Prediction Round 11, 2025: Changes vs Kuwarna

[Tyberious Funk]

More useless quibbling. Did I say we need to play every one of our 18 year olds at the same time? No. I was complaining that in fact 0 of them are playing right now [or at least starting]. I'm not even saying that both of Gross and Allan should be playing.

Bo Allan is 19.

To the best of my knowledge, the only 18 year olds on our list are Tom Gross and Hamish Davis (who is 5 days away from turning 19).

So all the wailing and gnashing of teeth essentially boils down to Tom Gross starting versus being the sub? He very clearly doesn't have the capacity to play a full game. And gifting a player a full game doesn't magically imbue them with fitness. He'll be subbing until his fitness base is built, which is likely will be after another preseason.

So are we going to have to listen to the melts for the rest of the season?

You will listen to "melts" for as long as people like you want to waste time making stupid points in order to try get your own personal little insult in. 90% of my posting is just replying to extremely low iq owns of this type "whell, actually Bo Allan is 19 because his birthday was in April which was last month. Therefore you talking about him being a first year player is void because you have incorrectly assumed him to be 18 years old when he is in fact 19 years old." It's like dealing with a hive mind of posters who have assumed the Miguel Sanchez personality type. I am sure at least 50% of these type of comments are made purely as bait because you know I'm likely to assume they are genuine engagement and will waste my time responding. The truth is I barely care, sure I'd prefer Gross or Allan in the side and have foolishly expressed my reasons for that. I am not a mentally unwell person who gets upset with selections or genuinely angry at the club, or harbour any actual ill feeling toward any player. I'll have a bit of a rant in the spirit of fun while trying to make a valid point, negative emotion of the type that would be required to actually "melt" is almost completely absent from my makeup. I am expressive and people tend to attach their own lens on the things I say all the time and think it's coming from a place of anger or insult when it's actually coming from a place of fun and humour. I could honestly do without, as I say, about 90% of what I write on here given it's just responses to immature nonsense. But, If people want to quote me and misrepresent what I say then I reserve the right to respond. I try my best to ascertain which posters are are an overly negative experience to engage with and they go on ignore. To everyone out there who doesn't like what I have to say and just can't resist the urge to tell me all about it I say just do everyone a favour and put me on ignore, I genuinely won't miss having to talk to you. "Melt" over.

Unfortunately, it looks like it...

You've all spent so much time quibbling about whether our 22 is "young" enough, you've forgotten to argue about the more important things...like which of our mids are A, B, C or D+ grade. Let's all get back on track shall we?

11 players with fewer than 50 games is insane.

Only Richmond go in this week with less experience (14 under 50 and a further four under 100: 62.1 games average)

Where do you get these stats from please mate?

think this could be an 80+ point loss but we play ok if that makes sense?
They're known for putting big scores on bad sides

Reminds me a bit of that Joondalup Hawk nutter; just stream of consciousness posts, and nary a paragraph to be seen.
