Prediction Changes v Melbourne (Round 19)

[DragoDelph]

Aish playing at Peel

He'll be pretty lonely down there this week.

He'll be pretty lonely down there this week.

Indeed, forgot about that. No footy for him then.

 

[doppo]

Peel this year

 

[DaveLister]

When was the last time we had our list healthy enough to genuinely pick a best 22?

Very good to spot to be in, at this time of year.

I don't see Walters being best 23 next year.

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Sonny being the sub does confirm that he's right on the edge of selection though. It is a toss up between Aish and Sonny being the sub. I think we'll see Aish playing at Peel this weekend, I am expecting Walker to replace him in the side.

JL did say something along the lines of if there was no WAFL bye there might've been a different call to give Sonny a full game at either level. Seems like next week depending on injuries/form, Sonny will either play full game AFL or full game WAFL.

 

[yakamoto]

Nor this year.

I'm no expert clearly, but I would think he has more to gain at this point in his career from lower game time. IMO, JLo is keeping him in just enough touch to be available for finals, where I can see him genuinely having an impact. Same with Fyfe, I know they are both contracted for next year but this feels to me like the last roll of the dice for them both in finals - and I also feel like they have both earned that right to have one last crack, even though they are both past their best.

Oh, man... DragoDelph has the tick now. So jealous. Almost enough to make a forumer want to be a moderator.

I need to volunteer as a moderator on an amateur discussion board and hone my skills for the next time there's an opening at BF.

The brick is even better then the tick

Do it for the bin.

I want an eyeroll or a facepalm.

 

[DragoDelph]

Hey Van_Dyke... Catch.

 

[Quay Club]

His mother was a mudder.

I don't see Walters being best 23 next year.

Until he kicks a few bags in the finals and wins the Norm smith.

Hey, what did I just say?

 

[MadMundy]

The team is pretty much at it's best now, we're pretty much fielding our Best 23, if we can't beat Melbourne with our full strength squad, we're going nowhere.

 

[doppo]

I absolutely agree we need to win - but on your point it's not like this 23 has been humming along nicely and building for months. Darcy has had no consistency all year, Cox is still building, Pearce hasn't played in a month and we're still lacking in decent small forwards. I'm just not sure the names on the board mean everything clicks instantly

But we're not playing the best team at their best and full strength either. With our best on the park we should win this comfortably. If we can't then our NT victory will mean nothing - except the 4 pts.

 

[DragoDelph]

FYI - looks like Johnson out.

Aish would've been emergency anyway

Small possibility of Voss being emergency but Brodie would've played after missing last week

 

[Gussman]

People talking about us finally having an uninjured B22 incurred the wrath of the footy gods.

 

[DaveLister]

I accept full responsibility for cursing us, hope Johnson makes a quick recovery from whatever his injury is

 

[go_the_dockers]

I blame you.

It was too early, to make a statement like this and you made the footy gods angry.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

How does the club list him as injured and not say what the injury is? That's pretty shit
