Prediction Changes V Essendon

[WCE Wizard]

Sheed has to go back and get some form. He had been shit for the last month.

Brander needs to be givens game where he gets supply so he stays. FFS he is the future and you do not give up after one game.

Cripps and Nelson both look lost.

In: Barrass or Schofield, Ah Chee, Petrucelle
Out: Sheed, Nelson, Cripps

Yep agree

 

[WCE Wizard]

Sheed will be given a spell.

Brander, well that was a tough debut game. Hopefully gets another crack v Essendon.

I think Arch/Hutch will come in for Sheed

Would like to see Lecca and Cripps given a scare - Petrol and Arch are thereabouts.

At least lecras tackles

 

[Candiru]

Cripps is giving us very little, I'm sorry to say.

 

[Gizza]

At least lecras tackles

Lecras had 2 tackles tonight compared to Sheeds 4 and Cripps 5. So I'm really not sure what you're trying to imply in this comment. I thought Cripps was woeful, but there's no denying he tackles.

 

[Shupe]

Apology accepted.

 

[Candiru]

Apology accepted.

What do you mean?

 

[Shupe]

What do you mean?

You're the one that apologised.

 

[Biggie]

At least lecras tackles

This game or season?

Lecca have a few free kicks frommemelry tonight, like he didn’t give a flying Ryan tbf

 

[Candiru]

You're the one that apologised.

Oh, OK.

 

[The wily weagle]

I would be looking to drop Sheed and Jetta

Sheed for obvious reasons, he has been shithouse. That kick to inside 50m in the last quarter when we were lifting that went straight to the opposition was an absolute momentum killer.

Jetta is still running around half assed out there like he just doesnt give a f*&k. Just no desire. Thats 2 games back to back now where he just looks like he cant be bothered. Send him to East Perth until he finds some intensity and actually looks interested.

At this point Cripps only hold his spot because we haven't seen what happens in the WAFL this week. If Petch plays a good game and bobs up for a few goals, I think he should be an inclusion. Same goes for Venebles when he is healthy. Cripps for me is a placeholder.

Cant drop Brander after 1 game, give him another week. I actually don't mind his inclusion this week because now he can see first hand just how far away from the mark he is atm. Has a lot of work ahead of him.

Ah Chee stands to be the most likely inclusion, followed by Hutchings.

 

[Shupe]

Oh, OK.

Love you

 

[Candiru]

Is it worth picking one of the Allens as another forward option? Now's the time if we want to have a look at them.

 

[dave123]

lecras Cripps.........two like for likes ....we have Ryan and Rioli ...that’s four small forwards

Is that too many ......yes is my call

The problem with the Allens is they are only doing okay in the WAFL. It's not like they are demanding selection.

Don't care. We need someone who can lead at the ball carrier for a 20-metre pass. JK on his own is one-dimensional.

Rioli Darling Cripps

Ryan JK Waterman


Bench: Lecras

That isn't too much. We are just use to playing mids in fwd which is not meant to be... You could argue Venables may be a better HF but that's it.

Are we really that desperate that we are bringing in underserving players and just hoping that it will work out?

 

[Luuuc]

I wouldn't drop Brander just for having a quiet one in a baptism of fire game. Waterman has been superb this season and he had little influence too.

In: Petruccelle
Out: Sheed

Bombers: you in danger.

 

[ghostbat12]

Will be sheed for ah Chee. We are carrying too many young or underdone players to introduce a young one.

But sheed needs the twos. He just isn’t mentally tough enough for afl.

 

[Candiru]

It's about responding to what happened tonight. We're not desperate but I reckon we want to have a look at some other forwards this season, no? With Darling sidelined, this is the time for that.

Might be Hutchings also for Sheed?

Then maybe we should give the 1st year young forwards who are in the team now a chance to do just that? Waterman has been good this year. Brander has just had his debut.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Shit game to be a forward tonight . Out numbered with shit delevery . Lecras had to be thrown into the midfield to get him into the game .

Sheed had a shocker needs a spell .
Brander should play till darling gets back

Out sheed in barrass

 

[Candiru]

By all means, if that's their game. Tonight they weren't deployed that way. Or were unable to tick that box. We have to respond to what we saw tonight in terms of forward entries.

Indeed. It was tough out there for the whole team but Waterman has shown something already this year and Brander was probably nervous as hell but that is unavoidable.
