Prediction Round 10 Changes vs. Essendon

[YelloMit]

I'm gonna assume:

In: Davies, Sharp, Banfield

 

[_007_]

Hope it's:

Out: Pearce, Wagner and Young
In: Davies, Sharp and Scerri

 

[serial_thrilla]

I'm gonna assume:

I reckon it would be NOD over Bailey.

 

[FreoRicci]

Will be Sharp, Davies, NOD.

 

[Ghost Pig]

Hope it's:

Out: Pearce, Wagner and Young
In: Davies, Sharp and Scerri

Same

 

[Schauermann]

I like:

In: Davies, Sharp, NOD

But I expect it will be Scerri instead of NOD based on recent history and Young spending time forward. Happy with that.

Perhaps McDonald instead of Davies as well, but Davies should really get gametime. So not so happy if that is the case.

 

[Alfonz]

Maybe a blessing in disguise with Young. Some may have been thinking to rest him for this game anyway. Sucks about the Saints game, but they'll be missing NWM so it evens out.

 

[YelloMit]

I reckon it would be NOD over Bailey.

Hopefully, but I won't hold my breath.

 

[freo84]

Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger

If you know, you know haha

 

[Purple Suit]

I think it'll be slightly different

Davies for Pearce
Scerri for Young - Will play forward & more mid time for Bolton + Reid
Banners for Wagner - Jlo has been itching to get him in and the most accomplished backman of the lot who can play tall or small.

 

[StingBitten]

danger games now?

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Honestly good to see Noddy back.

Hope he goes well.

 

[freo84]

danger games now?

We're still putting a damn good team on the park.

 

[Barnabus]

Davies Scerri and NOD in for mine. Sorry for Sharp but I think NOD gives a little more at AFL level.

 

[mattis117]

So this head knock occurred after his press conference then? Young was interviewed on Tuesday.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Davies, Noddy and Sharp would be the best like for like changes on form I would say; but that would drop age/experience massively.

Reckon McDonald might get the nod ahead of Davies for that reason.

Then again Scerri may also come back in too.

These outs aren't ideal but shouldn't change anything against this opposition. Zero excuses not to win.

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Kinda torn - I like Freddy playing a wing-fwd role and bringing both of NOD and Sharp in could mess with that. Plus Scerri wins those fwd half ground balls that are so critical to our LDL plays. But Johnno/Ras probably get a boost in midfield minutes (as well as Bolton obviously) with Young out to have those bigger bodies through there. So maybe there's the justification to bring in both and play Freddy more fwd.

Putting aside the obvious desire to see Davies get a run coz he's younger, I think he's the more natural replacement for Pearce anyways, and OMac a more natural replacement for Cox. Don't think it's the right call to go back to old reliable.

Delayed concussion symptoms today from Tuesday training is how I read it.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Surely McDonald is not ahead of Davies in the key back pecking order by now right?

Davies one of the best key backs in the WAFL right now who we need to invest time (and job security) into as he might replace Pearce in 2028

Sorry, I don’t share your enthusiasm for Hugh. I’m scarred from his pathetic effort at the SCG.
It’s Oscar for me.

 

[Tbonefreo]

What happened to Young???

 

[funguy1984]

What happened to Young???

Delayed concussion from a head knock at Tuesday's training session

 

[YelloMit]

If you know, you know haha

 

[funguy1984]

Hoping Scerri and Davies gets a run

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Omac and Scerri for me.
Now to settle in on my condo balcony, with chilled pineapple and gaze out cross the Bangkok skyline.
Cheers

Geez those outs hurt. F**ing Young out hurts, hopefully it's a glorified rest before the 5 day break

No Simpson or Draper in the extended squad speaks volumes of where they're at right now

Different roles. Draper is not a fullback and is nowhere near physical enough for that. His skill set lends itself to a third tall defender (playing on the Jack Gunston/Jezza types) or as a CHB. Though i'm pretty sure hes been used as a swingman at peel

In: Davies Sharp Scerri
