I think it’s because Gibcus has a good tank and they’re worried about Darling (the fitness fanatic) getting up and down the ground… cause the Eagles aren’t stupid they naturally start him in the goal square.
Yeah, it’s a fair call. You don’t want Darling roaming free.
Also, and this is definitely my Eagles bias speaking, but I’m so tempted to grab Yeo and Nic Nat. Need a ruck replacement, Nic Nat a god and Yeo is a gun off HB.
Martin definitely looking a lot better after his last few weeks. A lot more on the ball today, with no players like Prestia or Cotchin playing.
Could be a potential fallen premo to bring in for the last couple of rounds
I’m figuring he has been very well managed for whatever reason, and with Tigers needing to go hard to stay in finals…..no holding back. The Clark Keating factor ??
So wrapped to see him back and, honestly, really happy with our performance today. Obviously some persistent defensive/transition issues but took it right up to the Tigers away from home – 10 rounds ago we copped it by 100 in Perth.
28 shots a piece. Wish our trademark accuracy had turned up today!
Goes without saying Tigers very strong. Will be a force come finals once again.
Short is just not playing in his favoured position for SC scoring.
You see players like Vlastuin and Broad do well, where if Short was at half back he would receive a lot from them for scoring.
Another poor week from him…..
No late changes for #AFLTigersEagles
Medical substitutes:
@Richmond_FC – Kane Lambert
@WestCoastEagles – Sam Petrevski-Seton
Tigers by 27 points for me.
Eagles are playing better but… they’re road form has never been good the last couple of years.
Think you’ll cover us, GP.
Just want us to show some progress, continuity and compete.
Great to have Nic Nat back as well.
Tu; rosas 49
Td; field rioli
Preuss 37 hitouts to 3/4 time in the VFL.
The temptation to bring him back in…but adding JS concerns at GWS with that ankle and his zest for getting suspended is a dangerous cocktail.
Preuss…
Almost as big a risk/reward situation to Hall.
153 one week, 18 the next… cursed hamstrings!
He joins Hall in the never again camp.
Add Whitfield to that camp
Dusty…please dont tempt me !!!
Me 1728 with conigs Sicily Brodie and Ryan
Him 1785 with Baker Kelly Houston
Do I trade preuss to Darcy or back team in
With those score…I’d book a holiday !!!
Wight there are 5 other players which are common so only listed unique
Am I the only person in the Universe with Hough on the bench ???
I’ve got him on the bench.
Playing the 19 yo Gibcus on Jack Darling seems less than optimal.
Darling brutal in the square 1 on 1
Surely for learning purposes….otherwise its child abuse !!
I think it’s because Gibcus has a good tank and they’re worried about Darling (the fitness fanatic) getting up and down the ground… cause the Eagles aren’t stupid they naturally start him in the goal square.
Darling would run Tarrant into the ground.
Yeah, it’s a fair call. You don’t want Darling roaming free.
Also, and this is definitely my Eagles bias speaking, but I’m so tempted to grab Yeo and Nic Nat. Need a ruck replacement, Nic Nat a god and Yeo is a gun off HB.
Tempting indeed…
Nic Nat just got the front and centre goal like a 205cm rover 😉
Martin definitely looking a lot better after his last few weeks. A lot more on the ball today, with no players like Prestia or Cotchin playing.
Could be a potential fallen premo to bring in for the last couple of rounds
F6 ??
Treat him as a M9/F7 loophole with players like Gresham/Butters where 70-80s occur more often
I’m figuring he has been very well managed for whatever reason, and with Tigers needing to go hard to stay in finals…..no holding back. The Clark Keating factor ??
3 rioli’s on ground today…….surely a rioli record
and all have kicked a goal
3 sausage Rioli’s
Drops the mic.
Magnificent FT….best comment of the year !!!
Very witty, well played. If you had any more you’d be on a Rioli.
Once again the Yeo-Yeo does another injury with his right hammy
Dusty just got subbed
Dusty running up and down along the sideline.
He is looking to be subbed off…….
Unclear why
Appears to be hamstring awareness according to the commentary team.
“Hamstring awareness” which is code for a slight strain
gee there’s been a lot of hammies done this week …
Short has turned into a spud of a player and my worst trade in I reckon … going to ruin my team and no way to trade him out …
Remember Petracca’s previous 3-4 weeks ??
Agree Macca.
He has gone from one of the most reliable kicks in the game to an absolute butcher in the midfield. Dan Rioli thriving with Shorts HB role.
Eagles are surging
If they were more accurate they would be leading
Nit Nac goes off and the tigers win some centre clearances.
That saved their asses.
Yeah, he’s pretty dominant GP.
So wrapped to see him back and, honestly, really happy with our performance today. Obviously some persistent defensive/transition issues but took it right up to the Tigers away from home – 10 rounds ago we copped it by 100 in Perth.
28 shots a piece. Wish our trademark accuracy had turned up today!

28 shots each… eagles were strangely inaccurate. They are normally dead-eye dicks.
Short is just not playing in his favoured position for SC scoring.
You see players like Vlastuin and Broad do well, where if Short was at half back he would receive a lot from them for scoring.
Another poor week from him…..
