Preview Changes for round 2 vs GWS

[omgfridge]

Anyone see how Ah Chee went in the WAFL over the weekend? He is a player i think if we played most games he would show what he is capable of.

If Cripps is in who does he come in for? Venables or Pet?

"Allen (28 disposals, one goal), Brayshaw (23, two goals) and Ah Chee (20, one goal) led the Eagles’ midfield charge. "

So all three have claims for inclusion.

 

[Luuuc]

So all three have claims for inclusion.

Absolutely. They have every bit the claim for inclusion as...

A five-goal masterclass by Fraser McInnes propelled the WAFL Eagles to their second-straight practice match victory on Saturday.

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Rioli is a big big loss

F***** the injury Gods

Rather it happen now than in August / September

 

[amazingjoshy]

In: JK, Cripps, Ah Chee

Out: Brander, Waterman, Hickey/Vardy

Allen to back up ruck. Way too top heavy in Brissy. Vardy has first dibs on sole ruck, but I'd like to see what Hickey can do with a real crack at it

 

[Trouto]

no no no, none of you guys are doing it right...

Out: the whole team
In: someone with heart

/melt

 

[Altum Volantes]

So..

I reckon we might just see

I: Kennedy
O: Brander

Cripps to play WAFL time - which saves one of Venables or Petrucelle.

Maybe Waterman goes if they want to get a run into a young mid (or Ah Chee) but I suspect he lives to fight another week.

 

[WCE Wizard]

In JK and Cripps
Out Waterman and Brander

A forward line of JK, Allen, Darling, Cripps and Ryan looks deadly. We are missing Rioli big time

 

[Royals]

JK for Waterman
Cripps for either Petch or Brander, depending on what GWS bring

I dont think we will make a whole lot of changes after one s**t game.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

In Kennedy
out: Waterman or Brander

Brander offers utility role, fwd, mid, back. But can go missing
Waterman should have bigger tank and help play that connector role.

I’d prefer Brander ahead of Waterman, he had a better game on Saturday as a link-up player, and in dryer conditions his class will rise to the top.

 

[squashface]

In: Kennedy, Ah Chee, Rioli (if fit)
Out: Waterman, Brander, Petruccelle

So post SJOGIU my updated changes are:
In: Kennedy, Ah Chee
Out: Waterman/Brander, Petruccelle

Hurn Barrass Sheppard
Duggan Gov Jetta
Masten Sheed Redden
Ah Chee Darling Venables
Ryan Kennedy Allen

Vardy Shuey Yeo

Hickey Hutchings Cole Waterman/Brander

Cripps to play WAFL minutes and it would be a flip of a coin imo for that last bench spot between Waterman and Brander

 

[amazingjoshy]

Sounds like Greene is a chance to miss for them.

 

[Figure09]

They are dangerous

That would really help us if true. He usually towels us up.

We’re the Premiers.

At home.

After an embarrassing first outing.

With JJK back.

Show some goddamn ticker.

 

[JA56]

Out: Brander Waterman Hutchings Hickey
In: Kennedy M Allen AhChee Cripps

Hurn Barrass Sheppard
Duggan McGovern Cole
Masten Sheed Redden
Cripps Darling AhChee
Petrucelle Kennedy Ryan

Ruck: Vardy Yeo Shuey
Int: O Allen Venables M Allen Jetta

 

[Chris_6678]

We need Hutchins to tag so he won’t miss.

 

[Obeanie1]

On paper sounds good.

But both Waterman and Cripps had interupted preseasons. Are they AFL ready and truely match fit.

Against GWS we need to play fit players.

JK is anorher who will come in after an interupted preseason but at least he's aFF and 6 6 6 will help.

 

[twce13]

We need Hutchins to tag so he won’t miss.

who did he tag last week? seemed like both neale and zorko had plenty of impact and hutch seemed to spend a bit of time on the hff.
Good for hutchings on becoming a premiership player and when he has a clearly defined negating role i think he is useful (did excellent in gf), but outside of being a role player he really adds nothing to the team and doesn't belong in the 22. Really not a fan of this "he deserves to keep his spot" mantra, a role player like him only plays when there is a role.

That being said, i think getting him to sit on cogs wouldn't be terrible.

Waterman is the most obvious out in my opinion. I also think playing two rucks because it's the west coast way is a recipe for disaster, not sure vardy and hickey is a viable way forward. Get mallen in and he can pinch hit if need be.

He switched between Zorco and Neale last week but our midfield was so shot that it makes tagging almost impossible when you have every one of their mids dominating.
Hutch was the best tagger in the comp last year and against a team flush with midfield stars such as GWS he is a must have inclusion.
It isn't that he deserves the spot, we need him in. Honestly, who have we got available on the side lines that would offer more in the midfield?
Plenty of others dropped before Hutch.

 

[SloppyJoe]

* me, I forgot all about Josh Smith

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Looking forward to JK straightening us up and seeing how Mr Smith goes. Waiting for a big response from our midfield.

 

[amazingjoshy]

No Greene or Kelly

 

[Corn69]

Love the changes, we were to top heavy and inexperienced last week. Both Waterman and Brander will be good players in time, but Jk back is massive. Also Smith brings another midfield option with good pace.
