Dunno, but a hanky full of snot against his wrist didn’t win him any hygiene pageants.

Hankies don't grow on trees

 

[Weiterbot23]

I'd play Weiters on Kennedy and Plowman on Darling and have Jones cannon into anyone that goes for a mark.

Get Fish in, he can wriggle through their web.

A couple of forward handballs through their zone then long bombs to Levi

[Stephene]

Got a good feeling about this game (specially when you live in WA)

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

This is probably more appropriate for a best 22 thread if we have one, but does anyone else think our backline looks better as it is currently, with two KPD, a third tall who also plays on smalls, and three small/med defenders?
Simmo, SPS and Newman are working beautifully together. Not sure how Marchy fits in.
Our transition from kick ins has also looked much better with this mix. SPS really adds a touch of class we were lacking down there.

It definitely has, more flexibility and run. imo it has made our defensive rebounding so much more effective which has also helped our overall end to end ball movement, moving it on a lot quicker...

That's good. Clever.

I've just been surprised for the intensity this group has been able to bring to game-day for the past few weeks.
Expected a flat patch and even though they've come about through periods in a game, they haven't been there for the whole of the game.

This one's possible as much as the last one was possible. Same result will be just fine.

Weitering on Darling and Jones on Kennedy I think.

 

[Stamos]

Expected a flat patch

That was the Dees game

 

[HARKER]

That was the Dees game

There were flat patches, yet when we would have normally died a painful death, we fought it out to our last breath and could have easily won.

There's something in that and that's become evident in recent weeks, that a never say die attitude prevails. This is a good attitude.

 

[Blubagger71]

unpopular opinion but i think harry needs a spell in the twos, looks way way off it

Yes unpopular. Injured and carrying the forward target load. He will learn nothing in the 2s. He will have his work cut out for him with that WC backline this week though. Think he needs to slow down and get back to his routine when kicking for goal. He will be better for this tough time.

 

[Blubagger71]

The question is whether he's match fit.

If he's in full training and match ready, he should come straight back in.

And signed on for another three years! Love it.

 

[Eiffel 65]

And signed on for another three years! Love it.

Extremely happy about that.

Such a valuable player for us when he's out on the park

[Mr_Plow]

Weitering on Darling and Jones on Kennedy I think.

Other way around for me.

Jones takes the more mobile/explosive types usually.

Weitering can wrestle and out-position anyone.

Always had a soft spot for us has Healy

Hello bald eagle

not an australian diurnal raptor..........

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

I'm just hoping they play more Led Zep before the game this week....listening to Bonzo blasting it out on those huge speakers at the G last Saturday just about made my day.

Watching us win just capped it off very nicely

 

[The Bighouse]

Always had a soft spot for us has Healy

Think he’s more on the Western front, a regular for the games over in Perth.

Either/or of Jones or Weiters to JK & Darling.
Plowman to Allen/Waterman and then to find someone to mind Ryan (Thomas), Rioli (SPS), Petruccelle (Simpson + Newman chopping out) with J.Cameron maybe floating about too, though he has had a couple of quiet games in a row now & could be an omission.

A lot of intrigue in this game and the footy industry would explode if Carlton could beat the 2nd placed Eagles and go 6-2 under Teague.

Lions vs Dogs should also be a very entertaining match.

 

[Hands On]

Other way around for me.

Jones takes the more mobile/explosive types usually.

Weitering can wrestle and out-position anyone.

Spot on

Wut

the (american) bald eagle = an american bird that hunts in the day.......

Thanks for clearing that up..
