Game Day Round 1, 2023: West Coast Eagles vs North Melbourne - “A Walk in the Park”

[Godfather32]

I think we’ll be without Kennedy for a while.

FFS, our S&C team sucks

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

FFS, our S&C team sucks

What’s worse, the club didn’t even include him on the injury list

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Oh and now Brett Heady is a late out, we’re f’d guys

 

[Farang83150]

Name one person that has suggested this will be a walk in the park.

Freomaniacs sister says it'll be a walk across the road!

We honestly should still win this weekend but a loss would be horrible, GWS at home in round 2 is our only other winnable game in the next nine or so games.

0-9 and Simmo is gone, and our first and second year interstate players (Culley etc) are questioning whether its worth it to stay or to try and head home.

Hello coasters

I must say I enjoy my occasional trips to this board, you’re a funny bunch.

Rumour has it we are leaving Phillips out of the starting 22 and it got me thinking about the conditions on Saturday. For those that haven’t seen it’s going to be low 30’s and assuming the roof is closed it will be like an inferno inside marvel. I’m predicting clarko is going to prioritise run, as we aren’t great runners through the midfield anyway with Phillips and Powell young and years off their peak running ability, cunners who slowly waddles etc. I can see shiels, stevo playing full games. Unsure of how the conditions impact the call on Corr and zuhaar. It seems both will play but I could see them not playing Corr and risking an undersized defence.

I could be off here but it would seem like it would take a mighty effort for you guys to win this game playing 4 first gamers and a few senior players that have been managed a bit and not really prepared for round 1.

Goldy and Xerri should be a handful.

But it’s round 1 and we haven’t had much success in round 1’s. I think the bad run actually started against west coast in 2010, I’m sure there is a gif of brad Scott on hand. A heart breaking close loss with a late free kick paid and clarko losing it is probably what I should expect.

How nice of you to pop in. Even if Zurhaar gets up I think we might just have you covered at both ends. But the middle may be a bit more of a challenge.

 

[Mr Eagle]

34 degrees forecast. That won't be pleasant.

 

[Free Agent]

Now that Yeo is out we should play it safe and start with Gaff as an inside mid, and focus on kicking the ball sideways and backwards as a team rule.

You forgot to mention just kicking the ball sideways without looking who his kicking too.

Lucky we train in these conditions all preseason. Ironic that we go to Melbourne round one and get a hot day though.

 

[RookiePick]

I think as a society we should just assume peace

What are your thoughts on adding your seed to the seed of the Pisum Sativum?

 

[Spooky17]

King Rubes getting a rising star nod this week will be a walk in the park.

 

[Cuzz09]

I reckon we've had a couple of good rd1 wins at Etihad on warm days.

I remember beating North and the Dogs

Ummm, we're playing in an indoor stadium. Yes, it will get a bit warm, but it's going to be a lot cooler than outside in the direct sun.

 

[Schtinker]

We talking Mt Augustus or the park down the road with the rusty swing set here?

The one with the metal slide that burns the cheeks off your ass and fries your nuts.

That heat should favour the conditions we've been training in with our protracted summer we've just had.
Unless Melbourne has had a comparable heat wave I'm not aware of.

 

[javaguice]

Have the teams been announced? Why does everyone think culley isn't playing?

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Nic minnit "aiming to be back after the bye"

Aiming to be back to help us win just enough games to miss out on the number 1 pick.

It has been warm enough in Melbourne I think, not a big issue as i see it. Unless we are reverting back to collecting excuses.

Taking a charcoal chicken dish to Simmos BBQ . Everyone knows its a snags and steak only affair. Long stint in the WAFL coming up .

Is the roof staying closed then?
