Prediction Round 21, 2025: Changes vs Melbourne

I’d like to Livingstone get a game so out Archer

A couple of back end games before the next pre-season might serve his development well. The rest of the season is pretty much pointless so you could even roll him in as the sub if you had to. Would get more out of it than bringing in Hunt for example.


With that said I'm waiting for the game tomorrow before suggesting my changes. For all we know he'll roll out and have a stinker.

Feel like playing Melbourne at Marvel is better than getting them at the G.

Not that we'll win but we seem to handle the ground reasonably.

Hope we take some confidence from pushing the Pies there a few weeks back.

Cripps Shanahan Ryan
Dewar BWilliams Hewett
Chesser Baker Maric
McCarthy Bazzo Ginbey
Duggan Brock Hough

Flynn HReid Kelly
AReid Cole Brockman Hall
sub Newton

Owies - Newton
Hutchinson - Chesser

Obviously depends how the wafl goes but Newton for Owies seems an easy change unless Johnston or Rawlinson are worthy. Chesser deserves a look if he plays alright to see if he goes anywhere under Minis game plan. With Edwards out I think Ginbey needs support so I'd chuck Hough back and give us a look at Baker as a full game in the midfield i think he wasted at hff.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Given up on believing Hutchinson will get dropped at this point. Given up on believing Gross or Allan will be given a go too. Think Owies might be though which is nice I suppose

IN: Grego, Chesser, HEdwards
OUT: Owies, Reid (managed), Bazzo

Put Hutchinson at HF in place of Owies, Chesser on the wing. Brock over Bazzo

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Sick of Baker at HFF also. Get him in the midfield. We need him there

Harley unlikely to be fit? Would you risk it?

Yeah who knows.

I don't think a week off for Harls would hurt.

Give Gross a full game, he'll learn lots v Oliver, Petracca etc

Hopefully Hewett, Hall and Gross will form a good combination. Hope they take it upon themselves to lead the midfield.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Gross has to get a full game in the middle, not half the game on a HFF before getting the vest. Over to you Mini. Perfect chance with Harley needing a rest.

Today looks to be not ideal for the talls but I think Livo has plenty of character and is very competitive so would be good to see how he goes in the wet and at the next level ..

I’d say our best moves at this point would be:

OUT

H Reid
Owies
Bazzo (if Harry fit)

IN

Gross
Newton
H Edwards (if fit)

I like Newton, Gross is ok but propbably not up to it. I can't see harry being fit with hammy awareness.

At least give Gross the Melbourne game, and if you need to move him out then Graham is back for the Adelaide game anyway.

Why Bazzo out? He's been the incumbent and was every bit as good as Brock yesterday.

 

[fullbull]

Why Bazzo out? He's been the incumbent and was every bit as good as Brock yesterday.

I don’t think he was quite as good as Brock (factoring in the short notice for Brock as well, which isn’t nothing). I’ve seen more from Brock this season to suggest he’s higher up the pecking order for me, and I’d keep Brock in. Unless they want Bazzo to play out the season to see if he can earn another contract.

 

[ArdentEagle]

OWIES - Am I doing it right??

 

[ziad]

At least give Gross the Melbourne game, and if you need to move him out then Graham is back for the Adelaide game anyway.

I think Harley will be out and certainly Gross is next in line.
