Marsh Series : Eagles vs Essendon Thurs 27/2/20 @7.40pm AEDT

2020 MARSH COMMUNITY SERIES

Round 1 • West Coast Eagles v Essendon

Thursday 27 February 2020 • 7:40 PM (AEDT)

[MINERAL RESOURCES PARK Perth]

BOM forecasts a hot day (34) with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. East wind at up to 25 knots.

There’s a compressed timeline for this one.

Pick the team Tuesday, Fly Wednesday afternoon, Play Thursday Night.

Who will line up?
Will 33 Ham and 12 Cutler get a run,
will 34 Andrew Phillips live up to preseason hype when pitted against NicNat ?
How will we structure our defensive talls with 29 Ambo out?

Blitzers go to town on these questions and many more, but remember, its just a pre-season game.

I would expect full training Monday. So cool those jets until we see how the players pulled up after Friday.

My reactions will be
great win - good but wait and see on second game
win - be confused, wait for second game
loss - read lid on thread for a week, occasional post
bad loss - spam lid on thread for a week

Given our good form last Friday can’t we just play a WAFL team?
This could be scary.

You had me at “spam lid on thread for a week”

Gold Coast murdered Geelong. So I don’t see why we shouldn’t beat West Coast.

Unless they rest 10 of their best 22 we will be thrashed.

Well, they might just do that. Marsh series Game 1 objectives: Try out some of the draftees, and 2-3 year players who are depth. What better team to try that on, but Essendon.

But,but it’s only Marsh series

Can’t wait for the excuses if we do get thrashed
