Prediction Round 22, 2025: Changes vs Adelaide

[EdCurnowRules]

Who is Owies sponsor? I blame you for all of this

 

[WA footy mad]

You can get Kayo a lot cheaper via the freo to go 350 for year 1 payment not montly

 

[The Gtrain]

Puck going to the game, absolute insanity anyone still rocks up to support the club.

At this point I won't even watch the game live anymore. Jump on Kayo at Half time and boot it up from the start.... It's 1000x less stressful being able to fast forwarding through replays of the opposition teams goals and their over the top celebrations.

It also turns a 3hr ordeal into one that can be wrapped up in 90 mins with less stress

plus 15secs x4 works a treat

 

[WCErevival]

Final team

Out: Hedwards, Dewar and Bailey
In: Brock, Graham and Flynn

Final team

Out: Hedwards, Dewar and Bailey
In: Brock, Graham and Flynn

Feels about right. Thankfully Taylor Walker is being rested also

 

[UseR2006]

While the next few games might resemble Ivan Drago in terms of our Oppo

Everyone that's not going to the game because they can't handle another loss...

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Laughing at the melts over Owies.... like, if only Owies wasn't in the team, maybe we'd have a chance

Bloody MC lost the game for us

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Laughing at the melts over Owies.... like, if only Owies wasn't in the team, maybe we'd have a chance

I hate to break it to you, but no one melting over Owies’ continued inclusion is doing it because they think he’s the difference between winning and losing.

 

[Scotland]

vs Freo: Flynn and Bailey Williams
vs Melb: Bailey Williams only
vs Adel: Flynn only

Can only assume next weeks the Dogs we won't be selecting a ruckman at all.

 

[WCErevival]

Owies back up ruck.

 

[darksquare]

vs Freo: Flynn and Bailey Williams
vs Melb: Bailey Williams only
vs Adel: Flynn only

Can only assume next weeks the Dogs we won't be selecting a ruckman at all.

So, Barnett?

 

[DirtySandman]

vs Freo: Flynn and Bailey Williams
vs Melb: Bailey Williams only
vs Adel: Flynn only

It was the same earlier in the year with Brock Edwards,

one, the other, neither or both…..

Almost a whole year and still ‘figuring’ out players.

 

[MrWoollie]

The only thing that's going to save us are the facts that...

1. Adelaide don't need the percentage, and
2. A week of no injury, bruise free football in the run up to finals is a perfect setup.

Still, they are that much better than us that they could play keepie's off and still canter to a 10-20 goal win.

 

[observer2]

Gross wasn't up to the pace of the game, he is developing as he should. It's up to him so please cut the victim garbage

I struggle to understand why some can't see this. He's one paced and pretty slow. I just don't see him being able to handle an inside mid position with Mini's game style he is trying to execute. Time will tell I guess but he currently isn't the answer to the lack of competitive inside mids on the list.

I dont see him being any different to Caleb Serong in terms of pace and size when its all said and done. He is more or less someone who can find the ball as opposed to the guy whose going to shrug a tackle, palm someone off and kick one from 50m out.

The games moving away from that size but you can have 1 of that type and Gross can be that 1 of that type for us

 

[Carbine Chaos]

...he's 18.

 

[WCErevival]

He just needs a couple of off-seasons to bulk up a bit. Hes quite small conpared to AFL players atm. He looks like when Long joined us.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Almost like you can afford to expose guys who aren’t quite ready to the pace of league footy when you’re 1-400 and locked in to the spoon.

Anyway onto the preview thread.

Preview - Round 22, 2025: West Coast vs Adelaide Crows

Top vs bottom. Yes, we're the bottom, and we're about to receive a pounding. Adelaide have rested Taylor Walker, who kicked 19 goals against a similarly undermanned backline across two games in 2023. But we all know someone else will step up to take his place: Riley Thilthorpe, Darcy Fogarty...
