Opinion Changes Round 17 vs Carlton

[Bleedblueandgold]

Assuming he’s fit, Petch should retain his spot.

The injury concern is why I left him out.

 

[Grahame]

The injury concern is why I left him out.

Lack of footy smarts is why I’d leave him out.

 

[dajesmac]

Edwards for Rotham
SPS for Yeo
Kennedy for West

 

[Goroyals22]

For mine, I want the bench to be SPS, Trew, Culley, Williams with Foley the Sub.

I know Culley probably isn't 100% ready but I wanna see what he's got. Give him a taste of the top level at home in front of a killer crowd.

Plus it'll allow us to see how a Culley /Trew Midfield will look for the future.

Simpson has said on SEN this arvo that Culley wont play, they will make a big announcement when he is going to

 

[Keys]

Selecting Culley now would be setting him up to fail. He’s not ready

 

[Westend]

So is clark going to be like hutchings forever on the fringe for the next 3 years ??

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

7 Backs: Barrass, Edwards, Bazzo, Duggan, Hurn, Jones, SPS
2 Ruck: NicNat, Williams
6 Midfield: Shuey, Kelly, Redden, Gaff, Hough, Trew
7 Forwards: JK, Darling, Cripps, Rioli, Ryan, Petruccelle, Waterman

So expecting the bench to have Petruccelle, Trew, SPS and Williams with either Foley or Clark as emergency and both held out of Saturday WAFL

Sunday forecast is for light showers in the morning

 

[FKASC]

Edwards for Rotham
SPS for Yeo
Kennedy for West

Not tall enough

 

[Chris_6678]

I would go :

SPS - Backline
Clark - West replacement
Zane
Williams

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: Yeo, Rotham, West, Trew (to sub)
In: Foley, Edwards, Kennedy, SPS (from sub)

Backs: Edwards, Barrass, Bazzo, Hurn, Duggan, Jones, Foley
Mids: Kelly, Shuey, Redden, Clark, Gaff, Hough (wings)
Rucks: Naitanui, Williams
Forwards: Kennedy, Darling, Waterman, Ryan, Cripps, Rioli, SPS
Sub: Trew
Emergency: Petruccelle
WAFL: Witherden, Culley

Petch to be held out since he’s apparently carrying something.

SPS to play mid/forward, can switch back if needed.

 

[Chris_6678]

Mmm i think Zane deserves another game to build on his decent first game. He attended 17 CBD's so they think he at least worth persisting in there.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

If Clark (or West for that matter) end up with Hutchings career they have done well (even without a GF win). 120 game career, a regular for 3 seasons and arguable the league's premier tagger for one of those seasons.

 

[dajesmac]

It’s Carlton.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

You'll take that type of career every day of the week from anyone taken in the fourth round onwards like Clark or West were.

Hell, probably even third round.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Foley, Witherden, Clark and Culley miss out.

Final changes Kennedy, Edwards, SPS for West, Rotham, Yeo.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

None of the four emergencies played last week so whoever gets held out of WAFL, plus the sub if he’s not used, will miss two weeks of footy.

Not ideal.

 

[Keys]

None of the four emergencies played last week so whoever gets held out of WAFL, plus the sub if he’s not used, will miss two weeks of footy.

Not ideal.

Foley to sub as he’s the most versatile

Witherden the non-playing emergency as Clark and Culley need the game time in the WAFL more

 

[The wily weagle]

What is the rationale for Duggan escaping the axe?

His form has been horrible. Or can we chalk this up to "credits in the bank"?

 

[bzparkes]

Trew had to keep his spot, glad they've kept him in. Give him a 4 week block to see what he's got.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Good selection again, nicely done West Coast.

A welcome change of pace.

Duggan should spend some time in the WAFL but we’re better with him playing his best footy than Witherden playing his best, so I can live with it given what the back end of this season is.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Witherden. Can’t lose the opportunity to put minutes at any level into Culley, and to a lesser degree Clark/Foley.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Actually Clark can play HBF, HFF and both inside and outside midfield.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

He might be getting asked to perform a different role this week with HEdwards in for Yeo. HEdwards covers Bazzo's role, Bazzo becomes the third tall (which should be a good fit).

As flat as he has been none of the other options have put up a particularly compelling case for inclusion either and given their ages compared to Duggan's he's not exactly keeping an untried youngster out of the team either.

Duggan has leadership qualities
