Oh, what a shame.

That means we only have to contend with Cox, Darling, NickNat, Kennedy and Hill! Sobers you up doesn't it. LRT to play back next week.Originally Posted by swanspant12

Great news!
Kennedy isnt back until the derby match for the coast.
Really fortuitous timing for us. We would have to give ourselves a real chance to win this one. Darling is their only regular tall forward now. They may have to play Mitch Brown as a forward or bring in the rookie Fraser Mcinnis. Mummy and Pyke become real keys to the game as the containment of Cox and Natinui become critical.
The Eagles have very good midfield depth, but Shuey is a big loss. He's probably been their most damaging midfielder this year. Priddis will rack up possessions as usual, and suspect we will put a hard tag on Kerr.
Will be interested to hear what the verdict is on Beau Waters' knee complaint as well. They could really be down on some A-grade personnel. Almost enough to offset their home ground advantage.
And they have to contend with Goodes, Jack, Kennedy (the real one-not the west coast knock off), Jetta, Richards, the Mummy-Pike duo and a newly flying Reid.
Not an easy game by any stretch but we are in good form and are more than capable of beating them.
And we've wont the past 5 against them. Bunnies.
He ate more cheese, than time allowed
I think well definetly win the midfield battle in this match. Theyll get the chocolates with their tall forward line but if we can win the midfield and get it to jetta and jack to run the lines and give good service to a resting mummy, goodesy and reid we can be a real chance here.
Our Midfield: Mcveigh, Jack, Kennedy, Bird, Jetta, Bolton, Hannebery
West Coast: Rosa, Gaff, Priddis, Kerr, Selwood.
We got lucky.
Cox really has me worried. Didn't see his game against North but sounds like he is back to his best. Will take a team effort from our back six when he is resting forward I think.
Presumably Pyke will ruck against Natanui. Pyke is going to have to be on his toes. If Nat gets the ball he's so explosive I don't think even Pyke will be able to catch him.
I wouldn't call us favorites but we are in with a chance. Subi usually suits us (despite what the media think).
Extremely important game to win this week. So any help will do. 4 points are 4 points.
The next two weeks will make it very interesting with the Collywobbles playing the Cats then Hawks.
Add another to the list - Beau Waters
