This is our game to lose
Yep. The changes certainly put pressure on the incoming players to perform. A loss here would easily be our worst for the year given the approach of selections and cutting of players putting in genuine shifts.

Eagles by 21.
 
I think people are forgetting Collingwoods inaccurate kicking made things look a lot better this week.

Was like 24 shots to 17 and pies kicked like 5 OOF.

If we give Sydney close to 30 shots at goal we are going to have to basically go at a goal every 2 i50s to compete as we dont seem to get down there too often.

See how we go but I dont like Friday night games.

Saying that I think even if we lose most people will be marginally satisfied with the same levels of competing as last week

Some signs Syd might be wobbly only just getting over North at home but still think because they always seem to beat us I'll say Syd by 22
 
Teams are on the 2nd post.

Eagles lose Gov, Edwards and Naitanui but gain Shuey Yeo Kelly and Cripps (West, O'Neill and Waterman omitted)

Swans lose Franklin and Kennedy and bring in Logan McDonald
 
The selected team is structurally better than any we have seen in a long time.

Query lies in the conditioning of the senior players who are returning and the ability of H.Edwards to cover for McGovern, who has arguably been the best player in the competition over the opening rounds.


For the first time we get to see the combination of Rioli, Ryan, Cripps and Jones together in a match.

Yep, good to see a strong team on the park again, even though we are still missing 6 of our best.
No excuses today.
 
Jamie Cripps plays game 200 today. I haven't heard a word from the club.

The team is playing for some redemption today. Lost by 92 points last time they played Swans in R16 last season, and WC only scored 26.

We were at full strength then too with Yeo, Kelly, Shuey, Gaff, Sheed, NN in the midfield. Sheed picked up 43 disposals!

Hopefully the new game plan clicks today because we'll be shit on toast if it doesn't.
 
Ep2018 saying we will win, Gov out, our record against the Swans, milestone game.

a lot of warning signs there peeps.

But I got tickets in a box so giddy up!
 
Has anyone parked in East Perth on gameday? plenty of room or do you have to get there hours in advance.
Not that keen on getting jammed in a train
