Prediction Changes Round 18 vs Richmond

[Free Agent]

I am certain the club is aware that Gaff would be better served playing a full game in the twos if it's just about recapturing his form.

So there can only be a few different scenarios at play here.

1. Credits in the bank. Don't want to embarrass him and send him to the WAFL.

2. Use this as a trigger to show Gaff he is one step away from being dropped if his output doesn't drastically improve.

3. Use this as a mechanism to advertise to Gaff that looking elsewhere is in his best option because his time at the club is coming to an end.

4. The match committee genuinely think he offers more than any sub we could go with for the game, even if only for a quarter or two or at worse an injury occurs.

I'd say it's probably a mixture of a few of them.

Also I think the dollar thing here is in play too. 700000k player playing WAFL.

Will they ever just let it go and drop him. The pricetag and failure from the club to admit they made a wrong decision. It's time to move on. We stuffed up with poor list management. It happens.

Gaff confirmed as the sub.

He will be unleashed in the 4th quarter and use his speed to full advantage

 

[KERRPOW]

Would have preferred to see bazzo retained ahead of witherdunce

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Rare chance to actually select a team and they've absolutely f**ked it up.

 

[Doashuey]

why you salty for?

Not salty, I think it's long overdue. Just trying to work out why a poster is celebrating an outcome that he (or she) has had nothing to do with.
You seem to have waltzed in gloating that we have seen the sad demise of a once great player who ALWAYS put his body on the line for the club. I think you are a piss weak supporter .
I want Gaff out. I'm not happy to see it but. It's no cause for celebration.

This is Simpson going for a hail Mary win .
Has his old school backline in .

Rested hurn and shuey for this game .

I just don't see the point . A win here may jeopardise pick 1 .

If we somehow miss out on pick 1 you just know that the kangaroos will get picks 1 and 2

Winning is a lot more important then a draft pick the boys need a bit of reward for there efforts otherwise what’s the point.

Must think we are too tall with Darling, Allen and the Williams brothers otherwise I'd have kept him in.

WC are going to have a great chance this week against the tigers. At least until Simmo inexplicably subs off Hewett for Gaff at half time.

From the presser, it sounds like they’re planning to sub Cole out if possible.

 

[Chump Change]

Says that 1 or 2 of edwards, Maric and bazzo won’t play WAFL to be kept as an emergency just don’t see the point of that basically missing a week of growth and then your playing a player like gaff as the sub who probably won’t be on the list next year seems ridiculous.

Maric and Bazzo need to be playing WAFL.

Posted this last night

Listening to Simpson on 6PR and I’m guessing Gaff to be the sub

Adam Papalia asked him directly about Gaff and the response was along the lines of you see it happening across the league (out of form senior players) and clubs handle it in different ways. Then mentioned playing reserves, or as a sub or back them to regain form but the tone (to me) sounded more like he wasn’t in the 22

He also said that Cole would start but wasn’t ready to play full minutes. With that in mind having Gaff who can be trusted to play the minutes if needed as an early sub makes sense

We're paying $7 if you genuinely think we're a chance fwiw

 

[Carbine Chaos]

What's the bet Gaff is on in the first ten minutes anyway.

 

[Cuzz09]

Gaff's career has come full circle. Ashes to ashes, sub to sub.

2011 Debut as a sub and we lose ashes

2023 end as a sub and Shiiiiiii....

In other news, China is not gaslighting their neighbours.

Surprised they dropped Maric over JWilliams. Neither should really be playing at this level quite yet, but you'd think getting games into Maric would be more important if you have to choose. I wonder if he's maybe a bit sore

Jack Williams offers the back up rucking (of sorts).

Williams is backing up Williams in the ruck so can see the logic

Jack Williams is there as back up ruck

And games into Jack are no more or less important than games into Maric

Petrevski-Seton has been selected ahead of Maric presumably as a more mature body and perhaps to see if SPS can play well enough to finish the season to justify an extension into next year

Hey buddy! * you!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Six weeks ago Maric was stacking shelves at Woollies, since then he’s played four full AFL games and one full WAFL game with one weekend off. Every chance he needs a freshen up.

We took it up to the saints at home last time with a less experienced team .

Saints are a better team than Richmond who are minus lynch and nankervis.

Our backline looks pretty solid

Basso Barrass hurn
Hunt McGovern Duggan

We have also got rid of gaff

 

[DieSwans]

He's FINALLY ******* gone
