Prediction Changes v GWS

[Eaglespur]

Just read Jetta is in?

How dare you

 

[Biggie]

How dare you

I'm a daredevil.

We've danced this dance before, no?

 

[RookiePick]

...and yet somehow I still find myself hoping that Jetta will have a blinder.

It's like some sort of battered person syndrome.

 

[dispute]

At least Nelson gets a game. Happy to back Jetta in as at least his form in the WAFL shows that he has been trying.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Why the hell dont they just give Karpany a few games.

 

[larrikin]

I'm a daredevil.

They really want this to work, don't they?

...and yet somehow I still find myself hoping that Jetta will have a blinder.

It's like some sort of battered person syndrome.

Yeah, me too.

 

[new breed]

The two players brought in Nelson and Jetta both have good pace , which is good and needed.

Hill also has added pace so maybe the MC has targetted our lack of pace.

 

[Keys]

So final changes are effectively

Nelson for Wellingham - this was a no brainer given wellers injury. Probably saved Butler

Petrie for McInnes - six of one, half a dozen of another. Both players unlikely to be on our list next year and are placeholders for Lycett. Would have preferred big Fraser on the basis that he might be salvageable as depth and had been OK in his two games. Not sure Petrie offers much more although he is a competitive bugger and won't mind mixing it with Mumford which probably got him over the line
Schofield for Barrass - sexual has been a little out of sorts recently but since other players have been given an opportunity to respond he perhaps can consider himself a little stiff.
Hill for Mutimer - moots has had a taste which will hold him in good stead having seen what AFL is like. I'm ok with Hill coming in but would perhaps have preferred Karpany to be given a shot.
Jetta for Redden - Redden needed to be dropped, I don't think anyone could argue otherwise. Hutchings would have been a more like for like but they've gone with outside run in preference to contested ball. Change only works if Jetta comes in with the right mindset and works his skinny little arse off

Players like Sheppard, Butler, Masten, Lecras, Duggan and Priddis who have all been inconsistent need to lift. Cripps would also want to have more impact than he did last week

Karpany, Lamb and Partington I hope have been assured that they're close and to keep plugging away

[Double the Fist]

How dare you

**** off jetta

 

[Double the Fist]

Karpany, Lamb and Partington I hope have been assured that they're close and to keep plugging away

Amen.

...and yet somehow I still find myself hoping that Jetta will have a blinder.

It's like some sort of battered person syndrome.

Hah, I feel exactly the same way

Ins ages: 34, 28, 28, 28, 21

Awesome.

You sunk my battleship

 

[Double the Fist]

Ins ages: 34, 28, 28, 28, 21

Awesome.

Jesus. Surely we must be the oldest team going around. What a ridiculous situation that is.

 

[Ochre]

Darling turns 25 in two weeks and he'll be the fifth youngest player in the team. That's ridiculous

 

[WCErevival]

Play the kids!!!

 

[Crimson King]

Was hoping for Karpany but Jetta will do. Really hoping he can seize this opportunity and not look back.

 

[Double the Fist]

Darling turns 25 in two weeks and he'll be the fifth youngest player in the team. That's ridiculous

This is what the bench will look like on the weekend....

 

[WCErevival]

Darling turns 25 in two weeks and he'll be the fifth youngest player in the team. That's ridiculous

He's actually the 6th but anyway we have group of guys that are 25.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Individually I like all the changes bar Petrie for McInnes (Nelson was a no-brainer, ditto Hill, Barrass was looking jaded, it's a good time to trial Jetta again for a block of games).

On balance though I agree that the age makeup is off-kilter. Should have found room for Parto or Karps in there somewhere.

 

[Jootube]

"I won a Brownlow goddamnit!"

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

GWS have 10 players playing this weekend who are better and any of our players.

hahahahahahaha

 

[eaglespremiers]

You sunk my battleship

I love a good Jim Carrey quote.

 

[WCE_Phill]

Darling turns 25 in two weeks and he'll be the fifth youngest player in the team. That's ridiculous

We 7 guys 25/under

Yeo, McGovern, Gaff, Duggan, Cripps, Sheed, Nelson

Put into comparison - Freo have 8 this week
