champion will come out. unless he had a job to do, relatively poor game. Herbert goes forward.

 

[Lia]

Out: Cole, Maric, JWilliams

In: Starcevich, Herbert, CDT

Agree with this but could swap Cole for Champion.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Maric?

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

OUT : Cole, Champion
IN: Starcevich, Gross

Baker gotta go to the midfield

 

[Bender_]

Maric?

Yeah feel like he's treading water a bit at the moment.

 

[Smotie2]

Out.
Baker, cole, J Williams

In
Herbert, starcevic, cdt

 

[Barrybran]

OUT : Cole, Champion
IN: Starcevich, Gross

Baker gotta go to the midfield

Who of Yeo, Kelly, Reid and Duursma is Baker replacing in the midfield?

 

[Barrybran]

I'm going to go against the grain on Cole. I think he's been pretty good since moving forward. It's not a long term option, and Cole is likely the man to go when Francou gets a run, but I think that is one magnet Mini will be pleased with.

Duggan should be the man under pressure with Starcevich and Herbert looking for spots in the coming weeks.

Who of Yeo, Kelly, Reid and Duursma is Baker replacing in the midfield?

Thinking in the rotation ahead of Maric who I wouldn’t mind seeing at half forward for a bit

 

[unty11]

No Changes.

Just kidding I think someone may make way for Starc. It should be Baker or Duggan but will probably be a younger player like Bo that doesn't deserve to be dropped.

 

[neng]

Out:
J Williams, Maric, Champion
In:
CDT, Starcevich, Herbert

Flip the magnets. Get Baker out of defence to have Starc and/or Herbert down there. I’m sure Herbert could even play a wing role, if needed.

Jack Williams just isn’t it. Too cumbersome.

 

[ep2018]

Another very winnable game. Lets keep winning.

 

[Cuzz09]

What a HUGE test v Port off a bye.

Will be well rested.

Definitely a winnable game.

But they smashed us through the guts in that trial.

Hope he build on this winning feeling.

Id say stuff it and bring in Herbert and Francou for Maric and JW.

 

[BeornJ]

Yeah feel like he's treading water a bit at the moment.

Understandable in these conditions to be fair

 

[Sammy J]

Out: Jack Williams, Josh Lindsay (rest)
In: CDT, Starcevich

I’d consider Maric for Herbert too but will leave that to those who actually watched the WAFL.

 

[TomEmilioDavies]

Starc and Herbert in.

Dunno who out. Johnston and Cole?

 

[The_Reaper]

Starcevich has gone through two games now so bring him in.

I feel like Cole was good against Collingwood so its probably Johnston I'd drop with Baker going up forward.
Wouldn't complain if it was Cole that was dropped.

Want to keep Champion in, he's showing good signs.

 

[Jezzza]

If your going to replace both Cole & Champion who is going to play the small forward roles other than Murdock? Both were in the top 5 for pressure acts for the day.

 

[Sammy J]

I quite like the forward mix we’ve got at the moment. Cole is pressuring, Harvey with some nice goal assists and bobbing up for a goal a game, Champion busy, and then we have the tall timber there in Jake and Jobe.

I don’t want to mess with that. Hopefully Starc adds some polish and sturdiness to aid Ginbey in our backline, and it’d be nice to get CDT back in.

 

[Barrybran]

Understandable in these conditions to be fair

Can't blame the conditions on decision making. Not terrible by any means but probably his worst game for the year with selection pressure looming.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I'm going to go against the grain on Cole. I think he's been pretty good since moving forward. It's not a long term option, and Cole is likely the man to go when Francou gets a run, but I think that is one magnet Mini will be pleased with.

Duggan should be the man under pressure with Starcevich and Herbert looking for spots in the coming weeks.

He’s been quite good in the role and I think don’t change what’s working, but it’s also so clear he’s not part of our future so I get why people want the flip made.

I think we can make an argument for out Cole, in Starc, Baker to the Cole’s pressure forward role.

HJ for Starc and Baker forward also an option.
