Prelims - Road to the Grandy
Submitted by Jackfrost80 on Tue, 2018-09-18 09:26
Righto. After being measured in my assessment of West Coast’s premiership credentials all season and when you’re one win away from the big dance it’s time to just pin the ears back and dare to dream.
Melbourne are riding a tsunami of momentum at the moment and we’ve seen in the past two seasons that modern teams can ride it all the way but coming over here is a huge stumbling block for them. They stitched us up in round 22 without Kennedy and with Darling getting KO’d in the first 10 mins and this time round will be a whole new beast and I feel we will have too much firepower up forward but we’re going to need Lycett to negate the clean ball to the Dees mids and hit our targets through the corridor because Melbourne kill you on the rebound.
Had to have a chuckle at the flog Melbourne media doing what they do best and that’s act like a bunch of flogs. Neil Mitchell should be happy because if 2000 Dees supporters turn up to Optus Stadium that’d still be 1500 more than they normally get a home game.
Tigers v Pie… what more could you ask for as a footy fan! Both teams are in excellent form and I feel that Tigers have the edge with Collingwood not really setting the scoreboard alight this finals series but you only need to outscore your opposition. I’m tipping Richmond by 20 points and I hope they both smash the feck out of each other!

I reckon our game will be won from the back line with Melbourne's sloppy turnovers. Pies will have a crack but yep Richmond too fresh and rested will knock em off. Pies might start a brawl to get themselves fired up.

well ?? bit like you jack
well ??
bit like you jack ,,,have not gone all in on the eagles getting to the GF to date , with the injuries etc, back of my mind said they might find it hard to do it
however, thay have manged to win 16 of their games this season , some like the port and collingwood games when i thought they where gone they found awayto win at the last gasp so to speak
i think they can beat melbourne at home on sat, but they need to not let melbourne get a run away start , or it will be very hard to shut down their fast run and confidence , kennedy , darling , and the small goal kickers all need to be firing out of the blocks , they cant afford to drop marks or kick shite loads of points in the forward line ... the eagles will be rested, but that may hurt us and form may be off
melbourne have had momentum and good form , but only in the last 5-6 rounds have they been flying imo ..one injury either way can hurt both teams , travel , hard games , will the dees run out of steam on sat and be spent in the second half ??
its going to be a must watch game imo , eagles by less than 3 goals is my guess
pies and richmond ?? pies will be battle weary , tigers fresh , but will they be stale ?? who cares, lol so long as they bang each other around in hard fought bruising game , thats all an eagles supporter can ask ,,,

Eagles must be at the top of their game to win
They have had a mighty season thus far and the belief is certainly there in the playing group.
Crunch time is getting closer!

But chill man. It's all fun poking at each other.
Come on Eagles, didn't even dream we would be anywhere near this at the start of this season. Predicted 6 wins, 10 more was a bonus IMO. Now dare to dream.

Excited
Plenty of nervous poos will be had on Saturday morning if Collingwood has managed to knock off Richmond on Friday night.. Both Melbourne and WC will think they just have to win the Prelim and the Granny is theirs.
I did then the best that I knew how. When I knew better, I did better.

Balls on the line… my
Balls on the line… my prediction for the WCE v Dees final is that the Dees will throw the kitchen sink at West Coast and come out with manic pressure and rebound hard and fast off the half back line when we bomb it long with all Dees players running hard in support. The hot conditions, the unsustainable hard running and the fact that they’ll be running on emotion from the previous few weeks will eventually result in skill errors and allow West Coast to absorb and apply their own pressure and then settle and pick them off when they drop off.

If you keep going at this pace you'll have worn the skin off it by the time its bounce down.
Maybe that's you're plan so you can get Gadsy n Gillo n Andy n Russ around to give u a hand.
Especially Russ he's nice n furious at the moment.

Bullish

Hot Pies!!
2 weeks off in a month proves costly again....
Mason Cox i owe you a sincere apology!!
Two weeks ago you were rank and if i were your coach you wouldnt have played the next week, you redeemed yourself last week against the Giants but sonny you were BOG tonight!!
what was it 8 or ten contested marks, 3 goals??
If I were West Coast i'd be worried, If i were Melbourne well you aint got nothing to lose but you'll be going in against the hot pies who will be favourites and rightly so....
Well done Unc & BJ & all the other fellas with a big wide smile flashing your tooth.....
Richmond will bounce back but they'll lose some quality players to make room for a player in Tom Lynch they dont really need who will cost them plenty...
Reiwold and Caddy and Lynch seems to many to me.....
I said a while back neither Eagles or the Tiges will make it, one down one to go...
Good luck all
