Prediction Round 21, 2025: Changes vs Melbourne

[Mulldogg]

I suppose we have to wait for 4.20 … but if there’s three unforced changes yet Owies survives I won’t be impressed.

I can almost guarantee he’ll still be in the selected side.

Amazing the length the MC are prepared to go to in order to seemingly save face for the list management team.

 

[kerrazy]

If Owies stays in after that diabolical performance, I'll farking melt.

An absolute fraud of a footballer.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

BTW anyone who doesn't like Owies being at the club, you're welcome to blame me.

Oh we do.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Everyone’s favourite whipping boy is gonna get a game according to minis presser. Come on down Campbell Chesser!!

I was hoping he would get a game in the midfield, but it looks like he’s gonna get played on the wing again.

 

[THE A5]

Reckon Culley is going to outshine Chesser

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Owies hopefully sub.

Good to hear Hutchinson has finally been dropped. The guy has been running around like a headless chook and fumbling the ball all year.

On the bitter sweet side, Hutchinson always reminds me of Shep when i see him out there.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Reckon Culley is going to outshine Chesser

Has he played any games for Melbourne? I thought he didn’t end up on their list?

 

[FKASC]

tbh Chess makes the game worth watching. I’m no longer able to go to marvel but might actually watch the replay now

 

[The Gtrain]

Culley in for the Demons

 

[dajesmac]

Chess straight in the guts please.

At least buy him dinner first

 

[WCErevival]

Muay Thai Jai back to take down the team that didn't want him. Could be a bruising affair.

 

[FKASC]

At least buy him dinner first

Charcoal chicken from Culley’s shop?

 

[TY24]

Culley debuting for Melbourne, how good.

AGAINST THE TEAM THAT DIDN'T WANT HIM!

 

[NeedForTheReids]

OWIES SURVIVED HAHAHAHAAH

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Baffling.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Owies absolutely pulling the piss.

At least make him sub.

 

[UseR2006]

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

 

[Cuzz09]

Culley debuting

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Pretty wild changes.
Brock unlucky to go straight out.

 

[NeedForTheReids]

Owies absolutely pulling the piss.

At least make him sub.

Has to be. I just don’t understand the logic if he’s not

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

One ruckman vs Gawn is interesting.

Big Boy Bailey will destroy him.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Has to be. I just don’t understand the logic if he’s not

Owies on the bench instead of being in the starting 18 opens up that possibility.

 

[Barrybran]

Interesting lineup. Conceding the ruck and going with an extra runner.

 

[LittleFires]

So we have three like for like changes and one that’s a bit left field.

Edwards comes in for Brock
Chesser in for Hutchinson
Gross in for Reid
Davis in for Flynn

Can see the logic in giving Bailey the opportunity to lead the ruck, has a better track record against Gawn than Flynn does. Interesting choice to not bring in a tall for Flynn, but I guess there wasn’t really anyone banging the door down.
Archer Reid to probably do the backup rucking, leaving us a little short up forward.

Will be good to see how Chesser goes for one last crack at it. Hopefully give him some minutes on the inside as well. Hutch probably due for a spell.

Brock stiff to be dropped but I’m glad we’re backing in Bazzo and giving him a chance to build form at AFL level.

Owies on the other hand… he’s had plenty of chances and not done much. Very lucky to be in the side - you would hope as the sub, given he’s been named on the bench.
