Prediction Rd 8 Changes v Tigs Away

[E Shed]

I reckon it’s just Amiss for Voss with Simpson sub.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

The guys shouldnt take them lightly but the game should be decided by this alone:

Nankervis, Baker, Pickett, Dow, McAullife, Ryan

Vs

Darcy, Fyfe, Serong, Brayshaw, Young, Jackson

 

[yakamoto]

Assuming that Draper comes through on Sunday with no hammy issues a game so early in his career will be great for his further development and experience.

 

[JammoMonty]

Simpson to stay which is good news!

Hopefully starts on rather than the sub

 

[JammoMonty]

Why is Hughes anywhere near the team sheet….

I’d say he’s the cover for Draper

 

[JammoMonty]

Reading the tea leaves (the extended bench) it looks like just the one change, Amiss for Voss.

Why not both?

If we don't win the clearance count by at least a 2:1 ratio, I'd say they'd underperformed.

Got that Freo nervousness though...

It was said yesterday that Switta had a couple of boxes to tick today before selection. Maybe he put crosses in one or both of the boxes.

 

[Taylor]

Why not both?

Treacy, Jackson, Voss, Amiss up front?

I think Richmond are already going to try and run us off our feet but until I've seen more of Voss taking contested marks instead of just getting his arms up to the ball or him covering a lot of ground, I wouldn't want to railroad our style that much just yet.

The melts for Hughes are weird. Draper was named on the field. He’ll play. The emergency will miss WAFL. Much better that being Hughes than Davies or Worner. The only change will be Amiss for Voss.

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Hughes the Draper cover is... frustrating, way too close best 22 for my liking when we have Worner and Davies playing well at Peel.

I stand by giving Cooper a full run and Walters having a break, it's not exactly odd to manage 32 year olds anyway.

I hope Ras is not on that plane, he needs a month run at Peel with no interruptions where he can work on composure and moving the ball forward

You'd assume it'd be 1 of Hughes or Voss emergency, depending on which of Draper or Amiss we think is most likely to have a late setback.

Hughes instead of Davies might show they see the gap btwn Draper and Davies as considerable despite the media talk and the 2 year extension. But maybe their thinking is also that Davies (EDIT) needs the WAFL experience more than Hughes, and say if Draper is a 90% chance to go on and play the Richmond game (hypothetical figure), you'd rather Dixon get the WAFL game than travel with the false hope of an AFL game.

Hughes is probably a better travelling emergency if they expect Draper to play tbh.

He can play another role in defence if there’s an unexpected injury in the warm up or someone gets ill etc.

With Davies he’s pretty much a KPD or nothing.

100% . Keeping in mind that he was in the starting 22 Round 1 this year, when we had both Cox and Omac in the team - I think it shows how far we've come if he's on the peripheral / can barely crack a game at this point.

Dixon

 

[anchor man]

So what did JLo say about Switta when discussing injuries? I can't even remember what his injury was to begin with.

Concussion

From what I’ve seen in the WAFL and last week, Voss is not a great contested mark. Plays more like a medium forward

Part of me wonders if Switta simply didnt get picked to be honest and they REALLY like Simpson. If everyone fit, will be interesting choice who goes to sub out of I assume Walters, Switta, JOM and Johnson

Nah, he'd be an emergency you'd think if that was the case.

 

[mattis117]

Graham a good unexpected out for us

Richmond fans would disagree I think...

Rozee subbed is a cautionary tale for Draper

Should have brought in Davies

Conveniently leaving out Dusty and Bolton there


They will run through the middle too

Not as first choice, those names run through first. Dusty also sits in the forwardline these days, hardly gets out of 2nd gear

Georgiadis hurt his knee. Hope it is not an ACL. Wrapped in glad wrap. Why?

Marshall rolled ankle

[rubydoomsday]

starting to feel like this is a 'must win' with their considerable outs.

not that it's important but we'll never f hear the end of it from the VFL media if we lose. "Full strength Freo rolls over to injury-hit Tiges etc"

certainly don't want to underestimate them, but they're very gettable rn.

huge opportunity we have to take.
