley's run against West Coast. He is also important as an option on one of their key forwards.

 

[bungholes_premiers]

Anyone traveling across? Any good flight deals?

Finally.... the greatest team of the AFL era vs the club that's shown the biggest single-preseason improvement since Essendon of 2012 or Geelong in 2007.

West Coast are sure to inject a lot of pace into their side and I'm expecting them to be pumped up to the eyeballs for the contest, with lots of pep in their step.
The secret sauce for Simpson will be tweaking the chemistry of their lineup, they looked a little top heavy against us last time but with huge amounts of strength around the packs. We know they are lightning quick, but the real threat is their remarkable endurance. Schofield and McGovern are under injury clouds but the Eagles have been recovering from injury phenomenally well this year so I expect both to play.

I'll back our team anywhere anytime, but the Eagles are sure to play out of their skins. Its not often you see a young team lose its' two best defenders for the season and go on to have close to the best defense in the league... I'd love to know what their secret is!

Wouldn't it be funny if Eagles lose and Swans win resulting in Hawks V Swans next week.....

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

I didn't even see, what happened to Izzy ?

 

[WWSD]

Come on St Kilda. Hit em hard.

Can't take the Eagles lightly but still backing us to play well and kick straight. Go Hawks!
