Prediction Changes and Pre match discussion vs St Kilda round 17 @ The Gabba

[FreeTK]

It will take a tremendous effort to win tomorrow.

If we finish 5th or 6th, and win the first final, I wonder if we will hub or FIFO?

As long as we finish top 6 and get all our players back fit and healthy for finals, I feel like we are still in with a good shot.

If there is any year to win it from outside the top 4, it is this year.

Steve Bandy might be getting his long awaited run on the opposite wing to Gaff

Woosha might be out of a job come finals.

He has beaten Gov in a time trial so i think a stint down back could work.

 

[THE A5]

Late Orme to the midfield

 

[Mulldogg]

I expect today’s captains run to be a very gentle “skipper’s shuffle”...can’t afford anyone else tweaking anything between now and bounce down tomorrow.

“We’re going to make six changes. Five of those are forced changes. Dom Sheed has a slight hammy, so he is unavailable. Ah Chee is not available, he has a finger injury. Redden, Hutchings, Jetta are out. And Hickey makes way for Naitanui.” Simpson on team changes

Phew, only 6 changes. Apparently no team has won with 7+ changes. According to GARY Lyon.

Maybe do it on the Alter-G to be on the safe side.

 

[MIKE85]

The number of changes doesn’t matter, it’s the quality out vs quality in. We’re clearly losing more than we’re gaining at the moment

Yeah when people were saying “this season is likely to test depth” I wasn’t aware that our entire list was going to be getting a game..

 

[barnabyjones]

Sheed our tomorrow. 6 changes says the west

 

[amazingjoshy]

I get all the soft tissue stuff with the short breaks, but what's with all the thumb and finger problems?

Weird stuff happening in that hub

 

[WCErevival]

Do we have enough players to fill the emergency list?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Do we have enough players to fill the emergency list?

Assuming the ins are Hurn, NicNat, Brayshaw, Brander, Cameron and Petruccelle:

Williams, Hickey, Schofield, Edwards, Reid, Foley, Treacy, Jamieson are all available. Think that’s it though. Tall stocks are ok but smalls and mediums are pretty much down to the last few standing.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Expecting more changes at this point. Duggan to lose a bar fight over Lord Palmerston, Sheppard out with gigantism after too much Brain and Nerve Tonic, and Simpson to send Kelly back to Geelong for refusing to shave his sideburns.

 

[amazingjoshy]

So in NN, Brayshaw, Hurn (all given), then who's left? Petch and Cameron surely given the outs...plus probably Brander?

Though I wouldnt mind bringing in Williams to ruck and giving Allen a bit of a different role

 

[dkalphy]

Guys youse are forgetting Naitanui is playing, Naitanui will make a surburan league player look good, all is well

Maybe not the time for that many talls considering it is going to be wet. Although we are almost at the point of having no choice

Nicoski still looks in great nick...

FB: Shannon Hurn, Tom Barrass, Brad Sheppard
HB: Josh Rotham, Jeremy McGovern, Jackson Nelson
C: Liam Duggan, Tim Kelly, Andrew Gaff
HF: Jack Petrucelle, Jack Darling, Liam Ryan
FF: Jarrod Cameron, Josh J. Kennedy, Jake Waterman
R: Nic Naitanui, Xavier O'Neill, Hamish Brayshaw
INT: Oscar Allen, Tom Cole, Brayden Ainsworth, Jarrod Brander

Out: Jack Redden, Mark Hutchings, Tom Hickey, Lewis Jetta, Dom Sheed, Brendon Ah Chee

Williams very unlucky not to get a spot lol. Unfortunately we are already too tall. I wouldn't be opposed to him being included for Allen, but that would be 7 changes and there are only 6.

You’ve got Ah Chee in a forward pocket and as an out. I assume this would be Cameron and Brander starts on the bench?

Get on the saints at 2 bucks

Yep forgot to edit lol. Fixed now.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Could be the long awaited return of Jaymie Graham?
