Prediction Changes vs Swans Round 5

[ChampRevesby]

Don't lie Fivey, there is no real life when you're a big footy mod, it's just arguments on the internet 24/7

I like it when people get mad, even mods. Happy to cop stick.

I still make time to argue with people in real life too

 

[DanWCE]

That's entirely not the point.

Someone has to travel to Sydney as a standby in case someone has to pull out at the last minute.

9 times out of ten that bloke won't play, meaning unless his WAFL side plays the next day and he can get back to Perth in time (not the case this week - East Perth's game starts while the Sydney game is in progress), that bloke will not have any footy for the week.

Hutchings has missed a chunk of the pre-season and missed the weekend before last with a hammy. Nelson is a youngster and will benefit from footy at any level at this stage of his career.

Conversely if Lucas misses a week of footy, who cares?

That's really as much as I can do to explain it. Do you want me to show it to the cat? Because the cat's gonna get it.

We are playing the swans not the cats! Derrrr

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Lucas formally upgraded in place of Cavka.

 

[domo]

Yeah but what else did he do?

Hill does plenty.. he's one of the first to chase back and help out our mids and help lock the ball our forward half. Apart from his x-factor skills and talent.

The Badger would have been a *good inclusion for Sydney at the SCG especially also given the expected weather. I don't know why everyone is so down on Lucas as well. He's just as good as the blokes we are arguing about in here to select or not select.

[Nuke Fremantle]

Lucas formally upgraded in place of Cavka.

Hmmm. Sounds like insurance in case Priddis or Gaff don't get up this week.

He had to be upgraded in order to be named in the emergencies.

 

[DieSwans]

DieSwans no thought for the future at all?

We're right, mate, premiership window is open now tbh

 

[HoneyBadger35]

We're right, mate, premiership window is open now tbh

And Duggan, one of the best field kicks in the team and a player who shows the sort of class that only Shuey (and maybe peak Yeo) has isn't a part of that window?

so apparently karpany is our gun small man. surely masten at 179cm is small enough to be our gun small man.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Hutchings should demand a trade at the end of the year. What does he ever do wrong??? Solid tackler, accumulator and FAR better kick than Priddis. He isn't very fast but I'd back him in a sprint over Priddis. Should've dropped Hill or Duggan instead.

Agreed

Paywall so I can't read it, did somebody actually name Karpany, by name, in an article other than "Who is the least impressive performer on your clubs list?"

How is he a gun small man...just how? He's not even consensus best on ground at WAFL Reserves. Any chance you could copy and paste the Karpany section?

Agreed

it says scroll down to see your clubs best little men.
WEST COAST

Not many small guys on the Eagles’ list. The shortest, Malcolm Karpany (176cm), is yet to play an AFL game. Chris Masten comes in just under the 180cm mark. Premiership hero David Wirrpanda was just 173cm and Phil Matera was 2cm shorter.

 

[wraglesweb]

And Duggan, one of the best field kicks in the team and a player who shows the sort of class that only Shuey (and maybe peak Yeo) has isn't a part of that window?

You do realise duggan is only averaging 11 disposals at 63 % disposal efficiency.. He has been way off the mark this year. Has potential to be one of our best field kicks but at the moment he's far from that ?

 

[WCErevival]

Not sure why people are whinging about Hutchings being dropped. He had 9 disposals last week in a game we won easily. That's rubbish for a mature midfielder. That's 4 less than the "out of form" 19 year old Duggan.

Syd Swans v WCoast
Hewett, Sinclair in for Towers, Nankervis.
Priddis, Wellingham, McInnes in for Hutchings, Lycett, Nelson.

Yeah for sure, he's been down this season. I wouldn't have minded him out and Hutchings staying in, just people saying he's soft, can't kick and isn't part of our premiership window is pretty suspect.

He did kick a couple of sausage rolls though

+ he had 6 tackles & 2 goals in only 60% game time....and he's got the runs on the board from last year, especially in big games. he's also lightyears better than Lucas..
Speaking of which, they should have upgraded Adamson from Cavka's spot over Lucas the list clogger..

Lucas is a bit of a spud but ever since he's come on board he has excelled for the royals. He at least deserves to be upgraded. Adamason has only had good games so far this season as well.
