Prediction Round 10, 2025: Changes vs Euro-Yroke

[Shuestar13]

The bashing of Kelly over the past few years has been over the top.

This season however he has been nothing short of putrid and needs to have a proper break.

+1

Not a lot of point having a go at Kelly’s possession count today when he played permanently forward.

I’m more concerned about the lack of two-way running. Can’t play him as a forward if he’s not going to apply any pressure.

Well his disposal regardless has been shocking all year. His efforts and defensive efforts been lack all year bar a handful of moments. He’s so out of it that he’d usually still find plenty of footy at hff in the past. I’m done with him.

 

[Cuzz09]

Stats and scoreline were pretty much identical for both teams.

Luck and not remembering how to actually win cost us really.

Doesn't matter really... be nice to win one day but work tomorrow so life goes on

 

[THE A5]

Archer needs to go back to the wafl and play as a defender. Ask his brother how to do it if he’s unsure

That dickhead is killing the development of both players buy kissing archer on the dick and giving jilliams the rough end of the stick. Archer moves so smoothly and a tad more athletic but i still reckon William is not only a better set shot but be actually has proper forward craft. With the lack of quality key backs, archer needs to go back

 

[Dark Sharks]

Kelly hasn't been the same since he grew his hair out.

Either go back to Johnny Unitas, or go back to pulling cables.

 

[Boohemian]

Agree. Archer has had his run as a KPF.

I have zero faith when he's lining up that he's going to slot it. If it's coming down to a decision of Jack Williams vs Archer Reid, the answer is both, and send Reid back.

 

[Bender_]

Right now he's laying cables.

Am I right guy?!

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Stupid having Gross as the sub. Minimal AFL experience and he's somehow expected to step in and know the pace of the game?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Kelly still only looks semi committed. Not sure how or why he managed to play seniors. An extended WAFL stint please

Im starting not really rate Mini that highly. Will still give him the benefit of the doubt be a first year coach but he hasn’t started well

Tk needs to go captain the wafl team for the rest of the year.

 

[Lia]

Gross needs to play, he just has it.

had a game like that at the MCG early on and recovered pretty well from it.

He had 16 pressure acts for the game, 6th most in the side.

Probably should of got the message the first time he was too slow to get rid of the ball.

Out: A.reid, kelly, brockman (susp)
In: JWill, no idea, no idea

No it hasn't in fact it's been under-stated only this season has his faults been made evident. He can't dispose of the football properly and hasn't been able to do that for at least this season and the past 2 season before that. The stats literally back this up.

Footy is a high demand industry you start not fulfilling your role you don't get a spot on the team. He needs to go to the wafl and learn how to kick again and if he can't do that he should be delisted.

We can't be carrying passenger's anymore. The feel good boys club days are over for us. We did the credit's in the bank thing with simmo after 2018 and it didn't pan out. Hawks and geelong don't agree with that philosophy and move on old guys constantly so the youth can develop at afl level and are constantly contending. Time for a new approach.

Just kidding fellas.

 

[Cursedsword02]

It's interesting to note that Kelly didn't attend a single centre bounce all game. Foreshadowing another drop, perhaps?

OUT: Kelly, A. Reid, Edwards
IN: Davis (Sub), J. Williams, Allen

Reckon they'll err on the side of caution with Gov if the talk of his concussion history is true.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Hope Harley enjoyed his little run around today because Ross the Boss is sitting around the corner rubbing his grubby f*cking hands together.

Players like Kelly should be embarrassed that oppo teams would rather tag a 20 year old than you.

Change in role, and a welcome one at that.

Needs to play HFF from here on out.

 

[Barrybran]

OUT: Owies, A.Reid, Allan, Edwarsd
IN: Gross, J.Williams, Kelly, McGovern

Allen in for B.Williams if he's good to go.

Archer's been banged up the last couple of weeks and ineffective now for the last 3-4 games. Give him a rest to freshen him up, then bring him back through the WAFL to find some confidence. Gross in for Owies. No more sub. Let the kid play. Make Owies the sub if you must.

The dual ruck set up wasn't horrible but I heard a stat late in the game saying we were holding our own in the middle but getting beaten around the ground. We may as well keep putting games into Jack as second ruck.

Bo's due back from suspension so give him another crack and send Baker forward.

Edit: forgot about Gov. Whoops.

We all know you aren’t kidding Suma.

Wow... 6th.

One of our most senior players. 6th most pressure acts.

Cool

 

[Dale Doback]

Bo has to return. Brock showed a bit and should stay if Gov returns.

Not a lot of point having a go at Kelly’s possession count today when he played permanently forward.

I’m more concerned about the lack of two-way running. Can’t play him as a forward if he’s not going to apply any pressure.

Fair point and some could even point to his team-high 9 score involvements today but the fact we are trying him as a forward when our midfield is getting smashed weekly should have been a kick up the arse for him today and yet his body language as always is nonchalant. He might not have attended a single centre bounce but even around the pack in the forward line it was the same kind of thing. Happy to let others do the hard stuff.

I'm over him.
