Prediction Changes: Round 23 Vs GWS + pre-match discussion

[freo1997]

Its not worth playing Lobb if he’s still sore, I’m not sure he’s the type to soldier on despite the discomfort. Last week it left us a player down & he should have come off earlier.
Happy to write him off now, give him a few weeks to get it as right as possible & get someone fit in there. Seems a no brainer & I’d be disappointed if he’s named.

Yep agreed. Reckon we can win without Lobby. It’s won in the middle. Give Sturt a crack and give it to him lace out.

If Lobb is unfit to play:
Kuek for Lobb
Fyfe for Tucker
Tucker medi sub
Kuek provides pace, skill and much needed height to the forward line. Also seems quite good defensively.
Has missed a couple of games but has played most of the season So probably has a reasonable fitness base, especially when his genetic make up is taken into account.

Kuek just player Peel reserves my man, there is no chance he is coming in

Kuek for AFL?? He played reserves on the weekend, after missing 2-3 with a calf. Jeez if Kuek gets a game from the WAFL ressies ahead of Sturt then his card would be definitely marked.

Sturt played ok on the weekend - better if he kicked straighter. He could come in and they also bring Meek to share with Darcy up forward. Watching WAFL regularly Sturt’s better games have coincided when Meek or Smith have played up forward. No way Sturt comes in to replace Lobb but as a second fiddle along with Logue/Fyfe, around Meek/Darcy could work.

Actually, he was instrumental in a couple of crucial plays in the last quarter on one arm and a knee into his cracked ribs. I think he is the type to soldier on.

Kuek coming in?
Got to be a wind up merchant that’s suggesting that. There’s a better chance of Sebastian Vettel coming in to the dockers lineup on Saturday than Seb Kuek

Is this Vettel character very fast? If so yeah he is a chance

Technically that's not true.

Vettel is (presumably) not registered in the AFL nor listed by the Dockers, so he'd have to get an exemption to play from the AFL.
Then having never (presumably) played an AFL game in his life he'd have to train the whole planet down and burn the stadium up, never mind the house or the track.

But yeah nah, Kuek isn't coming into the lineup.

Imagine if Jlo said fcuk it, I’m starting Seb Kuek and Roy Benning at CHF and FF in our first final in seven years

The point with Meek coming in for Lobb is he will give a much better contest than we saw from Lobb last week (yes he was sore but we can’t afford that again), additionally it allows Logue to play forward all game & additional to the additionally it allows Darcy time up forward where he is very competent.

The agility lost by having Meek in there over Lobb is absolutely made up by Logue over Tabs, just makes sense to give us a good target while giving our no1 key forward a good rest up for finals, Lobb wont lose his height by resting that's for sure.
Fyfe and Logue as the second and third fiddle stretching the undermanned GWS team.
Feel bad for Tucker, just didn't take his opportunity. Not to say he played poorly, just not well enough to make a strong case to shifting magnets to keep him in. Think Tucker goes to sub and Banfield is the emergency.

So Fyfe in for Tucker (to sub)
Meek in for Lobb (if he doesn't pull up)
Banfield out

This seems the most likely scenario.
Personally would love to see Sturt get a game but would have to be at the expense of Switowski (if his back has flared up) or Schultz, whose been out of form but provides great pressure.

 

[SandiHill]

I just don't want to see Logie bear in the ruck. Play Meek for Lobb. He has earned it and it means he can rotate fwd with Darcy.

The Scott Morrison's have had a shocking 2022.

Well Finn Mundy knows he said the first bit

 

[Nothing]

The sort of player who can fill multiple roles, all at once - and not be great at any of them. A Griffin Logue if you will.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Didnt he get the sack..... from the Wildcats

Nah, he resigned for family reasons. The Wildcats wanted him to stay.

 

[Dale147]

Who’s fit?

 

[freo1997]

Jlo mention Sturt today?

 

[JammoMonty]

 

[sumavich]

Looks like Logue and Lobb won't play.
I'd be moving Darcy forward, with Fyfe.
Meek must ruck

Logue will get up.

 

[freoextra]

Logue will get up.

Hilarious, we really don't have any forwards left do we.

 

[Feathercap]

what’s more dockery, having a terrible injury list all year.

Or having a great injury list all year only to have all of your tall forwards injured or sick save for a rookie coming back from kidney damage on the eve on finals.

In: Fyfe, Sturt (or Banners), Meek

Out: Lobb, Logue, Tucker
