Prediction Changes v Melbourne (Round 19)

[anchor man]

Please for the love of god rest Fyfe and play Brodie, he froths the wet and actually excels in it

Are you serious... I mean really serious!!!

 

[King Huskii]

Are you serious... I mean really serious!!!

He's correct

 

[King Huskii]

Fyfe was on TV this morning. Sunrise or the Today show with an interview saying how much of an awesome job he's doing. They won't drop him even though he's lost total confidence in his kicking and handballs.

 

[Deathly]

Brodie played 24 games in 2022 but it was clear as day he didn't end the season as well as he started it. Was his first full season at AFL level and played 3x as much as his best season prior (in terms of games played).

Pretty smart by JLo and the MC to let him build up and hibernate in the 2s over the last year and a half.

Starting his 2024 campaign at Round 19 pretty much garuntees we see his best on GF day and a possible Norm Smith.

 

[anchor man]

He's correct

Totally disagree.

 

[doppo]

Funny game this one. I was quite forgiving after the loss in Tassie - but because of that loss, this one becomes absolutely no excuses, must win, most important game of the year. And despite that, I still have one eye on the following week thinking the derby is absolutely no excuses, must win, most important game of the year.

 

[freo_leo29]

Brodie won't play

Yeh I’m deadly serious, I would much prefer Brodie in the wet over Fyfe, Fyfe deserves a rest and Brodie deserves a game

 

[MadMundy]

I don't know where any of you are getting the impression Brodie will play, he's on the extended bench and will get cut.

Darcy and Pearce will be the only inclusions.

 

[Catalpa]

Starting 22
1 of Aish and Walker
1 of Sturt, Walters and Voss
2 of O’Meara, Johnson and Brodie

I guess Voss and Brodie are named for encouragement.

Brodie has a K:H ratio of about 0.5 under WAFL pressure this season. If the problem is Fyfe doesn't kick it much (and if he's getting score involvements with his disposals he could header the ball as his preferred method of disposal for all I care), Will Brodie ain't the solution.

You'd think Walker is a fair chance of taking Aish's spot.

Not if it's wet, i hope.

Wouldn't be sure it will be wet. Forecasts I am looking at indicate early morning showers (if that) and clearing up for the game to be played in cloudy conditions. The ground has good drainage doesn't it? Granted it will probably still be slippery because the playing surface is sub-par.

 

[mattis117]

Walker is our best match up for Pickett, would be shocked if he didn’t play.

Weather forecasts in Perf are about as reliable as a plumber's estimate.

Wrong, Walker will come in as well.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Deathly goes bang!

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Wrong, Walker will come in as well.

I hope so.

If we drop Sonny, Voss and Brodie from the extended bench that's our best 23 out there imo.

 

[King Huskii]

Totally disagree.

Why

His mother was a mudder.

what about Walters as sub? Added nothing against Hawks. Looking slow which for a 177cm 33yo is not going to improve.

 

[freo_leo29]

Anyone remember which game Micky Barlow quoted this in the post game interview?

Was obvs in the wet

Haha nah but would love to see that.

He shouldn't be in the 23.

As a sub he makes no impact

Brodie could help run through the midfield and give guys a breather. I can't believe they won't play a ball winning beast with terrific hand skills but play Walters as sub

Yeah Brodie isn't the best two way runner but Walters had 2 possessions last week and one of them he handball to a Hawks player. Good God!
