Prediction Round 16, 2024: Changes vs Hawthorn

[CursoryMercenary]

In: Reid, Jack Williams



Out: Bailey Williams, Jones


I understand Kelly is still out for a bit.

 

[Smotie2]

Out. B Williams. Petrucelli. Witherden.
In: reid, J Williams, Kelly.

 

[Hoskin300]

Out. B Williams. Petrucelli. Witherden.
In: reid, J Williams, Kelly.

Witherden has been our best small defender this year why on earth would we drop him.

 

[InTheWings]

Considering Kelly may not be ready...

Out: JJ
In: Harley

Duggan back to half back

Would be good to replace B Williams too but I don't know who'd come in and I don't want another tall. Can Culley chop out in the ruck?

 

[WA footy mad]

I agree with the ins midfield Reid, Yeo, Kelly , Ginbey on the bench

 

[kerrazy]

Just praying that Sheed doesn't return.

 

[Bender_]

Out: Jones Darling Rotham

In: Kelly Reid Dewar

Duggan back for Rotham
Dewar and BWilliams forward for Darling
Kelly and Reid back into the middle

Not sure about keeping Hurchinson in but wouldn't mind seeing another young kid get a chance.

Wtf...you watch the game today mate?

And Hough has been out best small defender.
Witherden is a turnover merchant.

 

[KERRPOW]

In: reid, kelly, J.will
Out: flynn/Bwill, hutch, brockman

UNFORTUNATELY no one available to replace rotham.

 

[sharps24]

In: Reid, Hedwards
Out: Jones, Witherden

Would love to see the Williams twins swap places but I can't see it happening. There was absolutely no point in Hutchinson playing for 8 minutes in this game, so he might as well go back to the WAFL.

Ruck is a mess now. I think we're probably better off playing both Williams boys than we are a Williams and Flynn combo. Given Hutchinson has only been at the club 5 minutes but presumably has the fitness to run out a match and the athletic profile to do this, I'd be up for trialing him as the sacrificial tweener ruck if we wanted to trial Flynn solo. Other than Darling in the f50 the only blokes we've trialed as micro-ruck is Waterman, Rotham and Luke Edwards. Dare say Hutchinson is an upgrade on any of those options.

This week is just about Harley now.

Who cares what happened.

Bring him in and get good vibes going again

I think Hough, Cole, Duggan and Rotham are all better small defenders than Witherden, who lacks the pace to actually defend anyone. He can look good playing as the spare but that causes more problems than it solves I think.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

One if not two of the bigs need to go, which means one of the rucks and someone else because that ball is exiting our forward line disgustingly easy too often.

It's going to be a tough choice to make because you're not dropping the 291 game player, you're not dropping the co captain and you're not dropping the Coleman medal contender. So some tough calls need to be made.

 

[Hoskin300]

Nearly like I base selections on more than one game. That would be pretty smart wouldn’t it?

Hough has been pretty good but witherden has been better. Regardless if you want Hough first witherden has been our second best.

One of Williams or Flynn has to go, Flynn probably deserves an extra couple of weeks, he just he reminds me of a poor man Sean Darcy

so slow.

 

[Cuzz09]

Hall debut v Hawks

They've got less flashy mids but tough contested mids.

Reckon he'd get in amongst it.

Just do it

This team only works if Flynn is able to ruck more minutes with Darling/Rotham chopping him out

B: Hough, Barrass, Witherden
HB: Hunt, McGovern, Duggan
C: Chesser, Yeo, Maric
HF: Cripps, Waterman, Brockman
F: Ryan, Allen, Darling

R: Flynn, Reid, Kelly

I/C: Rotham, Cole, Ginbey, Dewar

S: Petruccelle

Darling, Waterman, Allen can work they all kicked multiple goals. On a slightly better day it would have been Waterman and Allen 4, Darling 3. Maric played up the ground and Hutchinson basically didn't play at all. Cripps also could have had 4 and he might as well be a tall because he's not a crumbing small forward or doing anything to lock the ball in there. Williams definitely needs to go and we need to find a small forward who stays home and plays like one as Ryan and Brockman are basically midfield. Rawlinson or Harvey Johnson probably the only two options on the list who can crumb down there but Simpson doesn't seem to have a place in his set ups for a true small forward.

 

[Cainozz]

I thought JJ had a pretty good game overall. Stiff to be dropped.

 

[Smotie2]

Hough has been pretty good but witherden has been better. Regardless if you want Hough first witherden has been our second best.

Witherden regularly turns the ball over.

We should reward WAFL form...

 

[Cuzz09]

Hawks were the form team before the bye.

Hopefully they come out flat

Often a break can disrupt a good run of games.

Yeah I know but I just wanna see a glimpse of what he can do in AFL.

I'm sure he won't get selected anyway

[CoastersFlag No.5]

In: Harley, Kelly
Out: JJ, Petrucelle.
From the injury list Kelly was listed as back this week. Think Harley and Kelly help us inside and outside. Pretty straightforward Sheed and Gaff to the WAFL. Teach the kids.

 

[chaddy22]

In. Reid Kelly? Jwilliiams
Out. Jones, Hutchinson, Bwilliams
