Prediction Round 19: Changes vs Essendon

[I Lost My Keays]

Mackay named in the team?

Dear Selectors,

Here's this:

Reckon it will be ROB in for Tex.

We will also use the excitement of a debut to sneak Mackay back into the side and hope no one notices. Atkins might be the unlucky one.

Sometimes it sucks being right.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Why Mackay why...

 

[Anzacpaul]

Thompson named on the bench, very interesting.
Why did they BOTHER TO NAME MACKAY?
It's pointless, he got dropped for under performing & travelled as an emergency then he's named for the game the week after?
What's the point?

Line breaking midfielder apparently.

 

[diligaf473]

So DMac must've been an awesome emergency last week? Gets picked after getting dropped without even having to earn a recall.

[The Sloane Ranger]

So can someone explain to me how after being dropped for form that DMac comes back into the side without regaining form in the SANFL side ?

 

[King Elvis]

I'm potentially excited - will be huge if they make the right changes here. Going back to Mackay would be a waste of time - what he offered 2 weeks ago wasn't good enough, it won't be now.

I'd love to see Wigg debut!

David Mackay line breaking?

Cut and paste from a 2008 press release?

 

[pjcrows]

Mackay is named on the field?

I don't typically crack selection but if he gets a run ahead of Wigg against Essendon I will blow up.

 

[hey shorty]

Seedsman and DMac named on field, who knows whether that means much.

What exactly did David do last week after being dropped ?? Cut up the oranges well I bet.

Shooter VERY lucky also.

 

[GreyCrow]

Grabbing a bite to eat. See you all in oh about 10 pages time in 20 minutes

Injuries (unfortunately)

Smith and Laird named on bench but not Mackay. What even.

 

[jackster83]

Great opportunity for D-Mac to rack up his 18 disposals against one of the powerhouse sides of the comp.

What a shame VB isn't available so we could also bring him in to find some form.

 

[Scorpus]

Shaw, Menzel and Lowden are all back in the SANFL side this week.

Great news for Shaw in particular who has missed 15 weeks with concussion

 

[Ramify]

Noble has shares in his stock.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A message from pyke he is not happy with their performances last week.

 

[radiojake]

Rowey just asked Bicks if he thinks ROB will play. Bicks said he wouldn't play him and Rowey then asked why ROB would be named. Bicks said that a tall is usually named as an emergency. I'm not suggesting that ROB will be playing, but surely this is the first time that anything resembling a replacement for Sauce has been named as an emergency. Otto would surely be the tallest emergency named so far this year.

Except the time where O'Brien was an emergency last week

Hang on, do we even put the team sheet out like that or do the brainstrust at afc hq just go figure?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Milera, Wigg & Thompson probably drop out. Personally I would pick Wigg ahead of mackay, but it's not going to happen which is disappointing.

Good opportunity to give sauce less time in ruck bringing in Rob... Unless weather atrocious, then play wigg.

Yeah I'm usually pretty reserved, but this is an outrageous selection call. How the hell does someone that was dropped the previous week, who didn't then play the week after, earn a call up over someone like Wigg who was again our best in the SANFL?

This is just a horrible horrible call by Pyke and the selection panel.

 

[mtbkym]

Would love to see Wigg get a game for sure, maybe Thommo will be rested, so bench will be Laird, Smith, Lyons and Wigg.....maybe

 

[BACCS]

Yeah but to then name Mackay, who has been horrible for most of the season and didn't even have to earn a recall through performance? Absolute joke.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Reckon 25% + chance wigg plays in front of Thommo

Perfect chance to debut against guys the same vintage and similar experience
