Always Right Match Committee - Round 15 Vs West Coast Eagles 2021

Why? Rain will help us curb the Ariel dominance of Kennedy/darling/Allen/barrass/McGovern/Nic Nat and give us a better chance.

Its true. Mermaids love water.

The bane of every The Little Mermaid enthusiast I'm sure.

I've completely fried my brain thinking about the ruck situation and I've resolved not to worry about it anymore, in the hope we'll just manage whatever is thrown at us by a committed midfield performance.

It if it is going to be wet then we have to leave out Schache. I'm not against playing him at all, but I don't want to play him in a game where the odds are already stacked against him.

Nic Nat will still be fearsome in the wet.
Do a Keath and let him take it and tackle or obstruct.

Nic Nat chat on here resembles kids on Elm Street chatting about Freddy.

What's the concern? The height or the quality in McGovern and Shuey?

I think you forgot Kelly

McGovern, Shuey and, as below, I also forgot Kelly. Vardy coming in as a second ruck when our second ruck is playing first ruck also doesn’t bode well.

WC would have to be pretty much at full compliment with these ins. I wasn’t confident beating them before (with the Perth factor and that forward line), but now I am more than a bit concerned. Hopefully it’s just bulldog brand anxiety induced pessimism.

Meh. Our players are better than their players.

We’ll win.

Even though some of our losses have been a bit shattering, I genuinely believe we're a better side than we were last time we faced WCE. We're an evolving mix of players and spots have been hard fought for with very high turnover. If we play Richards this week that leaves Hayes, Jamarra, and Bedendo as the only players we haven't played this year and that's completely insane for a side sitting second on the ladder, and says to me we are getting confident in who we can put on the table at any time against anyone.

As I said above, I don't really care about the ruck side of things. If our midfield shows up we nullify it, and if we all play our role we'll make it really hard for any team because irrespective of some weaknesses in defence, the way we stop opposition movement is excellent over the course of a game because of the system we deploy.

We win this game and we are two of four in a segment of the season I thought we'd be one of four, and still making the top two. Brisbane winning tonight was fantastic for us, I can't wait to see how we bring it to the table this week.
