Prediction Round 22, 2025: Changes vs Adelaide

[WCE_Phill]

This will be a blood bath, Crom are a very good side and love a flat track

Id love to go see off Gov and Sheed but don't have the mental capacity to sit throw a 25 goal thumping. This will be the biggest lose of the year for any side.

 

[ioppolo]

I would expect Graham to come in for Gross though I would prefer we give Gross a run in the midfield and drop Kelly again.

They're not dropping him after 26 disposals.

I wouldn't think so either. He hasn't really added much coming back into the midfield though.

 

[Mulldogg]

Out: Dewar, Bazzo, Reid (injured)
In: Graham, Brock, JWilliams

Davis and Chesser on the wings. Gross to get more CBDs.

Tempted to bring in Hutch just for some physicality too

Hutchinson did his hamstring in the WAFL yesterday. It’s why he didn’t reappear after half time.

 

[Tugga27]

Out... Kelly owies Ryan Williams Dewar Hewett

Ginbey into midfield... Hough back

The minute people stop suggesting moving Ginbey back to the midfield the better.
Makes no sense at all.

Might be able to win the ball slightly more than Hough

He's settled down back.
Leave him where he is.

Gut feel is Tex Walker gets a week off as managed myself now I think about it more.

McCarthy is the one to have a quick run in the midfield out of anyone down back. One thing id like to see also is Tom Cole on the wing and perhaps Duggan to a lock back pocket role ie. not trying to kick it. Can we also please for the love of god have Clay Hall in the centre square and not the wing too? Something like

FB: Ginbey, HEdwards, Duggan
HB: Hough, Brock, Baker
C: Cole, Hall, Chesser
HF: Cripps, A.Reid, Graham
FF: Ryan, Shanahan, Owies
R: Flynn, Kelly, McCarthy
I/C: Champion, Gross, Hewett, Brockman

Baker back to half back and Graham to HF as well. Midfield rotations to come from Tyler Brockman, Tom Gross, Hewett. Houghto HB to take McCarthys spot.

 

[BSD]

In: Brock, Champion
Out: Bazzo, Owies/Cripps

Pending anything miraculous in the WAFL.

Could make a ruck change if you felt like it, who could be bothered assessing that situation at this point.

Need Brock in against Adelaide monster forwardline.

Get rid of Duggan he is a liability. Needs time back in the beagles to contemplate his future.

 

[Astro7]

It doesn't matter how you spin the bottle, if a 12th ranked side can flog us by 13 goals, the current #1 team will destroy us.
Just can't see what Mini can salvage from these games with the downhill horror slide ahead of us. What more can he say, just has to endure three more post game pressers.

Graham in. Will give us a bit of shape, grunt and drive, but not enough.
Blowies out, out...out.
Chess and Gross in until season's end.
Ginbey stays back where he's needed and wants to be.

 

[Rowan18]

I'm a seated member and for the first time I'm really struggling to get the motivation to go to a game. I've seen plenty of floggings over the years, but usually there's something to salvage out of it. I feel like the team has run out of steam and is just going to get absolutely destroyed. Don't much feel like sitting through all of that.

 

[kid_a]

If Adelaide want they could easily flog us by 100.

Genuinely reckon they're a chance to score 200 points

Just go to send off Gov and Sheed . Vs Sydney no chance of me going myself

Im with you phill.

I dont think the weather will be great either.

Leaning to staying at home and watching it on the telly.

Agree.

There were hoards of fans leaving from midway thru the 3rd last home game.

Wonder if they can commence the departure services at half time this week.

You cant expect us fans to constantly sit through non competitive efforts for 4 years straight, its an 8th wonder of the world how we consistently get 40k+ to a home game.

Amen brother, what used to be an enjoyable part of the weekend with a few beers and the occasional catch up with mates at the Camfield before the game now seems like just another weekend chore before heading to another working week.

Will be a decent crowd this week though you’d imagine to say farewell to Gov and Sheeda but if we’re getting pumped it is fair to say there will be a similar third quarter exodus.

Dunno. Tex is on 675 career goals now in what is almost certainly his last year.
Playing against us sets up for the big 700

There's no reason to suggest he can't go on.
He's playing well enough.

I think he gets rested as well.

Goal tally is a non-issue IMO.

 

[ziad]

I wouldn't think so either. He hasn't really added much coming back into the midfield though.

probably 16 more disposals that the next option.

Out... Kelly owies Ryan Williams Dewar Hewett
In... petrol Rawlinson Brock Davis Graham, Livingstone

Ginbey into midfield... Hough back

I suspect Ginbey may develop the skills to play mid but he looks like the type that will take 5-6 years to get there. He is well short at the moment. Hough is developing asa mid but with a better list his best value looks to be HB with a run as a mid now and then as good flexibility.

 

[KERRPOW]

yeah, i think i'll pass this week. Not going to sit in the pissing wet to see this team concede 4 goals in the first 5 mins on the way to a 100+ demolition.

Rain might save us from a 100 pointer.

Then again, they smashed Port in the wet.
Goodie.

Is it normal Rd24 is still not confirmed date/time vs Syd, anyone know?

Will prob be that late Sunday game as neither team will be playing finals.

Give up your membership then. There plenty of people waiting in the wings.
