Prediction Round 15 Changes vs. Geelong

[serial_thrilla]

Serong, Cox, Johnson and Darcy will all be available.

Spoilt for choice.

 

[Spirit Level]

Erasmus has basically made himself undroppable.

......right?

 

[The Lobbster]

Serong, Cox, Johnson and Darcy will all be available.

Spoilt for choice.

I reckon all of those come in.

Out: O’Meara, O Mac, Cox and maybe Wagner??. Noddy has been playing well but Wagner offers us flexibility in being able to play anywhere and we like having one of those blokes in the team.

......right?

10 tackles when 100 points up says yes.

 

[YelloMit]

In: B Cox, Serong, Johnson, Darcy
Out: M Cox, Wagner, JOM, OMac

Need our absolute best against the Cats.

 

[Cappy71]

Some lads played today with little experience in 2026. And they’re gonna get dropped. Cox hasn’t lost a game with Freo. And he’s gonna get dropped. What a squad!

I'm not gonna lie, I'd be happy to give Darcy one more game at Peel, bring back BCox and Serong.

If Johnson is a minor hamstring he might be touch and go as well for the Geelong game, otherwise he comes in too.

Out would be OMac, O'Meara and Wagner in my view, I'll join the crowd in hoping it isn't Ras or Drizz.

 

[Freoforever86]

In: B Cox, Serong, Johnson, Darcy
Out: M Cox, Wagner, JOM, OMac

Need our absolute best against the Cats.

Yep this.

 

[dockerfemme]

I will go with whatever the coaching group want. They are on fire.

 

[sumavich]

4 changes is a lot, in a team that just won by 20 goals.
I'd be looking at Serong in only

 

[mattis117]

This. Think you have nailed it.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Jeez I don't envy the selectors - might be where I was sitting today but I thought Jager was more than serviceable; particularly the pause into the weighted kick that found Treacy pinpoint on the chest.

Cox for OMac is straightforward. Maybe it's Wags and JOM for Serong and Jonno, but that feels brutal.

But I'm still in the "no reason to rush Darcy back before he's ready" camp. If he's good to go I'm fine with a straight swap for Tex, but I'm more than happy with Sean continuing to build his tank up at Peel.

 

[wakojako]

Two clear changes:
O. Mac > B. Cox
JOM > Serong

Johnson is best 23 but some tough decisions to be made on who he replaces. It will be Noddy or Wagner and both don't deserve to be dropped.

M. Cox > Darcy (depending on fitness)

 

[Spirit Level]

4 changes is a lot, in a team that just won by 20 goals.

So you're not bringing Brennan Cox and Johnson in to face Geelong?

 

[TheLastCall]

Cox was awful today. Darcy straight in.
JOM unlucky to Serong.
Depending in the injury recovery
OMac to Cox
and
Waggs unlucky for Johnson, we will need his tagging ability for Geelong.

Ridiculous to be considering 4 changes on suck a magnificent win.

Maybe that is what Justin was looking so worried about at the end of the game, trying to justify so many changes.

 

[go_the_dockers]

In: B Cox, Serong, Johnson, Darcy
Out: M Cox, Wagner, JOM, OMac

Need our absolute best against the Cats.

I think they keep Wagner, and drop NOD.

Either way, there will be 4 unlucky people.

 

[Righteo]

Serong, Cox, Johnson and Darcy will all be available.

Spoilt for choice.

The changes seem pretty obvious
In: Serong Cox Johnson Darcy
Out: JOM Omac NOD Cox

NOD hard done by but when you're 12-1 and have a full list to choose from there's always going to be good players missing out. My only concern with this game is the potential for a sluggish post-bye first qtr. Start strongly with 55k behind us and we'll steamroll them.

 

[Docker79]

Agreed with the suggested changes if all 4 currently who are currently out are ready to go.

M. Cox has been below average the last couple of weeks. Only noticeable thing I saw him do today that was decent was the tap to Young for a goal. Bugs me that he tries to pull off a kick when there’s better options to handball to. Needs to play within his limits.

 

[#1JohnHuttonFan]

Players mentioned to be dropped that will never be dropped! Wagner and Omac! Neither of those 2 will get dropped!

 

[swanny1234]

In: Serong, Johnson, Cox
Out: JOM, Driz, Omac

Darcy needs more time at Peel - they have a bye next week as well.

 

[freo84]

Players mentioned to be dropped that will never be dropped! Wagner and Omac! Neither of those 2 will get dropped!

Omac will go out. Bald Cox will be back.

O'meara will go out for Johnson

 

[Jezzitizle]

JL said Darcy needs to get his fitness to a level where he could ruck a whole game solo, which is sensible.

Doubt he is picked for this game on that criteria.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Farking unreal we are playing like we are and could add 4 best 23 players to the team next game. Some very unlucky players to be dropped

 

[sumavich]

So you're not bringing in Brennan Cox and Johnson in to face Geelong?

Not sure, but team balance and all that shit. There’s no way Longmuir will drop O’Meara, he loves him. Why? I have no idea

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Such a bizarre feeling and position to be in. It's basically junk time for a quarter of the season rather than quarter of the game...

Coaches need to plan out the rest of the season and rotate a rest for Treacy, Jackson, Brayshaw, Pearce, Reid, Young and Bolton.
