Prediction Changes for Round 8 vs Carlton

[jonbe54]

Heard that, which is good. Rest the big fella for the tail end games going into the bye.
So only change will be Adams. Would love to see Wells get a run on Saturday. But more than likely will be Aish or Wills.

Yes a rest for Coxy is a good thing, make sure he is cherry ripe when he returns.

Most likely Aish although I would like to see Wills get a run with on Cripps - if he can limit him to an ordinary game with reduced impact then we know he has a future in the game at the highest level.

Chris Mayne putting his hand up for selection if he trains strongly tomorrow. Does he come straight back into the seniors onto a wing to allow Sidebottom to replace Adams in the middle?

That would probably be the most likely solution.

 

[caloschwaby]

If possible...
IN: 2 of Varcoe/Mayne/Sier
OUT: Greenwood/Adams (maybe Thomas?)
Thomas hasn't looked too flash 7 rounds in, though I remain hopeful he can turn it on and get it going against easier teams.

Mayne man is made of tough stuff. His durability is one of the reasons he was recruited. Personally I’d tell him he has to wait another week.

But if he puts his hand up......

 

[jonbe54]

Whilst hate is a strong word, I dislike Robinson.
Simply because I don’t respect him.

He slurs, looks like an unkept bed, has no original thoughts, and isn’t good at what he does. Does not come across as professional and with decency lacking.
That and he has a lower thresh hold of integrity.

He likes dogs, so at least that’s a tick.

Yes Saintly but he likes them lightly sauteed

Anybody speculating about more than one change will be wrong, imo

 

[nahnah]

Sounds like Mayne and Aish are back

I got the last Samsung plasma. They are far superior televisions than the LED ones for picture quality.

I was going to buy a Samsung plasma but unfortunately there was none left as you bought the last one.
Basterd!!!

If Mayne is fit I reckon he'll come in. He goes to Sidebottom's wing and Sidebotton goes on ball to replace Adams.

My guess now is:
In: Mayne, Aish
Out: Adams, Greenwood

I just think since last year Aish has been an auto in for the selectors.

That’s my feeling.
One change for Adams.


(Two would be the maximum assuming no more injuries till tomorrow.)

 

[underbelly]

Where's Sier? He looks completely out of it all if his Instagram is anything to go by.

Injured his calf as reported yesterday I believe. The Age suggested is was a toe injury which is I think is incorrect

This is such a tough one now, before it was likely Wills for Adams, but now you have to assess if either or both of Mayne and Aish are ready to go or need a run in the magoos to get the miles in the legs. Mayne has been out over a month if you don't count the game he lasted 2 mins. Aish only missed a couple.

95% of footy interviews are a complete waste of time. Even if the interviewer is great (which they never are) players are usually not the most interesting blokes around if you want to discuss a topic outside of footy, and they give highly prepared nothing answers to footy related questions.

We tune in because we are footy heads, but there is very rarely anything worth listening to.

It's rare but given that most the footy questions asked are predictable it allows them to prepare with media managers, a bit of journos doing some home work and throwing deeper footy related questions can sometimes catch players/coaches out and sometimes we get some gems out of them. In the past ive seen quality from Clarkson, C.Scott, J.Roughead (hawks) etc, in winning years give more insights then the straight bat answers a-typical.

I'd certainly rather them try ask new footy related questions then watch them all ask the same more personal diatribe that's been answered repeatedly.

Nope. It’s a toe injury. He should be available to play this week though provided he passes his fitness test according to Walsh’s injury report.

 

[magpie_marty]

And watching the 1977 grand finals in black and white as a kid, I bet we still could tell which was us and which was north.

So true it was the shorts?
But now we have away jumpers etc lol

 

[Scodog10]

Sounds like Mayne and Aish are back

Seems that way to me too. Not sure what they’ll do with Aish though because I wouldn’t be shifting Greenwood.

 

[Boogy]

In : Aish & Varcoe
Out : Adams & Greenwood

Wouldn't surprise to see Callum Brown dropped but I hope not

What's happening with Daicos ? I haven't been paying any attention to the reserves

Daicos has been average and good in patches in 2s, Rupert has been consistently in best and Wells is pushing.

 

[offtherails9]

You boys reckon you'll bring Sier in straight up?

(Also not asking for flog AFL Fantasy purposes)

Fortunately they’d never be porkies told by a club pronouncement.

 

[jonbe54]

Has the bulk for Cripps but the question is speed and exposed form.

He is the right type to step in for Adams but I reckon the jury is hung lol.

 

[sirlothie]

Nah, they are not happy with something about him, he's not at his 2018 form and is not having much impact at 2nds level before he was out. He's going to have to prove himself worthy of selection again, no matter how handy an inclusion he looks on paper there's been all sorts of issues with him this year.

North in blue
Us in white

If ready he’ll run through the twos first.

Rather see him play a few reserves games.
But we do miss his size and skills.
