I'm astounded that we are playing both Gaff & Sheed, also that Jack Williams is the sacrificial lamb and not Bailey. It's going to pour down you'd think that Jack would suit the conditions better. Where the **** is Culley? what else does he have do to?
I’m not surprised that Bailey is being preferred over Jack, but I’m still a little disappointed. Bailey is the senior player, has really performed over the past two years and now has an opportunity to play the position the club actually wants him to play. That said, Jack’s improvement this year has been great and I’ve been enjoying his development. Possible 10-year full forward here.
 


I've created a monster
'Cause nobody wants to see Chesser no more, they want Gaffy, he's chopped liver
Well, if you want Gaffy, this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of slow mixed with some shit kicking
Some punch that'll send a Docker quicker
Than a shock to Royal Perth Hospital
By the doctor when I'm not properly corralling
When I'm guardin' the space while the team is losing (Hey!)
You waited this long, now stop debating
'Cause I'm back, I'm a ball magnet and hittin' it hard at training
I know that you got a job, match committee
But the form of Dom Sheed is complicating
So the West Coast Beagles won't let me be
Or let me be me, stay in the B-team
They tried to shut me down on BigFooty
But it feels so empty without me
So come on and dip, bum on the seats
**** that, Gaff on your lips and Gaff on your ****
And get ready, 'cause this kick's about to drop short
I just dropped Jayden Hunt (**** you, Noah Longy!)
 
With Flynn and Gaff coming in and the outs excepting Hunt the average age of the side is going to be way up this week.

Kinda contrary to what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.
 
On what basis do we deserve this level of winning entitlement? The North game maybe, but seriously, short memories.

We’ve been due a “down” home game, I’ve leant towards the Saints winning and have tipped them as such (before these selections).

The Norf game is a non negotiable win.

Concerning selections to say the least. Ok with Gaff coming in on the back of solid enough performances, but would have hoped Dom could have done with a freshen up with Culley and Trew replacing.

Hope for a late change or two…

But a Que sera sera view tbh. It’s Simmo’s job on the line, if he wants to back in his guys, then he’ll have to face what happens thereafter :)
 
I’m going to focus on the one positive to come out of selection which is Matt Flynn. He’s done very well to rehab and play at this stage of the season from a very significant injury. Despite playing only one WAFL game for the year, I’m backing him in to give Rowan Marshall a bath for three quarters until he is subbed out.
 
I'll withhold my disbelief at Gaff+Sheed in together until the last minute, in case there is a late change.
If we win, not so bad, but Gaff +Sheed don't get any faster?
If we lose, the floodgates will open...

Gaff is back
Back again
Andy's back
Tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back...

2 Dom Sheeds jog round the outside, round the outside, round the outside.
 
The fully paid up Eagles members of this board, of which I am not, should be outraged at selection this week.

Boohemian is spot on. Fringe players rotting in the 2s after showing form as required at the expense of underperforming experienced veterans is complete shittery.

The purple circle is in full effect. I blame McGovern. Not sure why
 
If you're trying to rationalize the team selection on the basis of a slightly improved weather forecast for Saturday bear this in mind;

The ground was slippery before it rained. We've gone through a record 8 month dry spell and there's still been plenty of blokes going arse over tit. We've had about 60mm of rain this week with more to come.
There's a soccer match being played at the venue tomorrow night.
Combine those factors and you could be looking at a cabbage patch by Sat arvo.

So we've done the sensible thing at the selection table and picked;
4 tall forwards
3 tall defenders
A ruckman one week back from a 3 month injury
Dropped 2 kids, brought back Gaff and retained Sheed.

Saints by 20.

We’re 7 months older and 9 games more experienced on average compared to last week
 
Concerned about Gaff being in. Happy to see Flynn back. Petch helps with the speed issue bringing Gaff back. Looking forward to seeing HEdwards as he has been going well in the Beagles. Nervous given our last performance and with BWilliams going forward and Flynn in the ruck but it will be good to see how it goes. Reckon it will be close win hopefully for the Eagles.

[Verse 3: Sheed]
A tisket, a tasket, I'll go tit-for-tat wit'
Anybody who's talkin', "This sh%^, that sh%^"
Culley, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than the little Perth Demon ba@#$!@#
And Trew? You can stay in a level below me!
You 26 wearing spud, blow me
You don't know me, you're too old, let go
It's over, nobody listens to Simmo
Now, let's go, just give me the signal
I'll be there corraling and pointing though
I've been dope, kicking GF goals to bring hope
Ever since I turned myself into a symbol
But, sometimes, the sh%^ just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm the king
But it's just me, I'm just a dream
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the best thing since Cuzzy you see!
To do my role so selflessly
And use credits to stay in the team
There's a concept that works
Twenty million other rookies emerge
But no matter how many mids are free
The team’d be so empty without me
