Preview Round 13 vs eagles Saturday 4:35 in WA after the bye

[Frank Thring]

We're not beating West Coast over there even without Reid. They have senior quality players like Barass, McGovern, Kelly, Darling, Cripps and Yeo. We have ....urm... Corr?

Our poor young blokes.

 

[WesternRoo]

Reid out helps, but they will get back Waterman, Kelly and possibly Allen. Corr takes Waterman, Chom on Darling and Dawson on Allen.

Their forward line really stretches us and Barrass and McGovern will have a field day the way we just bomb in.

Our only real chance is to get dominance through the middle via Xerri and LDU (Reid out helps) and run and carry the ball.

Saints did this pretty well in the second half and we have the speed to do this, but our fitness levels I have doubts can hold up for 4 quarters.

It’s essential we play a second forward target. This isn’t Pink. Maybe Teakle debuts.

 

[amaz199]

Only way we get anywhere close to winning is if we play well for all 4 quarters.

Eagles won't perform badly especially against lesser teams that haven't played well.

 

[Disco Dew]

Keep this under 6 goals at the end and it might actually feel like a win…

Or just win, that’d be nice

 

[Chadwiko]

We're going to win.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

We're always rubbish after a bye. No chance this week.

Allen will have a field day on Dawson and kick at least 5 goals if he's back.

Hehe! That's funny.... I mean, like yeah, we a going to be rubbish because of the bye.

 

[WesternRoo]

Allen will have a field day on Dawson and kick at least 5 goals if he's back.

I was meaning Kallan who I assume is back for Will (maybe that’s who you mean too).

What other options do we have? Pink, Biggie?

Allen will be a bit underdone.

A lot is going to come down to supply in there.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Facts are facts

 

[amaz199]

We're going to win.

 

[The Dougster]

Am I the only North supporter piss...d off watching Mason Wood taking screamers, kicking clutch goals and dragging the Saints over the line?

Nah. He's still a squib.

 

[The Dougster]

We’ve been here before - the afl are burning the midnight oil trying to work out how to not suspend him.

There’s been numerous times like Cotchin , hall , Dunkley , hamill getting off suspendable actions to play in granny’s

Wasn't Plugger also lucky to play in the 96 granny after a hit on Wallis in the prelim?

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Yeo, Darling, Waterman, Barrass, McGovern will dine out on us, they will think its 2018 again

We are a chance against them in Tassie purely because they might not be interested when they head down there

Outside the box thinking..

Their big backline is one of the best in the league at reading the high ball in and sending it straight out the other way after taking a contested mark.

Put Curtis, Simpkin, RHJ, Zurhaar and Sheezel at the feet of Larkey and tell our midfield to kick a chaos ball in - every time. If you kick a long ball in you get immediately dragged.

They will be too tall and we should be able to run off them for some easy goals and at worst create a stoppage deep in our forward line. The moment Simmo takes a tall out of defence and matches us for pace we revert back to our normal game plan..

 

[The Nostradamus]

Teakle to come in and kick 3 goals

 

[The Dougster]

Teakle to come in and kick 3 goals

I want Payne and his tackling in

 

[nicko74]

Any word on Colby McKercher being available

 

[nicko74]

Allen will have a field day on Dawson and kick at least 5 goals if he's back.

I read somewhere he won't be back until after their bye

 

[My Left Foote]

We're always rubbish.

EFA

 

[speedy]

I've got a feeling about this one... maybe not losing last weekend has raised my optimism?

 

[shintemaster]

Hehe! That's funny.... I mean, like yeah, we a going to be rubbish because of the bye.

If only we could play a game every week not off a bye - we'd be top 4.

 

[King Corey]

Eagles just got done at home. Any chance of complacency from them evaporated there and then.

They will carve us up like a turkey.

 

[Horizons_00]

I think we have only won one game after a bye since they brought it in? And with the state north are in? At their home ground?

Its not happening haha

 

[fusion]

Andrew Dunkley shouldn't have played. They took legal action, which let him play against Carey, and then AFTER the grand final they suspended him for 3 weeks for what he did in the preliminary final.

That's cheating.
