Game Day West Coast Eagles vs The Windy Hill Injectors (A.K.A the return of Brad Scott week)

[Keys]

Genuinely curious as to what the crowd turnout will be like. Chilly Saturday night but clear with no chance of rain. Bombers have a massive following in WA so will probably swell the figure a bit much like the Carlton game.

Still think they might be lucky to crack 40,000 though with how disgruntled a number of WCE members are.

I think it’ll be mid 40’s. Similar to the Carlton game

Essendon have a big following and there’ll be plenty come out expecting a soft kill. Carlton had a lot of fans at our game and you could tell with the noise when they scored. Essendon will be the same

 

[Hook461123]

I’m goin. Not expecting miracles, just hoping there’s a bit more intent this week.

Team looks a bit steadier with Yeo, Barrass and Hurn. Interested to see where Yeo plays. Maybe they can finally implement the Yeo/Ginbey mid/def switches.

Essendon by 40

 

[FKASC]

NN late out

 

[Trouto]

Yeo straight onto the ball.

Oh goody!

should we start a sweep on what time into the game he breaks down?

 

[MrWoollie]

should we start a sweep on what time into the game he breaks down?

Initial injury 6 minute mark Q2.
All declared OK.
Returns to field.
Either gets second injury or exacerbates initial injury at 5 minutes to 1/2 time.
Not seen in second half.

Have a boo for me will you

 

[Rivoroo17]

Honestly no point resting Yeoey in the defensive half, will basically be the same as being on ball cause we're never getting it out of our d50. Club has lost their mind not playing him in wafl.

Agreed, they’ve tried a few times to bring players straight in and it hasn‘t worked so well. Happy to see him play and just hoping he gets through

 

[Jandamarra]

Did you know?

Of the 6 WCE players that kicked goals in our R15 victory over Essendon last year, only one has been named on the field for tomorrow’s game.

J Waterman.

The players missing kicked 15 of our total 16 major scores.

And might I just say, what a surprise, not only has our availability turned around, but absolutely nobody is under notice. Truly a blessed day.

Darling, on the other hand, displayed his aerial prowess, soaring above his opponents to clunk breathtaking marks and convert them into valuable majors.

Not to be outdone, the Eagles' defensive unit stood tall against Essendon's attacking onslaught. The ever-reliable Jeremy McGovern

We extend our admiration and respect to the Essendon Bombers, who fought valiantly throughout the match. Their relentless pressure and never-say-die attitude made for an enthralling contest.

This triumph serves as a reminder of the incredible journey the West Coast Eagles have embarked upon. With each victory, our bond grows stronger, and our aspirations soar higher. We look forward to the challenges that lie ahead and the opportunity to etch our name in AFL history once again.

Go Eagles!

Well judging from the turnout to the preview thread crowd numbers will be down.

for doing a flying knee into Ben Cousins's hip and not even giving away a free.



Fast forward to now and their captain is a little hair-pulling bitch and Brad Scott is crying in the coaches box. This club has been packed with despisable campaigners their entire history, not only do I hope they lose, I hope they all catch crabs from the change rooms.

 

[bunderson]

My tickets doing the same....hopefully just a glitch and no issues getting in.

lets hope we see some steaming passages of play...

Oh I'm certain we'll serve up a heap of steamers, I guarantee it.

Look we're very bad at the moment

But this the typical game that the Bomber will lose.

Eagles under the line is a great bet

Windy Hill Injectors, so right. Wew dont want to Reid too much into it though.
