Prediction Changes v Essendon

[Macca19]

Good to have Chad back!

 

[PatientMental]

How can anyone be mad at this? Monfries isn't a wingman.

Young out of form and not kicking goals, Wingard is fit. Only logical change.

First good selections for the year.

 

[Steve Dore]

GAJ or Danger??

Sorry seniors moment, Danger

Toump looked ok I thought last week. Glad he's held his spot.

 

[PAFC66]

Hahahaha hinkley really loves flankers way too much . Watch the bombers rip toumpas to shreads and our forward line wate 99 inside 50s because dixon has 3 defenders on him .

Flankers fire sale.

Seriously what the **** was the point in offering Monfries a contract?

I ain't mad. A little surprised but not mad.

 

[raman]

Happy with that change. Would have been rough on Toumpas, he was serviceable. Certainly better than Young.

A rough call at selection now and again would be nice.

We're nice guys. Insurance against RGray

He was a dead set joke at using the ball. Oh well. Don't know what Johnson, Atley Or Angus have to do.

 

[PowerLil]

Not sure if I agree but we're going over for this one. Go Port!!

 

[Skindy]

I'm guessing they don't want Chad running through the midfield first game back after his injury. So they've dropped Young so he can spend more time forward hmm

 

[drazah]

There's about 8 or 9 players I'd have in over Toumpas, unbelievable that he's still getting games.

I love the work of Monfries, Atley, Palmer, Krak, Neade, Johnson, Drew, White, Eddy, Howard, and Bonner, and I consider all of them closer to our "best 22" than Toumpas.

Pls, you just named three players who aren't wingmen.

Atley - Hope inside midfielder drops out
Monfries and Johnson - Hope a small forward drops out

 

[Pommie power]

All I can think of is the kick out of defence straight to the crows last year costing us the game......

Are any of those players ready made full-time wingmen?

 

[Coobk001]

Surprised that Toumpas holds his spot.

Was an unexpected call up, but we can't deny he did deserve a crack, and whilst last in, first out, looked likely, with 26 touches he outperformed everyone's expectations last week so it was always going to be hard to drop him.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Toumpas is a full time dud

 

[Steve Dore]

Glad Ken has lost patience with Young again but would have like to see Monfries come in. Toumpas was serviceable last week so probably deserves another game. Not melt worthy.

 

[drazah]

I wouldn't call Toumpas "ready made", he still needs to be baked and filled with cheese and toppings.

Wingard plays mostly in midfield and toumpas isn't a forward. That's how. Monfries for young is logical. Slow Dimitri at etihad isn't.

This is fair, on talent, and/or apparent ceiling Toumpas is below many, however right now he's playing good footy and deserves his crack. In one game at AFL level he out did anything Amon had done in 8 games this year. That says a fair bit about his game.

Wingard can play midfield and can switch with Ah Chee who will play mostly up forward. Toumpas will play on the wing, why is this hard to understand?

I disagree. Amon had 3 games this year better than Toumpas had last week, most notably against Sydney in Round 1. But not the best example, I'm not a massive Amon fan. Would rather most of the players I quoted to both Toumpas and Amon. Toump's disposal is just far too poor for AFL level. If we wanted someone with high, inaccurate loopy kicks, we could have kept Kane Mitchell.

"Still getting games" he's had one after a month of great sanfl form. You get a couple of weeks particularly if we win.
