Their midfield is extremely s h i t
If he truly believes that hes a fk head.
Im the most pessimistic, negative bastard on the planet who will tip us to lose at the drop of hat and not even Im pessimistic this week.
We’re not losing at home at our beloved Marvel Stadium to the worst away team in the comp.

King is going to do his arse again chasing his loses by backing a rank underdog in the hope it gets up. A total hail mary
Him tipping WCE on TV is just an attempt at wishing it into existence because he doesn’t want to lose his house.
hard to seperate whether that’s what he believes versus going for the headline and getting reaction/clicks
if he’s right - then he’s got bragging rights for a period
if he’s wrong, he can just blow it off as a whatever and move on to next week as that stuff doesn’t stick

Doesn’t matter how bad we play, Eagles cannot win in Melbourne.

I’m not sure I’d be putting any of our important players on a plane to QLD to play VFL.
Anyone know if Menzie played back or forward in match sim today?

Dropped into training today with my two kids who I’m trying to indoctrinate before we move back to Australia next year. They loaded up on bomber gear and settled in to watch what all the fuss was about. Some observations from the short match play.
Duursma seemed to be running freely and picked up plenty of the pill, looks good to go.
My 14 yo was keen to see Tsatas who she has adopted as her favorite player and told me to tell you all to lay off him for a while, I tend to agree. The kid needs some support. Unfortunately we couldn’t see him anywhere so hopefully he only has a minor niggle but given the backlash on various social media it would not be beyond the realms that he may need a mental break.
The guy that surprised me in match play was Menzie and I’m not a massive fan, but he was everywhere and seemed to be settling into more of a wing/ half back role. His ball use is excellent when up the field and I remember that being the case in his first game with us when he came in on as a sub onto a wing.
Setterfield also seemed to be moving well, whereas Hobbs spent time with the moonboot duo of El Hawli and Baldwin.
Draper was running about but not getting it much and Caddy took a couple of nice grabs up forward.
The disturbing thing,…set shots. They continued to miss from 30 meters out, a couple of posters and a couple that weren’t close. Gresham a culprit but it was fairly well spread acorss the group. Langford seemed to have his radar adjusted though after a couple of poor weeks.
All up a decent session with a lot of voice but god I hope they can iron out those set shots before Sunday.

No surprises there.
Sitting next to his best mate Adam Simpson at the footy last Sunday with beer in hand at some Norf reunion who this week is up against his coaching nemesis in Brad Scott.
He legit has the mind of an 11 year old.

Good write up. However Tsatas was there, was wearing no 11 today.

It’s likely Scott doesn’t think that Draper will get any material benefit playing VFL. Like Ridley he is happy for him to just come straight back into the seniors.
The potential upset of the round for me is Gorth vs the Demons. I think we beat West Coast. I think King is still ■■■■■■…

Ridley did play a half of VFL.
And in that half showed why it was a complete waste of time him doing so. Was a mile above the level.

We only just beat them a few weeks ago. Why does anyone think winning is a sure thing?
We have been in poor form. It’s a 50/50 game.
Forgot about that!!
So the goalkicking culprit was actually Tsatas and not Gresham?
