Prediction Round 2, 2023: Changes vs GWS

[Dark Sharks]

I reckon every debutant should get 2

Agree. Thing is i dont actually think he really should've been playing in the first place.

Chesser has BigFooty credits in the bank.

Spin move = 6 weeks free.

Chesser had 5 disposals. 5! He did absolutely nothing.

What's the point in giving him another game when he is clearly not ready. It will just kill his confidence. Let him spend a few months in the WAFL to learn how to find the ball.

Spot on.

I'm a "sack Simpson/fold the club/ play the youth" guy every day of the week. But not when he's clearly not ready.

Go play some games of WAFL against men, pick up the tempo and gather some touches to build that confidence first.

 

[Schtinker]

In: Culley, Petch
Out: XON, Jamieson

Hough for Witherden if he’s actually fit. Suspect when Yeo becomes available Chesser could be vulnerable

Why would you want Petch in when he was already there and showed nothing

 

[Bender_]

Is Dark Sharks taking a giant dump on an Eagles kid again?

And a debutante this time. For shame.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I'd give Chesser at least one more game before deciding he needs time in the WAFL (even if he does).

Rather strange isn’t it. I would have thought a much fabled young player, the likes of which people have been crying about getting a go would be given a bit more support in comparison to one of the useless old hacks. But here we are

I would hope Chesser gets a few more games, a bit more of a taste of the top level and then maybe then to the WAFL. The youth need to be cycled in and out throughout the year. All of them! All of them I would hope get chances.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Play the kids till the cows come home, **** the seniors.

Ideally it'd be kids who are ready and not totally out of their depth though.

Culley/Hough/Hewett/Ledwards for mine.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Drop Kelly or Sheed for not putting in sufficient effort all game. Hewett can come in for 1 of them. I'd prefer it to be Sheed.

Hough can come in for Witherden.

Jamieson out as he is rubbish, same as Williams but he's less rubbish which says how bad Jamieson is because Williams cost Eagles winning that game most likely. 2nd rucks - Darling, McGovern and any mid who cares just play to lose the tap. Petruccelle in.

In an ideal world Gaff is replaced but there's nobody to replace him with. He tries hard but he's just no good

 

[Seadog]

Delist him now lol.

How many effective disposals did Ryan have, or Gaff or most of them? I havnt bothered looking at the stats but Gaff and Ryan did almost nothing effective as well. Can add a list of names to that list. Cripps, Duggan, Sheed may have racked up a few meaningless possessions but wasnt noticeable.

Chesser would get more games if i was in charge. Also would bring in Hough for probably Witherden. Culley for Oneil. Unfortunately we have nothing else really.

Ryan, 3 goals, 7 marks, 5 tackles , that Ryan? yeah he did nothing.

 

[Seadog]

Chesser is a tough one, drop him after one game and destroy his confidence or play him again and hope another poor effort doesn't destroy his confidence. Gaff is not going anywhere at this stage so ONeill, Witherden and Jamieson are the likeliest suspects to play WAFL.

 

[peeky]

Cant keep playing 2 ruckmen that both offer nothing around the ground as well as really offering nothing in the ruck either.

 

[Schtinker]

Can we please have some umpires that can bounce a farking ball. They are trying to eliminate the bounce from the game by stealth. The bounce provides a form of unpredictability that isn't replicated by the throw up and is unique to our great game. Even the word throw up makes me want to spew.

Do GWS have a decent ruck?

Dont have to decent to give our rucks a hiding

Wut.

Ryan was one of our best players today.

Has a vertical leap only 3cm less than Naitanui.

 

[Alesana]

Out: Williams. I don't want to see XON in an Eagles jumper ever again. Wouldn't mind seeing Witherden dropped.
In: Maybe Waterman comes in as back-up ruck. I want to see Culley, SPS, Hewett make it into the side. Wouldn't mind Hough coming in.

I think Chesser deserves some perseverance at this stage.

 

[Goroyals22]

Wut.

Ryan was one of our best players today.

No… his first half was complete vomit. He had 4 disposals and surprisingly 2 tackles because north players ran by him with no pressure most of the time.

His direct opponent had 4 disposals in the first minute of his first game being Sheezel if you remember.

 

[dinnaz]

Essentially these guys that come in only missed because of injury. Let the team settle before and give the axe time to sharpen up.
OUT: O'Neill IN: Culley
OUT: Jamieson IN: Naitanui


Didn't mind Witherden's game. Got shitmixed a handful of times and never took a backward step.
May as well play Chesser in the 1s. He is more a quality over quantity and as long as he is fresh let him take a wing.
Hewett (Sub) could be done but then we will pull an injury in the first 5 minutes and I don't think his fitness is there yet.

4 disposals in the first minute, you wouldn't be exaggerating would you* I'm curious as to why you follow footy, you seem to get no enjoyment from it, hate everyone who plays for the team you supposedly support and generally search out shit to whinge about and if there's nothing there you invent it.

*Just watched the first minute of the game Sheezel had 1 disposal

They called a couple of 6 6 6 warnings and everytime they did it, they then announced they would throw the ball up instead of bounce. I'm not sure why that is.

I saw the same thing in a few other games.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Shuey looked pretty sore when he came onto the bench towards the end of the 4th quarter.
I still don’t understand how Hewett having just completed an uninterrupted pre season is not fit to run out a game, I call bullshit.

Nah, needs another game, in front of a home crowd as well.
Gotta show some faith in the young fellas.
Nata, Culley and Hewett in for BW, Witherden and XON.

 

[WCET22]

Ins - Hough, Naitanui, Culley, Hewett. Dewar

Outs - Witherden, Hurn, Jamieson, Xon, Gaff,
