Prediction Changes: Round 14 Vs Giants + prematch discussion

[trentjac]

Bye bye Noddy.

Foot skills were deplorable and slipped over more times than my Mum on a dance floor after a bottle of wine

 

[Schauermann]

Schulz and Switter were garbage. The wet, sloppy stuff is where the smalls have to lift. Both were horrid

Switta is somehow not a wet weather small. Lots of evasive stuff close, speed and short clean handpasses. All stuff he is great in isn't so much the thing to do when it is wet. Schulz on the other hand...

 

[FreoGirl]

I was disappointed with Fredericks, and not one of his most loyal fans, but when he's on fire he can be a game changer. Maybe the bye, maybe the weather, it just wasn't our night. I'm glad I got to see them playing in Melbourne before the bye.

In: Erasmus (for Aish) and JOM (for Henry)

Hurry back Darcy, we need you!!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Stephen Hill back in his prime would average around 15 disposals a game. You might think that is great. Sure he would have a horrible 12 disposals game one week and then get 18 disposals and 2 or 3 goals the next week.

Stephen Hill rarely wasted of butchers the ball

In his prime he was averaging 20+

I sooo want him to be a super star, but something isn't 'working' this season.

 

[s_wd6]

Out: Sturt, Henry, Aish (concussion)

In: Darcy, JOM, Walters

Simple

Fitness. Form.
He’s clearly not 100% AFL fit

 

[Stronzo]

I think we can put Sturt and Henry on the back of the shelf and start playing some different names. Those guys should be cut years end.

He was present in the first half then went missing in the second. You’ve got to keep playing him.

think he struggled in the wet and lost his footing a bit, but so did others

 

[Van_Dyke]

if aish is able to play

Out: NOD, Henry
In: JOM, ? (Worner i guess?)


Sonny to play full game, sturt/banfield sub

Yeah, O'Driscoll can keep playing... in the WAFL. Very out of form right now, guy needs to head down there and actually dominate a WAFL game. Don't think he's ever done it before.

I give Henry crap but at least he plays well down in the WAFL before getting a call up (not that it matters that much for him because he's not very good at AFL level but whatever).

 

[StingBitten]

Erasmus and Worner in over Sturt and Henry in that match and I feel like we could've punched it.

In: JOM, Erasmus and Worner
Out: NOD, Henry and Sturt

Out: Sturt, Henry, Aish (concussion)

In: Darcy, JOM, Walters

Simple

is Darcy going to be ready to come back?

 

[Freomaniac]

Sturt did kick a goal tonight. A beautiful set shot goal too.

I will be gutted if he gets cut at the end of the season, because he has shown some flashes of good footy

there is NO question about bringing back JOM - he was a massive out

 

[s_wd6]

He’ll have to be

 

[Van_Dyke]

 

[FreoGirl]

isn't that victim blaming?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Was Sturt not fine in his role? Clearly better than his medium forward mate this game which will make selections interesting because Walters has to come in.

Aish is also clearly not playing so both Henry and Noddy are playing next week

Aish, Banfield/Sturt -> JOM, Walters

Doubt Darcy gets up

 

[Dockeroo]

We are not a good enough AFL team to leave Neil Erasmus in the twos.
Let’s end the hubris and pump games into our potentially elite young talent.
People like Banfield, Sturt, NOD, Frederick should not be starting before Erasmus Any more

i don’t think Noddy or Henry are guaranteed


Drizz hasn’t had good game all year, and Worner and Erasmus can take their spots

 

[Lach72]

I thought Sturt was fine.
Frederick can’t offer that dog s**t up and people say drop Sturt as a reflex

 

[King Tenz]

Not bracing for contact anymore? Que? Aish got to the footy first and was lined up by some random park footballer who shouldn't even be playing at this level. WTF?

Banfield was great in the past few weeks but, like many, wasn't great in the wet tonight - he was unlucky to be subbed out
