Handing out 2 debuts doesn't seem likely with this coaching group. I'd love for one of Worner or Kuek to have a chance. Few players need the fear of god given to them.
 
In at least three from Peel, obviously Kuek. It's rebuilding time again.
It’s really not.
Worner isn’t much difference to Henry’s level.
Wilson is more then capable.
Erasmus should be in for Fyfe, who’s really struggling lately.

Kuek should’ve been in this week for structure.

First thing.
* Henry off. There’s nothing there, there’s nothing special.

Second- NOD should get a spell.

Now something has to be said about Fyfe and Switkowski. Fyfe has struggled big time. Up forward he’s slow and in the middle he relies so much on his ball winning that he doesn’t run both ways.
Switkowski hasn’t kicked goals for weeks. 9 goals from 12 games isn’t elite.
He won’t be dropped, but he just doesn’t do enough apart from elite pressure

Banfield, Hughes, Clark, Ryan have been horrendous the last two weeks.

In: Darcy, Worner, Erasmus, Frederick
Out: Henry, NOD, Fyfe, Banfield

Henry? Really?

So predictable.
 
A lot will depend if Darcy is fit. Feel like we need to do something to change the small forward mix given how up and down they've collectively been.

Out: Sturt/Banfield (Both completely ineffectual for two weeks in a row - regardless Sturt's junk time goals today), O'Driscoll, Switkowski
In: Darcy (If fit)/Sebit (if not), Worner, Emmett?
 
Our pre bye run was not a fluke, it recaptured the style and mojo of 2022. It is there somewhere and worth searching for. So...
Sebit's 6:0 was great and gives us hope for the future but not next week. Especially if Darcy comes back we have a chance to get our pre-bye forward line firing again.
Banfield has always been our 20-23rd best and gets games based on his effort and occasional great games. Many have said that he is not our future.
NODDY is way out of form.
Hard to drop a player like Fyfe when we just extended his contract.
I dunno about injuries but I assume Aish and Freddie are unavailable.
But at minimum:
Banners and NODDY get a rest
Ras and Jonno get to play the whole game.
?Willo in and Clark gets a run on the wing?
Brodie as sub.

If we are picking WAFL players why wouldn't we consider Colyer, given he actually played HF/Wing as opposed to Worner, and had more possessions and 2 goals also? Neither are also very tall so it is not like there is a height aspect either, and Colyer brings speed and experience as well.

Obviously getting Darcy back would be big for us. Aish and Frederick would also be nice in terms of experience, even if Frederick was not in the best of form.

  • Darcy -> Johnson (rest) or Treacy
  • Aish -> O'Driscoll
  • Frederick -> Banfield

I genuinley forget Colyer still exists.

Also I'll be very pissed off if they take out Treacy when Darcy comes back. We scored 100+ every game we played that forward structure. It works.

Sure understand, but just playing with how I think it could go, I think that could be an option that the selectors consider because of the forecast weather + Treacy's quietness in that game (although I thought he was marking pretty well when he got near it).

I thought Treacy was doing really well even when he wasn't touching the ball. Halved a lot of contests. Does a lot better than Sturt around the ground. Also reckon Treacy would be much better in the wet than sturt.

Sturt isnt competing with Treacy. He is competing with Banfield, Freddie, Switta etc

He is. He would be playing tall along with Amiss and Jackson. Freddie, Switta, Walters, Schultz is already 4 smalls. We need someone who will play third and halve contests. Treacy plays that role much better than Sturt does. It's no coincidence that we looked our best with that set up (switching out Walters/Switta/Freddie whoever was injured each of those weeks).
