Prediction Changes and Pre match discussion vs Hawthorn round 12

[amazingjoshy]

I'm getting reports of Yeo out for year with OP and Duggan hamstring.

Anyone confirm?

Well the Duggan one true.

I'm happy for you to go at 50% here

 

[WCErevival]

Alright so assuming the supposed rumor is true, Yeo is out too.

So who comes in for Duggan and who comes in for Yeo?

Rotham will stay in most likely

 

[nameless]

Don't think Jetta will play.
Not on radar for coaches.

 

[Coasters7]

Lots of “hamstring soreness” around. Give it a couple of weeks and they’ll be pinging everywhere. Whoever is able to find 22 guys to start will win the flag.

 

[The wily weagle]

At training?

Unless they were doing some sort of half arsed match sim how the hell does that happen?

I have touched upon this in the past:

For some bizarre reason, it certainly feels like we sustain more serious injuries during training, warm ups and recovery sessions then actual games

It does indeed beg the very serious question as to what exactly we are doing at training? We all know players can't be wrapped in cotton wool. But at the same time, unless we are absolutely dead unlucky, alot of these injuries are surely preventable.

I mean Josh Kennedy getting a tennis ball in the eye and missing weeks immediately springs to mind

Train at a good high intensity in some sessions where these things can happen, but also means you're better on gameday.

Don't want to go the other way and never train, Freo only kick the ball 10 times a session because they don't want injury.

 

[WCErevival]

Players get injured at training all the time. Its not just a WCE thing

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Well the Duggan one true.

I don’t think Rhino, who would have the official teams at this point, would go with the Duggan hamstring awareness omission and not mention Yeo out with OP.

I'm happy for you to go at 100% here

[Carbine Chaos]

Ainsworth in and no Jetta still.

FFS.

Why the hell does Ainsworth keep getting chances ahead of X O’Neill?

 

[DanWCE]

Don't mind about Jetta so much, but show us Xon!! Release the 24

 

[Carbine Chaos]

It’s a bizarre ‘treading water’ selection as I’d be shocked if Ainsworth has any real future at AFL level. Not impressed.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Jetta’s an emergency again, along with Brayshaw, Brander and (of course) Williams.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Going with the extra mid in again. Maybe starting to manage the mids through more rotation fwd?

Playing Ainsworth as a fwd is a waste of time otherwise

 

[Monocle]

Ainsworth in and no Jetta still.

FFS.

Why the hell does Ainsworth keep getting chances ahead of X O’Neill?

He bought the pictures of Masten, very shrewd investment and one that may well see Ainsworth have a long, but not spectacular career at West Coast.

 

[KBLT]

Seriously, Ainsworth??

 

[WCErevival]

Ainsworth vs Worpel. Clash for the ages

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

So, available for the scrimmage (I’m gonna assume Brayshaw is held over, because why not):
Williams
Jetta
Brander
XON
Hickey
Jamieson
Foley
Treacy
Cameron

Maybe
Schofield (groin)
Edwards (concussion)
Vardy (ankle)
Johnson (Partington’s disease)

 

[KBLT]

What do the selection panel see in Ainsworth that they don't see in XON?

 

[Mulldogg]

Ainsworth...sigh

 

[Sammy J]

Look, not thrilled with those changes

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Wtf is with the Ainsworth inclusion? Dunno how him coming in helps with the loss of JW.
Would've much preferred for Camo to stay in, or a debut for O'Neill or Brayshaw if they still went for an extra mid.
Hopefully still a chance for Williams to come in next week to maintain having a 3rd tall forward in the side along with the resting ruck. Allen in JW's spot and Williams as 2nd ruck.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

O’Neill and Bailey should probably seek trades if they don’t get debuts this season.

 

[Ochre]

If Yeo's not 100%, could he be pushed forward and Ainsworth played in the middle?
