Preview Round 5 v West Coast Eagles Optus Stadium Sunday 14th April 4pm

[HumanMeatball]

Thanks but you do realise our best midfield is now missing it's 4 main inside ball winners? We're missing our two key forwards, too. And of the remaining inside midfielders, one is a second gamer (his 1st he played 20 minutes) who might not actually be playing due to a rolled ankle, and the other (Dow) also might be out due to an ankle (stood on the actual ball...)

How do you suppose we beat you?

They are properly bad. We win

They are properly bad. We win

They pushed both GWS and Sydney, we're playing them in WA in a game where they'll think they are a chance, they'll be up and about. We're missing MANY, MANY players.

You guys know how to actually play footy.

We dont.

Here's what happens all day:

1. West Coast get the ball somewhere in defence and then run forward in waves.
2. Somewhere just outside the attacking 50, one of the mids ***** up the world's easiest handball/ over-the-top kick to a teammate
3. Your blokes recover the pill, blitz through the witches hats who dont know what "defensive running" is, and put the ball on the uncontested tit of a leading forward 30m out directly in front.
4. Rinse and repeat to a 40+pt win

Surprised by that. Shouldn’t be given the injuries

 

[Growapair]

i get what you're saying but we'd also have a pick 8, pick 14, pick 22 & a pick 34. maybe at least one of them could be a gun although not at this exact stage since they'd all be second year players except for pick 8

so it's not exactly how we'd look

Okay then ... post a list of the players taken with those picks ... and their AFL stats to this point

Lol sorry to laugh at this but that was funny.
You lot are in a crappy spot no doubt. Hopefully it's at least a good game.
We are probably your best shot at getting the W. Have some hope.

Oh absolutely, this is our best chance at a win we've had all year.

But ive watched these numbats play. They are bad at their jobs.

So you mean the uncontested forwards Koschitzke and Lefau? Who, you ask? Exactly.

 

[prodigy]

Injuries suck but I'm excited to see how this goes

Take your pick.

Do you want to get out there on Sunday? Im sure we can find you a lazy 3 goals.

 

[Joker91]

On a side note anyone melting about yze is clueless. If Hardwick had this many injured while coach we would be uncompetitive

We had massive injury lists at stages in 2019 & 2020 and went on to win both flags.

 

[sante]

We can’t take a trick. Some on here will still blame Louie though

 

[RobsJourney]

Steely Green added to squad. Why... Surely Judson Clarke miles ahead of him. Why is he so out of favour?

 

[Timothy Luncheon]

Nankervis, Martin, Dow, Baker
…with Bolton, Graham, Pickett, Sonsie, McAuliffe minutes depending on how they adjust.

It’s hardly Nank Cotch Dusty Dion (Lambert, Edwards) now is it

I wish I had your optimism.

 

[Harry Bosch]

He's injured too

 

[Waca Jr]

Is it too much to ask for a priority pick if bottom 4?

Geez that's an underwhelming addition to the squad.

 

[prodigy]

Yes.

 

[tunksy]

Lol yes much too soon.

irrelevant as we don't know the clubs draft boards, only the recruiters would know and i'm not one of them


as not every recruiter thinks the same, like picking up the superstar tambling over some 1000 goal plodder






so again, think logically !

 

[Growapair]

We had massive injury lists at stages in 2019 & 2020 and went on to win both flags.

Clearly these latest injuries are what is need to happen to spark a run to the premiership this year ...

Seriously though ... backline unchanged is a big positive ... playing well enough to keep us in a lot of games
