Prediction Round 11: Changes Vs Demons + pre-match discussion

[s_wd6]

So , all I’ve seen him do is burst out of the backline a few times per game and he has made mistakes and turned over the ball as well, the game plan and wasting multiple inside 50’s is the reason we’ve been beaten these last two games.

Nah it's actually all because walker isn't playing. Can't explain it and there's no logic to it, but it's true. We will win the next game he plays.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Clark to the wing makes sense as the best one to put there but it's missing the whole point of getting Walker in the team, to get more speed in the back-half. Chapman makes the most sense to me

That’s probably more like it just a coincidence lol.

 

[Purple Suit]

We have won every game he's played in, and lost every game he hasn't played in. Stats don't lie.

Correlation is not causation

You're both right but that will not stop me from pushing my agenda.

Reckon Switkowski may be in trouble for his tackle on Ginnivan...

Look - I've been Switta's buddy for two years now - but it didn't look great. I would assume the MRO will look at it and suspect he gets a week - and it would be pretty hard to argue against. Here's hoping they give a wet weather game a bit of leniency.

Yeah it's not really defendable.

It's a fine at minimum

 

[Superkoops]

Walker according to posters seems to be our most important player faarkin lol.

It’s crazy talk. I don’t mind Walker coming back in but he isn’t the game-changer on whether we win or lose.

Teams have done their homework on us and the wet weather has scrambled our game-plan.

A bit of dash from the hbl would be handy and I agree with others that APearce just isn’t moving as freely as he was a month ago. In the game against North whist running forward to kick he awkwardly tripped over and clearly tweaked his ankle and then he did a number on it against Gold Coast resulting in him being subbed out.

In: Sturt, Fyfe, Walker
Out: Banfield, Frederick, APearce (Ankle)

 

[Bastyy]

there is a genuine science that we win with walker and lose without him

simply: the opposition spends more time looking at walker because he's good looking and less time looking at the ball, generating more wins

i rest my case

 

[Purpleheart_56]

This season


With Walker 6-0

Without Him 1-3

 

[Alfonz]

In: Erasmus, Sturt, Fyfe, Walker
Out: Banfield, Frederick, Colyer, Pearce

If Fyfe is not fit, then maybe Tucker. I'm not a huge fan and nobody is putting him in, but he will probably be first cab off the rank from the selectors if they want to make any changes and Fyfe is not ready. Colyer should make way. Looked spent yesterday and was continually left for dead on the spread by his opponent. He is way too small if he can't have a positive impact with his running.

 

[Freomaniac]

This. I really don’t see the issue with playing Logue Cox and Pearce. Anyones conceding in the wet while our mids are turning it over flicking it around by handball all game.

The issue is the forward line, not the back 6/7. Almost 100 i50s in 2 weeks for 10 goals.

That's funny because when Freo won every single game from rounds 3 to 8, not many people complaining about the forward line.

He’s our good luck charm.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Really liking Clark's year. Hes not afraid to have a crack.

He was great last night, deserved criticism throughout the year but I thought he really held his own last night

 

[FreoMatt]

Out Walters, Lobb, and Tabs weak as
In Amiss, Meak, Stuart

Our forward like is as weak as ****

Walters was our best forward on the weekend

Switta directly to Tribunal. We’re cooked. What the **** was he thinking.

Not a “big name” club so he’ll probably get the book thrown at him too

 

[ilikepotatoes]

So that's at least 2 games then...

 

[Cobbler]

AFL will look at the fixtures and ensure Switta plays the next 2 weeks as punishment.

 

[Scham]

As if our forward line woes aren't bad enough! Banfield will get a reprieve now!

Yeah he's ****ed. Fine grabbing an arm, but bending it back? Dick move.

 

[Bastyy]

Judd got 4 for his chicken wing all those years ago so

 

[Mogumber]

Stupid thing to do, the kid was on the ground, could've resulted in a horror injury.
2 weeks is right imo

 

[Ge3ks]

It looks worse than it was. Ginnivan was fine. Didn't wince. Wasn't hurt, was he?Plenty of players hold the arm while tackling so they cant dispose of the ball.
