Prediction Round 14, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

[ziad]

Mate you're dreaming.

Kelly won't even be dropped this week. Nothing has changed from last year, Simpson may as well have stayed as coach.

Kelly was made an example of for 1 WAFL game...and made no changes to his performances. Has come back and played meh...okay and then last week's shit show.

Noah long made way for an underdone Cripps who should've played WAFL to prove his fitness.

Our number 1 pick Bo Allen can't even get a look in.

None of those players will play this year.

Wake up this is simmo mk2

Bo can't get a look in playing WAFL - time to lift kid and earn a spot.

Kelly was dropped for the first time at the Eagles this season as you mentioned.

Simo never did that.

13 players under 50 games last weekend.

Simo never did that either.

 

[Smotie2]

Kelly was dropped for the first time at the Eagoes this season as you mentioned.

Simo never did that.

13 players under 50 games last weekend.

And yet there are new credits emerging for players that haven't done anything to emerge them yet.

Kelly was brought back without doing anything to justify selection except he needed his match payment I guess

Why was long played so long before being dropped.

Why is Archer reid still getting a game when he isn't impacting the scoreboard.

Why after 2 solid games and kicking goals was Bailey Williams dropped.

Why is Hutchinson getting games when his disposal is so poor at one point 28 percent de on the weekend when the excuse Clay hall isn't getting a game is because of his disposal.

Mate, there is issues at the club still ongoing.
I don't see reactions like max fawn and Stephen Mays.
Players don't hurt that bad when we lose

Posters here talk about being happy when if we can just lose by less than 30.

It's ingrained in our players and mini making comments about learning how to win.

FFS they've been playing football since they were under 1s they know how to ****ing win.

This sub garbage is telling. He's been an assistance for years and knows the systems. It's a monumental **** up and he's now going to take it out on Allen by dropping him.

How's that for ****ing a players confidence

It's garbage and whether he realises it or not he is starting to develop the same characteristics that got simmo sacked and yet he hasn't acheiveed anything yet except...our game has improved a bit and we aren't getting flogged until late in games.

Bo was playing well otherwise mini wouldn't have selected him 3 weeks ago.
Would he now.

Uh...I don't know if the interaction between May and Gawn is evidence of anything other than May is a

The bar is low. Kids are being given a taste

 

[Cuzz09]

Think Cerra may still be in concussion protocols so if he missed that's one extra decent mid down.

Yeah true but I'd rather see some pain and agitation in our side losing than hand claps and smiles and pats on the back.

Once upon a time this side gave a **** about losing a game, now it accepts it and moves on to the next loss.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

He has passion even if he displays it in a dumb way.

We need a bit more of that and less of Liam Duggans panic kicks

 

[Astro7]

also bringing Bo on earlier wouldn't have changed the result in any way.

I doubt it, but that wasn't the expectation, it was more about being fair to Bo and getting Bo some valuable game time. Then for supporters, it was about seeing what Bo has to offer at that level. But he's either playing this week or he's back to Wafl.

 

[sharps24]

Apparently what he says to MC every week when he picks Archer

I find your singular focus on getting a particular player out of the side a little bit much if I'm honest.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Hall & McCarthy are must in's.
Grego & HJ need a game at some stage. You need to encourage them, can't be easy lining up in the Beagles week after week with no reward.

Shanahan I'm confused how he comes into the team. Been playing in defense in the WAFL, how do you bring him in as a forward to replace Archer? You don't, I guess. So Archer stays in, and Shanahan stays in the WAFL.

Out:
Hunt, Cole, TK.
Duggan hot on their heals.

tbh I'm the same and can imagine it gets to the players too.

Few years ago devo at a loss now purely looking for positives amongst the wreckage and thinking about getting games into kids not even bothered about thinking about the possibility of winning.

Winning is a bonus right now.

after copping the hit in QTR2, he played out the game, no?

oh OK I thought i read it this morning. All good

1 lol. Looks like Migs took the bait, should I log off just to check if there is an entirely sincere "OMFG imagine being this much off hypocrite" post or can I just assume that no world exists in which he could resist.

I laugh reacted because I knew it was a self-referential joke, you absolute toadstool.

It must be bigger than Schindler's.

Well done.

I’m very much on his ignore list. That’s why he’s talking about logging out and logging in anonymously to see if I replied.

He doesn’t know about the “show ignore content” button. I’ve told him directly, but …

If you place someone on ignore, why on earth would you bother doing that?

It actually defeats the purpose.

Not all of us have your self-control

And Dewar's natural position is wing. Odd post.

I don't see anything positive in flattening opponents after they have disposed of the ball, not once but twice.
Totally undisciplined.

That’s great but how does it get to that stage in the first place?

How has someone not said to him “we’re looking a bit flat out there, how about we get Bo on for a tall?”

So obviously Schofield, Shuey, Webster, Mello, Bell and Worsfold have just sat there like stunned mullets in the coaches box and said nothing. Makes me wonder who is in charge on match day. Maybe we can blame it all on Tim Gepp and Toddy.

OUT: A.Reid, Hutch, B.Allan

IN: Hall, McCarthy & either B.Williams or Shanahan

Let Bo play a full game and about time Clay is rewarded for his body of work. Wouldn't hurt for Archer to go back and start having an impact on some games either. After his missed set shot the only time i saw him all game was in the ruck.

Add Maric to the outs and bring in all of those 4. Maybe some more outs thru injury.

 

[BSD]

There are successes, as well as the obvious Brock is going well and is an interesting prospect in defence and on the wing given his mobility. I honestly thought Harry was dead and buried last year - credit to him now. Some others will take time, Champion for example. We seem to be developing Shanahan as a footballer of quality not rushing him in.

But it's all about the midfield - we need the cream in there. Mostly we have drafted skim milk.

Some of it is well past it's use by date and has curdled.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

IN: Hall, Big Boy Bailey, the sub at 3Qtr Time
OUT: Hutch, Archer, the sub with 5 min to go
