Prediction Changes v bulldogs

[FreoGirl]

Haven't watched JLo's presser - any word on Young? Murmurs that he's done a hammy.

Just terrific

 

[Lach72]

Out:
-Walters. Absolutely cooked. It's actually an equal mix sad and embarrasing at this point.
-JOM. Slow as treacle and not suited to the modern AFL. We are already a slow team.
-Hughes. Lach72 would have enjoyed the classic Hughes mark, don't take the first option and wait for everyone to zone/man up.
-Emmett, just not sure if he is anything really. What does he do well, not much.
-Erasmus, don't think he has another position apart from inside mid unfortunately
-Amiss, unfortunately
-Young, unfortunately

In:
-Simpson
-Brodie
-Chapman
-Freddy
-Switta
-Voss
-Stanley

Yes, just FML

 

[Superkoops]

There is a case for 6-7 changes but I'll try to make it simple, there are too many classy young players sitting at Peel and all of the following have shown they are currently (maybe never will be or will be again) not at the level.
Walters (I'm sorry, I love you mate but we cant keep carrying you like this, we are playing down a man every game).
Ras
Hughes
JOM

When you add Amiss, that is 5 mandatory changes that have to be made then you can argue whether Emmett and Sturt deserve another go and whether Banfield is allowed to continue to keep hurting the team with soul sucking misses.

Chapman, Switta and Freddy are non-negotiable and if I see someone saying Chapman needs another week I will literally come and fight you. One or both of Stanley and Simpson need to come in. I dont care if it's Tabs or Voss.

I feel Stanley needs another week at Peel.

Simpson - I’d bring him in.

Will Brodie bossed that game today. He needs to come in both JOM and Erasmus to Peel.

Otherwise agree with changes.

Frederick and Switta will replace forwards. Walters can be managed out (it worked for Collingwood). Sturt for mine isn’t ready. Yes he got two goals but just seems off with timing and not moving smoothly. To be fair to Sturt he kind of had to fill Amiss’ role, which is not his go.

Banfield after last week got worse. He does this every year. You start to believe he has turned the corner after a couple of primo games and then he just smacks you in the face with a wet salmon.

 

[DocT]

You might as well go spare now, because JL will almost certainly not even contemplate it. He's the most conservative coach I have ever seen.

All these mass changes proposed ... I can't argue with them and agree. But you can bet your life that there will be the most minimal changes possible.

It will be Taberner for Amiss. Then if Switta and Freddy are fit, it will be Erasmus and one of Sturt or Emmett out. JOM back to sub.

The most adventurous JL will get is bringing Chapman in, but I won't be surprised if he is left in the WAFL for a few more weeks.

Stanley, Brodie, Simpson, Voss ... I reckon almost zero chance.

Then JL is digging his own grave and 2024 will be his last season as head coach of an AFL team.

 

[freo1997]

If Tabs comes in he’s got nfi.

 

[FreoGirl]

Who is going to this game?

Too soon? ….

 

[freoishnchips]

Structural:
Young - back to half back asap
Johnson - must get more inside midfield minutes urgently
Aish - back to wing / Worner down back
Fyfe - off the bench back half of quarters

Changes:
Chapman in - Hughes out
Brodie in - O’Meara out
Worner in - Walker out
Frederick in - Amiss out (concussion)
Switta in (if fit) - Erasmus out

 

[Lach72]

Structural:
Young - back to half back asap
Johnson - must get more inside midfield minutes urgently
Aish - back to wing / Worner down back
Fyfe - off the bench back half of quarters

Changes:
Chapman in - Hughes out
Brodie in - O’Meara out
Worner in - Walker out
Frederick in - Amiss out (concussion)
Switta in (if fit) - Erasmus out

There is no way…as long as my arse points to the ground…that Young is playing in the back line again.

 

[mike91]

If Tabs comes in he’s got nfi.

Depends how you look at it.

Tabs draws the best defender, which creates the domino effect for Treacy and Jackson

Voss won't, so Treacy or Jackson would attract the best defender

I want to see Voss get a crack, but I would understand if JL picks Tabs

 

[Mogumber]

Johnson was good! One of the few shining lights

No thanks

 

[Lach72]

I wouldn’t go that far..he was just ok

 

[apuchar]

Surprised so few mentioned Johnson as an out. What did he do that I didn't see?

 

[FreoGirl]

Fyfe tried

Honestly with us starting Jackson in the ruck we may as well have played Tabs. At least we'd have been more dangerous in the first 10 minutes

 

[mike91]

No he wasn't

 

[apuchar]

Fyfe tried

He did but his opponent won the money in the Russian Roulette.

 

[Alfonz]

Then JL is digging his own grave and 2024 will be his last season as head coach of an AFL team.

He doesn't know any other way. Watch it happen on Thursday. What will also happen is instead of trying to attack the Dogs, JL will be scared of losing a shootout, and will double down on his ultra defensive gameplan. Will aim to recreate the Crows/Port/Blues games and try to strangle a 70-60 type of victory.

It's very tiring. Not sure it is sustainable. Especially with a young team. I can understand it in a way when you consider how our defense played without that sort of support.

I mean, with respect, that would actually be commonsense coaching.

Why would we want a shootout minus Amiss? If Giants and Port coached accordingly, they wouldn't have been so easily scored against today

 

[FreoMatt]

Ok I watched the Peel game today and Brodie was BOG. Probably the best game I’ve seen him play for a while, not only was he excellent in the contest but linked up well and kicked a nice goal. Chappy was also very good and had 20 possessions and 7 marks in the first half alone. He also kicked a nice goal playing off half back. Warner was also pretty good while Simpson played his best game and showed a fair bit. Wagner was also ok, but Voss, Deleen and O’Driscoll were average at best. So my changes;

In: Tabs (for Amiss), Brodie (for JOM), Chappy (for Walker), Freddy (for Eramus), Switter (for Walters)

"tight" hamstring. They're hopeful it's nothing more than that

Shootout doesn’t logically flow from some quicker ball movement.

We can still defend

 

[freo1997]

I didn’t watch Peel…what did Voss do wrong? 3.3, 10 disp. Why are some saying Average? Surely we’re done with tabs for the time being and we can give a youngster a chance.
