You'd be surprised Woods, Subi oval doesn't dry out as quick as you may think (been on it a few times) and don't buy too much into that weather forecast of 20% chance of rain, it'll be wet all week Wink

They're only one game ahead of us on the ladder. Why does it have to be difficult ?

I would like to see Goldsack bring intense forward line pressure and also play stints on the wing as a defensive midfielder. Goldsack has great run and strength and a booming kick that people forget. For one match he can do a much better job than aish at this point in time IMO. We need to attempt to win this game. Aish can play Brisbane and Carlton. In regards to Cloke. He is still a beast when he is on. The problem is he hasnt been on often. I would like to trade him for Dusty. However, against the Eagles. Travis for Travis. And if the Mongrel Cloke shows up we can win this game!!! He could kick 5 nobody knows what could happen. Its a gamble worth taking. I remember a few years back he banged 5 against the Dockers on the road. And with a good spread of goal kickers we won by around 5 goals. I also remember a brilliant didak goal late in the game. Can anyone recall that goal or have access to the clip??? NEXT WEEK, if we can get 3-4 from cloke 3-4 by fasolo and 3-4 by moore while having a spead of 6-8 midfielders scoring, then there is no reason why we cant win. Confidence is a big thing. Imagine Cloke takes the first mark and bangs one, 45 out directly infront. The man simply has to much to offer now. And playing VFL anzac round surely has to get the mungrel out of him.

A win this week would put us in the 8 depending on %
If we play well this weekend and lose its not the end of the world for sure. I can still find 9 or 10 wins from our remaining games which would give us 11 or 12 for the season which is about where I thought would be w good result
Winning this one is really worth 2 wins like beating a Richmond (I base that on teams who made the 8 and finished in front of us last year) beating them along with beating sides we beat last year gives us a chance/hope of making the 8 or at least improving our ladder position from 2015

Not sure how Cloke can dominate in the VFL with the ineptitude that is meant to be delivering the ball to him. However we do play the Blues next who are also crap but Jamison will be on Cloke, so nothing easy. Then Sandringham whose team is ok. Might be a tad hard to kick bags when the ball is down the other end.

We're nowhere near their standard, even on an off day. Weagles by 30 if they are off or 70+ if on.

If we bring our intensity to the contest we can win.

Pies by 15 points.

IM a realist, we probably cannot win this, its in Perth, and be honest, very few sides win over there, even the piss and poop. I will be more than happy so long as we have a red hot go, and go down fighting by around three too four goals.
