Prediction Round 3: Changes Vs Eagles + pre-match discussion

[88mph]

When you come onto your opponents board to take glee (and hope) in who they may have out only to discover on their board it is instead your own team that has new outs

Probably should have kept Valente for another couple of seasons just in case he Menagolas.

Don't think Valente was the clubs choice to keep, he retired.

 

[heypenny]

As much as we would like to see it - I can't see a loads of changes.

Out: Hamling, Darcy, Banfield, Acres
In: Cox, Treacy, Sturt, O'Driscoll

Although I hate it - I think Erasmus should be sub. It's good reward for effort and great for him to be involved with the prep and pre-game. I'm sure it takes away some of the nerves too - as you don't know if you'll be playing.

Tucker and Colyer on thin thin ice.

 

[theGav56]

Also he was s**t.

Regularly outplayed by the likes of clancee, crozier, Ballard etc at peel

So, should have kept Bennell and McCarthy?

Treacy has an ankle injury and is
Out for 1-3 weeks

Did i say that?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

He's doesnt, dont go off the AFL website. Per the club, he's a test and basically good to go from all the time they've been asked in the media this week

 

[wakojako]

Far out, what a bunch of nonsense. Yeah if we win the derby with JG, then sack JLo, thank god your not in charge of the club.

Calm down sugar ****, I'm talking in the long term.

 

[Heart Of Purple]

You can play with soreness. Just avoid training.

The way he moved around the ground last week … well, I can’t imagine adding soreness on top of that.

There are guys that play well with it - but I don’t think Serongs there yet (nor should he be … already exceeding expectations)

They can just have Kelly and Nicnat, and would still destroy us.
We’re not that much better if Lobb and meek are our ruck/only tall forwards

Kelly, NN & Ryan & they win. Hell I think the team they had in last week would beat the us the way we played last week.

Hammer Pearce Walker

Clark Cox Young

Blakley Brayshaw Chappy

Switta Treacy Freddy

Shoota Lobb Serong


Meek Brodie Walters


Aish Colyer Noddy Erasmus Sub : Acres



Tucker - just buy him a plane ticket back to vic and take his SAP off him

Louge - best spot for him if we want to get maximum value out of the bloke is powering up and down the river outside the stadium in a tricked out Freo kayak with guitar guy strapped to the front mad max style playing thunderstruck

Banners - rub downs and oranges so we don’t lose his good blokiness around the team

Serong - out of the middle for mental health reasons … getting smacked by the Couch brothers in consecutive weeks can’t be good for a young players headspace

Walters - there is maybe one veteran small fwd performing in the whole of the AFL ( Breust ) once you lose your zip in that position you are cactus , last chance saloon in the guts or it’s thanks for the memories time. 1st time he falls over or plays for a free sub him out for Acres and rotate Noddy and Erasmus through there

Blakley - thought he showed a bit late last year as a Gus Brayshaw style winger in a couple of games , worth 1 last shot at it. If it works out he can sharpen up his elbows on GAGF in preparation for his battle to the death when he lines up on Ed Langdon

Meek - has been our most consistent player behind Brayshaw this year IMO ….. stays in whether Darcy makes another miracle recovery or not.

Which WA inside mids didnt we draft in 15-17 that we could have??
There didnt seem to be that many around who were drafted.

Ok.... Theres 3 off the top of my head.

Tim Kelly could of been one. Bit in 2015 and 2016, he only averaged 20 disposals a game. He averaged 26-28 Disposals in the lead up to the 2017 draft.

You can debate about getting Sam Powell pepper in 2016 but we dont get Logue.

Another we could of got in 2016 draft would be cam zuhaar who went to North. But he is a midfield/forward. We could of got him in the rookie draft but chose taylin duman instead.

In 2017..... We had no 2nd rounder but pick 23 could of netted us Brandon starcevich who got recruited to Brisbane.

Saw the betting odds.....

Eagles $1.65 Freo $2.20.

Half tempted to put $50 or even $100 on west coast

Meh , books won’t even set a market at this stage so you would have to say it’s a Covid coin flip game

Haha you must have been really going for it then - I've always felt our board is not to bad when it comes to banter with oppo posters (as it should be imo).

We don't even have one of those lame, safe-space, 'no oppo supporters' type threads.

 

[ep2018]

I put 50 on you blokes... at least one of us would win

I've put 50 on GC and North so far this season against us. Working out well so far.

You don't need it when you ban oppo supporters freely

May have got your comment/post mixed up; apologies if so.

List decisions get made. I don't think the Menegola decision was a poor one at the time. He had the opportunity to rebuild his career via the wafl, and he grabbed it.

is a big step up from a first game Rachele and also Jack Higgins I have no idea how we are going stop him kicking a bag of goals. Small forwards have absolutely destroyed us in the first two games. For all the talk of our backline depth it’s like we still don’t realise that quick small forwards exist. We can’t defend them and we can’t recruit/develop them up the other end.
