Prediction Round 14, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

[THE A5]

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

Shall I hold a mirror in front of you?

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

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.

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

I don't know why you quoted me twice and referred to something totally unrelated to my comment.

Oops, i thought i was replying to Thepuma #9

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.

So what did you expect any new coach to deliver in their first 13 games in charge?

Maybe read again and you'll have your answer

Of course, I look great in a mirror.

Nice try Disney!

Take two then

Out: Cole (inj), AReid, Allan
In: McCarthy, Billiams, Long

Backs: Edwards, Brock, Ginbey, Duggan, McCarthy, Baker, Dewar
Mids: Reid, Hewett, Hough, Graham, Hunt, Maric
Rucks: Flynn, Williams
Forwards: Allen, Williams, Ryan, Cripps, Long, Kelly, Brockman
Sub: Hutch
Emergencies: Johnston (held over), AReid, Hall

Even if Allen and Ryan are lame, doubt they rest them ahead of the bye. Billiams in for Reid to help combat TDK and HOK, if they drop Jilliams ahead of Reid I’ll be furious.

Long in to play wing/HHF, Hutch to sub, Allan to get a full game of WAFL after the shambles of the last few weeks.

McCarthy straight in for Cole.

Hall misses out, didn’t see the Perth game but if disposal and defensive running is still an issue then his high possession numbers aren’t telling the whole story I guess.

 

[Astro7]

If McCarthy gets a gig this game, what a baptism of fire - Optus stadium, night game, maybe 40K spectators, bit of mind-blower!
Welcome to the Eagles!

 

[Bacchus]

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

At the very least it would have been better for his development as a player.

Putting a player on for five minutes is bizarre and does nothing for that player’s confidence.

Biggest news of the week is who gets named as sub. I'm hoping it's Archer Reid so we can get a front row seat at Dark Sharks's reaction:

He'll get subbed in 5 minutes into the first quarter. Jack Williams out.

Billiams has got to play instead of Archer. He kicked a couple of goals in the two games as forward/ruck.
Billiams doesn't always give me confidence when kicking for goal but he is better than Archer.
Archer needs to play Wafl and for the Eagles to figure out what is his best role will be.
Is Archer going to be a ruckman or KPD because he ain't going anywhere as a KPF with his kicking for goal being so bad.

Hahaha posted the same thing and saw your post just after lol

 

[ArdentEagle]

Harley head to head with Cripps.
Coach tells him the Crippa has a bigger Custard Slinger unless he beats him and proves otherwise.

20 minutes more - its a joke, learn to play in the WAFL. the best 22 must be selected every week.

Then who’s the sub?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Why not just make Petch the perma-sub? For this year at least.

A good pro, versatile, burst player, isn't really benefiting from WAFL development, allows the kids full games in the WAFL.

With his body issues I don't really think you'd worry too much about lack of real minutes in him.

Still weary of the shellacking carlton gave us last year when they were missing a bunch of players.

Kemp kicked like 6 goals or something...
Never heard of him before that day.

To be fair with his initial burst of pace off the blocks we could get a extra 15 seconds from the 240 seconds of sub time we give to a player.

Those 15 seconds could be huge in changing the result of a game thats for sure
