Prediction Round 21, 2024 - Changes vs Gold Coast

[Miguel Sanchez]

McGovern for Rotham
Duggan for Trew (inj)
Dewar for Darling
Hall for Edwards (inj)

Culley to be sub again, or switch with Petch.

 

[random260]

Culley out. He doesn't have it. He's too slow and not agile which means defensively he's average and offensively he's trailing his man.

Who takes Trew defensive mid role? Culley was horrific. Edwards was passable.

 

[eaglesfan84]

Out: 1 or 2 qtr efforts

In: 4 qtr efforts

 

[WCErevival]

Petch suspended?

Hutchinson has to go. Can’t find it and wrong decisions when he does.

In Gaff for his fair well game.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hutchinson has to go. Can’t find it and wrong decisions when he does.

Hutch put a real shift in tonight. He stays in for me. Contests hard.

 

[stallon]

Rotham-> Gov if fit(Bazzo if not), for obvious reasons

Trew -> Duggan, Trew is concussed, Duggan shouldnt be anymore

Darling -> Dewar for squad balance and Dewar has been playing well enough

Culley -> Hall or Gaff(farewell game). If its Hall make him sub, if its Gaff then make LEdwards the sub and give Gaff a full game for his last.
Culley is no good. He needs another role in the side, if we didnt have too many KPFs as it was maybe we could sit him forward for stints but he just offers nothing as a mid or a forward that we dont already have.

Id also consider BW -> Flynn. Rough to drop BW after tonight but BW stands no chance against Witts and dont wanna run 2 rucks

Gaffs final game has to be this week or against Carlton in 2 weeks time. May as well do it this week and give the kids another week to press their case for a call up.

Edwards can keep his shitty wing/hff role doing nothing, we have nobody to replace him and its a sacrificial sort of role anyway.

Duggan takes it imo

Contest is great and will be a decent player but the leap is too far from where he has come from. If we ain’t doing the sentimental stuff, in Johnston (why he just has a week off I’ll never know)

 

[WCErevival]

Yeah I feel Hutch needs a preseason to learn running patterns etc. His effort is good but I'm not sure what he is atm.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Worth noting that Hall played exclusively on the wing in the WAFL today. Being prepped for the gimp wing debut?

 

[Cuzz09]

In:

Gaff and Sheed for farewell games

It would help him a lot if everytime he was free in a good position the delivery too him wasn’t trash. Seems to get burnt a lot like that so far.

 

[Cursedsword02]

OUT: Rotham, Darling, Trew, L. Edwards
IN: Gov, Dewar, Hall, Gaff (Farewell game)

Hall to sub

We lack players ready for AFL in the WAFL. We cant do too many changes

 

[Rids]

Rotham -> McGovern
Trew -> Duggan
Darling -> Dewar
L.Edwards -> Gaff
Hutchinson -> Sheed
B.Williams -> Flynn

Sheed or Culley to sub.

Oh and if Petch is out suspended can give Hall a game although that feels like too many mids.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Out:
Rotham - might as well have played a witches hat in his stead.
Darling - He's past it, we don't need him to protect the yoof anymore.
Culley - He's not a midfielder. If we want him to make it, he needs to play as a half forward.

In:
Duggan
Gov
??

 

[Carbine Chaos]

As our last realistically winnable home game this season, we should probably use it to farewell Gaff, Sheed and Darling.

 

[Mulldogg]

Trew with a neck injury not concussion. Not necessarily likely to be out next week?

 

[dajesmac]

McGovern -> Rotham
Duggan -> Trew
Dewar -> Darling

If Luke Edwards is injured (confirmed?) I'd bring in Chesser due to lack of quality alternatives.

If we insist on bring in Flynn, bring him in for Darling and replace Culley with Dewar.

 

[stallon]

Trew with a neck injury not concussion. Not necessarily likely to be out next week?

Youre right. Id keep him in if hes good to go then. Drop LEdwards instead

 

[twce13]

Hutch put a real shift in tonight. He stays in for me. Contests hard.

yeah he growing on me.
i think with a solid pre-season he could be a player.

 

[mat11]

Gov-Rotham
Dewar-Darling
Gaff- ledwards
Duggan-trew
Culley- hall

Hall as sub. Give gaff his farewell game. If petch is suspended than HJ

 

[twce13]

Contest is great and will be a decent player but the leap is too far from where he has come from. If we ain’t doing the sentimental stuff, in Johnston (why he just has a week off I’ll never know)

thing is why not continue to expose him, will only benefit him moving into 2025.
play the kids.

rotham, darling, cripps, petreculle. take out a combo of these. get gov in, dewar and any why not lets see what hall or burgiel can offer.

also officially worried about culley. im all for playing the kids, but his ceiling as a wafl player is looking more obvious. afl seems just a bit too quick for him.
