Rnd 10 - West v Eagles @ City Mazda Stadium (Sat 2/6)

[Big Phil]

The Bloods are crusing along nicely in 3rd spot on the ladder and we all know the challenges that the Reigning Premiers have had with their poor start to the season. For some reason, I think we might see the visitors get up in this one but it could go either way and should be a close one. One thing I think Westies have improved is their mental toughness and this is the type of game they will really set themselves for to win knowing the good position they are in at the moment.

Broadcast details - ABC TV from 2:00pm

West in a close one, still not convinced the Eagles have turned the corner whilst Westies have continued to defy the critics

Eagles seem to have the hoodoo on the Bloods recently.
Hopefully turn it around this time.

if Eagles have won 5 of the past 6 encounters, how can West have won the previous 3, after the Eagles last win against them at Richmond?

[RB]

I think West won the previous 2 at Richmond; the teams drew there in Round 2, 2009.

4 of the past 6 encounters have been played @ Woodville (Unleash Solar)

[eaglehaslanded]

Eagles hold a 6-3 advantage including a draw from their past 10 encounters. From the previous 5 encounters @ Richmond (City Mazda) the ledger is squared away 2-2 including a draw.

The first stat is correct

The seconds should read, Eagles won the last encounter, West the previous 2 (game before that was a draw)

Did well against the Eagles last year , 2 floggings and a last kick of the day defeat. Beat them easily in a trial this year (all ive got to hang my hat on)

Rd 10 WWTFC Team Selections announced. INS: Cicolella, Powell, Heinjus, Martyn OUTS: Toumpas (State U18), Redden (AFL)

IN: Birss, Newton

[Aerie]

Great to have Powell and Cica back. Redden is a loss - we are a much better balanced team with his inclusion - but he is an AFL player so can't count on him. Toumpas also out for about 6 weeks with state duties I guess. Westies looking very strong! Must win for the Eags!
