Prediction Round 9, 2026: Changes vs Melbourne

[txbyhull]

Hewett fo cripps

 

[ballsohard]

 

[Elite Pete]

Wow….

 

[Smotie2]

Probably our best team for the year not including those not available.

Robertson
Starcevic
Graham

Good ins

 

[Spod]

Probably just an emergency but Hall over Gross seems... interesting. Haven't been watching WAFL but thought Hall had done SFA this year?

Cole and Davis on the extended bench so possibly could still come out which in either case would be fine.

 

[juice568]

How does gross not make the side.

 

[WCErevival]

What was Owies injury? Leather poisoning?

even if he doesn't play, I am happy for Whopper to be getting considered for selection at all. hopefully the move to the forward line really kicks him into gear this year.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Werm named on a flank is certainly something

 

[LewyBroome]

Gross must be black listed for shit mixing Duggan. What an utter eye washed in bleach our team is on paper.

 

[Shuestar13]

Resisting bringing back Cripps and Flynn is good.

Expect Tom and Luca will get their chance soon.

Hopefully Hutch, Allan, Edwards

 

[juice568]

How does gross not make the side.

You would hope the emergencies are williams hall and johnstone

 

[ziad]

Great to see Harry

 

[txbyhull]

I would expect Hall, Whopper and Cole to probably be the E's this week. Maybe Hammer.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Would assume that Lindsay and Davis will play so that leaves three of:

Allan, Hutchinson, Cole, Williams, Hall, Johnston


Suspect that Hutchinson comes back as he was one of the best last weekend and has AFL-level talent. Who knows about the rest. Would prefer that Cole just play in the magoos but if not, please play him as a small defender FFS. Last week he was playing a lot on the wing for reasons that I cannot comprehend.

Schoenberg's demotion is deserved; I had some hopes for him but he's been a bit of a dud. Hopefully he can help the Beagles out in the guts since Macrae is still suspended.

Because he can’t defend, nor bring the ball out of defence with any speed nor accuracy…

 

[NeedForTheReids]

Very surprised gross isn’t named on the extended bench. Good to see lot of young faces amongst the possible ins including the top 3 players from Kyle Horsley’s wafl report in JWill, Hall + Hutch.

Final bench for me would be Lindsay, Allan, Hutchinson, Davis, Cole

Final changes
Ins: Edwards Allan Hutch
Outs: Hewett Owies Schoenberg

 

[Bacchus]

Don’t know how Cole wasn’t omitted. Put in a shocker last week.

Lots of others survive the cut despite sub par performances, some all season.

 

[BeeTee]

Johnston, Cole and Hall to miss

 

[RookiePick]

Tom the victim of poor communication at selection.

Every time they put his name forward Mini says "Gross!?!" and someone takes his magnet off the board.

Would prefer that Cole just play in the magoos but if not, please play him as a small defender FFS. Last week he was playing a lot on the wing for reasons that I cannot comprehend.

They thought they had selected Tom Gross!

 

[chaddy22]

You would hope the emergencies are williams hall and johnstone

Who's Johnstone? New fellow on our list?

 

[THE A5]

What was Owies injury? Leather poisoning?

Heard he drowned from all the clunge he got after that blistering first quarter

I'd add Cole to the outs and give HJ a run.

 

[Convocation]

Was Hall utilised as Tagger last week, Mini maybe has a tagging role for him to play (Won't be Kosi, but could be Steele?)
If his successful in that role or not is the question.....
