Prediction Round 19: Changes Vs Sydney + pre-match discussion

[arsesmart]

Acres out. NOD in. Young also a notable in with Taberner.

Swans maybe trying to stretch us with a swag of tall forwards in, with Reid, MacDonald et al.

Would’ve thought Colyer, Henry, Schulz and Tucker would’ve got omitted before Acres. Don’t mind a statement, but hope Young comes in for Tucker.

bench of Walker, Serong, Hughes and Blakely I reckon. Sub Crowden or even NoD

 

[Lach72]

So Meek, Walker, Crowden and Serong on the bench?

young and Tucker are named on the flanks. Both in

 

[Boppo]

You would think Meek is a must with Darcy being iffy. Crowden the Medi sub, he knows his role. Would like Walker to be mentioned on half back and Tucker on the bench, he isn't a half back.

 

[StingBitten]

Acres has only played a couple of poor games whereas Tucker hasn't played well at all. Hope he's moved up the ground away from half back.

Yeah I'm quite surprised he's the one that's been axed, he's been fine outside of a couple of games this year. There's been much worse performers.

Bloody Switta with a secret injury

Acres a bit unlucky.

Tucker is so slow both speed and decision making. We must be trying to up his trade value gifting him games like we did Marcus Drum

Says he picked it up today at training

He plays two then misses 4..
Rinse and repeat

Another one made of glass. We gave him an extension for more than a year which again is terrible list management.

Would that work? What are Fremantle's tall defensive stocks like?

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Acres out and surely Tucker up the ground onto a wing where he is FAR more suited than in defence, Young takes Tuckers spit back... Don't mind it, actually.

 

[salim malik]

Hughes, Serong for sure .
Coin toss for the other 2 plus medi sub.

 

[arsesmart]

Be relying on system a lot. Logue who is listed as KPD #2 is more about power and speed than height. Once you go past Logue, it's Ryan relying on his footy smarts to win contests.

 

[Taylor]

Acres being freshened up for a rubbish role in his 100th game next week?

 

[tonygeeks]

That’s it ?

Acres is the only one dropped

There there boys , not to worry

Come in and get out of the rain and I’ll make you all a nice cup of Milo

Acres pretty rough to get the axe considering we've carried a few players with lower output for longer.

Good to see Young and Tabs back at least.

 

[Midnite65]

Would have liked us to be a bit more ruthless with the outs, i.e. Tucker and Henry to start given how poor they were last week. The best chance we have to keep improving is players not getting comfortable with them thinking there is no one to take their place.

 

[Taylor]

Given Acres and Lobb are both out and that's kind of our entire second ruck team, Meek must be in

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Yeah I think Darcy will go 50/50 ruck/forward this week to take it easier on the knee. Meek to play 50% gametime

 

[mattis117]

Let's at least give Tucker a game in his preferred role before before burning him completely.

I am fine with Henry staying in too, just the type to bounce back to form after a lengthy break at home.
