Prediction Round 7, 2025: Changes vs Hawthorn

[SAweagle]

Hawks is not a winnable game imo but the two games after are. I wonder if these decisions are factoring that in?

Any game is ****ing winnable mate

 

[ep2018]

Realistically not winnable.

 

[KERRPOW]

Pretty uninspiring in's

Not sure why gross has been dropped

 

[BartBart]

It would be better if they occur in the WAFL.

Glass half full v glass half empty

 

[InTheWings]

 

[FKASC]

Head scratching stuff. Would have been nice to let Gross go back to Melb for a weekend and play in front of his family. Idiots

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Kelly out would also mean more midfield time for Gross.

It's a bizarre selection decision.

 

[Barrybran]

Hopefully someone asks him why Gross was sub last week and omitted this week. The kid absolutely deserves to be in the AFL side.

 

[Barrybran]

Side thought - I wonder if Gross out is a risk mitigation thing with the intention to play Hewett in the middle more

 

[Quinz]

Back to a team with no midfielders

 

[TY24]

Most baffling lineup I’ve seen for sometime

 

[Cuzz09]

Well TK will be back v Melb that is 100%

Hopefully Gross too

 

[BartBart]

Yep (re: Kelly)... as it is a home game.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Just tuned in and what the flying **** Gross doing in the WAFL?

TK out injured and Gross can't stay the team after having a super impressive game and 2min on ground as sub. ****in' wild call.

We worry about Harley but Gross will probably get a sneaky offer from a Vic side in a year or 2 and turn into their 300 game Callan Ward type inspirational leader

 

[Godfather32]

When do we start the McQualter needs to wake up thread

 

[steve hucka]

Mind boggling......

 

[Astro7]

May god help us!

could definitely be just trying to manage him but the melts are funny

 

[Doashuey]

Clearly we are hiding Gross from the sticky fingers of one Samuel Mitchell. Can be no other explaination.

 

[Cuzz09]

Mitchell will 100% be planning to demoralise us.

Reckon he's gonna like to be super stingy and be happy to score less to restrict us to under 50 points.

Something like 107 to 48

 

[LewyBroome]

I hate this club. Explain to me how Noah Long deserves promotion and Gross being dropped.

Only way this would be acceptable is if Hewett and Harley both line up at the first CBA. Send Gross back to the WAFL for a week (where he looks like he was BOG for us) and get him back in against some easier opponents

 

[Cuzz09]

I hate this club. Explain to me how Noah Long deserves promotion and Gross being dropped.

Only reason would be he hasn't played enough blah blah blah.

some weird reason

 

[Hoskin300]

Hopefully it means Harley will be back in the guts more this week.

Midfield rotation of Reid, Hewett, Baker, Graham, Hutchinson I guess?

Genuinely no reason why baker and Graham should be in the midfield rotations over gross.
