Prediction Round 16, 2025: Changes vs Collingwood

[Mop]

We'll have some fresh legs against the best team in the comp at least.
Still. Probably gonna be grim

IN:
Shanahan
A Reid
Bazzo
Grego or Chesser.


OUT
Allen (Inj)
Hedwards (Inj)
Flynn (crab)
Hunt (needs a spell)

Objectively.. does Reid deserve a callup? No. Nor yet to Grego or Chesser. Chesser would be my preference as this is really make or break for him. I figure though we might as well start looking to the future with our injuries mounting,
Shanahan has earned his callup though, be it front or back. Reid can rest the other way, preferably back. Bazzo for Hedwards. Grego or Chess for Hunt who just... man. 2 disposals. I don't even - and I like the dude.

Edwards was terrible today you all know it.

I don't mind him playing a bit more ruck at the Beagles.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In: Cole, Champion, Shanahan
Out: Hunt, Kelly, Allen (inj)

Dewar to the wing, Cole slots in.

Champion needs a crack as a shot in the arm creative small forward, something we simply do not have. Cripps or Kelly the candidates.

Want Shanahan to play. It’ll be AReid.

Full game for Hall please, Hutch can sub.

Nor do I, I'd argue its preferable, but I don't want Flynn anywhere near the side either.

Wasn't Cole out for 4?

 

[stallon]

Allen -> A.Reid
Edwards(if inj) -> Bazzo
Hunt -> Hough
Hutchinson to sub, Hall to get a full game

Wings to just be Maric and Dewar for the rest of the year, Hunt only comes in if those two just are shit for multiple weeks in a row.
Allan and McCarthy to stay in our d50 for the rest of the year. D50 is 2 KPDs + Ginbey, Baker, McCarthy, Allan and Duggan.

Reid and Hewett to keep the mid/fwd splits they did today, 50% CBAs looked good on them today.
Hall to get 50% CBAs, Hough 70%, 40% to Graham, then the remaining 40% to Brockman/Ryan.

Dont need to bring in Owies, only one of him or Cripps at a time please.

WAFL should have Hunt, Cole, and one of Cripps/Owies for the rest of the year, unless we get injuries or the kids need a refresh in the WAFL.

Shanahan to keep playing KPD in the WAFL, unless Allen is done for the year, in which case he goes forward. I wouldnt be upset at all if Shanahan didnt debut this year.

BW, JWil and Archer to do the 3 KPF/2nd ruck roles

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Wasn't Cole out for 4?

Oh lol forgot.

Uh….Hunt survives and has an important role to play as a senior player with a tank against a rampant Pies side.

 

[Cuzz09]

We gotta get games into young guys. The WAFL side is not a true reflection on what they can do.

Shanahan could be our Georgiadis (Port) Young key fwd just pump games into him

Malakai could be our new Willie (hehe)

Drop Kelly

Dewar push closer to goal, gets nervous near d50 and does piddly kicks, needs to flow.

There are good signs there

 

[Mop]

I do get the logic, It makes total sense, and yet I'd rather us give it to Grego or someone to give them that exposure to the MCG. So often we get players who are lost in the infrequent visits to the great colosseum. We're gonna lose, might as well do something with it.

EDIT: Collingwood at Marvel. Less important, but my point stands for the Melbourne exposure.

 

[Bender_]

What I want (isn't what we'll get):

Out: Flynn, HEdwards*, Allen, Hunt.

In: AReid, Shanahan, Hough, Chesser.

*HEdwards I don't want out, only if he's injured. If not Chesser misses out.

Kelly to sub purely as a message.

Edit: Forgot Hough may be available.

 

[mitchzz]

Shanahan must play. I don't care what else we do lol

 

[amazingjoshy]

Normally agree with alot of what you post, but there is no world where Hunt shouldn't be the first dropped from tonight's game

[Carbine Chaos]

Shanahan should be nailed on to debut, very keen.

 

[Rids]

Out: O.Allen -> In: J.Shanahan
Out: Hunt -> In: Hough

If H.Edwards is injured then I'd go Bazzo.

Hall was good in the clearances in last quarter, I'd be tempted to give him full run and Hutchinson into sub.

You can forgive the assumption!

 

[Westend]

I expect Harley to be rubbed out for at least 2 weeks ...its Harley so automatic suspension

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Shanahan, Hough, Reid
Out: Allen, Edwards, Flynn

 

[KERRPOW]

Out: hunt, kelly, hutch, cripps, allen

 

[unty11]

IN:
Shanahan
Bazzo
A Reid
Chesser.
long
harvey johnston



OUT
Allen (Inj)
Hedwards (Inj)
Flynn
Hunt
cripps
kelly


Shanahan replaces allen.
Bazzo for hedwards
Reid plays main ruck for flynn. Try something different hopefully we don't break him.
Chesser comes in for hunt playing for his career as motivation i prefer maric playing 3rd tall interceptor especially with him being free'd up from kicking duties by mccarthy.
long replaces cripps think he provides more defensively against rebounding defenders than cripps both are a goal game players so its no big deal
Johnston replaces kelly just think he has better delivery into the forward line given his limited chances.
I would like to have greggo replacing duggan but then both our co-captains aren't playing.

Dewar seems to be having the same problem as Maric with those shorter kicks. Just looks like theres no movement up the field so they are both trying to be too cute.

 

[Cuzz09]

Wasn't Cole out for 4?

That was Labuschagne

You know I just saw that on twitter and they've already started the chat around it

Yep, Pies on the road. Rare.
