Prediction Round 23, 2025: Changes vs Western Bulldogs

[Shuestar13]

Newton, Long and one of the William’s you’d think. And hopefully Champion for Owies

 

[WCErevival]

Just realised Hunt made the extended bench. Dirty on Grego.

 

[Astro7]

It must be a meme within the MC that they keep selecting Owies, like seriously how can he still be in the side for any other reason?

Coach actually once said he's playing Owies into form. (methinks it's justifying a bad trade, but that would also be bad coaching) Anyhoo, here's hoping Newton gets a trot and replaces him. Only one game to go.

 

[stallon]

Archer -> BWilliams
Duggan -> Hunt
Gross -> Newton

Long, JWilliams and Champion to be the emergencies

 

[SloppyJoe]

Clipped Thilthorpe in the neck/shoulder.

Unfortunately don’t think there is much in it. If anything it is the secondary contact from Baker that Thilthorpe appears to react to.

Hah, this is such a one-eyed take.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hope they throw Grego a bone next week, both for sticking it out for the entire year with this garbage club and also because it would suck for him to watch debuts from all of the other 2024 draftees plus debuts from both of the mid-season reject draftees.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

You stick Grego in a backline role then don't even give him a game when Duggan is out and the ideal situation presents itself.

Bizarre.

Given he’s a Western Jets kid it would’ve been fitting to give him a game against Western.

Definitely deserves a debut

 

[EdCurnowRules]

**** yeah FIG

 

[Doashuey]

Baffling the Owies was sub last week, came on for close to half the game for 3 touches with the first resulting in an opposition goal and he doesnt get dropped, doesnt keep his sub role, doesnt even get a spot on the bench but gets promoted into a starting position.
I'd love to hear the justification for that decision.

For those that actually want to see the changes, not just nerds complaining about them:

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Don’t like seeing McCarthy back in the backline. Hope they haven’t pushed him back with Duggan out. Would much prefer we’d picked grego and kept McCarthy in the middle than do that.

Just ignore where they're named.

[Boohemian]

When I saw Newton in, I legit thought that this would be the week.

Damn.

positions mean nothing as usual

 

[Lia]

Newton is a perfect inclusion, need to explore with as many players as possible.

Grego for the last round please.

Oi poindexter, at least pay me a mention when using my material.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Archer -> BWilliams
Duggan -> Hunt

Long named on field so he’ll be in.

I actually made that myself, poindexter

Well I made a better one first, poindexter.

Expect a call from my lawyer, The Big Dippa.

When did you end my retainer?

Good lawyer to have, he keeps receipts, or so I'm told.

 

[Bender_]

When did you end my retainer?

When you refused to let me pay you in my Hutt River currency.

Has Grego been playing well enough to earn a spot? Sounds like he had a blinder earlier in the season and then dropped his bundle.
