Prediction Round 4, 2023: Changes vs Melbourne

[Mop]

I know its only halftime but we're currently three injuries deep. So, with that in mind..

 

[Keys]

Think we can wait til the game finishes

 

[Keys]

We don’t need changes threads at half time

Now we’re good

In : Competent umpires

Out : Whatever the **** these clowns are

 

[WCErevival]

In: Culley, Hough, Petch, Hedwards and Clark

Out: Shuey, Gov, Witho, Cripps and Ryan

Nah I disagree given the context - can take it out of the thread though if we don’t want to clog it with philosophical debate

It’s more a matter of who comes in?

McGovern, Shuey are definitely gone
Witherden has to serve a mandatory, what, 12 days? He’s gone.
Cripps is probably gone for a few at least
Ryan is also probably gone for a while
Chesser looked iffy. Barrass maybe no certainty

Who the hell do we have ?

Unfortunately those who deserve to be dropped on form probably won’t now (looking at you Sheed and Gaff)

Hough, Hedwards and Culley would be near certainties
Rotham may have to come right back in too.

From then on it starts getting dicier

Thought Gaff was immense this match. Just kept running

 

[Mop]

Thought Gaff was immense this much. Just kept running

When the game was on he was butchering it. Maybe what he did after was commendable, but it’s not enough

 

[WCE_phil]

Chesser will see how he pulls up with a tweak to the knee
Darling, I got sent a message at half time that he had a tweak in his upper back in the first half

So we're potentially 7 down with injuries although I expect Darling to get up.

 

[Quinz]

Great effort.

No changes.

 

[THE A5]

Out Shuey Cripps Gov Witho Ryan Chesser
In West Clark Edwards Rotham Petch Culley

The game was on right up until the 10 minute mark of the last. Had a great second half - I'm not even a Gaff fan but undeniable effort and will power. Always courageous in contests and really does set an example of spirit and attitude.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In: Edwards, Yeo, Culley, Hough, Petch
Out: Gov, Witherden, Shuey, Cripps, Ryan

Assuming that’s the extent of it, which would be a blessing at this point.

-------

Edit: Having another crack. Decided Yeo comes back slowly.

Culley for Shuey
Edwards for Gov
Hough for Witherden
Petch for Cripps
Hewett for Ryan
Clark for Chesser

Rotham to sub.

 

[KERRPOW]

Shuey, gov, ryan and witho all miss with injuries.

Culley, edwards, yeo.and xon probable ins

 

[bzparkes]

Well, everyone who wanted the over 30s out in lieu of playing the kids got their wish...

 

[kaiserchief13]

Out - Shuey, McGovern, Cripps, Witherden (not sure what his injury is though assume it's broken ribs or something?), Ryan (if inj)
In - Hewett, H Edwards, Petruccelle, Yeo (if fit, if not then Clark), Culley (if not fit then L Edwards, if not fit then XON)

Sub - Hough

 

[Wooshaaaa]

With Gov gone, how far away is Bazzo?

Surely both Hough & Bazzo in next week.

Outs.

• Shuey (Injury)
• Gov (Injury)
• Witherden (Injury)
• Cripps (Injury)
• Chesser (Possibly won't be fit next week)
• Ryan (Possibly won't be fit next week)

Ins.

• Culley
• H.Edwards
• Bazzo OR Yeo (if ready)
• Petch
• Hough
• West

I don't think Yeo will be available next week. I think Barrass operates best when he's the main interceptor and having H.Edwards and Bazzo with him will make him more decisive in going after the high balls.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: H Edwards, Hewett, Hough, Petruccelle, O'Neill, Clark
Out: McGovern, Shuey, Witherden, Cripps, Ryan, Chesser
Sub: Culley
Emergencies: Bazzo, West, Winder
Ryan & Chesser will probably be touch & go.
TBH this might be too many changes to select players on merit...
Hough & Petruccelle are certainly worthy of selection imo.
If both Cripps & Ryan are out, as a like for a like replacement I wouldn't mind Winder as the other small forward in.
Dunno if it's too early after his indiscretion tho.

 

[woosha24]

Is Yeo good to go? If so straight swap for Shuey in order to provide midfield leadership. Sad that Shoo is hurt yet again, but it's just how it is. Game has gone past what his body can sustain.

Let's be real: Shuey, NN, Yeo and Hurn won't be around when we eventually come good again, so not super bummed that they aren't all out there. This really is the year of "play the kids, build a new style of play". Drill the gameplan into the youngins' heads, give them game day experience, draft well and use this year to build into next.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

In: Bazzo, Hewett, Hough, Petruccelle, O'Neill
Out: McGovern, Shuey, Witherden, Ryan, Cripps
Sub: Culley
Emergencies: H Edwards, Clark, Winder

O'Neill never again

Rubbish. Stop looking for things you want to see and ignore those that don't fit your agenda

I have an opinion, not an agenda.
Jog on.

 

[Keys]

McGovern - H Edwards
Cripps - Petruccelle
Shuey - Yeo
Ryan - Hewett (into the 22)
Witherden - Rotham
Chesser (looked sore) - Hough

Then perhaps you need to revisit your opinion and see whether it has validity
