Prediction Changes: Round 20 vs West Coast Eagles

[ubiquitous226]

What do we need to do to follow up probably the best win of the season?
We can't afford not to smash them in this game.

 

[mattis117]

Sucks to lose MJ. Hope that isn't a fracture.

Pearce needs to come in. Hope he's good to go.

Ras probably gets the reprieve, although Dudley was probably our best at Peel.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Out: MJ. In: Dudley.

Young to start.

 

[_007_]

Out: Johnson and Banfield
In: Simpson and Walker

FB: Ryan McDonald Walker
HB: Clark Cox Chapman
C: Wagner Young O'Driscoll
HF: Bolton Treacy Switkowski
FF: Amiss Voss Frederick

R: Darcy Jackson Brayshaw

I: Serong Reid O'Meara Worner

S: Simpson

 

[mattis117]

We desperately need to get our percentage above GWS if we can over the next few games.

 

[332docker]

In: %boost

Out: giving up games we shouldn’t lose

 

[ilikepotatoes]

We must make certain we go into this game with killer instinct

None of this expecting to win bullshit and dropping our bundle

We should be smacking the absolute shit out of this current west coast team

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Out: Johnno (Inj)
In: Erasmus or Dudley

Fit Pearce comes in for OMac.

 

[Superkoops]

Out: Johnno (Inj)
In: Erasmus or Dudley

Fit Pearce comes in for OMac.

Ins considered will be Erasmus, Dudley and Walker. Incidentally all three emergencies for this game.

If Pearce is fit he is an obvious replacement for OMac. I’d rather he rest another week and be cherry ripe.

I thought Banfield was solid. NOD made a couple of crucial errors late but he will learn from those. They could for example throw Banners into the forward mix, with Young replacing Johnson and Walker back to defence. Alternatively JOM more wing and Erasmus in.

 

[FreoGirl]

I hope Johnson is ok - he would be the only change (if injured)

Maybe we get Pearce back?

if Johnson injured, then bring in Erasmus or Walker

 

[serial_thrilla]

Do we need Sharp's run on the fat side to replace Johnson? Or shuffle the midfield deckchairs with Erasmus? Or restructure for Dudley?

 

[rgauci]

Sharp / Erasmus or Dudley for Johnson? Assuming he’s injured for 1 week at least.

I wonder if it’s ligaments, Ive felt my ankle ligaments tear and it blows up immediately. I could play the following week though. He’s very good MJ, underrated.

 

[Righteo]

Yes it's their grand final and yes we have a habit of playing down to lowly opposition, but we should be looking at an 80 point win here. I want to put on a hurt so bad that the AFL needs to consider a relegation system.

 

[FreoGirl]

Sharp is a good choice for Johnson - great we have some depth

hope the weather gets better!

 

[Purple Jesus]

Out: Playing down to their level
In: 100+ point win.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Out: Johnson, Omac
In: Pearce, Young

Sub: Ras

Omeara to play more wing.

 

[YelloMit]

I don't care for the changes, so long as Freo don't take it easy just because WC is on the bottom of the ladder. They always bring it in derbies.

Do NOT let West Coast off easy.

 

[Wray27]

Sucks to lose MJ. Hope that isn't a fracture.

Pearce needs to come in. Hope he's good to go.

Ras probably gets the reprieve, although Dudley was probably our best at Peel.

Who plays wing with MJ out. Maybe Wags but need another specialist winger if Sharp doesn’t find form.

 

[Raz]

We desperately need to get our percentage above GWS if we can over the next few games.

I dont think that likely

Fremantle too often take West Coast far too easlily and dont play for big win.

Hope we do. But the last few years suggesst we dont regularly go for kill

 

[wakojako]

They took their foot off the pedal against Richmond, they are definitely saving it for this game. I don't see a blow-out but a close game with Freo running away in the last. We will miss Johnson's blocking this game.

Thinking like that you can get carried away.

It will naturally happen if we stick to the process.

If we get a hold of them early and slip away the motivation gets harder for them to keep up and that's where you can bury the opposition

 

[Rockmelon]

Bring the heat early and they’ll melt

 

[poshman]

Young another game as sub to build fitness wouldn't bother me.

Ras or Sharp in.

Pearce in only if he can train at high intensity without soreness.

Hopefully Johnson is only out for one or two. Does a lot of running and blocking that is valuable with our small midfield. Also took some great defensive marks today.

 

[largebus]

Erasmus for MJ, not Sharp. We need an inside ball winner and you expect they don't want to give Young too much on ball exposure yet

Yes it's their grand final and yes we have a habit of playing down to lowly opposition, but we should be looking at an 80 point win here. I want to put on a hurt so bad that the AFL needs to consider a relegation system.

Their board are already going full lolnorf begging cap in hand for priority picks.
Sadly if we do give them a hiding it just gives them more ammunition for that.

We can't afford not to smash them in this game.

I won't underestimate anyone. Not even west coast .

Take the 15 to 30 point win and no injuries and get it done
