Game Day Round 9 vs. WCE, Marvel, 1:00pm Sun 12/05

[sr36]

They declared Bytel as cap # 1188... And nothing for Richards.

There's something in that I reckon.

Richards sub.

Bytel was probably a definite already and Elliott out created the debut for Richards. They'll need a while to calculate what number cap Richards is...

Who would have thought not recruiting a young tall forward in the past decade would bite us in the bum, wow who knew?

 

[memoryofmchale]

Yes, but Kinder has said Begg is named as emergency whilst giving a swipe to Ash.

It says so on the AFL app. You can check this out for yourself.

How’s it a swipe to raise an observation?

Ah yes, he has been replaced by from Jamie.

 

[HFF]

Fin not sub…this is his chance to really showcase.
Sullivan will come into the 22 as well you’d think.

One of Richards or Bytel to be sub.
Hopefully Richards plays from the start

Begg named over Johnson as an emergency says how much Ash has fallen.

No it doesn’t, Ash is being trained up as a defender to replace Howie when he retires. He’s actually doing well. He is my favourite player but I did think he was done but he’s looking very promising as a high marking intercept defender. His ground ball game needs work but there’s definitely promise there. It’s not unusual for clubs to do this and it often revives a career. Presti came to us as a full forward and was not very good at AFL level but was a great defender.

Begg if needed won’t do much but him as an emergency is understandable.

Ash will likely be playing as a forward this weekend.

Him in defence was to see what it could do. There’s nothing special about AJ. I’m sorry a few X factor moments from a final in 2022 is nothing.

Fin has shown more this year, even at AFL level.

We haven’t lost yet but yeah not ideal.

Lucky we picked up Sam McLarty then. We’ll just swing him forward!

Actually would like t see Begg trained up as either defender or forward... he is quite hletic and has the height, will never be a ruck IMHO (Leave that to Steene)

 

[magpie_marty]

Howe into the forward line if Elliott is out.

 

[No SPIN]

Who would have thought Mcstay, Krueger injuries and AJ's lack of form would all have happened at the same time.

 

[Jen2310]

Howe into the forward line if Elliott is out.

He will be playing forward
and its not if elliott is out. He has been ruled out

 

[memoryofmchale]

He will be playing forward

Confirmed by Fly and his omission from the squad.

 

[KrispyKremePie]

Bytel to debut.

Is Joe Richards playing too?

Edit: just saw other posts. Should have just kept on reading…

My prediction: Joe Richards to kick 5 goals!

 

[Jen2310]

Is Joe Richards playing too?

yes.

Nathan Williamson named as 24th man for the Eagles

 

[Jen2310]

Who?

Umpire lol

 

[Cory]

Frampton forward instead of Howe?

 

[thommo_legend]

Bytel or Richards sub?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

From the main board game preview thread (North supporter)
West coast will be cursing losing Yeo and Waterman.

Both of them play and they are right in this.

Collingwood has next to no depth which will be highlighted over the next couple of weeks, but no Yeo and Waterman will prove too much for the eagles.

Collingwood by 13

I wouldn't say no depth if that depth hasn't played much.

As soon as you said North supporter, it disqualified that person from having any clue talking about football, let alone depth.

 

[Bianconeri]

Bytel or Richards sub?

My guess is Bytel will start on the wing and Sidebottom forward, Richards Sub.
