Prediction Changes: Round 11 vs Hawthorn + Pre-match discussion

[Quokka]

Pearce's ankle and Hamling's foot have been found in a box of odds and ends. Glue being applied as we speak, 12 hours to touch dry but club playing it safe and leaving it the full 24 hours.

Back at training Wednesday.

 

[Bring back Drum]

Was a bit more vague than I meant it to be:

“I’ve been told to expect exciting news this week”

Would the sacking of Weber be exciting?

 

[Steinfreo]

Said it after the Geelong game and copped plenty of flak over it but Frederick is out of his depth , needs a break to have a think about the game.
He is exciting and will make it , nothing wrong with going back and working on your game.

Don't want to boast but I predicted his struggles highlighting his preseason form in mandurah as an indicator and got booed on here.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Probably but wrong thread for it

 

[wayToGo_]

Henry is debuting either this week or.next week

Nobody nose news like Basil's campaign for major is snot going so well? See what I did there?!

 

[Bastyy]

I feel like it'd be brave to bring Henry in, especially when you have Walters/Aish/Sturt/Hogan/Hill on the near horizon, but I really want to see it

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

So I was told Henry is debuting this week and I'm sticking to it

Out: Duman, Colyer, Matera, someone

In: Hill, Aish, Henry, Hogan

I suppose the someone is Fredericks but I think his pace is needed.

Crowden and Watson would be crazy harsh to get dropped, maybe Henry is going to be the game after

 

[Van_Dyke]

would be keen as for Henry to play on Monday, but the early forecast is that the games going to be bloody ugly (15-25mm of rain, chance of a storm)

4 changes after a win? Don't see tbh. Selection comitee have been conservative all season.

 

[Righteo]

Going to be positively monsoonal conditions for this game, not sure it's the right time for Henry as much as I can't wait to see him play.

Same which is why I doubt it now, if he gets picked now he's going to be pretty highly ******* rated by the club

 

[Scham]

Not sure about exciting but it’d be a ******* huge relief!

 

[Square Peg]

True but they're also bad conditions to bring back recent soft tissue injuries like Hill and Hogan.
So maybe aish in and knowing our luck in the first quarter he gets hit on the head by a piece of hail and fails concussion test

We'll bring back both and it'll backfire. Again.

 

[eastfreo75]

And then it’s a 5 day break until the next game.

Better to bring back against the Blues.

 

[Docker82]

Should be a key consideration imo.

Aish was off with concussion which unless really bad in generally a one week injury. Should come in.

Leave Hill, Hogan and hopefully Walters for the following Saturday.

 

[wayToGo_]

Hogan for Matera (reckon Hogan might have more chance of winning those many aerial battles Brandon lost last week)
Aish for Colyer (lose a bit of speed but get some classy i50 entries)
Henry for Frederick (similar speed but Henry has far superior skills - Henry wouldn't be being picked unless his defensive pressure was good)

That’s what I like to see.

2 games in 5 days is pretty difficult.

Reducing the number of players playing both games I think would get a better result.

Managing young players is must and even bigger rotation in the middle.

If Hogan, Hill , Walters or even Sturt broke down I will burn down Cockburn Arc.

 

[stax on the mull]

Think Mundy will get a break, perhaps when Walters comes back. Think Henry swapping for Frederick could happen. Did hear Prior mentioning North and Valente training well in an interview on Monday night. Maybe Darcy gets a break too and either Lobb leads the ruck and Hogan comes in as a forward - or Meek debuts against Carlton.

Hogan, Hill and Aish all ready. Good problem to have with this weeks selection. Maybe 2 or 3 changes. Probably Matera, Colyer who did some sharp crumbing on Sunday and someone else even more unlucky.

 

[CapitalA]

Yeah considering it is going to be a deluge we should probably go with a smaller lineup and we have a 5 day break following i think these should be the changes.

In - Aish, Henry

Out - Duman, Colyer/Matera


Bring in Hill, Hogan and Walters the next week.

I reckon minimal after that win.

In - Henry, Aish
Out - Matera, Colyer

Agree with those ins next game, is only 5 days anyway so give some sore boys a rest. Sends a better message.
