Game Day Round 9 vs. WCE, Marvel, 1:00pm Sun 12/05

[unplugged]

Did it in the third quarter and kept playing

 

[BuildEmUp]

You really ignore history when teams play each other? As in completely ignore it?

Don't get me wrong, history obviously doesn't 100% guarantee results, but it can be a decent indicator. Bogey sides and such have been a thing in footy for a long time.

Some teams/players also just seem to lift when they play certain teams.

Again, I understand not relying completely on history, but I don't think you can completely ignore it either. I won't go as far as to say I think West Coast will win, but I feel confident enough to put it in the danger game pile.

To me as far as this team's mental attitude to this season it's a massive test. A truly switched on Collingwood absolutely smashes them.

A complacent Collingwood still celebrating the Carlton win barely scrapes by or even loses.

Danger game? what what is a danger game , another term bandied around with repetiveness that is quite annoying as it is dragged out by someone every bloody week. ( It is more annoying than my pet hate of those who keep writing would OF instead of Would've which is short for would HAVE - the correct words ) I am gusesing it means a game that you might lose when you dont expect it. Every game then , by definition, is a danger game, as no team goes into a game "expecting" to lose. If Pies lose against Weagles , its not because it is a danger game, it will be because they played crap , and went away from all that they have done in past 4 weeks ... and it is not a massive test Weagles are getting better but are still weak adn have lost their two best players for this year, you play the game plan well, and you win , doesnt matter by how much .. Complacent? why would they be Complacent?

F*ck.

Our two midfield bulls. And our two (and only) KPF. Injuries happen. But that’s not an ideal spread….

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Checkers doing his hammy during the game completely explains his performance

Absolutely sucks to lose him for 3 weeks when there’s no McStay

Reef surely isn’t ready to be the main target. Do we risk Kreuger?

 

[HFF]

Good opportunity for someone to step in
Reef and even Krueger

Our 2 best pressure forwards also.

 

[Harry O]

Eagles now a 50/50 game and Crows probably 30/70 chance of winning

 

[Jen2310]

Ash v kreuger.

Or billy forward. But do we want to take him from defence?

 

[stormskye]

Our 2 best pressure forwards also.

I forgot.

Oh dear god

 

[Harry O]

Ash v kreuger.

Or billy forward. But do we want to take him from defence?

Allen and Waterman out this week

Darling and a resting ruck up forward - so can probably release someone

 

[unplugged]

Reef for Mihocek I would've thought.

Unless they're going to give AJ another chance...

 

[BuildEmUp]

Yes

 

[Ctracks]

3rd quarter...now that it's mentioned, I remeber one bit of play at centre half forward, a loose ball and Weitering picking it up and turning so slowly, but getting away from Mihocek - checkers didn't even chase - seemed so odd especially with his chase down after Jordan gave up on the chase against Port.

 

[Chameleon75]

Looks like reef is getting a block of games

 

[BuildEmUp]

Good opportunity for someone to step in
Reef and even Krueger

And Johnson

 

[nahnah]

I would play Frampton on McGovern this week, if waterman us out surely Howe can take whoever partners Darling for them

 

[Ctracks]

Maybe Howe forward, Reef up the ground, Cox resting ruck deep forward and Dean in defence?

 

[Exambolor]

If Freddy comes in he just has to last three weeks before he gets injured

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Ash v kreuger.

Or billy forward. But do we want to take him from defence?

For West Coast specifically, do we throw Moore forward?

West Coast don’t have a tall forward line so we could be too tall with Moore and Frampton both back.

Have Reef as the sub for back up just in case

 

[HFF]

Sorry forgot about AJ
He has to play now and as a forward

 

[Ctracks]

Will be interesting/fun/exciting to watch different pieces in different spots.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Well
Out checkers in Krueger
Out Schultz in reef
Out mcreery in Sullivan
Out sidebum in Richards

I wouldnt mind that, would be fun to watch for one game
