Prediction Changes v GWS

[Marlin01]

Jetta in eh. 587th time is a charm.

Awesome.

Not sure if you have seen the ladder but the Eagles actually have 6 wins in 9 games. Now is maybe not the time to start getting games into untried players just to see if they'll be any good.

There's an old saying in gridiron that the most popular player on the team is the backup quarterback (because all the fans think the team will do better if he replaces the starting QB). On this board, the most popular players are every guy at East Perth with fewer than 10 AFL matches under their belt.

We 7 guys 25/under

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

Put into comparison - Freo have 8 this week

That perception v reality thing can be a bit tricky at times hey Ochre

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

It's like some sort of battered person syndrome.

At least he is capable of it that's why you have hope he has a higher ceiling than the other two but hasn't performed yet.

You'd have a point if that post was remotely close to correct.

Freo have 12 blokes under 25 playing this week.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

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

I agree, the knock on him is he doesn't get enough of the ball but then they pick Redden and Jetta....

We have 6 for the record. Two of whom will be 25 in less than a month.

Plus Sutcliffe turning 25 on Tuesday is the only thing stopping Freo being over double us.

Oh I didn't realise.

We should all just sit back, let the status quo continue, and then we can all celebrate our flag at the end of the year I guess.

John Wardrop I think - opposition analyst who we brought across from Hawthorn at the end of 2015

Thanks Keys. That guy looks younger than the one (Waldrop) in this picture, same level of boldness though.

Facts can be a bit tricky at times too it seems

WCE_Phill you're dead to me

Give Jetta at least 3 games in a row to see what he can do and get momentum.
Hell we give guy's with much less up a lot more chances.

This post should come with a flammability warning, it's so packed with straw.

Keys my bad - went for the quick research, a few players surprise me

Join the club. I've been wrong plenty of times and haven't checked before posting something

So you think the group we've played this year can win us the flag?

[Boohemian]

I can't say I'm remotely satisfied with the changes, but at least Hutchings and Mackenzie aren't playing.

 

[Dark Sharks]

It's all part of Simpson's ploy to create an ultimate scapegoat for next week should this game go pair shaped.

The old "Jetta back because maybe just maybe something was wrong the last 8 times we tried"

Coupled with the quintessential "lazy guy" in Hillydardz, for indigenous round no less...

The facebook natives are already going BANANAS about it BT, can you imagine if we lose and they play poor?

Hillydardz and Jettadardz got their 'ole, Simpson will be forgotten.

 

[Keys]

At their best I do but it would take their very best

What's the point of following the team if you don't think they can, might as well start playing for draft picks

 

[Suma Magic]

I'm in this camp:

"Jetta has always been rubbish for us, but imagine if he is good this time! He'd add so much!"

I'm just happy to delude myself.

Probably not, but does not being able to win a flag mean you should just give up and play young players for the rest of the season? Port aren't going to win a premiership this year either; maybe they should just send Gray and Westhoff and Boak to the SANFL to give the younger kids more of a chance.

 

[whatis]

Can't help feeling negative still. I think we will lose and next week it will be Redden for Jetta.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

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.

Exactly what I was thinking. Schofield too is more mobile and faster than Barrass. Even if it wasn't the intention, this team should be quicker than last weeks.
