Darling will be praying Wilkie goes to Allen. But Coff can deal with Darling if he plays on instinct and concentrates 100%.

Good luck guys. We are fielding a sub standard team due to injuries so you can’t be annoyed who gets picked especially hunter. See this year out as best we can, get more games into fringe players and hope some rise to the occasion

I would think Kennedy will be taken by Howard. The deeper of the 2 between Allen and Darling will get Wilkie and the other Claravino.
Webster to Leapin Liam
Coffield/Connelly gets Cripps .

Dunstan goes to Gaff or Yeo I would think, Kelly too quick.

What they cant do though is bomb long into the forward line or McGovern could break the record for intercept marks. Lower the eyes and change direction or even scrubber kick into the forward line.

if the good WC turn up could be looking at a 5 goal loss, if the WC of 2020 and parts of 2021 turn up who knows

I live in Perth and Accuweather App says 2pm-6pm on Sat will be 17° with 0 chance of rain.

When you factor in the crowd noise prompting the umps, you get a free kick tally of 13 to 27, with at least 5 dodgy frees in front of goal for the Nose Candy Clowns.

Watch Kennedy push Howard in the back 6-7 times and take a 'legal' mark.
It's happened not just to us, either.
And at the other end, King constantly shoved in the back for no free kick either.

And people say that the maggots are impartial . :roll: :roll:
Getting upset and complaining about umpiring decisions in a game that hasn't even happened yet.

Classic.

Rained today in Perth. Off n on, light showers for a bit.
Forecast still says tomorrow 17° in the arvo zero rain.
Are we prayin for rain? Then the taller Eagles will be suspect.
Norf beat em in the wet

Not crystal ball gazing at all. Just being realistic.

Hunter to take centre bounces when Paddy resting (hopefully not a lot of goals scored) then sit in Kennedy's leading lanes to either block or fall Mumford style on JK when he is in play. Just a thought. Alternatively run straight into Kelly. Often. Being cooped up @Joondalup should have the boys suitably fierce. Go Sainters.

But as it stands is very green

What’s going on with Bytel?
Not even an emergency?!
Really, you are now using parenthesis to safeguard your ego? He's still a kid FFS!

Very are very short and cannot afford to lose the centre. I've confidence Paddy will do what he does best & Hunter to leave nothing in the shed. The Eagles mids need an early reminder why they have been missing. That's up to Steele, Crouch & Jones.

Very are very short?

As Ron Burgundy said
“That doesn’t make sense”

BTW
We are actually taller down back
197cm Clavarino has replaced 192cm Highmore
190cm Coffield has replaced 184cm McKenzie

Be interesting to see what they do with Coffield
Will he play wing or will he play in his usual position at HB and either Sinclair or Hill go onto a wing?

Really? You are a specimen when it comes to human conversation. Compare our height to the Eagles.

I suspect Coff to be on the Half Back line. Why would he play wing? He'll take Highmore's spot, surely?

Do you take the p1ss deliberately or is it just a gift B.M.?

Natanui is the most over-rated player in the history of AFL.
He jumps high - big deal. Nice party trick.

We won't lose this game in the ruck.

Their big-bodied forward line is the worry.

This is true (the over-rated part), we need pressure on their mids so their forwards do not get quality supply. We need Hunter to continually hit Nic Nats body, he won't beat him but he needs to make him hurt.

I think it will be Nic Nat who will be crashing into Hunter and dishing out the hurt - he will jump all over him

After Mumford, Nic is the most physical ruckman in the AFL

Most likely but you can't run away, you can't surrender. Hunter must at least make Nic Nat think he's in for a fight. What's the alternative?

Rubbish. There’s no way we’ll get 13 free kicks today.
