Prediction Round 14, 2025: Changes vs Carlton

[3agles87]

But to be fair to Flynn, each week we hear from multiple sources, that he’s going up against ‘one of the best ruckmen in the league’.

For the week they play against Flynn, it is hard to argue they are not ‘one of the best ruckman in the league’

Barnett not coming on really tanked the planning

or was Barnett not coming on part of the tanking plan

 

[THE A5]

Williams and Barnett lowered their colours to Josh Edwards in the WAFL (BBW gets a call up anyway), Flynn letting oppo rucks break records most weeks.

Our ruck stocks are at an all time low.

Funny how hopeless Edwards was with the Beagles and now he’s dominating us

 

[Spange]

Got a feeling about this game. We will bring the pressure and the blue will falter. Kick truly and god speed

Good on ya Spange, there nothing quite like an optimistic WC supporter, I like it.
Unfortunately Flynn will go up against another outstanding ruck this week, if Bailey Williams gets selected over Archer Reid, I think our chances of winning go up.
Otherwise we will get to watch the DeKoning show, and then get to listen to the same posters say over and over again that we just need to draft midfielders.

I'll be there with my Wife...It's our Daughter and Son's first live game and I'm going with a Carlton supporter mate.

The boys are going to turn it on and get a victory. I can feel it in my bones!!!

 

[ArdentEagle]

TDK is a great player but if I'm coaching, I'd hit him two fold. He's a little vulnerable in a few areas.

1.

Both O'Brien and Briggs has pretty good outings against him. His influence was limited somewhat against both Crows and GWS. I can recall Goldy working him over in 2024 too.

I'd get Flynn to channel Mumford and really work him over every chance possible.



2.

He's not the best defender, especially when deep. Both Flynn and B.Williams have to make themselves dangerous, and importantly, hold early marks to make him defend more. Flynn is a pretty decent mark around the ground and Bailey is on the improve...Take the wind out of his sails, before he gets the motor started.

Did he even dominate? Our boys had more combined hitouts and BWilliams bettered his disposal count.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

It's almost like McQualter thinks he's an older player that can just plug into the squad when required. Similar to Owies. Maybe someone needs to tell him that Long is still a kid and that's coming off a knee reco and needs development.

Or maybe the credits long term plan is making a comeback.

Got a good feeling about this game for no reason at all.

What's the highest amount of BSDs to play in a game together? Feels like we might go close this week, but also trying to work out if we've played 23 ourselves previously.

Williams at least contributed and did some good things to look like an AFL player whilst those around him were fumbly and awful. When your ruckman handling the football better than your WAFL midfielders, you know you've got issues.

He also played out of FF for large chunks of the game, Barnett took most CBD's i reckon.



14D, 4 Tackles, 23 hitouts and a goal isn't huge for Bailey, but he passed the eye test for mine.

Spuddy Barnett - 5D, 2 tackles and 9 hitouts

They are all the best when your at the bottom and there is daylight to the rest.

Our wins will come for the less expected teams. Perhaps less pressure on us? Blues are a good list but there are weaknesses - one is pressure.

Which is funny because when we got Flynn people were trying to say that the only reason he wasn't a B22 ruckman anymore was because he was forced out ... By one of the best ruckmen in the AFL

Long had never played WAFL before this year.

If McCarthy's field kicking is as good as Daniher's he's a 100+ game player for us. Daniher was an exceptional field kick.

For how long? Watch this space.
What will come first, the thinning or greying.
You know it is coming.

If long is 87.5kg, I’m 8.5 inches

You are pretty much, 8.3 inches to be precise

In a sea of dross, this post is genuinely clever. I actually laughed out loud.
