Changes for Round 16 - West Coast Eagles

[CJK]

Surprised this is not up yet. No change is the consensus?

For me;

Out: Brandon Jack

No changes for me.
West coast eagles at home is never easy.

I would rest K Jack. Looked pretty sore.

In ????? Mitchell - No, Rohan - No, ROK - No, Towers - No, gee not many midfield runners left. Membrey could be chance but I read reports on the Reserves loss that he was not very good.

[Matt80]

I think there will be no changes and our key forward line has the potential to dominate the Eagles backline as Brown is out and Glass is retired.

I would love to see Sam Reid do a job on Nic Nat and Pyke to ruck with Cox like he did with Mumford.

No change for me - maybe do the usual sub swap around trick however?

[Flying South]

I'm not giving up on Membrey after one quite week. Goodes knee could do with a rest and the big paterson stadium ground won't help. Mitchell on stand by for any midfield injuries.

[Doctor]

Well we're the Sunday game, so I suspect it'll be the same XXII who fly over with the additions of Bo, Membrey and a mid, presumably Mitchell, as cover.

2 rucks and Goodesy has a break (T Dericxs to play)

K Jack will not miss a minute by choice! Mitchell if needed.

Doubt it will be Tom (or Towers) as they need the game time after missing a few weeks with injury. 2 emergencies is generally enough unless they have someone seriously in doubt. With the rookies a no-go zone at the moment and Rohan's injury yet to be diagnosed, it could be someone like Lockyer who's playing better as of recently and might get to see his family at the same time.

Horse said TDx might play. But they are talking up Goodes beating the record for most games by an Indigenous player. Swans can't take WCE for granted either. I don't think it'll be this week that he's rested.

membrey was subbed out at half time cos he was the emergency. thats why he only kicked one; not because he had a bad game

Happy to hear that Lockyer is finally coming on. Apart from LRT, is he now our best Reserve's defensive tall?

[Mountain Man]

With Cox and Natanui both played last week, I would not be surprised if we also had 2 ruckmen played

The thing with Goodsey is, he can't/won't kick through the ball anymore. (That's with the right foot I mean) I assume due to his knee.

He had about 10 kicks on Saturday and every one was a little dinky nothing kick. The only time he actually gave the ball a thump, was his missed snap on the left.

I hope they rest him this week and give Membrey a run....But I bet they don't.

You might be disappointed Ernie in that Horse said today that Goodesy will play his 341st game on Saturday and that he is amazed at how he is going - doesn't seem at all fazed by his 'little dinky nothing kicks'. So barring the unforeseen, AG will be lining up v West Coast.
