Prediction Changes: Round 13 Vs Richmond + prematch discussion

[Wobbly Punt]

Don't really think Henry is suited to wet weather football. He is a lightweight and relies on clean handling and disposal in space. Also will struggle to kick a wet ball more than 30m if trying to take territory like you often need to do in the rain.

I would've thought that too but he was ok and maybe even good on the weekend in the Subi game. The conditions won't get worse than that.

Only if Henry performed at the same level he was. He has had two months to sort his s**t out, we need to take another look at him as he's not that far off.

I just feel like he’s not fit for AFL football. It was ridiculous by the end of his last games where every time he got the ball you just knew it was going to be a turnover, and it was. Especially in the wet I don’t think he’s the person to bring in.

I'd written off the peel game on the weekend but JL has mentioned Henry multiple times

He was clearly best on, so the coaches haven't ruled it out

Mentioned as contenders Henry, Erasmus, Brodie, Colyer. SK with an honourable mention but less likely than the others.

Who mentioned Colyer? Henry would be a surprise but Colyer would be a disgrace in my opinion.

 

[yakamoto]

Longmuir mentioned Colyer I believe.

Not sure. If we are just after temporary cover, maybe Colyer be better on the wing than if you bought Henry in for that purpose. He is quick and has decent kick and able cover the ground.

Hi any one looking for single ticket for Richmond game? Me and 2 colleagues booked together but one cannot attend. It is Sec 142 row 19 seat 15...

Henry was tackling really well when he was playing AFL earlier in the season. Not worried about his strength in the contest. His ball use burnt us though.

I really don't want another game like seemingly all the Richmond ones we play where they miss heaps of opportunities and it keeps us in it long enough to win. I'd rather not give them a sniff

 

[Boomer93]

Surely if it's wet we bring in Brodie...

 

[Joao]

****ing LOL if we bypass Ras, Brodie and even Henry and go for Colyer.

JL was trolling. No one who watched that Peel game would think that Colyer should be selected, I barely even noticed him out there.

I can think of worse, Henry is doing everything asked of him at Peel and they clearly want to reward performance (though agree it's harsh on the other two).

I actually think it's mainly that the club seems to rate Johnson as high as any player on the list and want to prioritise him as much as anyone

Mundy’s composure in Fyfe’s body. That’s how I’m hearing he’s rated internally.

No pressure, son.

Guess you didn't see the nice goal he kicked huh.. lol

Don't even remember it.

Ah well. There you go. You see what you only want to see lol

I thought a journo mentioned Colyer?

Don't think JL did

Henry in the wet would be a massive mistake IMO.

Word? I don't listen to JL pressers, seeing what others were saying in here.

Ah well. There you go. You see what you only want to see lol

You think he should be an in?

I disagree with this, the thing that made him standout on the weekend was how clean he was in the wet

He was the only one playing with a dry footy

I think JL just drops a few names now and then for motivation and to recognise the effort in the WAFL

 

[Footskill]

You u think he should be an in?

My previous comment was if we are looking for just a temporary cover and for wing position I prefer see him in then Henry. But also would need take into account that Colyer has only just returned from injury, so probably not.

I don't think we need cover the wing position with nod, Aish, and maybe Frederick's rotating through there. Prefer we kept our forward structure that has been serving us well with the three talls, but I guess with injuries you do need be flexible

I had the same feeling watching him in the Brisbane game that I had watching Serong's debut game. ("Holy s#@&, Jackpot!")
