Prediction Changes v WCE elimination final

[Royale]

Not disappointed by Roberts exclusion but still surprised.

Forward structure will be interesting
I expect some surprises there too

Personally not surprised. Bevo is going all in with our midfield. Either we win the ball or we lose the game. I love it.

 

[Doggies_13]

Surely a late change for west coast. Look top heavy

It's strange to name brown they would think if Lycett will be out they have just had him emergency

 

[yebiga]

eagles lose Jetta, bit of pace gone right there.

Agree - Jetta can cut you up for a couple of quick goals.

Leaves us with JJ as the fastest on the park.

Can't fathom clay smith over Mclean and hrovat.

Highly likely hrovat, Stevens, campbell and honeychurch will never pull on the doggies jumper at AFL level again.

Unless someone doesn't come up next week.

 

[Maverick Dog]

We need run a carry and good foot skills. We have more run and carry but have too many players with suspect skills being Dunkley, smith, Dahl etc. McLean should be in instead of Clay.

Cordy can go back if necessary and wood can play and run off the rating ruckman.

 

[giblj]

Not a bad list of ins!

 

[yebiga]

Can't believe we continue to persist with Clay this year. I hope that I'm proven wrong about the selection but going into the game with him, Dunkley and Jong is almost laughable. We need ball use!!! McLean and/or Hrovat should be playing. Jong, Dunkley and smith rotating forward hasn't worked all season. Why does Bevo think it will work now in a final ?

McLean hasn't found form
Hrovat like Stevens performs v the lower ranked teams.
Wce have been manic - smith can match that and then some.
Dunkley can't be dropped kids having an awesome season. Jong well there doubts over loner and macrea

 

[Doggies7]

I don't think Clay deserves to be dropped. Will benefit from the break and to freshen up, kicked 2 of our 6 goals against Freo on this ground in our last game and was decent with 15 Touches, 4 Marks, 3 Tackles. Courageous, hits hard and sticks tackles. Provides a good lead option on the flanks and through the middle which we need tomorrow too, so I definitely understand why he's playing.

 

[Martyn_30_]

I can't believe the Eagles would bring in Brown it makes no sense at all.

I feel as though Maclean and Campbell will come in if the team wins, as 7 changes might be seen as to many.

I legitimately don't rate about 1/4 of their side, I think we're stronger - especially with those ins.

Momentum is gone for you flat track bully pretenders, it's our time

Rapt that Smith is in. Built for finals. Would not be surprised to see him among our bests.

Jong and Dunkley makes too many butchers IMO.

Macleans ducking won't work in WA in a final. Good to see small bodied shrimps like him and Hrovat are out.

FINALLY FLETCH IS DROPPED. There is a footy god.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

A simple question to those not sure why Clay Smith is in the team... Have you ever watched finals footy?

So Jong and dunkley make too many mistakes but clay smith doesn't???

Smith kicks goals, as does Jong.

No we can't carry all three IMO. I'd drop one of Jong or Dunkley. Smith is well ahead of them as a footballer currently IMO.

Finals footy suits Kamikaze Clay, personally can't believe you'd prefer Maclean, a bloke who mainly plays for frees, to him - each to their own I guess.

 

[compact72]

Interesting for Roberts. Probably feels like shit. Used for the whole year with no injuries then booted out. Harsh game sometimes

 

[Norm De Guerre]

So much this. Say what you will about Clay, he's been hitting the scoreboard.

He had his finals chance last year and completely f$cked it up. Our chances of being competitive just increased significantly IMO.

 

[StringyDog]

Roughead, Wood, Libba, Macrae, Stringer for Minson, Stevens, Roberts, Williams, Hrovat is my guess, would prefer Williams to stay in for Smith though

Bingo bango, this is good team, Injured Stars back Stringer back Stevens out Roberts out love your work Bevo

 

[Ozil]

Anyone else breathing with the aid of a brown paper bag at the moment?

 

[BRWB]

So much this. Say what you will about Clay, he's been hitting the scoreboard.

Even Jong as well. (Washing my mouth out)

Dunkley worries me, rabbit in the headlights in front of goal at present. Plus he is a butcher. He may end up good but I'd prefer Webb or Williams.

 

[giblj]

So much this. Say what you will about Clay, he's been hitting the scoreboard.

Also are there many people you'd rather to go into battle with than Clay? Picko, Libba and Moz maybe, but we've got all them too!

 

[JEDi 44]

I expect to see Clay play predominantly forward like the GCS game

 

[BRWB]

I expect to see Clay play predominantly forward like the GCS game

If he can get a couple of goals and maybe break Hurn that's a win.

 

[Del165892]

Really glad that we've backed Clay in. Probably my favourite player now. I can't see Hrovat and Stevens being at the club next year after this.
