Prediction Changes vs Sydney

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

So we need to replace Hurn with Rotham the most obvious replacement

Nelson is a possibility but Sydney’s taller forward line gives Rotham the edge (he’d be a decent matchup for Blakey)

Curve ball is Hickey who looks to have overcome his ankle injury and is available for selection. Does he come straight back in and if so who does he replace?

Vardy has just started to come good but is that enough to retain his spot ahead of Hickey who was playing the better football before injury

Do we go back to 2 rucks meaning Allen makes way or do we push Allen back to replace Hurn and Rotham misses out

Against Melbourne, I was not that impressed with Allen in defence. He played predominantly on a small during the night and came across confused and lacking in confidence too often.

Coupled that with Rotham playing on Lee and Lakeland on Sunday and he did a decent job. As did Nelson in defence. So it is good news that we have good depth to replace our captain.

Now anyone calling for Mutimer to come in obviously did not see his game on Sunday. He is probably number 1 candidate to be delisted as it stands right now.
 
Waterman did very well against average opposition.His big plus is that he knows how to kick goals.I never thought his old man was a star;more of a "Bitza"role player.In my role of "We are the new Hawthorn" spruicker please stop comparing Waterman to Gunston.OAllen is the new Gunston.Just needs to get his tackling up to speed and bingo!! Sydney have a lot of youngens and we need to keep the pressure on them and they will crack.Buddy will cameo but we shouldnt put all our marbles on just stopping him.

Any chance of a Bock comparison?
 
Like at the MCG?
We havent struggled there for years and even when people had a go about our MCG record there were numerous games where we were in winning positions.

Hope we can break the SCG hoodoo.

I still remember winning against the odds in 1999 at the SCG.

We got off to a good start and held them off.

was a great game where McIntosh stopped Plugger from kicking the league record.

I remember Peter Matera kicked an inside out torp from the boundary to seal it.

Is Rotham sufficiently identical to Hurn for that change to be OK?

Rotham
Nelson
Mutimer

Those are the three options to replace Hurn. Rothams capacity to play on a taller opponent as Hurn does gives him the nod out of that group

I guess you could include Oallen and Brander in that list but neither are full time defenders and are both even less like Hurn than the three I’ve named

None have the Shannon Hurn hairstyle so I fear may not be similar enough to replace him.

Rotham is two inches taller. Therefore completely different players.
 
Venables a chance to return for Hurn? Push OAllen back

Is there a whiff of Masten in the air? Been burning it up at Wafl, along with Brander and Sneezy.
 
Stopping the rebounding from Lloyd and Rampe will go a long way to Wce winning ..Get Cripps to tag Lloyd and get Waterman to match up on Rampe ..

Lloyd leading the league with play ons from a kick in. Can't say I remember seeing it done so well it stuck with me but he does it 6 times per game on average. Petch should be on the mark for those, putting big pressure on the moment he runs.
