Prediction Round 13: Changes Vs Port Adelaide + Pre-match Discussion

[salim malik]

If Ryan has a problem I don't think Nyhuis is like for like. SHill is the closest fit to what Ryan offers.

Whats Ryans issue?

 

[salim malik]

Whats Ryans issue?

Nothing concrete, a question was asked about his fitness and he was in the rehab group on Tuesday. Slow Thursdayitis.

Nothing

Don't want to rush Shill. Send him to Peel to get some match fitness. It will also force every mid and small/medium defender to bust their ass as the poorest performer gets replaced next week.

Please don't drop Bewley I only just brought him in for fantasy this week..

He's so gone. If he and Rocky don't play I think I might get a donut.

Never bring in a player before team lists are finalised.

 

[Greyhairs]

Newley has been playing pretty well although a bit of nervousness has been showing up.
I reckon he shouldn’t be dropped as he’s going ok.
Needs the experience so let him get on with it.

 

[Square Peg]

I don't agree with leaving Hill out. It's not just that he is ready to play and sorely missed. If you are Hinkley, Hill in gives you another headache to think about. Bewley staying in instead is instant panadol.

And yet, if he comes in and gets injured again because he's not ready for the intensity level of AFL, we will all criticise the S&C team. A little bit of damned if they do, damned if they don't.

What the heck does "easing back in through the wafl" even mean? Like because it's less rough? BS. They hit bloody hard in the state leagues. They almost target injured AFL players... Subiaco were sure as hell going for Harley last weekend in that second half.
IF he plays at all, it should be at Optus stadium this weekend. Stephen Hill could walk onto the field and outclass 40 other blokes and I'd rather it be against Port than bloody South Freo.

 

[TheLastCall]

In: Darcy, Hill, Logue
Out: AP, Lobb... Cerra.

Cerra and Jones didn't train, Ross has been crook, maybe the flu .

In: Darcy, Hill, Logue
Out: AP, Lobb... Cerra.

[Becky2Belts]

Cerra out sucks but welcome back Hill.

 

[Nothing]

Cerra out as ill.

Wouldn't it be that they can manage his minutes played better, keep a better eye on his body during a WAFL game?

 

[salim malik]

I like the side,midfield looks strong

 

[Rion]

I really, really hope S.Hill is actually ready and we aren't rushing him back. Darcy back in is nice and I hope Logue gets an extended run at it. I've always seen him as more of a KPD than a 3rd defender so he's probably set up for it well.

Lower intensity, lighter smaller bodies as well

 

[MadMundy]

I'm so ****ing hyped for Saturday now. 3 perfect ins

 

[Farrand]

I'm surprised that Hill is straight in. Good to see him back but hope his fitness and skills are up to it.

 

[kingswood71]

Good to see Shilly back....fingers will be crossed all game for him

Don’t get the treatment of Hill vs Bennell. Both elite talents but Hill barely been 100% over the last 2-3 seasons like Harley. Stephen needs the conservative approach. Really hole he isn’t rushed in.
If he is, then sack the strength and conditioning team. It’s on them time and time again
