Prediction Changes v Sydney

[ilikepotatoes]

Really. Would love to read those research findings

I don't have a strong opinion on it like some of my colleagues do but a quick google comes up with this article if you want to have a read:

"Subsequent research shows that rest and ice can actually delay recovery. Mild movement helps tissue to heal faster, and the application of cold suppresses the immune responses that start and hasten recovery. Icing does help suppress pain, but athletes are usually far more interested in returning as quickly as possible to the playing field. So, today, RICE is not the preferred treatment for an acute athletic injury (36)."

Anyway going off topic here for the changes thread sorry.

I would seriously consider dropping Amiss for Voss. Jye needs to sort out his set shot routine.

Out of left field..
Voss in, Pearce out (if injured)

Jackson goes down back.

Sorted.

Jackson has been underwhelming this season .

Looking at the way Pearce fell. Where the ice on the arm was.
And that his bones are made of chalk.

I reckon Pearce has at least a fracture

Our key position defenders next week are Draper and Davies

Welcome back I the big time boys

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

if we're serious Brodie or Raz in for Fyfe

Hopefully moose in fine.

Wagner a better option than Mr turnover

I agree.

 

[stax on the mull]

Cox has practically been ruled in for more WAFL next week by Longmuir post-match.

Cox has practically been ruled in for more WAFL next week by Longmuir post-match.

What's our plan for next week then? Davies and Draper will be destroyed by Sydney. Even more so if they get Chappy for a week.

Second this.

Treacy back up to Darcy.

Jackson CHB.

Pearce injury looked like a hyper extension of his elbow

 

[mattis117]

Pearce injury looked like a hyper extension of his elbow

He had the ice on the forearm though. Fair bit of doubt about what it actually is.

JL specified forearm, not elbow.

**** i forgot about him

 

[ilikepotatoes]

**** i forgot about him

Let me be very clear - he's not my preference.

But I can see him coming in for some extra aerial presence and experience.

 

[Footskill]

If AP is out they should consider Hughes against the swans. Having Davies and Draper together would be disastrous..

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Hamling would have played every game this season if Young didn't turn his head.

You could argue we'd be a game or 2 better off for it as well.

 

[Belnakor]

If Alex Pearce misses next week it will be the first time since 1995 and only the second time in dockers history we field a team in an AFL game with no indigenous player

Unless we play Draper

 

[Dockeroo]

Unless we play Draper

Not indigenous as far as I’m aware. I believe he has Ethiopian heritage. Others here may clarify?

Conrad Williams is the only other indigenous player on the list I think. And well, if they bring him in to preserve a record, when he’s nowhere near AFL level yet, I give up. It won’t happen though.

 

[bushchook]

It's not really Swan's tall forwards that I am worried about. It's just everything else.

Yeah according the AFL it's only Pearce, Walters and Williams.

 

[StingBitten]

The absolute winner this year is the ****ing putrid and corrupt VFL fixturing.

A 6-day break against Sydney with a game starting at stupid o'clock (11.30am) after Sydney has an extra-day break playing in Sydney against GWS.

Might've been fair if we had the same back last time, but wait no - we had a 5 day break last night time and Sydney had an extra-day rest on us then also!

There needs to be a royal inquiry into the raw-dogging the VFL has given us this year.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

No chance. Free kick was all it's worth.

I agree it’s only a free but are we at the point where a dangerous tackle is only a free and not a week? It’s murky waters. You can’t say for sure what the MRO will do with these incidents.

 

[332docker]

Gutted about Pearce - am sure his team mates were/are too

Was unlucky not to get a free in that incident

He didn’t pin his arms, he’ll be fine

it was an interesting read

Lost Hamling, Wilson, and Henry last year who all could've gotten a game now too.

this is insane, compared to what we have had to deal with
