Prediction Round 14, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

[CursoryMercenary]

In: Hall, McCarthy

Out: Allan (unlucky s*** coaching McQ) Kelly.

Honestly we have he spoon, just play the ****ing youth. Time to end some careers which have lagged on too long. Kelly should be included in that but our brains trust gave him a two year deal.

 

[woosha24]

Honestly I dont give a f*ck, and thats not just being raw from a loss.

We kicked 6.16 against Norf and ran out of legs in the last quarter again. Personnel is a secondary issue behind fitness and skills for this club.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In: Hall (simply needs to be rewarded for this WAFL form or we’ll miss the boat)
Out: Hutch

Allan should either play a full game of AFL or play WAFL, the five minute sub appearance is one of the actual black marks on McQualter’s coaching that isn’t just game day melting from morons. What’s the point of a five minute run late in a close game (again)?

 

[Jaspar24]

Hutch - Hall/McCarthy
Archer - Shannahan.

It honestly hurts to think about this match right now when we fumbled that so easily.

 

[Shuestar13]

Please freshen the team up this week

In: Hall, McCarthy

Give Hewett a spell if he is struggling. Reid for Shanahan. Allan a full game in the seniors or back to WAFL. A few changes.

 

[Cuzz09]

We've been super competitive in every game the last couple months and thats all we have been asking.

We kick 16.6 or even 11.11 we win comfortably so we are doing something right.

I'd definitely bring in McCarthy to get him amongst it.

I'd start Allan on the field and make Hutch sub or drop him for Hall

In: McCarthy, Hall
out: Maric, Hutch

I agree

Hutch should be dropped ...average footballer who is not getting better....at least Hall is getting touches on a regular basis in the WAFL reward form

A reid s footballer who can't kick so what's the point??? drop him to the WAFL for an extended period of time....Shananan to come in at least the lad has skills

 

[Cuzz09]

Hutch as sub at least can cover all positions should he be needed.

 

[KERRPOW]

Out: Hutch, allan
In: hall, McCarthy

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Out: Hutch
In: McCarthy

Need to make a decision on Allan, he has to either start in the 22 or play WAFL. Getting 3 minutes game time every week is not doing anyone any good.

 

[Donkers]

Allan just has to go out, he is just going to be too far off match fitness now.
Archer Reid im sorry mate, but you need to go back to WAFL level and play as a key defender and part time ruck.
Hewett likely has a minor knee injury from what I saw late.

So ins:
Hall
Gross
McCarthy

Go smaller up front.

Hutch to be sub and on very thin ice. Good pressure today but his disposal was terrible but no-one else has really been knocking the door down and I'd rather someone who comes in for their first game not be the sub.

As much as Flynn fell away I don't think Bailey Williams won his position at WAFL level TBH.

 

[ghostbat12]

we could have done with a few with legs in last quarter. maric, Allen, A Reid may need to be sacrificed.

 

[new breed]

In - McCarthy , Johnson , Hall .


Out - Hewett ( sore , rest him ) , A Reid ( injury ) Hutchinson

Play Maric forward ...
Allan into team .
Oscar will probably miss or doubtful again then rest also .

 

[Cuzz09]

Hall gets high 20s in WAFL but they are most non threatening high 20s.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Look i don't want to trigger anyone but...

A certain somebody was the lowest ranked Eagles player on the field.

Bo Allan?

 

[Dark Sharks]

Bo Allan?

Mini? Is that you???

 

[new breed]

Hall gets high 20s in WAFL but they are most non threatening high 20s.

Yes disposal ain't great but puts in the hard work , hopefully finds his way into the AFL team because options not many really .

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Allan in for Hutch for a full game should be the easiest selection of the year. Stop dicking young players around.

 

[KBLT]

Out: Hutchinson (sub), AReid, Kelly
In: McCarthy, BWilliams, Hall

 

[Donkers]

Allan in for Hutch for a full game should be the easiest selection of the year. Stop dicking young players around.

By the time the next game starts he will have played what? 10 minutes in the last month? He needs at least a full WAFL game before playing seniors

 

[Spooky17]

Play the kids, give us green shoots, that’s all I ask. Today was painful to watch.

 

[Rids]

Out: B.Allan; In: T.McCarthy (just to get Bo a full run more than anything)

Out: A.Reid; In: B.Williams (Reid nowhere near AFL standard yet - heaps of promise but it’s costing us games; also solves problem of Flynn being cooked by last quarter)

Out: J.Hutchinson; In: C.Hall

And Hall to sub.

This has been a masterclass by McQualter in what not to do when developing a young player.
I could potentially understand it as trying to expose him to the senior level if he was getting at least a full quarter of game time, but he's barely getting on the field before the game's over.
