Prediction Changes Rd 23 vs Geelong

[Ambrose Burnside]

So we can swing some late changes, catch Geelong off-guard and get our season back on track!

Winder: 3 votes

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Clark late inclusion, Winder to sub, ex-Geelong Falcons and likely delistees Nelson and Witherden being given a lift home?

This.

We're flying over 25, but bringing back 24.
Nelson + Witherden for Narkle.

Nah they play pretty well in Tassie.

That’s coz it’s so cold it reminds them of their club showers..

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Well when you have Jamieson, Clark, witherden, Winder, Williams, Naish as pretty much the only depth sitting in the WAFL on a consistant basis it doesn't give you much options.
The only ones on that list that would even suit as a replacement would be Naish and Maybe Winder (in the last 2 games) and neither were setting the world on fire.

Edit: Not saying and Injured Gaff is GOOD. Just not leaving a lot of options for anything else.

Well I’d say most of those guys at least kick the ball forwards instead of sideways snd backwards every time.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

He is a midfielder. The club had tried to shoe-horn him into a forward pocket and it hasn't worked.

West coast and playing players in positions they werent drafted in and then delisting them when it doesn’t work - name a better duo.

Is it the recruitment team's fault for not drafting what is needed, the coaching team's fault for playing them out of position, or the player's fault for being shite?

Coaching team mainly. You have to be good at one position at least to be getting drafted. You’d think the club that drafted them would then play them in that position, especially our club who’s coach has been quoted as saying it doesn’t work playing guys out of position, and you need to draft players who play that position to be successful.

 

[Keys]

Why are we hearing this via the media and not from the club

Imo it’s a misalignment between the recruiters and coaches which I have suspected for some time now (completely unfounded assumption but why not)

Out of respect for his culture, BT will henceforth call Junior Rioli, LLllllllliam Ryyyyyyyyan for the next 12 months. Maybe longer.

Any other Eagles fans in Vic going to the game? I know its gonma get ugly but it's included in my Vic membership so may as well check out the stadium..

 

[wirra44]

Stupid Victorian pundits with next to zero support on here for such a move. The move would have been looked at very very differently had that been the price.

It was a worthwhile risk to take with such an irrelevant pick and stocks in his age range where they are.

Suppose will just have to wait and see if it ends up being an irrelevant pick, I’ll be very happy if SPS proves all us haters wrong can’t see it happening tho

Masochist.

 

[donpyke92]

What’s annoying me is it’s clear that Winder’s papers are stamped. Whatever, I guess.

But he’s only just been thrown into the midfield at WAFL level and has done quite well. Why wasn’t this done a year ago, given the state of the Beagles? Why not throw him the last couple of rounds over the apparently injured Gaff?

On the surface it does seem like a nitpicking complaint, and perhaps it is, but it just rubs me the wrong way. In a year where we’ve embarrassed ourselves we’re all searching madly for as many silver linings as we can.

You got it CC.
If the lad needed a bit of a realization of what being an AFL player is, fine with that. Dad doing socials not helpful, but whatever.
If someone like Geelong pick him up & he carves us up in the midfield I wouldn't be surprised....just very disappointed

It’s sandwich eating day

Game Day - Round 23 vs. Geelong @ dkalphabet stadium - So You're Telling Me There's A Chance?

Things seem bleak, friends. But hear me out. Not all is lost! According to the predictor above, we are a 1% chance of avoiding a loss here. Or a 74 point loss at least - I'm no Mr. Squiggle, or anything. But I think if we delve a little deeper into the likely factors at play, things seem a...
