Hille should do a majority of the ruckwork, he is our number 1 ruckman and dominated when in the middle on Saturday night. The times Paddy was in the ruck seemed to be the times Carlton kicked a majority of their goals, not saying it's Paddy's fault as there were other factors just a fact.

Cox is lacking both fitness and form at present. I wouldn't expect that he will dominate whether forward or in the ruck.84859300 wrote:Watch us get killed when Woosha send Cox forward and leaves him there for 3 quarters. We had absolutely no idea on how to play Sandilands when he went forward last week.
Leaving fletch on a 5'11" player didn't seem to make much sense at the time and if he's continued to be played on the 3rd best forward then we'll have plenty kicked against us.

Plus, we seem to have the habbit of playing guys like that into form against us in the last couple of years

Re: Beating West Coast
It would be a great match-up to see Paddy and Natinui up against each other. I think Hille could wear Natinui down especially at stoppages where he can use his strength.swoodley wrote:Given that Natanui will probably spend most of the time rucking, I would tend to play Ryder as our main ruckman as he has the athleticism to compete that Hille lacks.robrulz5 wrote:Some extra space in the forward line will certainly suit Williams & Reimers who both played well on the weekend.

Re: Beating West Coast
Hille's job should be to brutalise the fijian into thinking he should have taken up a different sport. Nothing less than a full on physical mauling from Hille, even if it costs a few frees, should be his number one aganda.
Re: Beating West Coast
Easier said than done Windy...Natanui is already pretty well built for such a young player and his athleticism enables him to avoid a lot of the physical contact.Windy_Hill wrote:Hille's job should be to brutalise the fijian into thinking he should have taken up a different sport.

Yeah, you're right Swoods - where is Dean Wallis when you need him.

Re: Beating West Coast
When did we last win at Subi? Was it that Elimination final against Freo?
Re: Beating West Coast
I remember we beat Freo 2 years ago around Round 13..where we went on a run in 2008. When McPhee & Schammer clashed. We won by 4 points or something. I think that was it.
Re: Beating West Coast
He certainly has alot of muscle definition but in terms of size he's still not all that big. I'd expect Hille to monster him at stoppages and boundary throw ins.swoodley wrote:Easier said than done Windy...Natanui is already pretty well built for such a young player and his athleticism enables him to avoid a lot of the physical contact.Windy_Hill wrote:Hille's job should be to brutalise the fijian into thinking he should have taken up a different sport.

Re: Beating West Coast
But as swoods said, he will just jump over Hille. They need to lock arms and then Hille can use his muscle. We will also need a 3rd man up, something we rarely use.robrulz5 wrote:He certainly has alot of muscle definition but in terms of size he's still not all that big.

Spot on Rosso, possibly NLM playing in the middle again. He has excellent leap.

third man up rarely wins the ball to advanatage - it tends to be an uncontrolled tap or hit of the footySismis wrote:Spot on Rosso, possibly NLM playing in the middle again. He has excellent leap.
Re: Beating West Coast
We are winning the contested ball, something we have obviously worked very hard on, putting it to a 50/50 may well be the best result.

Re: Beating West Coast
Natanui doesn't ruck that way....he makes an effort to keep away from his opponent so that he can use his jump to get over the top of them.robrulz5 wrote:Most ruck contests around the ground are usually done with the ruckman locking arms anyway.Rossoneri wrote: But as swoods said, he will just jump over Hille.

Weather report for Friday Morning shower or two. Min 16 Max 24
Lots of doom and gloom in the press re the eagles over here.
Worsfold is telling fans to be patient and that they probably won't make the finals this year.
The media is really putting the boots in with regard to the quality of their disposal (especially kicking).
Kerr is struggling and this has been mentioned quite a bit in the media over the last few days.
Lynch has been playing for West Perth and just about everyone except Worsfold can't understand why.
Cox is still trying to regain form and fitness.
Their forward line (apart from Le Cras) can't kick to save themselves.
So much ammunition for them to use on Friday night....we better be switched on because I expect the eagles to come out breathing fire.

Re: Beating West Coast
Going by that, WCE will kick 24.5, Kerr will have 35 touches, Lynch will kick 6.1, Cox will dominate and have 25 hit-outs and 3 goals and their disposal will be about the 80%.swoodley wrote:Weather report for Friday Morning shower or two. Min 16 Max 24

Re: Beating West Coast
Paddy your correct was two years ago we beat Freo, but a very long time since WC I hate hose mofos and you will all hear me giving it to em on Friday. A good early start is a must then most of the Toaster tossers will go home. If our boys stand around like they dont want to be there this week well watch for me cause I will jump the fence and smack their asses
