Prediction Changes vs. Brisbane

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

I can handle no Atley. No Howard is a sackable offence though.

Just like his team, Ken has no ability to seize the moment.

Neade will kick 2-3 goals as we annihilate Brisbane and keep his spot for 8 weeks doing SFA while Howard toils away in the 2s.



Raise you Cameron Cloke.


Can you imagine the possibility that Howard comes into the side , kicks a bag against a woeful Brisbane that gives him a huge confidence boost and he never looks back as he goes on to become the gun forward we desperately need? Well Hinkley is about to piss all hope of that away
 
Pros
Houston in

Cons
No Atley
No Howard
No Palmer
Hartlett retains his spot (Pittard has been better than Hartlett)
Sam Gray retains his spot (Ah Chee has been better than Gray despite significantly less opportunity)
No message sent to Robbie Gray despite his disgraceful on-field behaviour and body language
Jake Neade somehow finds himself on the list of ins (I've already named three guys above who deserve to be ins over Neade and if I could be bothered I could name several more).

Hugely uninspiring changes.

This. Exactly. Seize the moment. Seize the high confidence. Seize the straight kicking. Seize the tremendous effort put it to come back so well from injury. Seize bringing him in against a team that prefers a shootout and not a hardened defensive unit sitting in top 4. But noooooooo, lets bring in recycled Neade and Young ffs.
 
Comparing Jayden Hunts pace to Pittards :drunk:. I don't see Pittard breaking too many lines, instead he gets done htb.

I wonder how much the pinged hamstring from the JLT game against Richmond has played on Pittard's mind. His daring runs out of defence have just about evaporated this season.

This.

I'd quite happily delist Jake Neade tomorrow, but even if we absolutely had to pick him for 21 out of 22 games, this is the one game that he especially shouldn't be playing. A golden development opportunity has been pissed away on a bloke who's been on the list for 5 years and 51 games without showing an ounce of development.

Another Con: Our coach praised our captains plodder standard performances instead of giving him a rocket or dropping him.

God I love it when we pick a small, low ceiling small forward instead of a developing tall deserving of selection when we play Brisbane at home.

I wish sports bet had a market for Pittard to be a late inclusion.

Yet another wasted chance to reward great from in the 2's. Doogs kicked 8 FFS!
Exactly. Ken saying Youngies form was too good to ignore and in the same breath says something along the lines that Dougs' 8 was against West who are struggling. W T F.
Neade and Impey in the forward line getting 10 touches each isn't the answer.
 
I know Ken would favour Neade.

I have no problem with him coming in.

I disagree on these two points. Pittard was just as bad as Hammer last week, and also hasn't had a good game all year.
Personally i'd drop them both, move Trengove back and have hombsch play Hammer's role with Howard in Trengove'd role (a man can dream), but i agree with Jasper being dropped first, just.

On S Gray/Ah Chee: I think they have both played well in different roles. The kicker between the two is speed. Ah Chee is one too many slow inside mids in the side - with Ollie, Ebert, SPP & Ah Chee - we could not cover their transition through the midfield. (Which is wjy i don't have Atley as an in).
 
All issues of form and development aside. I can't believe we're playing Sam Gray, Jake Neade and Jarman Impey in the same week. Such a terribly unbalanced side.
