Prediction Changes v Essendon

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Interesting times with selection. Is it too much to say the most interesting since we entered the AFL?
I mean 'good interesting' not Chocco-era where gold passes ruled, and good reserve players' careers rotted in the SANFL. Or Primus-era which was like a precursor to Game of Thrones (Chad Cornes as Tyrion Lannister).
The team is stable, very little turnover due to injury or suspension. We have a selection panel which rewards good effort in the SANFL. And once a player is in they tend to get a couple of games.
So with that in mind what happens this week? I've just watched the first 3 quarters of the Hawthorn game. The only player I can't find any positives in is Aaron Young, and IMO he's had enough time that he needs to step down for a while. Who comes in? Wingard obviously if he's fit. Otherwise Eddy.

Not sure why everyone keeps suggesting Hoff out( wishful thinking?) he'll never get dropped as we don't have a like for like replacement and he has cool beard.

For me Toumpas definite out, that first quarter when we were smashing them, beautiful pin point crosses, clean hands etc, Toumpas gets the ball and kicks like Kane Mitchell high floaters. No thanks

Wingard In

Out: Toumpas, Young, Sam Gray, Ah Chee (unlucky)

In: Monfries (Defensive role on Zac Merrett), Eddy (take some pressure off Dixon as Hurley is a way better player than Gibson), Amon (outside pace and skill), Wingard cause he's awesome.

You are kidding right? Drop Ah Chee after 26 disposals, 6 clearances and a goal, and bring back Amon who had 10 possessions in his last game. **** me.

What does Ah Chee have to do to satisfy people on this board? Maybe if he has 40 touches and 3 goals next week he might avoid his name coming up in the changes thread. Maybe.

I just like the balance of my team better.

Jacko is a heart and soul player.... I love him, and always will.

But he's really becoming an elephant in the room in our forward line.

He's keeping Charles away from part time ruck duty and might kick a goal. He can stay.
 
The only problem with Arch is next year's contact. A month ago we are sending him to Gold Coast. Now what do we do?

Cash in.

His ruck work was ok. He did a job we need someone other than Charles doing. We can't go out there with one ruck. Jacko is insurance if a tall defender goes down and he still might kick a goal.

I'll get a chance to watch the replay at sometime but I'm sure Jacko did something useful out there. Paddy's stats didn't look great last night and he's as valuable as anyone out there.

He's a battler in the ruck and is excellent for the 5 minute chop out he gives Ryder.

But he's first and foremost playing as a forward, and he's no good there.

He has to go somewhere?
 
Toump will be out based purely on Ken's First-in-first-out selection policy, I thought he played alright and wouldn't mind giving him an extended run.

Still, I'll take him as an out for Wingard. Would love Monfries for Young too but can't see it happening.

Ah chee out after that game ? I wouldn't call that unlucky. The word stupid comes to mind.

Sign him. But build two weekends on the Gold Coast (off season) into his salary package. Then no-one can say we are inconsistent.

From where I was sitting it looked like it was going to miss before it curled back.
