Preview Changes vs GWS Giants - Round 10, 2021

[Cursedsword02]

Posting a changes thread not even ten minutes after the game ends. That's how I roll!

Anyway assuming Bunga and Flyin' are cleared to play next Sunday, it'll be.

IN: Hurn, Ryan
OUT: Nelson, Ah Chee

 

[Godfather32]

Out: Ah Chee, Waterman
In: Ryan, Hurn

 

[DickDunn]

In: Hurn, Ryan
Out: Cole, Waterman

Waterman goes out to improve our balance. Cole or Nelson is lineball but I like Nelson’s aggression

 

[amazingjoshy]

Out: Nelson, Waterman

In : Hurn, Ryan

 

[kaiserchief13]

Out: Waterman, Cole
In: Ryan, Hurn

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Cant bring in another defender without taking one out
WOULD BE TOO UNBALANCED
So Hurn in
Defender out
NELSON OR COLE
WATERMAN OUT
LIAM RYAN IN

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Hopefully Hurn and Ryan back.

In: Hurn, Ryan
Out: Rotham (no fault of his own, intrigued by Witherden/Hurn together), Waterman.

 

[WCE_phil]

Out: Cole, Williams
In: Hurn, Ryan

Think we can genuinely go in with 1 ruck next week. Would prefer the utility of brander, waterman and allen rather than dropping Waterman and keeping 2 rucks.

 

[woosha24]

Vardy come on down.....

 

[wce4premiership]

Ryan in for Williams.

Allen to be second ruck pushing forward.

Hurn in but it won't be for Nelson surely, they don't play the same role.

Without Duggan down back you need all 3 of Shep, Cole and Nelson as small defenders.

 

[woosha24]

Seriously though how far away are Hurn and Rioli? I thought Hurn was close but Rioli was gonna be closer to the bye?

Yeah...wouldn't want to be too unbalanced...like say playing half a team of talls

Is that you BT?

Oh my god why do I keep doing that!?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

In: Ryan
Out: geez, I don’t know, Waterman probably

Backs: Barrass, Gov, Rotham, Shep, Witherden, Cole, Nelson
Mids: Kelly, Sheed, Redden, Gaff, Brander, Ah Chee apparently
Rucks: NicNat, Williams
Forwards: Kennedy, Darling, Allen, Ryan, Cripps, Jones, Petch
Sub: Waterman
Emergencies: Ainsworth (traveling), Langdon, Edwards

Give Hurn another week to make sure he’s right, and let him break the club record at home.

Waterman’s unlucky. He’s a good sub because he’s versatile and a week off won’t hurt.

Ainsworth to travel because whoever does that will have to miss two weeks of footy, so may as well make it the guy we care least about. Sorry Bubba.

I see what you did there ....

Ryan has to be in for one of waterman or Williams. I thought waterman was OK today (tbf a lot of the team were OK, nothing too spectacular but got the job done).

Are we willing to play Oscar in the ruck, or go full Richmond and try ah Chee?

Hurn obviously comes straight in also, not sure if we drop Witherden (same role), or another back (Cole, Nelson or Rotham). Good to see some pressure fir spots.

Across the country everyone agrees Allen is a champion in the making. Why on earth would you risk banging him up by putting him in the ruck? And it's not even like he is a good ruckman. See Richmond use Pickett - older and expendable? So if you wanna use a non-ruckman (and that maybe a new trend for the game) then use Rotham or Brander or Waterman - not a future champion.
Jesus F Christ it is complete madness! Imagine the howls here if he gets banged up. Besides Williams looks to be developing nicely. If we are too tall drop any of the three mentioned above not Williams with Allen into the ruck.
What's next play Kennedy in the mid field? Kelly at FB?
Faaaaark!

Because Allen is also useful in the contest and very smart in congestion, he can make things happen when he is there. He's also only partially helping out for centre clearances, players like Darling also have a go in different parts of the ground.

The main reason is that it allows there to be 2 or 3 talls with a mixture of smalls depending on the game situation.

They're not running into each other from 20m away like they used to, he's more than capable.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Waterman cost us 3 goals today with his inability to make quick decisions - he goes out for Ryan.

Not sure who is next in the firing line for Hurn - but I would be surprised to see Cole, Nelson or Witherden go out. Maybe Rotham. Will come down to match ups and someone will be unlucky.

 

[Manbearpig77]

Out: Waterman, Cole

In: Hurn, Ryan

No brainer for me. Harsh on them both, but this is a good thing. Just better for balance. We aren't in a bad position.
