Prediction Round 12, 2025: Changes vs Geelong

[stallon]

Waterman -> JWilliams
Gross -> Hall
Cole(if inj) -> Allan
Dewar(if inj) -> Davis
Flynn -> Johnston

Def: Edwards, Brock, Ginbey, Allan, Duggan, Maric, Baker
Mid: Hewett, Reid, Graham, Hough, Hall, Hunt, Hutchinson
Ruck: BWilliams, JWilliams
Fwd: Allen, Long, Ryan, Kelly, Davis, Brockman
Sub: Johnston

An extra midfielder than usual in this lineup, but a little extra forward time for harley/hewett/graham wont hurt.
1 less tall, if we have issues with height up forward then Harley/Hutchinson can sit forward a bit more as a marking target with Davis going up on a wing to cover Hutchinson

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Any chance we take Ajang Kuol mun with a second MSD pick and just throw him in?

The numbers Flynn's opponents are putting up are ridiculous.

 

[UseR2006]

Shanahan for Snake (bonus he can be swung back if required).
Champion for Long/Dewar (been tearing it up in the WAFL).
Hall for Gross (needs a few WAFL games to start working on his tank).

That should be it.
They will likely bring in Jilliams for Snake but i'd like to see what Shanahan can do while we have a bit of a free hit against Geelong.

 

[wce4premiership]

I wouldn't be upset if Gross got another game after some coaching instruction on how to improve and see if he can implement the changes.

 

[kerrazy]

If gross ain't gonna played to his strengths in the middle then ****ing drop him in the wafl and let him play a full game where he is good at - the ****ijg midfield.

Kid went from being our best mid against gws and Carlton to being a traffic cone on the flank. He ain't gonna learn shit playing there.

 

[Mulldogg]

Saw Clay Hall & Jack Hutchinson having a coffee catch up with Matt Priddis this morning. Picking up some inside mid tips perhaps?

Hall is probably asking Priddis some hair care tips.

 

[Elite Pete]

Vic media want Baker suspended.

McCarthy straight in?

Headband boys

Free kick Geelong

I like Jezza

Should get some good handballing tips...

 

[Cuzz09]

I like Jezza

he alright, just looks so easy for him at times.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

I'm tempering my expectations of Gross after that game.
Not because I don't think he'll make it, but that we need to patient with him since he'll take time to develop.

Adelaide are a mature football team, well physically developed and pushing for top 4, Gross will get man handled by those bigger bodies until he gets a preseason or 3 under his belt, he will be a very good footballer, just not yet.

First time saw him was in a preseason game WC-GWS. I was looking for him in the warm up given the hype, could not spot he as he was disguised as a midfielder - just the way he moved and handled the ball. All class.

Yep, exactly, a couple of times in past games he looked like a kid being ragdolled by a rottweiler..

 

[Farmer Lister]

In: Davis

Out: Whatever

 

[flyinghi64]

Can see Gross going out, never a good sign to be the one coming off for the sub.
Would like to see Hall come in but missing a couple of weeks of footy could hurt him so he may need a full WAFL game.
So, would like to see Greggo, Shanahan and Ballan come in.
Poor Waterman, that just sucks big time. Gross a full game in WAFL and can bring Dee-wah back there with him.
Not sure on other injuries or what happens with Baker but Gross could still hold his spot pending this and/or Davis come in.

 

[Avalor]

Vic media want Baker suspended.

McCarthy straight in?

Not ban worthy! Come on, media flogs can do better than that surely!

I’d imagine Jon Ralph would be going the fine angle if Baker was still at the Tuggers.

 

[Grumpyshades]

Harley cops worse every week

**crickets

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

This is where the club should be releasing clips of Harley being shoved into the ground. I swear it happens multiple times a week.

Jordan Dawson did it on the weekend.

Not in the back of the head like Baker (not a fan of that) but regardless he gave Harley afters when he was on the ground.

AFL doesn't want to be seen over umpiring the circus. But penalise early once and it stops.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Baker's move was a dick move but I don't think it should be a suspension.

Plenty of legit ways to show how tough you are.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Fine for misconduct and onto next week, surely.
