Prediction Round 15, 2024: Changes vs Essendon

[stallon]

Hall in for Sheed?
Maybe Chesser to get a run on-ball with Hunt + Gaff on the wings?
Maybe Liam Ryan to play midfield like he did for a bit the other week?

Only Ginbey, Culley and Yeo as the recognised on-ballers from our last game, and no Kelly or Reid still. Hunt the only midfielder due back from injury. Gaff will almost certainly hold his spot too.
Our midfield will be interesting this week.

Im very happy with either Hall getting a debut or Chesser getting a run on-ball, as long as we dont just throw Petch in there or something. Dont really want Trew or L.Edwards back, I think one of them comes in though

 

[wirra44]

Thank god no Sheed for a week, hopefully that means Culley keeps his spot.

 

[Grahame]

Dam sheed will be sorely missed.

May lose this one and miss the finals now.

Wouldn't mind seeing brockman or burgiel getting a crack on the wing and chesser getting the inside mid minutes

Nah, Sheeds downfall has been predominantly due to his shit attitude. I love what he did in 2018 but every time I watch him play I lose more respect for him.
I for one wont be at all disappointed if we dont see him play AFL for WCE again. Maybe harsh but Im done watching him refuse to chase, tackle or try to undertake any team orientated action.

How did Sheed do a hamstring?

More fool me. I always associated hamstrings with an explosion of pace.

Footnote - I never did a hamstring

odd tweet, you can still point with a hamstring injury so don't understand why this would rule him out

he was dropped in 2018 too

 

[ArdentEagle]

It'll be Petch going more midfield this week along with Ryan.
They'll probably go pretty well then get moved when Shred comes back.

You mean to tell us he hasn't been playing with a bung hamstring all this time? Far out, could've fooled me.

 

[Schtinker]

or just stand 5 metres away from the player with the ball and clap.

 

[woosha24]

So Kelly has effectively missed 3 weeks with a sore hip. What's the go here? Bone bruising? Some muscle issue?

He's got a ****ed foot, which means he can't run like he used to.


Which also means he should probably retire, or be happy playing WAFL to see out his contract.

Oscars likely return will make for some interesting decisions around the forward line structure.

Waterman, Darling, Oscar, Maric, BBW all make a tall collection. Who goes?

It's Maric or Darling. But likely Maric unless Oscar seconds ruck.

There is a scenario where Maric and Darling and Oscar stays but that assumes Maric is HBF/Wing. Which is likely given Maric shift in training to wing

 

[Natho]

Has Gaff done a hammy aswell?

 

[06Premiers]

FB: Hough, Barrass, Witherden
HB: Cole, McGovern, Duggan
C: Chesser, Culley, Hunt
HF: Petruccelle, Allen, Cripps
FF: Ryan, Waterman, Darling
R: Flynn, Yeo, Ginbey
I: Brockman, Trew, HEdwards, BWilliams, Maric*
E: Hall, Burgiel, Rotham, Hutchinson

Allen for Hutchinson, Hunt for Sheed seem pretty straightforward changes.
Trew for Gaff, Brockman for Jones neither here nor there as I think both would be out the following week for Kelly & Reid anyway (or maybe one of the talls drops out?).
Feels like Darling, BWilliams, Maric are playing for 2 spots.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Allen, Hunt, Brockman
Out: Hutchinson, Sheed, Gaff

Maric to be trialled on the wing maybe.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Allen
Hunt

For

Hutchinson
Sheed

Maric could go out for a debutant - we’ll probably find that out tomorrow but I kinda doubt it.

I’d leave it at that with Kelly and Reid to return - hopefully both next week - Gaff, Jones, Maric and possibly Williams on the chopping block.

 

[Cuzz09]

he was dropped in 2018 too

yeah I meant high 20 possessions and seemed to hit the scoreboard a fair bit

[stallon]

Hopefully we keep it minimal with Sheed and Hutch the only notable outs for Allen and Hunt, maybe Brockman in for Petch/JJ too. One of Brockman/Petch/JJ to be sub id guess.
If Maric is sent back to the WAFL to learn a new role off the wing or HB id be happy with that, as everybody has noticed by now hes got a nice kick on him. If he goes well then he probably is fighting Witho for a spot, itll be interesting to see where he plays long term.
I dont expect Hall to get a game, and I dont expect Gaff to be dropped either.
Yeo, Ginbey, Culley our likely main mids, with chop outs from the usual extras we see, I think Chesser or Ryan would complement those 3 nicely.
They probably run with Allen, Waterman, Darling and BW all in the same forward line for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Id like HEdwards to start getting bigger jobs on oppo KPFs, if its not working we can always put TB back onto them, or get Gov to help him out more. Give Harry Peter Wright this week imo

FB: Hough Barrass Cole

People also acting like LeCras or Kennedy ever came back from injury through the WAFL.

I think Kennedy came back through WAFL in 2012.
