Preview Changes Vs Cats Round 9

[HoneyBadger35]

Barrass for Bennell, Selwood into the 21 and McGinnity or Colledge as the sub. All in all that's quite a decent change considering who we're replacing/how tall Geelong are.

 

[WereFlyingHigh4]

Would love to see the final changes be:
In: Barrass, Colledge
Out: Bennell, Yeo
Barrass' been in good form and we need to combat their tall forward line on what will be a great day for big forwards.

MCGINNITY WHY!

Surely out of those in's, Colledge has to be the most logical choice, dominated for most of 2015 in the WAFL and has more potential to be on the list in 2 years than that round thing called Patrick who masquerades as an AFL player.

Would be more likely a Bennell replacement than yeo, iMO. Which would mean two changes for us.

No hutch is interesting. Wonder if he's named for East perth?

 

[Keys]

MCGINNITY WHY!

Mcginnity is the definition of an emergency as in it'd have to be an emergency for us to play him

We haven't reached that level yet

 

[Marlin01]

Wouldn't be surprised if Lycett comes in and Sinclair plays in defence.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

How about barrass in for Yeo to take Wellingham's position

Wellingham to the midfield for one game

Bennell to sub

With the likelihood at times of Hawkins, Clark and Blicavs in the forward 50 - an extra tall would be ideal

Doesn't apply so much this week because EP play on Monday, but the benefit of picking McGinnity is that you can hold him out as the gameday emergency, he isn't needed so goes a full week without WAFL or AFL football, but at this stage in his career that isn't doing too much for his development. In a choice between McGinnity or a first or second year player missing out on a week of high level football because they got stranded being an emergency that wasn't needed, I know which one I'd prefer from a development point of view.

 

[Suma Magic]

Hopefully Colledge in for Yeo.

Bennell as sub.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Wouldn't be surprised if Lycett comes in and Sinclair plays in defence.

They wouldn't have named barass if that was going to be the case...no way Sinclair plays defence

 

[WCErevival]

We've got so many defenders. If Barrass comes in it makes it worse. Maybe Nelson to sub

 

[Avalor]

I just hope Barrass comes into the 22 - wanna see him play, and in the circumstances, he is just what we need to cover their talls. As a 3rd man up he will help quell Hawkins and Clarke a lot.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

If both Hutch and Ellis are unavailable then it really comes down to a choice between McGinnity or Lucas for the 25th spot. There's honestly not much left in the WAFL other than Waterman and rookie listers.

Hopefully it's Barrass and Colledge in for Yeo and Bennell.

 

[WCE_phil]

I think we are going to go down this weekend. Might set a little multi on it actually.

Knew Paddy would rear his head again

McGinnity is herpes... You think it's gone but really it's just lurking about waiting to reappear and ruin your weekend ...

Herpes gets more touches in the backline though. More of an in and under type

 

[steve hucka]

Would rather Lucas play than College or Mcginnity, I'm just not a fan of College not sure where he fits or what sort of player he his or could be at AFL level, all though he does deserve another shot !

We're actually close to reaching our complete depth for midfielders.

Lucas would be perfect to replace Yeo. Imagine the amount of run he'd provide compared with Brant

Blicavs has never played as a forward, he doesn't rest up there either. He'll be standing next to Priddis at every stoppage.
Kersten is our third tall up forward.

Shepp will take Kersten - Stanley is another tall who might be up there

 

[MIKE85]

I think we are going to go down this weekend. Might set a little multi on it actually.

Likewise, probably the first test we've had since we got belted by Freo, the last decent team we played. I get that same feeling as 2011, when we had a good draw to start the year, came up against Collingwood, think we were both near the top at the time, everyone was picking us to win on our previous weeks form, and we got belted by 50 points. I reckon we crash back down on Sunday

Shep will have to hit the gym hard this offseason if he wants to keep playing the third tall defender role!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Would love to see the final changes be:
In: Barrass, Colledge
Out: Bennell, Yeo
Barrass' been in good form and we need to combat their tall forward line on what will be a great day for big forwards.

Wouldn't mind seeing these two get a game, but Geelong might be too tough an opponent first up (or 3rd up for Brant).
Not the worst idea though, Barrass to help out Gov and Schoey, Colledge as the sub.
