I reckon we'll go with the closest 22 we can get to last week's team and we'll play with the same intensity. Crippa may not be out there physically, but he'll still be willing the boys on and I think they'll respond well.

A danger game simply because it's a must win and everyone expects us to win....the fact we'll be a laughing stock if we don't win should be enough incentive, let alone 4 points and being within a whisker of the top 8 by the end of the weekend.

I went to the Wet Toast v Tigers last week. Eagles were competitive except for a 10 min period where Richmond piled a few on. Tigers seemed to think they would cruise but needed that period to break away and that was the difference at the end. If this was in Perth I’d be a little worried but as it’s not I think we should be ok.
Eagles are a banana peel waiting for someone to slip up on. They still have some good players

Don't pigeonhole this bloke.
As Kruddler said after the last West Coast game.

Yes Lods, his performance in that carnival saw him get All-Australian selection at full-forward. ?
Perhaps he’ll take Harry’s spot on Saturday ?
Every VFL and AFL game he’s played for us has been as a KPF or KPD. Not one of his coaches at both levels has given him a run in the midfield (if I remember correctly, he played one game as a midfielder in under 18s). I suspect that says just a little about where Brodie will play for seasons to come.
I have no doubt that he could play as a midfielder, but not as well as he plays as a KPP, and not as well as our current crop of midfielders can play.

Kemp has been doing the job down back and is looking like the top ten pick he was going to be minus that injury when he was drafted. If its working dont fix it is the old saying and Id be leaving Kemp right where he is so he can play on the likes of Jack Darling this game and continue his education. I think the general opinion is McGovern is the player you would shift if we need another marking option down forward if Jack isnt firing or is rucking and TDK is off the ground but if you look at WC they have one tall defender in Barrass and the next tallest is Hough 191cm who is just a slender kid playing off half back so I think the likes of Jack and TDK should be able to give us some decent attacking avenues.
