Prediction Changes and pre match discussion vs Brisbane Lions R23.

[Trav22]

Come on boys we all know the final result for this short sighted club.

In typical Wce fashion we will go full steam ahead and win on Saturday to finish between 7th-9th only to make up the numbers and get belted by a Bris/ Syd first week of finals and miss out on a crucial top ten pick. (An opportunity he haven’t had in a number of years)

But riding the “fairytale” and making up the numbers in the first week of finals is much more important!!!

I for one would be giving guys like Johnson/ Jamison a run too see what they’ve got before they get delisted. If that comes at the expensive of guys like Fat boy McGovern and can’t take a mark Darling so be it!!
Not like form doesn’t warrant their omission, so I would barely call it tanking!!

 

[JEagle]

Our players are either really dumb, or not being allowed to play on instinct. It is likely the latter. Simpson needs to just take the leash off and tell them to attack at all costs.

 

[mick06]

Other way around yeh?

if port win 4th is still alive and they will want to tear us a new one

If dogs win they get 5th or 6th so will likely rest any sore bodies. not that playing against us is going to be a tough hit out, maybe a few red marks from arm slaps

At least Brisbane will know if they can make top 4 or not, with Dogs Port being the Friday night game. If Port win, we can all hope for some mass late changes

I don't think letting Jack Darling play on instinct is good for anyone.

 

[Trebor57]

That's over rating our season. That train actually had momentum.

 

[ep2018]

Freo are playing the saints in Hobart to avoid another two week stint of quarantine. We on the other hand will have to quarantine for two weeks on return from a dead rubber in QLD. Don't be surprised if we send a B team. We'll spread our cheeks, just hope Brissie bring the lube.

 

[THE A5]

Struggling to get up for it and actually give a sh*t tbh.

Same mindset as the players bar NN for the second half of the season.

happy it's a saturday game cause I don't have to wait till sunday to finally see the back of this painful season.

 

[KERRPOW]

Might hit the gym again during the game

 

[Ishmael_]

What a nostalgia trip having E87 back.

And it’s just great that he’s calling for Sheed’s head ~7 years later after 45 thousand deranged posts calling for for Priddis’ head because he was holding back Sheed/our midfield’s development.

It really is all a big simulation.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Sheed's leg speed and outside defensive pressure is Priddis like.

Wish Sheed had Priddis's clamp like tackle strength

How about that Indian Tail?

 

[Ishmael_]

How about that Indian Tail?

I'll have you know, I did the research to get this meme - I'm still not sure if I really do, but I put the effort in and will now repeat it incessantly.

 

[Spange]

Last round a good chance to dish up a few upsets. I reckon we stumble into the finals with one pies or blues getting up.

Alternatively Brisbane could slam on 9 goals to zip in a quarter and out team folds like a deck chair

No chance of Hurn playing this week. Could be back for the granny

According to the AFL website 'In the Mix' segment...
' Jamaine Jones and Jarrod Brander are available but were quiet in the WAFL.'

That would be the other Jarrod Brander

. The one that played in the WAFL had the third most disposals (27), the most i50's (4) and was named as best Beagle afield.

So stick him in the shop window one more time before he requests his trade?

[Chris_6678]

Out: Vardy, Kelly, Sheed, Petch
In: Brander, West, Willie, Jones

Cole Barrass Shep
Witho Gov Foley

Brander West Gaff

Ryan JK Willie

Ruck: Nic Nat, Shuey, Yeo

Bench: Redden, Allen, Jones, Nelson

Geez can you imagine how much better he’d be?

Wasn't as good as the subi guy

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Changes after the fairly sobering SJOGHCIU report.

Out: Kelly (knee), Kennedy (finger), McGovern (hip), Sheppard (concussion), Vardy

In: Rioli, Brander, Hedwards, Rotham, Williams

Backs: Hedwards, Barrass, Rotham, Witherden, Cole, Nelson, Foley

Mids/rucks: Yeo, Shuey, Redden, Sheed, Gaff, Brander, NicNat, Williams

Forwards: Allen, Darling, Ryan, Rioli, Cripps, Petruccelle, Ledwards (job-sharing with the mids)

Sub: Langdon
Emergencies: Ainsworth (carrying the bags), Waterman, Vardy (WAFL).

Don’t risk anyone under a cloud.

Williams straight swap for Vardy, don’t want to put Allen in the ruck. Go smaller in the forward line with Rioli effectively replacing Kennedy.

Rotham and Hedwards straight swap for Shep and Gov in defence.

Brander in for Kelly, Edwards and Redden to play more inside in Kelly’s absence. Or Brander to play inside.

 

[WCErevival]

If Brander doesn't get selected, he is gone

Another miraculous win coming our way now that several "stars" are missing through injury and we will be fielding several youngsters.
A brave win against all odds that will see us just fall short of 8th place at the end of the season.

Nah let's have results fall our way, make the 8 and then get bundled out week 1 with an anemic performance from the a-liners that get picked for the final..
