Prediction Changes vs Fremantle (feat. Mystery Eagle)

[HoneyBadger35]

Pray for BigFooty’s servers.

We have no clue on who is available but let’s have it. Use this as a pregame Derby thread for the time being.

Stephen Giro for the Glendinning.

 

[KERRPOW]

Can you open the changes thread for the derby please? We're not going to get any certainty on which players are available until Thursday, but we need somewhere to discuss the upcoming game before then.

May aswell start here.

Im not going to discuss top up players, only the ins/outs of listed players.

OUT: XON, JAIMESON, random top up players
IN: nic, barass, jones, recovered listed players

If thr WAFL was playing then id drop darling also.

 

[DanWCE]

Is it a risk bringing back so many players at once who are all recovering from Covid? I know Simmos stance is to not reveal whether a player has been infected or simply a close contact, however he did sort of let it slip in media duties last week.

We need to load up on the Freo exers, against the club that didn't want them!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Whoever is left standing, Gaff & Nelson if they are available I guess.
Out: Witho, Ainsworth (inj), Jack Williams
If TB or Harry is back but NN is not, I'd like Jamo to have an opportunity to support Baz Williams in the ruck.
Hopefully JK, Dixon or JW to replace Jack Williams.

 

[KERRPOW]

Im pretty confident of a win here gaiz.

Freo keep freo'ing

Yep, look at how Kelly and Ryan started well and then completely fell away. Multiple than by 5 and it'd be a disaster

I think it comes down to a fitness test. I had COVID two weeks ago and was fine after 2 days, raring to go by 7. Don't forget that Ryan and Kelly were also playing their first AFL game for the season, whereas the other boys still played Rnd 1 (plus practice games).

If a player isn't 100%, let them play a WAFL practice game for this weekend.

Wonder if we'll have the numbers for a WAFL scratchie this weekend.

So we’ve got no idea who actually had Covid, and who was just a close contact? In a way I sort of hope most actually had covid. Being a close contact, would be a fair chance of someone else in the house catching it, and then you do another week. Wonder if Freo will cop a few more this week??

Yeah, it's a bit strange why the club or AFL has to keep that confidential. I don't know why who has and does not have covid has to be kept under wraps. Is it actually considered too personal to reveal that?

 

[Dark Sharks]

Never thought i'd be truly blessed to ever get a chance to say this again but here it is....



OUT - Ainsworth
IN - Anyone

 

[Astro7]

This weeks list is a bit like throwing names at a wall and seeing what sticks!?
Okay, it's nothing like that at all, but it's a bit of a cliffhanger waiting until Thursday.
Will we have a good cross section of A-grade players and better skilled newbies
across the lines?
Freo be breathing purple smoke this week, in their publicly announced quest to win a flag.
If we bring the same intent, should be a cracker...a win for us - sensational and galvanising!

 

[flyinghi64]

Because Covid isn't a footballing injury it would be classified as a private medical matter I believe.
Maybe that is why they are just referring to it all as the HS Protocol.

Also how long can we play the top up players and if any really excel can we keep them any way?
I don't mind having a 70's pr0n star running around for us, seems to go hard as well.

Fumbles Ainsworth - even looks insipid in an Eagle's jumper. Just not meant to be.
Now Dewar, he's on OK, for me.

We have no rights to them at the end of the season. We would have to draft them at the MSD or ND, or sign them as an SSP player post-season.

 

[JackOutback]

In: Everyone
Out: Everyone else

 

[bh90210fan]

NO CHANGES TALK

ONLY PREGAME DISCUSSION

 

[Dark Sharks]

OUT : Jamieson, Jilliams, XON, Brayden, Dewar, Mountford, Black (shame, i liked him), Giro (also liked him)

IN : *Naitanui, Kennedy, Jones, Redden, Barrass, Rotham, Hough.


*presuming these players are available due to covid nonsense protocols.


Not sure what's going on with Gaff. Don't really care TBH. Give Naish a crack on that wing for an extended period.

Not in a hurry to rush Langdon back either, but might have to at Petrucelle's expense if he won't lay a tackle.

Hedwards probably won't be needed if Barrass and McGovern are playing against only Lobbster.




FB: Hurn, Barrass, Duggan
HB: Witherden, McGovern, Foley
C: Naish, Kelly, SPS
HF: Jones, Darling, Ryan
FF: Willie, Kennedy, Petrucelle
FOL: Naitanui, Shuey, Redden
INT: Williams, Ledwards, Hough, Rotham

Sub: Langdon
EMG: Hedwards


Going to be interesting if big boy Darcy doesn't come up. Fyfe won't be available but they should get Mundy back. We mght actually win a game.

 

[GlennTwenty]

Out: Jilliams Billiams
In: JWilliams BWilliams

 

[ep2018]

Gut feeling less than half missing last week will be avaliable, and Willie will get suspended for the tackle as it caused a concussion (the way it seems to go).

Covid has completely ****ed any chance of us being in a position to challenge for finals, we should be 3-0 after next weekend and now we start the harder part of our fixture. Off the top of my head we have the pies in Melbourne, Sydney here, Port away etc

 

[EagleEgo]

Match Review: New Eagle fined, Rioli tackle explained

The Match Review Officer has released the findings from Sunday's games in round two

Seriously though.

wash your mouth out with soap

 

[southcoast]

Not sure if we can do ins and outs due to unknown status of so many players.

But…….regulars who need to seriously lift their game; Petro, Langdon, O’Neil & Witherden.

Need another run; Kelly, Ryan and Darling.

Others reasonably safe methinks.
