Prediction Round 10, 2025: Changes vs Euro-Yroke

[Elite Pete]

It’s disappointing missing Gov for the most winnable 3 game stretch we have all year and for him to only play 2.5 of it. We were also up in the half he played. When it rains it pours atm

 

[Bender_]

Positive: Tim Memebrey not gonna carve us up this week.

Negative: Some other spud like Mason Wood

Bro....

Sinclair. 30+ plus 6 goals off the HBF.

 

[Scotland]

Fcxk I love this place. 180 game captain loses his place to a single game, first year player

Is the 180 game captain doing anything to warrant selection over other players?

Duggan seems like a nice bloke but he makes the sort of mistakes that first year players do.

The player we need Duggan to be right now is Brady Hough.

Who? I haven't seen him mentioned before.

 

[FKASC]

****ing Gov

 

[amazingjoshy]

In: Allen, Allan, Williams, Gross (into 22)

Out: Brock, Cole, AReid, Hunt (sub)

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Marshall is more a workaholic ruckman and shouldn’t torch us in the middle.
I reckon JW is best suited to playing against him.
BBW can start forward and rest Archer.
Ryan and Brockman to start in the guts and HD to start forward.
OA in for Edwards sorry mate but we are playing the speed demons and Brock is better suited to helping OA.
I would play Bo for his speed and tackling prowess.
Gross definitely play a full game.The kids a terrier.
A rocket to Hewett coz we need a big game from him.
Forward pressure is going to be our Achilles heel and I’d bring in Greco to play a lockdown role on one of their rebounders ,Milera W maybe.
Hough could even play that role.If he doesn’t then back to defence with you son, we need your composure down there.
Would love to dump Duggan but it won’t happen.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: Duggan, AReid (inj)
In: Allan, JWilliams

Backs: Edwards, Brock, Ginbey, Maric, Cole, Baker, Allan
Mids: Reid, Hough, Graham, Ryan/Brockman/Gross, Hunt, Hutchinson
Rucks: Flynn, Billiams
Forwards: Waterman, Jilliams, Cripps, Owies, Kelly, Brockman, Gross
Sub: Hewett
Emergencies: Dewar, Bazzo, Hall

No point risking injured players, Duggan and Reid to get the week off. Allan and Jilliams back to replace them. Not risking Allen either.

Continue the experiment with Kelly as a forward I guess. Ryan, Brockman and Gross to split his midfield rotations.

Gross into the 22, Hewett gets squeezed out to 23rd man as a result. Not ideal but he was the quietest of the possible candidates on the weekend. (Excluding Kelly obviously, can’t see them making him sub).

No WAFL so I’ve named some of the better performers from the Royals game as emergencies as a bit of a reward.

 

[rebel23]

Given it's Aboriginal round... Probably no chance of Kelly being dropped... We'll just have to put up with another half rat power effort.

Ins... Gross full game, Oscar FB, Shanahan
Out... Hewett sub, Edwards, Archer

 

[Footfalcon]

Im starting not really rate Mini that highly. Will still give him the benefit of the doubt be a first year coach but he hasn’t started well

Grub take. Remember he has no real feel for our players like we do and yes I mean that. We know where players have played best blah blah. But he has calibrated relatively quick given he's 9 weeks in...

This is an absolutely crap post, and you know it is.

Plenty of ways to knock TK’s game/season/contribution without doing this bullshit.

 

[Cuzz09]

What's wrong with what he said?

TK might lift representing his people.

Well I'm knocking his game because he's playing like crap.. unlike the post... A younger player shows bit more desire

And fact is that is Aboriginal round... As prefaced by all the team name changes.

You're implying that I'm being racist but it's just factual.

I will say that the Eagles will be more interested in playing socially nice rather than dropping him this week at the expense perhaps of gross or allan... Personal opinion

Nobody cares if you criticise Tim Kelly. Well within your rights, fire away.

The issue is your suggestion that his place in the team selection is influenced by his race. That’s a bullshit thing to suggest and it has no place on this board.

And if you’re going to say “the fact is”, best to get the facts right. It’s not Aboriginal Round, it’s Indigenous Round, there’s a substantial difference.

 

[Barrybran]

It's unlikely TK was going to get dropped a week after a position change anyway

 

[FKASC]

Need to start pumping AFL games into Bazzo again asap.

It's unlikely TK was going to get dropped a week after a position change anyway

Agree set him some new KPIs - needs to have some goal involvements. And nail your opportunities you dumb campaigner.

Great way to back in young players, show some real spark including a 3 goal effort the week before but have a quiet game, drop them to sub.
Hewitt as sub is a terrible suggestion IMO (the rest is sound). Young players will be inconsistent, lets not demote them after 1 poor outing. Hunt, Owies, Cole all fringe senior players across the 3 lines that can sub ahead of one of our brightest stars.

 

[squashface]

Yeah this. I thought he looked pretty decent at HF so worth persisting.

If he nails those goals with the exact same game otherwise then everyone froths his game imo.

I’d happily put Owies in the vest ahead of Hewett but I don’t see the match committee agreeing with me.

If you make Hunt sub, someone has to shift to the wing. If you make Cole sub, someone has to shift into the backline.

Yep, funny game.

He kicks those 2 (which he should have), we win and he gets praised

Actually, we need to stop this sanctimonious, "Everyone else thinks this, and you're all alone" BS.

I have no problem, given it's not going to make a difference, playing him in this game for that reason. And I'm not sure how pretending this wouldn't potentially happen, helps anyone. Mini is probably tossing up whether to drop him. Indigenous round is coming up. Put it on hold.

It's not a big deal. It's also not a big deal to talk about it.

Let me tell you, there's many of us who are sick of victim mentally and the shaming of others who don't buy into it. You feel some sort of guilt for some reason. That's your issue. Don't try and make it ours. Not all of us need God.

Ok let me put it as plainly as I can.

If you suggest one of our players is getting a game based on their race, you’re an idiot (at best).

That’s regardless of what the calendar says. Clear?

 

[amazingjoshy]

McQualter said on his 7News spot he was happy with TKs game

9 score involvements is a good start in a new position

It's not what I think. But good try at changing what this is really about:

You could have said you don't agree. But you just had to take the, "you're a racitts, and I'm morally superior".

I don't agree with that poster, but you need to be reminded that people are sick of the BS. People like you have no idea how much of a punish you are to deal with.
