Prediction Round 4, 2025: Changes vs GWS

[CursoryMercenary]

This one could get real ugly, if they are completely switched on (unlike Brisbane).

 

[mick06]

Oscar sucks balls as a defenders why is everyone sending him back? He has shown nothing up front, no energy, no intensity, no heart, so why would we want him down back leaking goals and trailing in?
Give him a rocket, one more game, then he should be out.
Same with Reid tbf. He's not playing a team game , not buying in, needs a wake up call.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Rolls Royce team of high draft pick mids against our absolute spud factory on ball brigade who half the time look like they don't even wanna play?

Yes, it could certainly get ugly.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

aaaand Long has offered nothing, needs to find some touch in the WAFL - this could have easily been his fellow ‘Small Forward who doesn’t kick goals or win the ball’ Guy in Brockman, but at least Tyler snagged a goal.

Brockman has three goals in the last two weeks, only Ryan has kicked more than him this year.

 

[stallon]

FB: Hough Edwards Allan
HB: Ginbey Brock Maric
C: Dewar Hall Duggan
HF: Kelly Allen Cripps
FF: Ryan Waterman Brockman
R: BWilliams Hewett Baker
Int: A.Reid Reid Cole Graham
Sub: Hunt

Gov-> Brock
Owies-> Allan
Long-> Hall
JWilliams-> Waterman

JWilliams unlucky, but need space for Waterman. Allen isnt being dropped lol. If Waterman is still no good then JWilliams stays.
Backline stays the same
Midfield is essentially Kelly out Hall in
Hunt off the wing to let Allan in, Duggan takes Hunts wing. Allan to play defensive on one of the GWS smalls, I think Duggan is a bit slow for the GWS forward line, wont have that issue with Allan.
I dont want Duggan on the wing necessarily, I just want Allan in the side.
Brock replacing Gov obviously.
Ginbey to take that 3rd tall, probably Cadman tbh.

Hunt is some run to come on late.

 

[rebel23]

Out... Edwards, Gov, Graham, Long, Kelly, either Williams

Ins... Brock, Barnett, Gross, Hall, Allan, Johnston.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Intentional, medium impact, body is a week I think.

If they say it floored Serong for long enough I reckon Graham will get a week.

Oh no, what will we do without Jack Graham. Was shithouse today. Hall is an upgrade anyway and apparently can’t be played in the same side as him. I say give him 4 weeks for that!

 

[The Gtrain]

In: anyone with effective skills. So many times a handball was behind, at the feet or over a running player made any style of play impossible, especially our so called run and gun.

Our basics are not at an AFL level.

Oscar was less than hopeless up forward. He filled a hole down back - I wondered if it was in part coaching to teach him how forwards lead - he is immobile and disgusting as a leader.
Also wondered if Harley down back was to show a fat slow high forward how much he needs to improve by playing an a normal half forward. Had to laugh at people posting why we don't have a player blocking for him. He is too slow to get to the ball asa mid. Fat but also mentally gone since his break last year.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Difficult to see where our first wins going to come from

 

[Westend]

Rolls Royce team of high draft pick mids against our absolute spud factory on ball brigade who half the time look like they don't even wanna play?

Yeah probably

perhaps the only thing to look forward to is hough nullifying green ...as hough has been doing this year and last year to small forwards ..

hopefully put him in line for AA honours as a lock down small defender come the end of the year

 

[ghostbat12]

Cole for Allan. You know you are in trouble when Cole starts getting it (opposition is so dominant that his opponent is cheating at a very high level).

Gross for hewett. Unfortunately. Should be placed in same category as long, coming back from 12 months off footy.

Long for hall. Simply ineffective coming back from knee.

Brock for Gov.

That’s probably as many changes as one came make given potential 100+ point losses over next two games (fully expect us to get Carlton back on winning track again).

 

[Priddis Is Done]

In pick 3

Out vanilla custard

 

[Cuzz09]

Intentional, medium impact, body is a week I think.

If they say it floored Serong for long enough I reckon Graham will get a week.

If it gets Hall back in the side I hope he gets a week lol

sad times.

Also I chucked this out.last week but why not let Harley kick out? perhaps alternate between he and Maric?

Give Harley free reign to run HB to the wing get some free footy for a bit

Get Gross, Hall in the guts every now n then

I'll grant that he's the exception that proves the rule, but you can't build a premiership team around players with questionable skills and decision making.

He is a career home and away season player, a professional athlete, a good club man, an honest battler, a red herring.Whatever you want to call it.

Sure sometimes he plays with a lot of heart and sometimes he's a net positive despite his mistakes. But skill errors and brain fades will always be a part of his game, we've seen that now over the 100 plus games he's played.

He's always going to be costly, and when it actually matters [ie when we're a team who isn't contending for second last] that stuff actually matters. Our team is full of player like this, and people who defend them.

Having Cole in our best 22 for the remainder of his career does nothing except stop us from finding a small defender who can do all the things Cole does well, PLUS not make several inexplicably poor things per game and leak goals like nobodies business.

You know he's played in a premiership right?

Honestly can’t tell if this is a troll post or not.

“Hewitt”
“Brochman”
“Owes”

Honestly, grab an AFL Record when you’re out and about next and check the squad list for names.
