Prediction Changes v GWS

[frenchconnection]

Barrass walked into training with strapping on his lower leg , bit pedantic but might be rested for Mackenzie or Schofield , hasn't been the same player recently Barrass , but its a tough competition to keep up high standards in .

Somebody told me this morning that Barrass may not be fit enough to play & was carrying some kind of injury. Perhaps he's been playing injured which is why his form has dropped off a bit.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Any chance this bloke can come out of retirement!!!!

His last game of competitive footy was about four years ago. So I'd suggest not.

 

[frenchconnection]

I reckon Schofield and McKenzie (if he's finding form) offers this team the best hope of making a meaningful structural change. Here's two tall senior players who can come in and potentially offer a new dynamic, for example releasing McGovern up the ground where opposition talls have absolutely flogged us.

Prefer McGovern playing back. Just don't think he offers that much up forward.

If this is true, I hope we do the right thing by him and bring back Schofield or Mackenzie

The good news is I reckon there's 10 players who could legitimately consider themselves chances of a call up this week - MacKenzie, Schofield, Nelson, Hutchings, Partington, Jetta, Karpany, Lamb, Hill and Petrie. Some more likely than others obviously.

So there's plenty of scope for the match committee to #sendamessage

Simmo did say that one thing we did have was a lot of depth, on the couch.
One thing having the depth, another exploring it.
For years we have seemed to just scratch the surface of our depth, unless we have multiple injuries we are generally lucky to see 2 or 3 new faces throughout a season of footy.

Here's the source everyone has been crying out for

Rather depressing news, just as it started to look like we were getting back on top of our injury list.



PS - More importantly than all that shit ^ is Naitanui showing good calf raise form at 1.51

Clearly he's following that program i sent him.

Allens injury news has saddened me, looked to be getting some form behind him.

Yeah I can't remember the last time we made four or five changes. Simmo has been talking tough about making changes so hopefully he follows through.

 

[bombard]

Not the thread I realise, but the club are increasingly predictable/laughable when it comes to injury news. What gain did we have from adding extra mystery to Allen's foot problems by using "soreness" last week? Honestly. Pisstake.

 

[Double the Fist]

surely this is pistake?

Nah, I like it. New blood, youth and enthusiasm. Not the same cruisy bullshit from campaigners like Wellers Lecca et al,

You are a funny guy Fivey.


Or delusional that this will come true.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Whilst we are still contending in terms of ladder position, we probably won't make too many changes, particularly to some of the senior players that should maybe be moved on. But the reality is we look a long way off actually being good enough to win a premiership. Whilst it is still earlyish days in the season and our form could turn around, it really doesn't seem likely that we will win a premiership any time soon the way we have been playing for the last 18 months. Personally, I think we need some key changes (mostly in the midfield of course) and to take the pain that that involves (in terms of dropping games) but we simply won't do it while we continue to win more than we lose. I think the best we can hope for is to expose more youth to senior footy, which we seem to be doing to an extent and hope for some tough decisions towards the end of the year.

Maybe next time the boys fly east they can just put re-runs of Beau and Woosha highlights might inspire a couple blokes

The most favourable justification I can conjure is that last Thursday/Friday they didn't know the severity of the injury

Allen trained on the Monday recovery session and whilst I wasn't watching him closely or the players did all that much there was no signs that he was hampered in any way

Maybe it flared up after Wednesday's main session so they ruled him out for the weekend because he was sore and later scans revealed the stress injury that they're being conservative with

The fact he was in a moonboot at the WAFL game on Saturday was a bad sign

So it is plausible I guess that they didn't know just how severe the injury was when they tweeted "soreness". I will piss myself if they ever tweet #partingtonsdisease as a reason for an out

[Dark Sharks]

Just heard JK burnt himself when he spilled his coffee.

Club has him listed at 8 weeks.

Change the club song while we are at it

Please. They obviously just didn't know how severe it was.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

Stevie J and Lobb both out. Surely we will win big here. Unchanged: No one in our team played bad at all. Masten lecras have just about 1000 lives or sleeping with simmo himself.

 

[its_dave]

In: Nelson, Schofield, MacKenzie, Jetta, Hutchings, Partington, Karpany, Lamb, Petrie, Hill, Rioli

Out: Wellingham, Barrass, Butler, Masten, Redden, Priddis, Mutimer, Darling, McInnes, LeCras, Cripps

Wow! Whose getting imaginative? Wrong club for serious creativity. Probably only one change this weekend. Nelson for Wellingham

What is it with us and ****ing foot injuries

 

[Ok Boomer]

Nelson in for Wellingham seems obvious now.

Redden and Priddis should be out.

Hill in for someone, no thanks to Drew Petrie, give McInnes one more go.
