Preview Round 19: Essendon vs Greater Western Sydney, Carrara, Sunday 25/07/2021 @ 6:10 PM

[Duckworth]

Sure. But Zaka in to replace Egg? That I can get around.

Cutler is a better player than Zakka right now.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Shiel, Durham, Cutler, Ham and Guelfi all named as emergencies for the VFL side, suggesting that either Shiel plays VFL or one of those four makes way for him.

 

[Mikevk123]

In- Shiel
Out- Waterman

B Laverde Stewart Redman
HB Heppell Ridley Hind
C Smith Merrett Cox
HF Perkins Wright Snelling
F Stringer Hooker Tipungwutti
Foll: Draper Shiel Parish
Inte: Ham, Cutler, Durham, Guelfi
Sub: Waterman
Emergency: Clarke, Zaharakis, Bryan, Zerk-Thatcher, Gleeson

 

[Maddogm]

Zaka, Gleeson and Bryan have all been named in the VFL. They aren't playing.

In the VFL?

 

[boncer34]

Francis is where?

 

[eth-dog]

Francis is where?

Forward pocket in the VFL

 

[boncer34]

Forward pocket in the VFL

Seems odd

 

[ghostdog]

He is not from Adelaide.

Played for West Adelaide but not from Adelaide? If he's happier to play for Coober Pedy or wherever, I don't think it matters, if that's where he would rather be.

 

[andleanback]

how does guelfi get dropped for someone like zaharakis. He had one of his best games last week.

 

[11kgm]

* off Zaka, if we lose Guelfi i will be fuming best game for the club dropped

 

[Petrify]

Guelfi and Waterman are so stiff.

 

[11kgm]

Why does one article say Bryan in and one says he is not in?

 

[JayJ20]

Why is Guelfi out? Waterman for Shiel makes sense, but Guefli should be in the side.

 

[JayJ20]

GWS changes

In: Mumford, Whitfield and Ash
Out: Flynn (inj), Finlayson and Ward (managed)

Pretty handy having Ward and Finlayson out along with Greene

 

[Gabe251]

God these changes suck.

 

[Gabe251]

I am sick of seeing zakas name in our team.

 

[MightyDon]

Dev Smith should be dropped if we are going to make silly changes like bring zakka in

 

[ghostdog]

Well. Zaharakis has recently been workmanlike when he has played, but Guelfi has been more consistently workmanlike for longer. Maybe the difference is Zaka's ability to find goals.

 

[kleanr]

Dev Smith should be dropped if we are going to make silly changes like bring zakka in

just chill, he would be on his last warning and we need his experience.
bookmark this, he's gonna have a great game come Sunday milo & jammy jamms time

 

[TheGrizz]

Disappointed they dropped Waterman, equally bemused they brought in Zaharakis.

Hope he goes well though, we will need his run against the Giants.

 

[Call Me Cake]

I feel for Guelfi because I think that was probably his best game for a while.

Waterman too, even though he was better against Adelaide.

And I don't really think they were that bad despite being a part of the team that trailed the wooden spooners. You'd think if they're dropping Guelfi, they'd drop Smith too.

I think the last game Zaka played before his injury, he was actually competing and was stringing some form together, so his immediate inclusion after recovery could be as a reward for that.

Reckon Smith should have made way for Zaka in that case then, instead of Guelfi.

 

[andleanback]

First time this year I haven’t been a fan of the changes. I hope it doesn’t backfire in a dewy night game.

 

[owen87]

This might be the first time this season I really don’t understand the team changes. Shiel, sure. But Zaharakis in over Guelfi is confusing.

I assume it’s Zaharakis for Waterman on the HFF technically. But still.

Shiel most likely playing in waterman’s spot

 

[owen87]

Shiel most likely playing in waterman’s spot

Zaharakis was on the HFF last time he was playing wasn’t he? Which is sort of where Waterman was as well
