Fun fact.
Going into this game, we are 6th favourites for the flag!
We are currently 10th on the ladder......and haven't even been in the 8 for 10 weeks now.
They know we're coming....

Unfortunately we'll likely lose Boyd. We might get it reduced to 2 weeks. Cowan the obvious replacement.

If we win by 50pts we'll be the 3rd side in history to win 5 successive games by that margin. Could argue the 2nd side given Geelong did it the other two times, in 1989 and 2008.

I've seen the Boyd incident. Not sure it's a two motion tackle. Unlike some of the others his positioning is one where he cannot see that his opponent disposed of the footy and simply completes a tackle.
The one argument against him is the outcome. If there is concussion it shouldn't automatically mean suspension and the referral to the tribunal is a tell that the MRO don't really know what to do with tackles these days.

Boyd, McKay and Cerra out. Young and Cowan in, Dow to play a full game. Might be time to give Binns a go as the sub.

Not sure how he's been going in the 2's but wouldn't mind bringing back Hollands if we have a spot. Cowan for Boyd seems a no-brainer but the MC have pulled off some strange selections over time.

Gov and Saad may be a little sore and weary too, we may well end up with 4 or more forced changes.

Percentage is pretty important. There are 3 other sides with a draw - our current percentage is higher than Richmond, similar to Sydney, and lower than Geelong's.
This is a great opportunity to bank another 4 or 5% which is generally pretty hard to do at this time of the year. If Brisbane can touch up Geelong at the Gabba, we might close that gap a long way, and put some distance on the other two.
Foot to the pedal!

Eagles have a better balance of youth and experience and probably feed up with thrashings , did ok against a rampaging Tigers team.
Yeo may be another inclusion, more experience to come in , we need to be alert no time for complacency. Definitely a danger game.

I can see outs being:
H
Saad
Cerra
Boyd (sup)
