Prediction Changes v Tigers

[Biggie]

Mutimer eh?

 

[Eagleboy68]

Have a feeling Sheed won't get up. Based on ... nothing I guess.

In: Naitanui, McGovern, Jetta, Partington
Out: None yet

B: Sheppard, Barrass, Hurn
HB: Jetta, McGovern, Duggan
C: Cripps, Gaff, Masten
HF: Waterman, Darling, Rioli
F: LeCras, Kennedy, Lycett
R: Naitanui, Yeo, Redden
I: Cole, Hutchings, Ah Chee, Ainsworth, McInnes, Schofield, Nelson, Partington

Last four to miss out when the squad is trimmed tomorrow. Nelson to be held over.

The team is looking stronger and having more depth every week.
Will be scary when Shuey, Venables and Ryan are up and running.

 

[Gods_Son23]

I thought Tyson Stenglein was back for a second

 

[Astro7]

sheed, jetta, ahchee, waterman and one of nelson/schofield.
if sheed not fit = ainsworth.
why would mutimer be a walk up start without being carried as a prior emergency?

 

[twce13]

My theory is someone is in doubt so they are going to hold two for Sunday with a very high likelihood of the 2nd player not playing and hence mutimer.

 

[Forward Press]

Naitanui, McGovern, Sheed and Jetta coming into a team that has won 7 straight.

Phwoar....

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

We'll know more about the ins/outs when East Perth run out on Sat arvo.

 

[dajesmac]

Weird to omit McInnes at this stage for Mutimer when they can just do a simple four in today and four out tomorrow.

EDIT: I guess the emergencies must come from the extended bench so that makes sense.

Plus nobody thought McInnes was going to get another run when Naitanui came back.

Probably significantly less than tomorrow arvo when the team is named

 

[ChampRevesby]

Waterman, Sheed, Jetta, Archie. Pretty straight forward, unless one of them pulls up lame of course.

 

[kerr87]

Love those IN's.

Naitanui nice and rested after a week off... how's going to cause some damage.

 

[WCErevival]

The team announcement says Mutimer selected off good form in the wafl and is a big bodied mid. From reports on here his form has been average and he is playing defence for EP. Bit of a bizarro pick that one. Maybe its a subtle message to other guys pushing for selection.

 

[matt_bas]

Clearly they are bringing Mutimer in for a head to head with Dustin Martin.

Averaging 15 touches, 2.4 marks and 0 goals per game in the WAFL. With dominant stats like that, what's not to like?

Who the **** is Mutimer

 

[matt_bas]

Can't wait for Sunday! Ball bounced NN taps down, Cotchin sharks the ball only for NN to run up to him and ask politely if he can tackle him.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

This has to be the longest interchange I have seen in years.

Well, since last year anyway.

Extended interchanges (typically for Sunday games) are now 8 instead of 7 for some reason.

Because there are now 4 emergencies per game instead of 3

 

[Bestbird]

Think Nelson might still play due to all the small forwards the tigers have.

Which just leads to further questions - why did they increase the emergency list? Not that it's bad or anything, in fact I believe you should have unlimited emergencies and do whatever you want to back up for your first 22 for the game.

AFL trying to crack down on late change shenanigans, I thought - they added an extra player to the extended interchange / emg list, but also added further restrictions about making changes to the listed players after naming them.

Can't find the info on it anymore, and of course the AFL website hasn't updated their regulations doc since 2017.

Probably all just to appease betting agencies

Yeah exactly that. If a coach wants to play mind games with selected sides that should be their prerogative but the gambling companies won't like that.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Mutimer's been moved into defence now, so not really the same position. I guess they want coverage in case one of our small defenders doesn't get up which is pretty important this week against Richmond's mosquito fleet.

Would say that this looks worse for Watson than Parto tbh.

Club thinks he is a midfielder
Mutimer has been rewarded for a solid body of work with East Perth and has good claims as a strong-bodied midfielder.

 

[Biggie]

Love those IN's.

Naitanui nice and rested after a week off... how's going to cause some damage.

With duty of care of course.

 

[Forward Press]

yeh, I'm confused, theres 8 on emergencies with 3 to be omitted, leaving 5 right? - basic maths I know, but why some here still got 4 left on the bench, did i miss something?
..and would they bring Mutimer straight in without being named before..horses for courses?

8 man bench named, tomorrow afternoon 4 will be selected on the bench, with the other 4 as emergencies.

Then 90 minutes before the bounce teams are finalised - this is when an emergency may replace a named first 22 player.
