Prediction Round Four Changes vs. Adelaide

[theGav56]

The number of changes posters want shows we are clearly struggling....

 

[poshman]

Worner out for Walker would be good from a pace perspective.

Switta will get an extended run. Good to have small forwards who we think could add something at league level.

Simpson and Sweid will be interesting to track when Peel start up. Murray and Kickett look like genuine forwards as well. What is this…. Depth?!

The only other possibles would be Ras and McVee. That collision looked nasty and both could be quite sore. Hopefully all good though!

 

[poshman]

Simpson is a watch for the back half not as a forward. Speed and creative kicking could be game changing for us.

I watched McVee to see what everyone was talking about, and thought he had a pretty handy game. Composed, good disposals, didn't do a lot a wrong as far as I could tell.

I'd be dropping Worner, who needs to work on his disposal skills and composure. I appreciate his guts, but he's not quite there yet. Bring in Walker IMO.

it takes a while for a player to settle into his new club and I'm liking McVee

I doubt Freo will make any changes, unless someone is injured or sore

Can't wait to see Young back!!

 

[malpaso]

Worner is too indecisive and slow with the ball, we are susceptible to a small forward or two ripping us apart. I think he is best 27.
Walker is a better option in there for balance and adds to our speed.

5 games because people are choosing to ignore preseason games which he wasn’t great in either.

And the only reason I mention it is because people keep saying he needs to gel in the team… no he doesn’t. He’s had enough games.

Again, if his name was Bailey Banfield, you all would have wanted him dropped in round one.

We both know this to be true.

We want Banfield dropped because his ceiling is just not very good, this factually not the case for McVee as he's a young player getting used to the team (and has a much higher ceiling).

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Worner to stay, toughest and bravest defender we have, plays like he's the 23rd pick every week

Chappy is having a worse start to the season - for a top 15 pick, Pickforks should be coming for him

 

[pK75]

Chappy has had an ordinary start to the season, but watch this weeks replay again and see the I50s delivered perfectly for the leading forward, Worner doesn’t bring that to the table.

If Young moves down back I would love to trial Clark attending few centre rotations. A lot of similarities to Holmes.

he had a few to end the year last season and looked good there imo

 

[Stevooo3940]

I wonder if Worrell goes to Treacy for a colossal match up, or if they send Butts to him and Worrell tries to work off Amiss or Voss to impact. This could shape the game!

He is fast, tough and defensively accountable. You never know it might make our midfield more formidable.

Butts could struggle if he is selected. I can't believe he was allowed back on the ground after copping a big headbutt and being clearly dazed. Looked like a concussion to me. I don't care what the cognitive tests say, I don't think they are foolproof.

You're right IMO. All tests need clinical correlation and a bloke who's been headbutted and then dazed has taken a decent hit that's affected his brain.

O'Meara was great today, was an upgrade on Noddy on the wing, he has more than earnt his spot. Go in unchanged.

Don't wanna see any outs after today involving JOM, Darcy or McVee, they all deserve to keep their spot.

I thought he played equally to Nod, if slightly differently. We only broke even on the swap, at best.

We gotta have someone do the all important job of crashing packs!

Worner had one brain fade in the first quarter when he took on too much, but from then on he was good.
McVee looked pretty good on Saturday I thought.Maybe getting used tot he style we play.
But I don't see anyone going out.

You are right. Worner is the one giving it to Chappy.

I’m really big on Young returning to half back, at least initially.

What Bolton adds as a third genuine mid is creativity and different type of player to the workmanlike Serong and Brayshaw. Reid the same if he goes in there. Johnson and Erasmus also spending a bit more time through the middle which is good.

I think Young, at least to start with, being eased back in with a role off half back is wise, as his body has been letting him down a bit.

Agree eventually he is our best midfielder, but we’ve found something that works with him out, and I’d be quite happy to roll with it for a while and just allow Young to be damaging off half back alongside Clark.

I agree with you but JLo seems to prefer Young at half forward when not on ball.

I think that's the role we'll see him in when he comes back with the odd stint on ball.
