Prediction Changes vs West Coast Eagles

[PA1870FC]

A undermanned Melbourne beat them here two weeks ago, they struggled to beat St.Kilda here and the undermanned Giants beat them here. So there's that

We do have a chance in Perth.

The problem isn't playing well against a good team & winning (as long as we are in-front).

What we can't do is go down by 2-3 goals against a good team because mentally we are too fragile. We lose our structure, discipline and composure. These are the moments we need Boak, Ebert, Harttlett, Gray, Trengove, Hoff to step up but they seem to be the ones going into their shells.

So IMO if we are level, or up by even a little bit we will win. IF we go down by 2-3 goals after half time we will lose the plot again.

I hope I'm wrong about the latter.

I'll burn down the city of Adelaide if we don't pick Eddy this week. ****ing seriously we need a proper forward in who can actually kick a few goals and give Dixon some support. I'll even take Howard or Frampton over Gray (S), Neade and Young. I'm even more ****ing melty because being used to the shit stains at the selection committee we'll see:

In: Young
Out: Houston

Unless we win the flag, I really hope KT is asking people in Sydney about Dew and that we can get him over for 2018.

If boak and Gray (robbie) were put up at the end of the year as trade bait. what do people honestly think we would be offered for them pick wise?

I would be pretty disgusted with the club if we did that. Both legends of the club!!!!

 

[Willsy10]

Spin once to pick who is omitted. Spin again to pick who replaces them. If you don't like the result, spin again until the wheel lands on Young.

That's brilliant.

 

[KenOath]

We probably have 7 or 8 blokes who don't deserve to be playing right now but there's no way Kern would ever make more that 2 unforced changes after such competitive effort against a top 4 team!

My biggest concern is who we bring in...

Atley must play! Has been one of the most consistent performers in the Magpies and had a very solid JLT. Should have played long before now but must come in!

Eddy/Howard. At least one of these guys must come in to straighten us up! I personally would bring them both in a move Jacko to defence.

we are going no where fast. ruthless teams do it. hawks did it to fast track them.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Also, can someone positive (like Janus) give me some semblance of hope that we are chance this week in Perth?

It's Port Adelaide of us to drop the home game vs Richmond and win this one.

From last week, we need to go 3-1 for the month. That is still alive.

We'll win this week because our front running poor excuse for senior footballers know they have to put in a good performance every now and then or they won't get a slice of the new CBA.

Also if we could just bring in 1 forward who understands how to lead that would be great. If I see Trengove ever line up in our forward line again I'll ****ing spew.

Monfries.

Please.

 

[Nelson051]

According to the latest injury report hombsch and hammer are good to go

A small defender needs to give way will be either pittard or Houston

White needs to go back for atley

Neade or impey out for eddy or Howard but we all know this will be young coming in

 

[bringbackbucky]

I wouldn't take Howard to Perth. Scene of the crime and all that... Bring him back next week.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Our forward line has been bollocks for so many years. I'm happy to leave R gray and Chad forward. Chuck Atley in the midfield. Throw in a forward Dougs, Eddy or monfries. Drop two of Neade, white, impey, sgray.

Hombsch in for pittard, broady or hh.

Simples.

I thought White was ok. Houston not going anywhere.

I like it. Keep Broady in and I agree 100%

 

[xflamedancer]

All I expect will be something along the lines of,

Out Neade and maybe Pittard
In Young and Hombsch

I'm crying inside because this is exactly what I expect the changes to be. I'm tempted to ring the club and tell them not to bother emailing my ticket for the game this week. I look forward to going to see them play every year over here but if they serve up the same bullshit as last week, I may as well stay home and take my frustration out on the telly, instead of risking being escorted out of the ground or arrested.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

God I hope Arsene puts us out of our misery early this week!

Chad has been good in the midfield, problem is he's awesome in the forward line.

Love Jacko but we have better KPF options.

Sam Gray must play as a genuine midfielder outside of the forward 50.

This line of thinking is exactly why we are where we are at today. No player legend or not, is bigger than the club. If we got a great offer on either of them, then we take it and start building towards a flag.

Not going to affect team selections this week.

Draft and trade thread.

 

[Nelso]

So many half back flankers who are very poor at the moment.

I would also add DBJ to that list. He has gone backwards this year. He is not taking the game on like he did last year.

Pittard has to be dropped. His refusal to chase in the last qtr was horrific.

Out Neade, Pittard,

In Howard, Hombsch

DBJ hasn't been that bad.

Pittard has mentally already packed his bags and needs to spend the rest of the season in the magoos.

Bullshit! It's a good way to kill a culture

 

[SureBuddy]

Just drove past the bus that has Brett Eddy on it holding the pot plant, while reading this thread. Confirmed Eddy in.

 

[manureid]

Pittard has been so bad this year it is painful. Really needs to spend some 'quality' time in the 2's. Not 1 week.
