Prediction Round 22, 2025: Changes vs Adelaide

[TY24]

Don’t be surprised to see him come in for Owies.

Oh I will be very surprised to see someone come in for Owies

 

[Dark Sharks]

One change I would really like to see is Gross actually play in the position that earn't his recall into the seniors.
Pretty simple really.

Legit.

They haven't given Gross a proper crack in the midfield since they originally screwed him over after the Carlton game.

Blues flogging us in the midfield waaay back when has made McQualter totally clamp up and refuse to give Gross legitimate midfield minutes.

No Harley, no Graham.. and he gives him 1 CBA last week. I doubt that is going to improve this week either with Graham back in the side.

Would prefer if he gave up on Hough as a midfielder and put him back into defense where he belongs and played out actual midfielder Tom Gross, the one we specifically drafted, in the midfield.

Yep Hough would be my pick as well to make way, especially with Graham back.
With Hough doing a Ginbey on another influential forward who knows, we may actually cut down oppo scoring a little bit more. With Adelaide's forward line this is a perfect time for it. Rankine, Keys, Neale Bullen take your pick.

 

[Bacchus]

Not Owies again. He can’t do anything more to get dropped. 28 y.o. ffs.

Gross wasn't up to the pace of the game, he is developing as he should. It's up to him so please cut the victim garbage

 

[squashface]

Owies retains his spot. Again.

79% TOG.
9 possessions.
0 tackles.
0 goals 0 behinds.
2 score involvements.
6 pressure acts (lowest of anyone bar Davis who only played a quarter).
Not in the top five for ground covered, overall or at high speed.

What is he actually out there to do??

 

[Dark Sharks]

Odd additions.

Brock for Hedwards, obvious

Dewar out is expected, fair enough.


Jilliams IN after the disaster of a past fortnight in the WAFL

Petrucelle JFC why.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Thank God we've dropped Dewar and not Owies. Can you imagine?

Witch’s hat. I love the way opponents just rip the ball out of his arms.

 

[FKASC]

Fold

 

[ziad]

let the emotionally charged and fundamentally irrational gibbering commence

 

[RookiePick]

A wild Petch appeared!

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Graham on a wing...Christ...we legitimately need upgrades across every....single...position on the field....how the hell is this even possible?! How did it even get to this?!

Justify paying him $500,000 p.a. We have to play him.

 

[jdisc]

we will look back at that starting 18 in 5 years time and laugh

Great of all of you whinging about the changes without bloody posting them...

getting some weekend exercise in, good for the heart

 

[Carbine Chaos]

6 goals in 14 games gets you a guaranteed half forward flank in this side.

 

[Bacchus]

Good for our hearts too.

I can only think he is out there to protect some kid from a soul destroying 100 pt beating. Can't be for his footballing prowess.

 

[FKASC]

It’s very frustrating that Dewar looked like taking the next step as a wingman/outside mid in preseason and now has been Eagles’d

 

[TY24]

If you think where he's named correlates to where he's going to play, I've got some magic beans to sell you

It's because we gave him a long contract..

They never had an issue dropping Redden, Jetta, Wellingham, Witherden…
