Where and when: Optus Stadium, Friday July 12, 6.10pm AWST
What it means for West Coast: It’s the proverbial ‘eight-point game’ for the Eagles, who could tighten their grip on second spot and move two wins clear of one of their rivals.
What it means for Collingwood: A chance to put the brakes on the runaway train the season is fast becoming after three losses in five games. Upsetting West Coast in Perth would relieve the building pressure.
The stat: West Coast has won the past four clashes – three of them at the MCG – by an average of 19.5 points. The Pies haven’t kicked more than 11 goals in any of those games.
The match-up: Nic Naitanui v Brodie Grundy.
Looms as the decisive battle. The impact Naitanui (No.281 in Official AFL Player Ratings) has on West Coast is hard to quantify, but the Eagles booted more than half their score from stoppages in the Western Derby and have dominated clearances since his return. Grundy (No.3) is arguably the game’s best ruckman, and averages 20.7 disposals – more than double Naitanui (10) – while he has a slight edge in hit out to advantage percentage (30.7 to 28.1).
It’s a big week for: Mason Cox
The giant American is under the pump and has only kicked 15 goals and taken 45 marks from 10 games in a side that is struggling to hit the scoreboard. Cox will have his work cut out against Tom Barrass with Jeremy McGovern coming across to help when he can, but the Pies need him to lift with the side averaging just 72.5 points – 15th in the AFL – in the past six games.
Big call: Eagles spearhead Josh Kennedy to return fresh from a weekend off and drill a season-best five goals.
Mottsy’s Tip: Eagles by 20 points

NO LATE CHANGES
FINAL INTERCHANGES
West Coast: Jack Redden, Tom Hickey, Tom Cole, Jarrod Cameron
Collingwood: Jamie Elliott, Isaac Quaynor, Brayden Sier, Ben Crocker
Go Eagles.
Yeah, baby! Get it done, Eagles!
Go Pies
Do something especially Grundy and Moore and let Hurn see plenty of the ball down back 🙂
I didn’t realise you were a Pies fan PBuzz?!?
No more advice for you!
Then again, that’s probably a good thing 🙂
Got a soft spot for the Saints especially Billings 🙂
Moves this week J Kelly out and ended up going Kennedy (swans ) against popular opinion of Bont or Sloane.
Figure the 100 k saving will help me get Whitfield or Gawn next week and Kennedy should come home strong.
Hopefully Milera repays my faith in him this week.
Good luck Supercoachers
Can’t believe I’m saying this to a Collingwood supporter: nicely done, PBuzz!
Enjoy Banter GB
Think west coast will be too strong
Work college still celebrating west coast grand final win and his footy tipping name is McGovern to Vardy to Ryan to Sheed .
Bahaha, that’s fantastic.
We’ll see who gets up tonight, you guys are due to bounce back.
Goodluck.
Duursma to Hurn. Done.
Same trade CDawg.
7 trades left. Will be trading out J Kelly and one of either Logue or Hately
TU: Out: J Kelly & Logue, In : Bont & Hurn (leaves me one premium MID for next week = Treloar)
TD: Out – J Kelly & Hately, In : Bont & Treloar (leaves me with one premium DEF for next week = Hurn/Whitfield)
Thinking of putting the V on Hurn?!?
I didn’t.
Need to downgrade Logue to a rookie to play at D6. Who is gonna make cash faster the next two weeks?
TU: Quaynor
TD: D.Eggmolesse-Smith
Ranked 200. These trades could make or break my season.
Kelly and ROB out
Bines and Whitfield at D6
5 trades left. Thoughts?
VC Grundy TU
VC Danger OR Cripps TD
What do we think Grundy will score tonight?
100-110 Expect Naitanui to score similar, first time in nearly two years Grundy has faced Nic Nat. I hope Grundy plays well but doesn’t go huge as I’m not VCing him
Grundy 74 to half time, reakon Nic Nat has slightly had the better but expect Grundy to run out the game. Expect 130+ for the game ,that should be enough to lock in for the round.
Had the money to get Hawkins this week but with Logue out will trade to avoid a zero. Going to just pull the trigger on Whitfield. Need an option for Kelly also. Have $598k to play with. These two trades will leave me with 6 overall.
TU – Cunnington
TD – Zerret/Treloar/Duncan/Yeo
Already have Bont and Sloane
Me being an Eagles supporter aside, I really like Yeo’s run home; no major tags, think he’ll finish strong. Wanted to bring him in myself this week, but had to go Zerrett to save the coin.
Agree on Yeo have wanted him for the last few months so I think he may be the one to get. But more of a POD also. Thanks for the response
TU – Crisp
TD – Stewart
Glad I went Crisp! Kicking myself when he had one possession and 9 points at quarter time but wowee did he turn it around!!!
Just like evry weak make sure you’se have got MAYNARD as ya caption!
Hes gonna play a blinder!!!
what does Grundy score V Nicnat
– 120
+ 120
+120 nicnats on limited game time won’t keep up round the ground probably
tipping WC to tear the pies a new one after 1/2 time
Hope so, PJ. Will make up for the imminent Logue donut.
TU: ROB (BE 120) to grundy (BE 135)
Setters too quaynor (play D6 for 1 week grab Lloyd next week)
TD: Logue too Lloyd (BE 145) could wait 1 week
Setters too quaynor would play bench
Who is better to trade in this week
TU = Hurn for last defender position – Setterfield only on field rookie
TD = Treloar for last mid position – Answerth only on field rookie
Good start for the Pies
Nic Nat smashing Grundy 27 – 4
Carlton needs to give Paul Roos a job so he can stop doing those realestate.com.au ads…
nic nat gettn ankle strapped
If Grundy doesn’t score well, would you put the C on
T/U Macrae
T/D Dangerfield
Or T/U Neale
Cameron looking like my trade of the season.
3 kicks 3 goals
Grundy 28DT 43SC
Nic Nat 28DT 53SC
This garbage needs to stop!
because fantasy has rules not cheating scorers like supercoach
What the actual f*ck was that, Hickey!?
Ugh.
Any news on Moore?
String
Done hammy will likely miss a month sadly just when he looked safe for f6
hamstring …
Damn. I was always planning on trading him to Lloyd this week, but thought I could milk another 15k out of him this week because of his 100 last week 🙁
Was looking to upgrade to Heeney after going up this week as well sigh. Gonna really screw me for trades
Possibly hurn as an upgrade for you pete he shouldn’t lose more than 10k and hurn is only at 32pts with a be of 111
Should only lose 7-8k, but it’s cooked my round. I have Hurn already but might see what Whitfield delivers
Ruckmen seem to dominate SC these days.
Next year in filling my team with Ruckman, they seem to score so much more freely than anyone else.
Trying to find the first rucks that are listed as fwds like Marshall and Lycett, that’ll be the key.
Ok I take it all back. Nic Nat is a brilliant tap ruckman…
What evidence has there ever been to the contrary???
a forward tag on Hurn … what a pain!
Smart. Very smart. That’s why we’ve been disorganized down back, because Hurn has been dealing with Ronald McDonald all night.
yeah, I know … in real footy, very smart … for SC scoring … pain!!
Anyone got HT scores pls
your wish is granted …
Sure. Just a minute, John.
Ah, Macca’s got them. Ty.
Nic Nat 72 SC from 56% TOG, imagine him at normal TOG!
He’s had Grundy 1 on 1 so far. Hickey balancing it out by feeding Grundy.
Good game … wish I’d picked up Cameron!

