Prediction Round 10 Changes vs. Essendon

[Docker82]

Why is every game a danger game when we are playing well?

Because the teams around us will barely lose meaning every loss could be quite impactful on our season.

Oscar McDonald the game day emergency then ?

Two players from the 25 will miss out.

Most likely a KPD and one of Scerri or NOD. Think Sharp is going to be an in tbh.

 

[anchor man]

Just got back from overseas with patchy interwebs so not up with it atm. Do i read right that NOD is in but Sharp not? Even after that period for Peel, then coming and kicking 2 goals only to be put back out by the returning McVee? Also, heard we got across the line against Hawks. May have to watch the replay.

Be mad if you don't.

Why take Adam Sweid?. Just a family catch up I expect.

Ohhhhh boy I hope we win or they better chuck me in the monkey enclosure at the zoo because I'll be throwing crap everywhere

I don't know about every game ... I don't really think Melb, Rich, Blues, WC were "danger games". And the others were against decent opposition and/or away.

But now the danger is not so much the opposition, but more to do with the fact we are now at the point where a loss would usually be around the corner. Apart from Geelong in 2022 (16 on the trot), the longest winning streak for any side in recent years is in the 8 to 10 range.

When Sydney were minor premiers a few years back, they lost to Richmond (wooden spooners with 2 wins for the year) at the G. These things can happen. I think the loss we are bound to have will be the Brisbane game, but you just never know if that loss will come sooner.

yep, been seeing that exact pattern since i was a boy.

this is such a danger game. Away, after a big win, down a captain and an often match saver, and a star mid. Other side low on the ladder but finally got some momentum. Hope we come out hard in the first and put up a good score to drown any Don's hope quickly.

Peel bye

 

[David Bubb]

OMac, Scerri and NOD in

 

[David Bubb]

I'm telling myself the only reason we're going OMac over Davies is because of how much experience we're losing with Young, Pearce and Wagner out...

 

[Randomizor]

Can we criticize JL now or is it still a no go?

 

[swanny1234]

McDonald over Davies is so ****ing disappointing.

 

[freo_leo29]

Surprised for Sharp


Omac makes sense, if Cox was out the. It would be Davies imo

Probably could've risked it against Essendon though


Scerri has done well

 

[David Bubb]

Setterfield and Caldwell in for them, looks like they're going physical

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Im pretty disappointed by that call and I think its very short sighted

 

[serial_thrilla]

As Hugh Davies' buddy I'm allowing some criticism here.

Caldwell always cause issues v Fremantle

Frederick on the wing. That’s a good move. Scerri around half forward

 

[FreoRicci]

OMac, Scerri and NOD in

Davies is stiff. Gone for experienced rather then form.

 

[funguy1984]

Excited to see Scherri in, NOD over Sharp for Wags is a interesting call and O Mac over Davies for Moose is a little bit disappointing but not surprising

What are your thoughts on our 3 changes???

 

[Randomizor]

If I’m Davies I’m taking a visit to the coaches office to ask what more I can possibly do

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

NOD probably ends up taking the "winger that plays close to defence" role that Wagner plays. Better like-for-like for that role than Sharp - Wagner is tasked with winning contests there. Scerri in should mean Freddy can play more wing-forward. Maybe Reid gets a midfield time boost?

Missed opportunity to see what Davies looks like at AFL level.
