Changes v Eagles - Preliminary Final

[Viscount Cardwell 181]

To all those who wanted spargo rested, a pox on your house.

To all those who didn't want Melksham 2 years ago, a pox on your house.

To all those who thinks Oscar should be in the twos, a pox on your house.

To all those who thinks ANB wasn't worth being in the firsts, a pox on your house.

To all those who believe this club was no good, A POX ON YOUR HOUSE.

GO DEES

Good news is you can only get pox once.

Compare the pair. We know plus or minus a player or two who will be in our 2018 Preliminary Final Team. Here's the team from 30 years ago including a number of stars but also some players I don't even remember (Bret Bailey?). I think the 2018 team would have the 1988 team covered (which is a huge compliment to John Northey for getting them into the GF).

Baileys claim to fame was a year earlier

What's a pox?

Word on Perth radio is that Lycett might not get up. Couldn't participate in their main session on the weekend.

 Could be mind games to mess with our defensive set up too

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Out: Tyson

In: J. Smith

That would be massive. We need every advantage we can get.

I think it’s something you get when you’ve been near a Collingwood supporter...

Nah, we're better on paper... just need fair umpiring.

The 87 team made a prelim and followed it up with a GF appearance in 88 so they weren't too bad.

A few similarities in the sense that both teams didn't have the greatest of home and way seasons. In '88 we started like a house on fire as I recall then had a mid season slump... (won 7 out of the first 8 and then 6 out of the next 14).

Northey was on the radio the other day and like many here say the 1990 premiership was ours to win.

Wow, that team was so inexperienced.  The average games played would lucky to be over 50.

The only change I would be tempted to make would be

Out: Tyson

In: Hunt

West coast have two very quick small forwards. The length of the ground and the ability to switch with pace. Hunt looked ok for Casey in conditions that were terrible. I would take a risk.

SEN reported Max trained indoors today ?

...Club said he will be going to Perth with the team...

tempted for J Smith for Tyson but gotta keep the team feel running

 

Smith is a part of the year's successes - therefore, a team member with a full deck of cards. He is more potent than Tyson. Therefore, Smith in, Tyson issued a ticket to spectate.

you'd pick a guy who's been out of form all year and was just 'ok' in the vfl? bit late in year to speculate

Gaff, NicNac and Sheppard out is pretty handy

You mean like with Goldsack.

[Clintosaurus 7,849]

No change. Stability is great this time of the season. In 2005 Sydney didn't have a change for about 10 weeks.

no goldsack wasn't out of form, just out of game time like jack viney. goldsack is more of an experienced known quantity too

having said that, goldsack was still a risk. hunt would be a bigger risk (and i'm a hunt fan)

Humour meter off?

Its not the right thread but Im so caught up in the euphoria of success at the minute I ju st wanted to give a shout out to Viney. Hasnt played for half a season and plays wonderfully.

As far as changes maybe Vince for Tyson but I dont think it will happen.

Go you good demons.
