Prediction Changes v GWS R16

[FKASC]

Our forward line

 

[Eaglespur]

Soooo Cripps is our senior leader in the forward line all of a sudden

 

[Dark Sharks]

Marsden will be named captain at this rate with all these injuries.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Soooo Cripps is our senior leader in the forward line all of a sudden

As opposed to last weekend?

Apparently WC offered Ryan a game this weekend but he said no... Pretty disheartening if he did decline to play this week.

I'm not that sold on Petch this week. He hasn't really been lighting East Perth up that much. It's clear that either Mallen or Brander will be in this week and Vardy will swap for Mcinnes. Sheed will come in for Ainsworth.

 

[FKASC]

I don’t get why we played Ainsworth last week if we are going to drop him again.

I'm the opposite tbh.

Good on him for trying to sort out the kinks in his life.

Nah - Hurn is one tough customer. Can't remember the last time if ever Hurn has been out injured?

Disheartening in the sense that he's obviously struggling enough to put his hand up and sit out. I didn't mean it as in "I feel let down" by any means, hoping he can feel better first and foremost.

I'm with you, I actually liked Ainsworth's game last week considering he wasn't on the ground much. I think WC need to stop swapping and dropping. In saying that, I just know WC will give Sheed his spot back this week.

He is pretty green so probably just giving him a taste every now and then. Not saying it's the correct call but he probably is down the pecking order a bit. How many minutes did he play last weekend? Also probably still has to work on his skills. All very well to get the ball - but it's what you do with it afterwards that counts.

 

[Mulldogg]

Concerned that with Vardy, Lycett & Nic we’re going to be far too tall.

Vardy appears to have played well for EP on the weekend so if he is going to come in is it worth giving NN a spell this week to get him in better condition against Grundy the week after?

Then maybe someone a bit more mobile (Mallen) can also come in the play purely in the fwd line.

 

[Matera92]

Wheels are well and truly off now!

Well apparently from those in the know Sheed had a very good game last week in the 2s and we do need a bit of grunt in the midfield.

What is Sumich doing this weekend?

Na, just thinking out loud, could have said the same about last weekend.

Reserved for blaming you if this happens

 

[frenchconnection]

Good catch - mistake on my part

Here it is with Sheppard.

Took out Partington/Sheed but could easily be Ainsworth.

At this stage would take out Ainsworth and put in Sheed. Ainsworth still has a bit to learn - like his effort though.

Yes do hope I haven't jinxed him!

Waterman played better than McInnes and took more marks (5 to 2), a measly goal by McInnes means bugger all, Lycett may have taken zero marks but he received four frees for being impeded in one on one marking contests.

If Waterman can't learn how to kick goals though he's not much use either, particularly when we need him to with the main players being out injured. Goals are what wins games!

Has he kicked a goal in the last 4 weeks? Maybe 1 or 2?

What is Sumich doing this weekend?

Smoking cones with Dark Sharks.

 

[frenchconnection]

its nice Sheed's had good WAFL form but in reality that doesn't ensure AFL form, but unfortunately that's the only barometer we have.

Well it's better than having bad form in the WAFL then bringing him in - as you said WAFL form is the only barometer we have. Being serious do you know what area of his game that the coaches want him to work on, and has that been addressed?

Waterman probably needs a rest, but if it's a choice of having a forward not performing then I'd rather get game times into our future, not our failed past.

Isn’t that a poor showing that our number 1 draft pick if 2013 and Lark Medallist is a line ball all versus a 2017 late 2nd rounder
