Prediction Round 10, 2026: Changes vs GWS

[Cuzz09]

In: Bazzo
out: HEdwards

no Hewett

 

[Smotie2]

Makes no difference this will be another 60 point loss with more inside 50s and KPIs in our favour

 

[Boohemian]

In: Bazzo
out: HEdwards

no Hewett

100% this. For the love of God let's give Bazzo a run.

 

[Cuzz09]

In: Bazzo
out: HEdwards

no Hewett

quoting my own post.. Actually Hewett v GWS could be a good in. They aren't the most accountable side so he could have some freedom

In: Bazzo, Hewett
out: Headwards, HJ (or even give CDT or Shanahan a rest)

 

[Barrybran]

In: Bazzo
out: HEdwards

no Hewett

I'd bring Jilliams in and swing Shanahan back. Agree no Hewett, though he is the one I'd want to come in for Kelly eventually.

 

[THE A5]

Bring Brock in for Young too. The bloke is a deadset liability. Bazzo and brock have had their fair share of criticism on here but neither of them to have been this insipid for this long. Both have been dropped way before for playing footy that better that what Young is turning out weekly. Keep in mind that Young is a few months from being 28 too.

Young needs to go back to wafl and do the basics right

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In: Bazzo
Out: Edwards

Young gets a pass because of quite simply no other options back there, GWS too big up forward to go in tiny. Sickens me to say but might be time for Shanahan to the backline to just stem the quite literal bleeding in our KPD stocks, in which case JWill comes in.

HJ gets a second chance to show absolutely anything otherwise it’s an easy finish your season and career in the WAFL the rest of the way.

Make Hewett do it again in the WAFL before he comes back in.

Edit: no WAFL this week hey…maybe Hewett does come in.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Young has to be dropped (but almost certainly wont be imo) Give Bazzo a shot.

Agree with Jobe back and Williams in.

Let Hewett build his form in the Wafl.

In Bazzo and JW
Out Harry and Young

 

[Cuzz09]

no WAFL next week so no Hewett continuity.

Can see them giving him a game in the AFL

 

[Westend]

Next week Sunday 415

 

[Elite Pete]

Next week Sunday 415

And another team got an 8 day break before playing us. Seems to be standard.

I hope the Eagles play Peel in a scratch match. Both teams have another by in the next 4 weeks

 

[twce13]

Williams in for hedwards (Shanahan to def)

Bazzo for young. I don’t really rate the former, but gotta see if he has improved at afl level.

I’d like Hewett in so that he can continue to build and like the matchup against gws. Sadly I think it would have to be in for HJ, who on this performance isn’t beyond dropping, but I dislike giving a kid only one crack at afl level before dropping.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

IN : Hewett, JWill,
OUT: Johnston, HEdwards

Shanahan down back , Yeo up forward

 

[Lia]

Out - Duggan

 

[Cuzz09]

Yeah I agree. Im not really a fan of Bazzo after watching him in the WAFL. He has reasonable floating around getting marks but one on one plumbers and whatever are kicking bags on him.

But Im more than fine with him having a good solid stretch in the AFL side to show Whether we keep him on the list or not

 

[Rids]

Out: Edwards; In: Hewett
Out: Johnston; In: J.Williams

Shanahan down back; Yeo to spend more time forward; Hewett to spend good minutes in midfield.

OUT: Johnston, HEdwards

Shanahan down back , Yeo up forward

Should have read this before I posted my own ... freakishly identical thinking

 

[wadistance]

WAFL bye next week so I dare say hewett will come in

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Young just doesn't seem to have any appetite for the contest. Doesn't mind zoning off and taking marks, but just doesn't do the body-on-body stuff. The problem is that I think Bazzo is a similar type of player. Maybe he doesn't trust his body given his injury history, but he just doesn't seem comfortable one-on-one.

I don't mind Bazzo coming in for Young, but we really need to play Shanahan in the backline now that Edwards is out. We can't keep expecting Ginbey to be playing on monster fowards. At least Shanahan can take a contested mark.

 

[wce4premiership]

Leave Johnston in. No more one weekers in and out all the time.

4 tackles and 18 pressure acts shows intent. Give him a block of games while Owies is injured to play with Champion and the rest at AFL level.

Allows Murdock to wander further afield.

I haven't seen a Victorian side have a shorter break than us travelling against us except after our bye in 3 years and it's only happened once I think against an east coast side in the same time period.

Hes going to be delisted at the end of the year. Why not get games into future players

Funny that they didn’t have a Sunday late arvo game this week. It’s almost like they just left it open for us as per usual and then realised that we were actually in Melbourne.

It's because of the stupid Friday night double ups

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Make Hewett do it again in the WAFL before he comes back in.

This. 1000%. His game wasn’t that great he warrants a recall. Stiff there is no WAFL this weekend, but as a famous broadcaster once said “that’s life”.
