Prediction Round 13, 2024: Changes vs North Melbourne

[Doashuey]

Reid suspension will depend if the AFL decide to stick with their clear formline of punishing the outcome (fine only) or make an exception for a WCE player and decide this is the week to punish the action.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Pffffft, we dont even need to look at the WAFL to know EXACTLY how this one goes down boiz.

Just do a quick credit rating check to see who makes way


IN - Kelly, Waterman, Rotham
OUT - Trew, Jilliams, Maric

Jones (Sub)

Pfffffft, the main thing is that Simmo is beyond criticism for any loss, or action/decision taken.
Trump like supporters, will back him to the end no matter what.

So we’ll go with Barrass, Gov, Edwards and Rotham down back against a North side that don’t have much height in the forward line other than Larkey?

That is correct yes.

Also, Harley is still playing

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Can’t really see anyone in the WAFL really stepping up in a way that pushes them into contention.

Changes will be pretty straight forward.

Out: Reid (susp), JWill (stiff), HEdwards
IN: Kelly, Waterman, Rotham
Sub: one of Trew/Hall

AFL has consistently suspended tackles similar to Harley’s irrespective of outcome/injury/concussion.

It will be careless, high contact, medium impact.

If Wilson was concussed, or has a delayed concussion it could be high impact and two weeks.

If AFL grades it low, that would be the AFL making an exception for a West Coast player -Harley.

Where does medium impact come from? Bloke got straight up and played on.

It's easy for onlookers to BF to be completely bamboozled by the posting on here.
People are always calling "play the youth, play the youth" - which youth, where are they?
We've played youth all season and most of them had little to no impact.
Apart from the obvious, the remaining youth we've maintained in the 23 are often criticised and dumped in the weekly changes/ out box!
Any youth left in the Wafl are not capable or ready for AFL.
It's like we have this mythical army of talented youth standing by at the ready to launch into our best 23?

Culley should be playing ahead of Sheed for a start.

Johnston played well in the WAFL to start the year to earn a debut. Quiet game last week but I'd argue he should have been persevered with. Burgiel building into some form now too.

Dewar stiff to cop the sub a few times and has looked handy, could have played yesterday.

I don't think Hall is far off a debut. So the options aren't very mythical.

Simpson's logic that HJ etc can't run out games doesn't really hold up when the seniors went absolutely missing late in the game yesterday too.

Only Culley for Sheed I agree with.

There aren't many more at this stage TBH.

 

[mat11]

Waterman- maric
Jilliams- Dewar
Reid- kelly

I love Jilliams and maric but without the support of waterman/Allen they are a fairway off. Nothing wrong with developing in the wafl in the short term. Big baz, darling, Waterman and (Allen)to me is the correct balance going forward.

Reid I feel will get 1 week which is bulls*** but it's how it is now. Yeos body language was suggesting he's carrying something or sore, I hope not but culley would be his replacement.

North's lack of height in backline is why I wouldn't mind Dewar having another crack

I think Hall or burgiel need to debut. Perfect opportunity against North. Either gaff/Sheed or jj to move out the way I'd say simmo would pull jj first

Really like h.edwards game, has to stay now for a while unless rotham dominates wafl for a period

Potential to cause injury will upgrade it.

On Edwards, I really liked his game, but boy oh boy wowee were we in trouble as soon as the ball hit the ground.

HEdwards is taking himself off the delist pi93c but 3 KPD isn’t the way to go unless it’s against Carlton or similar oppo.

 

[Ghossein]

JWilliams for Waterman
Reid for Kelly

pending WAFL form, might see Culley or Hall come in

That's not his strength and it doesn't need to be

We can play him and Barrass as talls and Gov as the 3rd

 

[Sammy J]

We went in way too tall vs the Saints. Their speed killed us.

Even without Harley we should be fine to beat North at home, but we’d want TK and Snake back…

Yep agree he's a big lad that can get exposed on ground ball but I think where it's OK is if Harry plays a complete lock down role and mcgovern plays the smaller role as he's deceptively quick, agile and has a awesome kick

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

It not about Edwards, it’s about how the 6 defenders on the park play as a back 6.

We can’t have 3 KPD. None are particularly agile. It makes us too tall and exposes us at ground level.

I’m impressed with HEdwards but he’ll need to wait his turn until Gov moves on in order to lock down a permanent spot down back.

.

Culley played one good game since he’s been back. Needs more time. Could put his hand up to replace Reid if he has a good game today, but Sheed looked much better when they were both in the WAFL

Johnston has had a couple of quiet games, I really rate him, but on form over last 2-3 weeks he hasn’t earned a call up.

Dewar would be B22 if we weren’t stacked up front.

How can you tell Hall isn’t that far off, he’s played one game in the last month. If anything he’s further away than what people on this board think. Calls for his inclusion are premature. If he can play through discomfort in his hand then he could put his hand up, but more unlikely than likely imo.

Fair mate, if he can't even put his hand up then I'm worried about the extent of that injury.

North will come across seeing us as their first win.

Will be fully rested and ready.

To just assume we'll win any game is crazy, we are not much better than them especially with injuries/suspension now bobbing up.

Good one.

He’ll be wearing a glove today. Has barely played since pre-wafl bye.

I think many on this board like to propagate that Clay is a lot closer than what he actually is.

Probably about number 7-8 in line in terms of midfield depth.

 

[Hoskin300]

In: Kelly, Waterman, Dewar / Harvey
Out: JJones, JWilliams, Reid

Got to get more youth into the team so bring in Dewar / Harvey for Jones. Edwards probably makes our backline unbalanced but he is playing well so keep him in. Trew to sub again. Unfortunately Gaff and Sheed have earnt their place for next weeks game.
