“He’s close. If he’s not ready now he is not far off. He’s probably got a bigger leap than Nic.” Simpson on Williams

“It’s not just this week, but we’re going to work through that. We’ve played some untried ruck options. Keegan Brooksby and Bailey Williams are in the mix.” Simpson on ruck options

 

[Gaffy Duck]

Sounds like Williams is coming in

 

[kane249]

Apparently JK is a chance for a rest, if you give any merit to rumours.

He's only played 3 of the last 5 weeks? Strange

 

[Gaffy Duck]

I read that as he’s not coming in

He looked quite sore in that last 1/4 last week...

If we are playing 2 ruckman plus Allen and JK i wouldnt be bringing in Waterman.

I can't buy into it, but he looks to be struggling. I put it down to being sick the week before last. Few articles online and office chatter is that he won't be making the trip.

 

[Chris_6678]

Being crook for a couple of weeks can really mess with your conditioning. And at his age it does get harder.

 

[amazingjoshy]

JKs playing according to Simmo

Been checking this thread every few mins for 2 days even though i know side won't be named till Thursday evening.
Only 13 mins to go.

How come our game is the only one with no teams announced yet? Did I miss something or?

 

[kaiserchief13]

The potential ins all on the bench

 

[Chris_6678]

M Allen, Watson and Williams on the bench so surely one debuts?

No WAFL this week so a good opportunity to travel plenty of kids (and maybe even debut some).

I'm gonna guess Waterman and Petracelli. Disappointing no Ah Chee

Always getting injured at inopportune times is Sneeze

 

[HoneyBadger35]

So Petch for Cripps selects itself, then one of Waterman or Williams for NN.

Nice that Williams is so close to the side.

 

[Balls In]

That'll keep em guessing. In - 2 forwards (tall + small), 2 defenders (tall + smallish), 1 ruckman, 1 midfielder and among them 3 blokes no-one has ever seen at AFL level.

On the contrary - debutants normally get signalled in advance - with puff pieces etc

I reckon you can put a line through them

Petch/Puddles in for NN/Cripps

Yes
6 ins including Waterman Watson Petrol Allen Williams schoey

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Is that the first time Watson is on the extended list?

That's a positive

 

[Coasters7]

Sheed and Nelson on the bench so there’s 2. Assuming Pet is a direct swap for Cripps. Schoey as emergency backup. So that leaves one of Waterman, Williams, Watson or Allen to play. Probably between Waterman and Williams realistically. Depending on what we’re thinking for the ruck.

 

[Balls In]

I hope Schofield gets a gig. I rate him over either of Cole and Nelson. Dont care about the size diff.

Not sure what happened there - all the other matches were showing but ours. Random.