I’ve had enough of this crap.
Not much point comparing DT to SC in trying to convey your sentiment regarding rucks due to the varying points awarded for Hitouts to Advantage as DT do not acknowledge them.
Mate Grundy just lost nothing for a dropped mark and holding the ball.
Hmm… that should be -8 (2 clangers). But the SC scores don’t usually update in real-time – see if he’s lost any points in another few minutes.
How many people still have Darcy Moore?
T.U: Yep *sighs
T.D: Already offloaded him, phew!
Its pretty awesome how Gil take’s time out of his busy shedule running the AFL to talk to the kid’s on TV at half time.
Make sure you’se all get onto GOOGLE and vote for MAYNARD as BOG.
Grundy on 84 at 3QT…
Chance of a solid VC score?
only scored 10 points in that quarter …
“Australia’s Got Talent”? Tom Hickey would suggest otherwise…
Well, those with Grundy as VC – look for a C option as he did SFA that quarter …

Praying Hurn has a quiet last so i can trade moore out for him
A bad night as pies supporter. Have Moore , Hurn and Grundy as Vic.
Have Moore on bench with E , Logue on bench and Hore on field.
Tempted to trade Moore to Byrne Jones rather then wait for Whitfield to next week. Will give me a pod and hopefully min of additional 80 points this week
T/u Byrne Jones this week
T/ d Whitfield next week
Test
De Goey: might be a top FWD pick next year?!
Don’t see any of the Top6 having FWD status next year
#2020
danger has to be a chance to still keep fwd status … lines up there a fair bit?? Heeney too?
any chance Marshall gets DPP R/F??
That would be fantastic but I doubt it.
I also thought Heeney but that’s not based off any hard data.
No chance having watched a lot of games.
Big pts up for grabs here.
Go Reg 😉
Grundy big score coming! come on 140+
Thanks Grundy i’ll take your score! VC Champ
Wow! What a comeback by the Pies! (sorry GD) … payback for the final … big mistake by the Eagles at the end there with HUrn off the field for 3-4 minutes towards the end …
Big final quarter by Grundy too (or dodgy SC scoring as always)

may be some scaling to come …
these scores do total 3300 though … so will be interesting if they change .. who did the TD??
Have Hurn as an EMG and Louge on the field,
do i take a Hurn 82 or roll the dice with Louge score?
Logue is out lol
makes the choice easy….
lol
Grundy VC <3
I’ve realised that to score big in close games late, it’s all about involvement. Tackle, Clanger click, ineffective handball, behind, anything and they cause the players score to pause and jump quickly. Ruckdogs always score well late because of this, especially Grundy with his repeat efforts.
B Grundy:
8 Tackles (equal 2nd tonight)
Crisp: 9 points at quarter time, 50 at halftime, 57 at 3/4, 120 at full-time!
Kicked myself for 3/4 then had to excuse myself to go have a celebratory “number 3” at the end, having bought him 5 min before kickoff
