Hope all the ins line-up on Sunday - not sure who else makes way though

 

[BomberTime]

Draper, Cox, Setterfield, Heppell. Sub: Hind…?

 

[Vindicater]

From the team named I would make

Sub: Menzie
Emergency: Wright , Caddy and Kelly

 

[DallasCrane316]

Both Kelly and Heppell named on the bench. One of them in doubt?

 

[Vander18]

Very strong squad, probably our strongest this year?

Should smash them.

Jon Ralph on “midweek tackle” saying that Redman and Draper are playing. Duursma most likely. Caddy probably misses out.

 

[FootyGuru]

Guess not being at the game did not allow you to see his starting position was wing but he played both sides of the ground like a ruck rover and others covered his wing .

I don’t know why this keeps getting brought up, like it matters at all. Setterfeild absolutely played skinny wing at times during the Carlton game.

 

[bombreys]

Gutsy changes after a coupe of losses - good to see a teenager make way.

Duursma will 100% be picked if he's fit. Its clear Scott has been moving magnets around massively to fix the wing, so it's a big boon to have him back.

Gutsy changes after a coupe of losses - good to see a teenager make way.

He isn’t a wing/fwd and doesn’t suit being the sub so let him play 4qrts in the 2s on ball. Will Hobbs also be in the reserves midfield?

 

[Petrify]

Gutsy changes after a coupe of losses - good to see a teenager make way.

He's looked awful when he's come on. He needs full game time in the VFL and needs to fix his disposal.

 

[windyhill]

Avoid looking at the ladder, just got a glimpse at it on first crack preview, still third AFTER the bye. ****ing hell, let’s go boys…..

 

[justlookingaround]

First game all year I won't be able to watch live.
Take that as whatever omen you interpret it to be.

 

[bommer16]

Win go second
Lose drop to 6th?

 

[bommer16]

‘Wright Gets Right’ game for me.
Lots of grippo=lots of goals ()

 

[bommer16]

Look fwd to seeing duurs back out there

 

[DallasCrane316]

King on “First Crack” tipped Eagles for an upset win. Thinks the Eagles defence will get them over the line.

Barrass and McGovern did have a field day with our sloppy entries last time, but that was also in WA and they had kelly/reid. I would be very disappointed if our midfield couldn't find some form this weekend.

It’s possible, I still reckon we win though. It’s a pretty hard round to tip actually. We’re coming off a bye and are struggling to score. North looking their best for years and Dees cratering. Port and Brisbane in Adelaide….

He's probably right. He usually is.

He's probably right. He usually is.

It's like he begrudgingly has to pay us compliments because all the CD data his fed is indicating improvement....but it's these unscripted hot takes where he gets to shine

We should honestly thrash them if we're going to do anything this year, but that's not a crazy prediction. We've beaten them by 1 point at Marvel last year and 6 points a couple of months ago. We also lost to them in 2022 when they had 2 wins for the year.

Certainly cannot be complacent.

Sounds like King is on crack.

 

[bombreys]

He had a stinker, but after two losses it shouldn’t just be him in the firing line.

We’re playing 3 of the past 19 players we’ve drafted. Not giving some of these kids a chance is going to really hurt us long term, especially coming off the back of a couple of losses with some older guys out of form
