Prediction Round 8, 2024: Changes vs Essendon

[Get_The_Gaff]

Shows what a total waste it was to play Sheed last week and not Johnston.

Yep, playing in front of 50k+ fans at your home ground vs Essendon, or flying your parents up to play in front of 8k at Metricon.

I know what I'd be choosing...

Midfield back to looking dynamic again. Hoping to see some of that Johnston swerveability.

Who is gonna clip up that back page of the West and change it back to Harvey Fresh with a picture of HJs jubilant face on it?

Because I, along with millions of other West Aussies, refuse to read the west, I actually wondered if they’d got one right.

Saw the back page in a group chat and thought it could have been about the debut? Stopped clocks and all that.

 

[Grahame]

I came here to say pretty much this, the changes this season have been very reassuring

Begs the question if Nisbett had any influence

Regardless, can say Pyke has made a big difference. Bringing in the old players, resurrecting the banner/song (big for some apparently), flying the three teams to Gold Coast, starting a league-wide initiative re domestic violence … and who knows what else.

I think dual flags with us, senior coach at another club, business success, assistant at a third club - and now he’s home and at the helm.

Agreed. For the first time in a long time I feel genuine confidence in the business/operational side of the club

Didnt rip up MRO and change the song in his first month at the helm.

I wonder if it is at the expense of Chess

Sounds harsh, but I hope so.

Some kind of knee injury, nothing specific.

Been playing through it the past couple of weeks, according to the WCE website.

Looked it too I reckon, been off the last few weeks. No burst

What.....no draper!!!

He’s having a mullet measuring comp with Bailey Smith at Bevo’s place on Saturday night. Can’t make it.

Team was announced about 5 hours ago and not one complaint about Gaff being named as an emergency

This board is healing

There we go. (will cross post into his welcome thread so it doesn't get lost).

Harvey seems to be popular amongst the group, said to be upbeat and cheerful like Reid.
Hope to see something a little more dynamic in traffic than Brockman, Ledwards or Chesser?

 

[WCEforeverman]

Didn't we great a greap pick out of bond to Port and we traded someone else with him? Sekora? No idea

Braden Lyle and Ian Downsborough wasn’t it?

 

[WA footy mad]

No complaint about Gaff getting the Emergency role for our WAFL team. He needs a chance to prove himself at WAFL level.

HJ's starting as sub from Simmos Presser.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Well...there goes all the excitement sucked out of the room. Another wasted debut due to being a sub.

 

[Keys]

Johnston as sub makes sense given he’s a first year player and is still pretty slightly built

Arguably should’ve been sub last week instead of Sheed

 

[Keys]

After fielding an older side last week the return of Reid and Long plus the selection of Johnston has us back to a younger selection with 8 players who were 20 or younger at the start of the season

Age @1/1:	20 & Under	21-24	25-28	29 & Over
List	19	8	11	6
R1	5*	6	6	6
R2	7*	5	6	5
R3	7	5*	6	5
R4	8*	4	6	5
R5	7*	4	7	5
R6	7	3	8*	5
R7	5	5	8*	5
R8	8*	3	7	5

* Denotes the sub
