Game Day Round 17, 2024: West Coast vs Melbourne

[kerrazy]

So Williams kicks 4 goals for the beagles and Hutchinson has 7 touches with no influence, guess who they make the sub?

 

[squashface]

I suspect it's because the MC know we are too tall so they want to hide one as sub for as long as possible (Williams to be subbed on with 5mins to go in the last quarter) instead of just making the sensible decision to drop Darling

 

[Spod]

Jilliams as sub has to be that he was really there as Waterman backup. Guessing they're accepting that they are losing the ruck to Gawn and maybe trying something left field to negate it. At least we are marginally less tall?

Does make the inclusion of Hutch quite confusing.

 

[Godfather32]

Perhaps a game of professional chicken? Sack me now, gimme my payout and I'm done.

Highly doubt Simpson is lacking that much in integrity for such a move though and its just a baffling selection.

Yeah that's what I mean, there's no way he's doing this right?
Which leaves me with incompetence

I guess Oscar will take some centre bounce ruck contests, while Darling takes f50 stoppages.

Makes us shorter, I guess? For a while?

Jack Williams sub ? WTF

Bailey 100% game time in the ruck vs gawn .

The match committee are ****ing stupid

exactly, what melbourne least expected

Why give Jack Williams a full game on the mcg where he has never played before for experience .. much more logical to watch jack darling do whatever it is Jack darling does these days… if they were going to do such a stupid move by still playing him , he should be the sub.

Maximum flexibility on the bench.

Darling over JWilliams - we have lost the plot.

have we tried

 

[Wce17]

I wonder if the plan is B.Williams will go solo against Gawn for the first half or so then bring on a fresh J.Williams for a chopout. Happy Johnson is getting a full game.

 

[GWeagles]

Complaining we are slow and too tall. Put speed on the ground and the extra tall as sub. Everyone complains!

Risking our blue chip key forward in the ruck after several injury interrupted seasons would be an interesting decision

Johnston is a emergency/not playing. We need to see more of Jarmaine Jones to figure out if he is a 200 gamer or not

Sorry...what extra speed is on the ground?

Jack Williams doesnt shrink in height cos he is the sub. We are still too tall

 

[Wooshaaaa]

At least I'm not an insecure tedious troll who has to hammer his point home incessantly in the hope of overturning his own sad emotional investment in a football club - a self propaganda machine working on volume of posts - get a life you depressing dude!

My bad I just assumed Hutchinson was the emergency & Johnston was playing.

 

[BSD]

The club needs a good clean out with a dose of Laxettes, starting with the M.C. ,Assistants and Development Coaches.
Who is on the match committee ?
Why do spuds like J.J. and Rotham keep getting a game. Makes you wonder what is going
on when the only player to get dropped after last weeks embarassment was the sub.

 

[GWeagles]

Which on your preferred subs is slower?

Honestly this obsession with Hutchinson from the MC is very strange. JWilliams and Maric should both be automatically ahead.

That's a sensible assumption tbf

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Harvey Johnston is definetly faster then Jack Darling is a example of how we can get faster

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

I think Hutchinson is in for some speed up forward. They are obviously seeing something in him. JWilliams as sub is weird.
