The Team vs the Eagles

Jerret not named in the VFL, Bellcho and Bird both named on the ground.

Well spotted! So I guess heā€™s an emergency in case Zaha or Hep canā€™t make it to the line?

Was is das " Woosh" ?

Iā€™d think itā€™d be Zaka. Bird would be more like for like if Heppell didnā€™t play. I donā€™t for a second think that Heppell will miss. Heā€™s had 2 stitches put in, hardly life threatening. May play with a glove or bandage at worst youā€™d think.

Seriously good analyst. Love these previews.

he nailed it last week with the margin

I hope Zaharakis plays. With Eleni Glouftsis umpiring heā€™ll have a picnic.

Their only win of true note has been Port Adelaide away, very good win. Beat a slightly undermanned Bulldogs at home and an ordinary out of form Norf team at Etihad.

Club IMO retains the tag being the biggest bunch of flat track bullies in the league. Their ability to specialise the long and the skinny Subiaco ground, in front of a whinging, partisan crowd, I reckon the AFL should just pencil them in for 7/8th every year so they can bow out interstate, first week of September and be done with.

Wonā€™t be easy but is a definitely winnable. Legit.

WTF does he mean with that line about Mitchell.
Surely heā€™s not suggesting we will be ā€œcourteous & respectfulā€ of that little fake-Brownlow corking caaarnt!!!

Key to the game will be our switch into the corridor, if we bring our kicking boots we can open them up with our hard running smalls. If we kick like we did vs the Dees weā€™ll legit get done by 60+

Thatā€™s the joke.jpg

I am ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  bricks for this game, seen to many poor games at Etihad recently, hopefully the boys adjust.

But I would love nothing more than to see the team get stuck into that little arrogant tossbag Mitchell, both physically and mentally all day. Let him know that he is a sloppy seconds Brownlow medallist, who isnā€™t good enough to shine Jobeā€™s boots. We all know who the rightful winner is.

And I hope he reacts so that the world can see what a two faced ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  he really is. By now his West Coast team mates will have figured out what a ā– ā– ā– ā–  bloke he is to have around off field, so they shouldnā€™t help him out much.

And to hopefully top off a big win, Tippa absolutely polaxes him late in the last with a well timed bump, putting him over the boundary line and leaving him crumpled in the gutter like the dog that he is. But this time just ā€œWalla Waltzesā€ off without helping him up, like nothing happened. So people can also see what a weak prick he is.

According to the vfl team sheet Merrettā€™s name has been crossed out. So he is the live standby emergency in case somebody has to come out of the afl side in a late change.

That idea has Merrett.

Had to be on standby for Zaka who been sick during week.

If so McGrath into midfield & Jerrett to HBF perhaps.

Robbo in the Sun this morning says the Essendon Midfield has been ā€œstinking it up all yearā€

Harsh.

If such an assessment stings the mids into proving him wrong, and it helps us win today. I am OK with it !
