Prediction Changes: Round 22 Vs West Coast + pre-match discussion (DERBY TIME)

[FreoRicci]

Really hard to see who goes out for Switta, who's an automatic as one of our most important players. Can't be a direct swap with Tabs. Would be ideal if Fyfe got up a week early to play Tab's role.

I just can't see it being Walters out. I just dunno, our match selection committee has an impossible choice coming up with fitting Switta back in.

Henry out, Tucker goes medi sub. Switta in
Tabs out, Treacy in.
Meek has to come in. The three in Logue Lobb and Tabs makes match ups unpredictable for defences. Treacy can come in even.

 

[FreoRicci]

He did and it's hard to argue he's not doing his job, though I do think he's been struggling the last few weeks. Again, didn't get much of it today but looked better because the forward line functioned better. Helps when there's more pressure from our small forwards like today. His spot is safe.

Can’t drop someone who has kicked 3 tonight and 2 last week. Goals are more valuable.

Watching bloodnut Richards run away from him bouncing the ball was sad and it’s happening a lot now

Speed is about the only thing we have as a clear weapon against the bigger stronger finals teams , I think we have to pick the fastest 22 for the rest of the year and hope we get some dry tracks in the finals

 

[DMan 11]

The Meek talk is understandable but I don’t think it will happen.
Logue won more hit-outs than his second ruck opponent today, and has more versatility which is required.

Switta to play at Peel.

So the only change:
Treacy in for Tabs (inj)

I thought he was a bit lucky to get 2, this week he was better.

I still think Schultz and Walters contribute more during general play than Frederick, but it is not an easy call.

 

[s_wd6]

I'd give Lobb and Mundy a rest, and Tabs injured
Wilson, Meek and Sturt in

Rest mundy for his farewell game?

 

[s_wd6]

Out: Tabs
In: Sturt

Edit: If Switta is fit, then

Switta in
Frederick out.


Leaves us a bit short, but I think this is the best option.

Bloke kicked 3 goals and you wanna drop him...

 

[Square Peg]

Rest mundy for his farewell game?

Unless you think we're dipping to 7th from here his last home game will be a final

I believe he does not do enough with out the ball, not just this week but the last 5-6 weeks.

I prefer Schultz and Walters in the side.

Yeah but this is still his farewell game in terms of tribute to mundy chair off etc etc

There's zero chance he's getting chaired off if he plays next week

 

[Scham]

Tabs and Henry out.

Banfield and Johnson in.

 

[King Tenz]

Treacy/Switta in.
Tabs/Henry out.

Pretty simple I would've thought.

 

[s_wd6]

There's also zero chance he's getting rested next week.

 

[s_wd6]

Treacy/Switta in.
Tabs/Henry out.

Nah henry was medi sub

 

[Square Peg]

There's also zero chance he's getting rested next week.

Probability says you're right but I would give him a rest for the final tilt. If it's good enough for Joel Selwood it's good enough for Mundy

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

As harsh as it is, it has to be Tucker no?

Tucker -> Switta
Tabs -> Meek / Treacy

Tucker to sub

Dont be silly JL, need the three tall set up

 

[s_wd6]

Big difference is one of them is retiring at the end of the season and one of them is not.

 

[Docker79]

Rest no one.
Top 4 is there for the taking. Arguably a favourable draw coming up.

Collingwood v Sydney next week. Collingwood v Carlton week after.

Think Lions and Dees are more vulnerable not to make the top 4 than the Pies.

Pies have a 6 point lead over us.

There's no difference at all The aim of the game is to win.

We're still chasing and are a chance for top 4 so we play our best which includes Barra.

Geelong had pretty much locked top 2 already so could rest Selwood.

Lobb is best 22 and I would manage him too. I hope we have the eagles covered with some buffer

I think that will leave us one short in midfield

Did he go through the middle much? Think we could put Switta through there for small stints if needed.

He did not spend much time in forward 50. Wing and high half forward I guess.
