Where and when: Saturday 1st August at Optus Stadium
What it means for the Eagles: Third place on the ladder if they win. If they lose, they could fall back to sixth. Plus, losing to the cats at home? Not good, not at all.
What it means for the Cats: Third place on the ladder if they win. If they lose, they probably stay at sixth. Also beating the Eagles at Optus? Hoody hoo!
Supercoach Watch:
West Coast: Half their list? Gaff, Kelly, Shuey, Nic Nat, Hurn, Yeo, and debutant Harry Edwards.
Geelong: Also half their list! Danger, Duncan, Hawking, Menegola, Stewart, Simpkin, and Close.
Father Dougal’s Watch: Close – Must be near a record for % brought in. Just from guessing, not from looking at stats. But must be! Seven of the top ten trades this week had him coming in. Oh, darn, stat.
Father Dougal’s Tip: I am a coward and pick the Eagles at Optus. By 18. I mean, the cats are good, but this is a bad time to be playing the Eagles at Optus.

Close or Simpson on field?
Gotta play one
Tu close
Td budarick
Trade out budarick (TU) or sturt (TD) for close
Any late changes?
Do I take Aarts 75 or play close?
Tu take the 75
Td play close
Final teams #AFLEaglesCats: No late changes.
anybody know much about keane for collingwood tomorrow?
trading out brander for WCE i need cash asap.
TU : get keane in
TD: his no good
Settling into the couch for the Yeo – yo Oh no!! show.
No doubt will be quite a ride.
Cats are going to have to play a very defensive game to be a chance.
who wooda thaught close would be smashing yeo hurn & simpsons scores
Hurn yet to have a touch at qtr time. Burning owners who brought him in before the bye. Might be extra juicier after the byes
Scratch that got his first touch!
Come on Close! get a good score im close to beating my opponent!!!
LETS GO
Bloody Stewart.
Pricing himself out of my reach.
Really having a crack at his break even – 82 at half time.
BE of 162, Shaggi. Relax.
Got Hurn cheap this week, will complete my DEF with Stewart next round.
I’d be disappointed if I got Hurn in this week
Stewart 88 at half time
Could hit break even
Same as me.
Real glad I went with Stewart a week early, won’t be dropping much in price and should score big for me.
Also good that I didn’t go for Hurn as I just couldn’t trust him and he hasn’t performed the best in that first half
Well done Nato
I thought it was a week early but good on you for backing your judgement
Come on Close i field you instead of Simpson
Cmon Kelly, NicNac and Simpson lift
WTF how did simpson jump to 78
Simpson had 8 stitches under his eye but returned to the field. Was off for about 15 minutes
Parfitt lost nearly 20 points that quarter
Yeo also, umpiring is the worst i’ve ever seen it. Some of the decisions are laughable. They will have to sort this out quickly because you would hate to lose a grandfinal for trying your guts out like McGrath and get penalized.
Last Def spot;
Tu; Stewart
Td; Haynes
Josh Kennedy.
5 effective possessions, zero tackles for 105 pts.
WOW!
Add 3 contested marks, plus 4 goals in a tight game, where he kicked 3 goals in the final quarter, where they came from behind to win
Still WOW.
21 pts per effective possession.
Yeah, Nic Nat to Gawn this week was not the best option 🙁
