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

[muttley45]

Didn't we beat weagles last time we played them over there, 2 or 3 years ago ?

Played them over there late last year and lost by 5 points from memory

 

[the big lebowski]

Simmo said neither waterman or Kelly certain for this week. Waterman appears to have a shoulder issue and may need a reco, but may play and see how it goes. He’s deemed more likely than Kelly.

 

[The Dougster]

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

Circuit breaker perhaps.

Cheers, had to check if my memory was failing me, it was actually rd 17 2021, we won by 10 pt's and Sleevo had 38 disposals

Supposedly bad weather with 15-35m expected on the weekend - we go small as ns play contested players like Greenwood and Phillips

It rained last time we beat them there

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

I’d much rather:

Corr - Waterman
Chom - Allen
Dawson - Darling

 

[Possession]

It's kind of sad that I'm looking out for rain and some big potential outs (Reid, Waterman, Allen, Kelly?) to get us over the line against a team as wobbly as the Eagles, but you have to take what you can get, I suppose?

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

With the weaknesses of our forward line it all comes down to how our mids stack up against theirs:

Xerri Sheezel Wardlaw LDU (Powell, Shiels) with Scott and Kerch on the wings…

Vs

Williams Sheed Ginby Kelly with Chesser and Hunt on the wings.

If our mids show up and have defensive support from our forwards, this may well just be our first win. Or if we underestimate them, it could be a 60-point thumping.

Reid and Allen won’t play.

If Waterman and Kelly are fit then West Coast will win this comfortably.

 

[franjon]

Nah, I'm happy for him. It wasn't his fault he left, but he wasn't getting the best out of himself with us.

This. I am pissed off, but not with him. If we'd have had the foresight to play him other than an undersized key forward and instead utilized the attributes he had as a junior, and was apparently drafted for - speed, overhead ability and ground level skill instead of continually playing him in a position he wasn't suited to, he may well still have been here. His injuries didn't help, but the fact that he was turfed out without even exploring the aforementioned is a case of getting what we deserve. No issue at all.

 

[giantroo]

Still no Colby.

 

[Horizons_00]

Still no Colby.

2 weeks curse

 

[The Nostradamus]

so likely no Colby for 1 more week

Out: Scott, laz and pink
In: Simpkin, Hardeman and teakle

Maybe wilphil in for shiels

 

[Rod Stroker]

No Payne?

Get. Rid. Of.

Another wasted number 1 pick.

Bring back Noble?

 

[giantroo]

No Kelly or Allen, Waterman still a chance to return, Simmo 'hopeful'

 

[the_cleaner]

expecting north to do what they do best this weekend!

what is it we do best you ask?

bounce back out of form teams right back into form! weagles by 6-7 goals.

 

[the big lebowski]

Wet weather - I think we are a chance here


Out Dawson, Shiels, Taylor, Lazz

In Dawson, WAP, Simpkin, Greenwood

 

[Disco Dew]

I dunno mate. I get a feeling we'll win either way.
