Prediction Round 13, 2024: Changes vs North Melbourne

[Biggie]

Boom

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

How good is our depth that our best option wasn't even on our list 8 days ago?

 

[squashface]

Might kick 10 v Norf

 

[AFL4ME]

I'm not sure this is the right place but unfortunately I can't go to the game this week. Great seats, aisle ,front row, smack bang on the wing and right below the Alby! Block 143. $30 each. Message me if you're interested, otherwise I'll send them to the seat resale program.

 

[Sammy J]

I’m assuming Jake isn’t going to get up if we’re playing Hutchinson.

Go well young man!

 

[Hoskin300]

He's improved the last couple of years but he's a square peg in a round hole with Flynn in the side. We need a forward who can relieve Flynn in the ruck, and he's not a good enough forward, let alone ruck.

How could we possibly know he’s not good enough forward ?

Norf fans taking it as an insult

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

How good is our depth that our best option wasn't even on our list 8 days ago?

Says a lot about where our blokes are at, and is the main reason Gaff and Sheed are still in our team

A guy playing country footy 6 months ago comes in for one game, kicks 5 and straight in to AFL team.

 

[Jukes]

Thought this was a possibility given JWill’s game and Maric not setting the world on fire the last few weeks. My guess is he’s coming in for Maric and Waterman for JWill.

Nice injection of energy and vibe given the events of the past couple weeks I reckon.

Norf fans taking it as an insult

Well we did literally play WAFL players against them one time

 

[Ghossein]

Well we did literally play WAFL players against them one time

and came close to winning....

 

[squashface]

I like that we’re debuting him early. He’s gone from drafted to kicking 5 in his first WAFL game in a few days so he’s probably got some real BSD confidence at the moment.

May as well use it and just tell him to play off instinct.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

!!!!

Simmo basically already spoilt it in his interview with Rhino.

 

[WCErevival]

He's probably going to be sub.

 

[Cursedsword02]

Just how much rain is 0.4-0.8mm exactly?

If it's not much, we might've dodged a bullet weather-wise for the second week in a row.

 

[stallon]

He's probably going to be sub.

hope not, hope we put a mid as sub

 

[Flarn Rarn]

Love to see it.

It's been a pretty fun ride so far this year watching the team develop and start the upswing after the morass of the last two years. I guess I've become accustomed to having little things each week to get excited about. The injuries, Harley's suspension and the re-emergence of double standards at selection have put a dent in that the last few weeks, so I'm glad the club has thrown this up for the week.

 

[Rowan18]

My guess is Trew in for a full game to replace Harley and Hutchinson in for sub. Hopefully Waterman back and Culley gets a run if Yeo is out.

 

[Hoskin300]

My guess is Trew in for a full game to replace Harley and Hutchinson in for sub. Hopefully Waterman back and Culley gets a run if Yeo is out.

The selection is an absolute joke if trew doesn’t get a full game and Hutchinson does.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The selection is an absolute joke if trew doesn’t get a full game and Hutchinson does.

Why? They're not competing for the same position.

 

[wirra44]

I know a couple of blokes who play Collingwood VFL and are mates with Hutchinson.

Heard from one tonight that Jack’s told him he won’t debut until after the bye.

I hope you give him shit for the garbage intel

 

[Hoskin300]

Why? They're not competing for the same position.

I mean trew has no competition for the spot. There’s absolutely zero reason he shouldn’t be getting a full game with both Kelly and Reid out.

It would be nonsensical to not reward a bloke who has played well for an entire season of wafl compared to the guy who has played one game.

 

[stallon]

It would still be nonsensical to not reward a bloke who has played well for an entire season of wafl compared to the guy who played one game.

If we bring in Culley for Reid and have no other changes in our midfield, Trew could still easily be on the outer.
Could run with a mix of Ginbey/Culley/Sheed/Yeo with Trew sub again.
Id put Trew behind those 4 blokes.
Hutch is competing with first year players, injured players, and Brockman who is suspended for a spot in the forward line, its not even remotely the same thing

 

[wirra44]

My guess is Trew in for a full game to replace Harley and Hutchinson in for sub. Hopefully Waterman back and Culley gets a run if Yeo is out.

Why is yeo maybe out?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Seems a bit odd because I don’t think he did anything too special last week. Kicked a lot of goals sure, but they plunked him in the goal square, really simple game. Which made sense given that he basically had no time to train with the club.

Then again North are garbage and maybe it’s as good a time as ever to bring him in.
