Prediction Changes V Essendon

[ep2018]

Solid changes. Need some experienced heads to pull off a win tomorrow night when we are missing our two best forwards. Essendon are up to their eyeballs in this sadly and the MC have responded appropriately.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

I think big frase will play FF and waterman chf . I dont like the idea of waterman and brander going up against Hurley and hooker .

Good choice in Frasier to straighten us up and draw a good defender .

Just want to keep getting 4 points tbh and i dont care if we scrap and have to play honest wafl tryers like Frasier schoey snd hutch

 

[FKASC]

Hopefully next week England gets a debut.

I see what you did there

 

[Monocle]

If we are going to be any chance to beat Essendon we are going to need NN and Lycett to kick three between them.
As well as that..... we will need our mids kicking 6 goals minimum collectively.

The forward line should be good for half a dozen goals lets hope the Frenchman has a night out.

 

[Hai_Newman]

This may be the most uninspiring team changes in recent memory.

Hutchings, McInnes and Schofield...ugh

Check out this dude...

Yeo kicks 2. 1 each for Shuey, Gaff and Hutch. Ryan kicks 2 1 for McInnes and 3 for LeCras. It's doable. Hope leaping kicks straight this week.

A little bit of sarcasm.My concern is that at Wafl level and Afl level players are getting games before they are ready.People are pumping up the tyres of young players.Honestly thought that Branders form has diminished from early in the season and he got a game on early form.People arealso pumping up the tyres of Oallen even tho he has hardly played any kpf and no kpf.Does he deserve to be in front of Matthew Allen in the pecking order.I would say no.Mcinnes form has been decent at wafl level but due to not having a viable second ruckman has played a lot as the main ruck.He deserves a go first.He played all right earler in the year.

I agree somewhat but I think supporters have attributed our success this year to the coaches rolling the dice with young players despite not knocking the door down at wafl level.

To some level I agree with them - there’s nothing like an injection of youthful enthusiasm to regenerate a team.

But Brander should have been held back last week - it kind of makes it worse now that he’s being dropped after one game than if he had have never debuted in the first place.

Hey guys, sorry to intrude on your board, have been told J,K has a suspected broken leg, played the game out under duress, will be out at least 6 weeks

Looks like this Collingwood dude has some good sauce

 

[numbat06]

Don't mind the changes
Jetta and Cripps must be getting close to the chopping block

 

[its_dave]

Wheres the Petch? At least Hutchings is in. Bummer Barrass not back but Schofield will do good job. Imagine if Shepard was an out.

 

[Chris_6678]

Shoud have had this forward line:

Vardy. mcinnes waterman
O allen. Brander. M allen

And then nic nat olongo lycett as rucks. Gov to swing forward tooZ

you're not serious are you?



vardy should be FP not HFF

 

[wce4premiership]

To the midfield - Cole, Duggan or Nelson?

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Would of gone Vardy over McInnes.

 

[Eagleboy68]

I wonder how Frase will go with Shuey, Jetta and Masto kicking to him i50 instead of P. McGinnity.

And priddis

Ainsworth debuted then got dropped and has been great at WAFL level. If Brander goes back and gets 3 or 4 and McInnes gets nothing and we lose (worst case scenario) Brander will get another game straight away. Nothing wrong with getting a taste then going back and working on weaknesses for a young player.

Vardy not match fit I assume'

Your HF line is fine for U18's but would be decimated

different kettle of fish.

Brander is a very young tall who isn't physically mature to play his role. Mids and others can get away with a lot more

 

[ziad]

I am glass half full over the game. I hope we take the opportunity to be much smarter kicking into 50 without two key fowards. It could be a great learning exercise.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Anyone worried about tomorrow night?

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Would of gone Vardy over McInnes.

Been underwhelming coming back from groin injury. Only 3rd game back after missing the end of the preseason. Think he also got another injury in Rd 5 playing for East Perth.

Definitely but if he outperforms McInnes then he has a chance to get another game. I think he will be really putting his hand up for selection after next preseason at the earliest. Your right he needs some muscle and development time.

Petch got bumped by Ryan coming back. Playing ok in the WAFL.

Understand that but he has proven himself at the top level and he is more likely I think to grab a few marks forward than McInnes.
