No changes for mine…

Flip to drop himself, as he needs a rest.

We’re basically playing a WAFL side.

We will beat them regardless of changes.

They can’t play a full game.

No changes.

Back our guys in to beat West Coast.

Sensational time to get West Coast and North.

Hopefully we can get the wins and get some players cherry :cherries: ripe for the scum.

A “rest” is generous.

Probably but do we play two rucks or elevate another players as sub?

Need to see Bryan. Two rucks have been good for us.

HS listed Davey as an injury. His shoulder? I didn’t see the incident.

Guelfi was on managed minutes. But I think they did that for Stringer too before the brought him in.

Would imagine Shiel plays given Scott basically said he could have played but he (Scott) didn’t want to it Shiel wasn’t 100%.

Hopefully Kelly is good to go too.

INS - Guelfi, Shiel, Kelly
OUTS - Davey (injured), Snelling and Hind.

Edit - just saw @aboods post. And have to agree. Phillips out, Bryan in.

I’m not inclined to rush guelfi in, give him another run in the 2s. I do think we need an extra tall forward though. It’s time

Phillips went to a Zac Clarke level.

If you were going to give Bryan/Voss a crack, now is certainly the time.

Davey was fairly irrelevant once again, so happy for him to be replaced by… anyone.

Walla 6 tackles. I’d keep him in.

I don’t want to read any talk in this thread or elsewhere in coming days about “resting” players for this game.

  1. We are 3 weeks away from the bye.
  2. We lost this same fixture last year, purely due to now retired Josh Kennedy kicking 6.
  3. We should feel at least semi-confident prior to this one, hopefully the momentum from tonight carries over to Optus Stadium next week. I think we really owe the Eagles a drilling but depends what sort of mindset we are in… under the ten week sample size under Brad Scott, I expect us to be on our game.

How nice to come into a game with a longer break than our opponent for the first time in what feels like forever.
