Prediction Round 21, 2025: Changes vs Melbourne

[Miguel Sanchez]

Big ask for Shanahan to be basically the only permanent key forward in the side in game 5.

 

[ghostbat12]

One ruckman vs Gawn is interesting.

Big Boy Bailey will destroy him.

I guess it’s acknowledgment that we will lose those hitouts anyway.

Have to admit, hutch out was coming for a long time.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Some interesting changes. At least Tom Gross will get a game after deserving it for a few weeks. Very unlucky for Sandy Brock to get dropped. I would much rather have had Bazzo go out instead and Owies must have naked photos of Mini because there’s no way he deserves to be in that side

 

[Cuzz09]

Let's back Owies in.

He's due.... so due

 

[sharps24]

Can understand they want Harry Edwards in and predicted he would be right to play. Can understand that we need to see if Bazzo is good enough to persist with or whether to delist. Can understand that Sandy Brock has been extended for 2 years. But do not like Brock out for an underdone Edwards or a lesser layer in Bazzo. Hutch to the guts for Harley or to half forward for Owies might of given the bloke a better shot at showing his wares but obviously no interest in that either, the 4 year man is not playing for his career either so might as well call it for his season too. Love Flynn out for Bailey to take on Gawn with Reid assistance. Big job for Shannahan at FF is May gets off. My boy Loch to kick 6, earn himself an upgrade to the main list and prove himself the chosen one by ending the career of one Jamie Baba Yaga Cripps.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Let's back Owies in.

He's due.... so due

I prefer we back him out, right out of the side and out of the club. Unless he wants to play WAFL then he’s no good to us.

 

[Jukes]

The first game I’m able to attend this year. My 6 year old is filthy he doesn’t get to see Harley so if Gross is named sub, can everyone please chip in to pay for my bail.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Also, I’m stoked. They finally dropped Flynn. He’s the worst ruckman we’ve ever had.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Good changes, apart from Owies who deserved a week in the two’s, would much rather have seen Malakai play.
Got a lot of time for Davis and Gross think they’ll become best 22.
Grab your chance Chesser!

 

[Astro7]

That list doesn't bode well...
Mini made a comment recently when questioned about Owies performance, about Owies having an interrupted season and it takes a while to settle into a new team etc, suggesting he'll be backing him in...

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Owies on the bench instead of being in the starting 18 opens up that possibility.

You know Owies is gonna start and it's gonna be some young guy (probably Davis) who is sub.

 

[Goroyals22]

Also, I’m stoked. They finally dropped Flynn. He’s the worst ruckman we’ve ever had.

Apart from the bloke we now have in the ruck.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

That four year Hutchinson deal will continue to confound me. The only way it doesn't is if it's just a super cheap deal.

 

[ghostbat12]

The ball isn’t going down there.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Good changes, apart from Owies who deserved a week in the two’s, would much rather have seen Malakai play.

Decent chance he'll kick another bag in the WAFL and will be straight in the week after.

 

[Tugga27]

Still bewildering, no matter what coin he's on.

No May and Lever.

Probably won't get a better opportunity.

 

[THE A5]

Maybe it’s time we end fumbly hutch in the middle and play him up forward.

 

[Scotland]

Good to see Culley get a game even if it is against us.

Chesser will be the sub, Gawn will score 175 fantasy points.

 

[KERRPOW]

sub: T.Gross

 

[DanWCE]

Shanahands Rising Star nom coming up

 

[jdisc]

Maybe it’s time we end fumbly hutch in the middle and play him up forward.

hutch has played on the wing 99% of the time not the middle though

Well, what's he supposed to say? "Wow this guy is terrible, what were we thinking trading for him?" The coach isn't going to throw his own players under the bus.

 

[southcoast]

It would have to be a Joe the goose becuase I reckon even Kelly could run him down anywhere else

Does Kelly even do 'run down chases'?

 

[southcoast]

Also, I’m stoked. They finally dropped Flynn. He’s the worst ruckman we’ve ever had.

Hang on, Peter Higgins and David O'Connell just phoned in.
