Prediction Round 6, 2025: Changes vs Essendon

[Astro7]

Can’t picture the young guys at any club coming out publicly to say ‘Nah insert senior player is slacking’. Hardly proves as fact he is inspiring the group right now. Plus I have eyes, so I know he is playing like mud

Grego and Gross said such in their podcast. Wasn't forced.
Your eyes watched him play in Wafl? Must see things different to the coach?
But hey, he might not get called up...

 

[pantskyle]

Possibly he needs both

Make him play wafl anyway.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Allen doesn't need a rest, he needs to wake up.

EFA.

 

[Wce17]

Okay then, guessing at this arvo’s announcement

In: Gov, Kelly, Brockman
Out: Brock, Allen (managed), Davis

Sub: Brockman
Emergencies: Cole, Brock, Davis

Gov for Brock
Kelly back into the middle, Hutch and maybe Gross to spend more time forward
Brockman for Davis as sub, Davis to get a full WAFL game.

Hewett back through the WAFL.

No drastic changes.

I’d go Edwards out before Brock.

In - Gov, Greggo, Kelly
Out - Edwards, Hunt, Allen

Maybe make Dewar Sub & give Davis a full game.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I’d go Edwards out before Brock.

Personally I would too, but I think the match committee will go the other way.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Ahh, the old 'managed' for the senior player horribly out of form instead of 'Omitted' chestnut.


Simpson manoeuvre.

 

[Chris_6678]

Hopefully he goes and plays WAFL next week to "find" his fitness.

 

[Bender_]

Oscar locked in for 16 separate pizza meetings in the next 4 days.

Kind of not listening - you know many examples of young blokes calling out senior players effort? It doesn’t happen. TK is stinking it up right now. Yes hope it changes but hasn’t seemed enough yet shown to bring him straight back in. I think if that happens this week we are only in for more of the same - the guy is half asleep right now

 

[WCErevival]

A 26 year old needing to be rested in round 6? Nah

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Actually Alexia Fish, I couldn’t give a shit if Oscar is left out. In fact it would delight me

 

[squashface]

If this was 10 rounds later I’d be saying he’s got the Barrass treatment.

Out with some soreness/management/obscure injury then never seen again.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Breaking: Oscar out for the same reason TK was dropped - generally moping about and sucking at football

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Allen out is a good thing at the moment. He’s the biggest passenger we have.

 

[Elite Pete]

Ahh, the old 'managed' for the senior player horribly out of form instead of 'Omitted' chestnut.


Simpson manoeuvre.

I thought it might of been a bit to manage his 100th game at home vs Dees in 2 weeks but he wouldve just missed next week to save the travel and the media beat up vs Mitchell and the Hawks.

Watch out if the mids can get the ball inside 50 somehow and JWill and AReid kick 3+ each.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

A 26 year old needing to be rested in round 6? Nah

Its bone Bruising he is playing through at the moment
He is struggling of the mark because of it

 

[flyinghi64]

one last go at it,

Out
Bwilliams, Davis for a full WAFL run, Brock, Hunt

In
Like Flynn, Gov, Sauce, Kelly

Not sure on the Oallen talk but if true then probably the other Brock to come in.

Hough Edwards Ginbey

Reid Gov Maric

Baker Kelly Dewar

Crippa Oallen/Jwilliams Ryan

Owies Waterman Areid

Flynn Graham Gross

Bench, Jwilliams/Brockman, Hutch, Grego, Duggo, Hall

Sub's a tough one that I don't want to pick. First gamers shouldn't be starting sub.

Reid and Baker could easily swap positions, would be interesting to see how Reid would go there.

 

[Keys]

Its bone Bruising he is playing through at the moment
He is struggling of the mark because of it

A rest then would be the best thing for him and likely for more than just one week

Give him a chance to get properly fit and have a mental refresh

We’re also doubling here now that the game preview is up so further discussion can continue there
