Preview Changes vs Hawthorn Round 19

[ChampRevesby]

Out: Barass
In: McGovern (if fit)

I think Hill is rubbish but Newman is not ready. People are kidding themselves if they think he is.
Also if Hutch goes out what other mid replaces him? It wont be Colledge. No-one at EP is even ready to step in at the moment, which is concerning.

Only one way to find out.

You won't see him until next year when he gets in a solid preseason. I'll eat my hat if he comes in due to an omission.

His being upgraded and being held back last week shows that the MC consider him ready.

If Hill, Lecca or Crippa go down then he is in, otherwise you wont see him.

Unless they drop Hill, of course.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Newman, Butler
Out: Hill, Rosa;
Would love for Selwood and Hutchings to be dropped, but there are simply no other mids to come in for them. Apart from Colledge (,Lucas and McGinnity ).
Shows how bad our midfield depth is atm, despite very few injuries there, apart from Duggan.

I have to agree that whilst Hill has been sub par for some weeks now, is Newman really ready to go head to head with Hawthorn and Freo?

 

[truman]

For a start.

Out: Rosa, Hill, Hutchings,
In: McGovern, Newman, Butler

Hill has no tickets left, the guy has been poor for most of the year now. Hutchings is surplus and unless he's playing at the ball drop for long minutes he's a genuine liability. Easily beaten one on one.

A lot of that here on this board but really everytime he touches it usually is a positive. I thought he was better than both Lecras and Cripps today who had a lot of the ball but didn't do that much with it, though neither were in our worst.

The answer is no.

 

[Special Agent Utah]

As I said last week Hutch is not first 22 quality and proved it again tonight.. Shouldn't be in the side.

Josh Hill should have been dropped.

I don't know what the hell goes through Matt Rosa's head but his decision making is atrocious..


In: Gov, Butler, Newman

Out: Hill, Rosa, Hutch

 

[Pat_Footy]

Got a link on the Woosha ref?

It was a press conference.

 

[QS]

OUT: Hill, Hutchings, Rosa, Barrass
IN: Newman, Butler, Lucas, McGovern

Lucas can sub. I actually think he's quite suited to the role.

+1
Hill doesnt seem fit. Hutchings is the old Priddis. Rosa = s**t. Barrass.... harsh as he hasnt been bad, but Hawks, has to make way.
Newman worth a go, Butler please, Lucas Im okay with, knows what AFL is like and not soft, Gov = GOAT.

Tonight was a schmozzle, but 2014 eagles would have lost, tonight we walked away with half. Better than nothing.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

IF McGovern's fit then Barrass is unfortunately out. Hill's got to have a spell (whether that's in the WAFL or a couple weeks off with an injury he's carrying), Hutchings just has to be off the list, tbh

 

[QS]

Also, happy for Selwood to be in there, was good when he came on. Obvs playing up for Geelong though..

 

[Broken_Chairs]

rosa and hutch made selwood look decent, they gotta go. and hill didn't do enough again.

bring in nelson, newman and butler plz.
mcgovern too obv.

 

[Biggie]

Still waiting for that ******* footy to come back down

That *er is gone

 

[ep2018]

I am over GC already. Lets make this our line in the sand game. Where we really stand up and prove our worth. If Mitchell starts with the kneeing crap we should do the same tenfold. West Coast by 22!!!! COME ON

 

[ep2018]

And please for the love of God, may Gov come back

I'd actually leave Schofield out for Barrass, but I want Barrass to get experience, because I think he will be worth it in the long term and I'm pissed with Schofield's game.

 

[Dark Sharks]

OUT - Hutchings, Barass, Rosa
IN - Lucas, McGovern, Butler

Wouldn't ditch Hill and play an untried and unproven Newman in the biggest game of the year against the best team in the competition.

 

[mick06]

Hutchings out. You know ur stinking it when i am screaming for you to be subbed for selwood in the 2nd quarter. Butler back in.

Barrass out only cos we r trying to be too 4 hes not quite there and im hoping gov back.

Hill on strong norltoce but stays because we have been pretty stable and successful this season and 2 changes is enough.

 

[ep2018]

I think we had one eye on the Hawks game. Disappointing that we couldn't get back into the right frame of mind for most of the game, but we snagged a draw in the end so it isn't end end of the world. Sure the extra 2 points could hold Richmond et al away for another week but we should really be relying on us winning to finish top 4/6 and not other teams losing. I think the boys learned a lot tonight, and it will help us going forward.

 

[JordanWCE]

Out: Hill, Hutchings, Rosa, Barrass (unfortunately)
In: Newman, Butler, Nelson (should never have come out of the side), McGovern

Oh how I wish Duggan wasn't injured.

 

[JEagle]

Selwood needs a full game. Despite the rhetoric around here lately he is better than Hutch and Rosa, and he needs more minutes. Ankle injuries are sh*t because a guy without natural foot skills like Selwood needs to be practicing constantly to keep his footskills sharp. Ankle doesn't allow that.
