Prediction Round 2, 2023: Changes vs GWS

[EdCurnowRules]

So XON with 16 centre bounces was 'busy enough' with 8 disposals for the whole game, but Petch with a goal (wrongfully disallowed) and some good contests in the air off limited game time is a 'poser' who is good for **** all?

That hurts carbine

 

[southcoast]

Having Sheed start as the ruckman in centre bounces is not only an indictment on Jamieson and Williams but also an admission from Simpson that he got it wrong by picking them both.
One of Jamo or Williams has to go (don’t care which one) and Hough must play if he’s available.

I thought Jamo had been subbed out by Petro at that stage in the game.

BW off having a rest.

Not pulling Darling or Gov etc into bounce coz game still on the line. Sheed last man left - just trying to create a contest at bounce and go from there.

That’s the way I read Sheed in the ruck.

What’s with the hate for Sheed. Clearly wasn’t our best today but clearly wasn’t our worst either.
He’s not defensively great but there are others just as bad in this side. What he does do well is clearly better than some in the side however.
The guy has only played a couple of games in the last 18 months going to take a few games to get back to his best.
I could understand if you said you thought Dom, Gaff and Kelly were average and need to lift , Xon didn’t touch it and needs to be replaced with Hewitt.

Sheed was extremely lazy defensively in the first half. Effort needs to be a non negotiable for the entire game by every player. Dropping him now sets an example for the entire team including Sheed for the next 21 games.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: Witherden (possibly injured, not sure), O’Neill, Petch as sub
In: Hough, Hewett, SPS as sub

Backs: Barrass, Gov, Hurn, Duggan, Cole, Hough, Shuey/Ginbey
Mids: Kelly, Sheed, Ginbey/Shuey, Hewett, Gaff and Hunt (wings)
Rucks: the two fit ruckmen
Forwards: Allen, Darling, Ryan, Cripps, Jones, Long, Chesser
Sub: SPS
Emergencies: Clark (held over), Waterman, Edwards

Drop a couple of the disappointing (relatively) older guys, start getting games into Hough and Hewett.

The rucks survive because there’s nothing behind them but Edwards is an emergency to remind them he’s kind of an option if they continue to stink it up.

Given I barely saw Chesser I’m assuming he was playing the “red wing” role? As opposed to O’Neill who was one of the most frequent centre bounce attendees and still barely touched it.

So in your mind Sheed needs to be the one dropped to make the example for the rest of the team because he was poor in the first half like the majority of the team were……. Yeah okay
What will actually happen is that Sheed will play against GWS because he was far from our worst contributor

 

[Cursedsword02]

Whitfield will likely miss through concussion protocols, so a bit of a boost for us... if it does help at least.

No he was lazy defensively. Every player has a poor quarter/half but effort is something every player can always put in even if things are not going their way.

He's been ruled out of this match with concussion so no possible way he plays next week now, right?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Looks like Kelly in concussion protocol as well now

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yep. Probably add Kelly to that as well now. And Perryman and Haynes would have to be some doubt.

They might need to bring back Brander just to get a team together.

 

[Goroyals22]

Our mids might only get beaten next week not pantsed the way the giants are losing blokes

You would think he would be out next week...with all this concussion around atm in the news

should help us

 

[kranky al]

Ins
Hough, Culley

Outs
Witherden, O'Neill

Jamieson and Bailey both don't deserve a game, but no one to replace them with sadly

Play ginbey / sheed as the ruck and tell him to just rove the oppo.

At least we have an extra mid.

Could

Not

Possibly

Work worse than the spuds out there yesty.

 

[bh90210fan]

Waterman can come in and be the spare ruck, or Clark can do what Sheed did and we play an extra mid.

Both are better options than a Williams / Jamieson combination.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Could be the firestarter boiz

Or could be they only win by 10 goals now instead of 15

We watched what LDU did to our mids. Next week will be big Tom Green, Callaghan, Cognilo and whatever rolls Royce top draft pick they'll pull from the magoos to replace Kelly.

All right I’ll do it and like the post……..

Gee we are woke these days!

 

[Obeanie1]

Well Laird had a quiet game, tagged.

Was Kelly tagged by North?

The Kelly, Shuey, XON and Sheed combo at centre bounces is unbalanced even with Ginbey.

Apart from our 1st gamer in Ginbey we lacked combative instinct and size.

Shuey isnt the future so put him on the half back line to lead. Rotate Kelly forward to help shake the tag.

We need to play 2 or 3 of Ginbey, Culley, Clark, West, Trew and L Edwards through the centre rotations and lets see who's got a future.

We have a few options to call on , pretty sure midfield rotations will be tried sooner then later .

 

[Seadog]

You complete dolt. He has three possessions by the 41second mark and a fourth by 1 min 52 second mark of the first quarter plus 2 uncontested marks whilst on Ryan . Fact.

Now if it makes you feel better Ryan had a fantastic start to the game he really had the defensive side of his game up and he looked to be trying even though the nasty biased commentators were picking on him….

His second half was a great improvement and more of what should be expected from him.

OK I concede, just watched the first minute without the aid of a bottle of wine this time and he did indeed have 3 possies in the first minute so you only slightly exaggerated.

I was out by 52 seconds.. I’ll take that as some apology.

I didn't say I was sorry, I admitted I was wrong.
Na fair play, you won that round.
Note to self - try not to get so lippy with a few drinks under your belt.

 

[Bender_]

try not to get so lippy with a few drinks under your belt.

Good luck with that.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Was Kelly tagged by North?

Nope, just had a very average game and didn’t have anyone winning contests for him to release him outside and make him look good.

Happened once and he looked a million dollars. Unfortunately he’s playing in one of the worst sides in the AFL so needs to realise that can’t be his one wood he relies one given what he’s paid.

 

[WCET22]

7 Outs, 7 ins.

Out -
2 Defenders
Witherden [Not AFL standard, hoped to be our Jetta replacement] Delist
Hurn - Lost Speed, Thankyou Bunga it's time to pass the baton.
2 Midfielders
Xon - Not AFL Standard, never going to be what we need. Maybe a trade to a Victorian Club for a pick.
Gaff - Too Slow, Kicks backwards, sideways almost 1st option for him everytime. Retire not worth anything on trade table. Be lucky if Gold Coast would bring him in.

Sub switch Petruccelle - He is cover for Long, Cripps & Ryan.

INS
2 Defenders_Half Backs
Bazzo, Hough - Our Future talent to burn.

3 -Midfielders -
Hewett - The Next Shuey type mid we need to replace Shuey.
Yeo - Our Best mid, minor calf he will pass a test late in week.

3 - Culley - Our Bontempelli - Midfield bull.
Can rotate with Yeo when he comes off.

Ruck
Nic Nat - Our Number 1.
A Defender can pinch hit in the back line.


Sub - Cover for Nic Nat
Barnett is his replacement and to help late in games. Nic can go down fwd and Barnett to Ruck.

Jamieson - Find a GYM. 3 years away from finding out what he has got.

Williams - SpudShed - Trade to Western Bulldogs with something for Timmy English.

Was hoping for a year in the WAFL to help Barnetts development, but can see him debuting sooner rather than later.
