Prediction Round 18, 2024: Changes vs Brisbane

[stallon]

Culley not named, hopefully he gives Trew a couple of games, as soon as we know what we need to Culley can come in.

Cant bring too many of the WAFL mids in at once. I like it

 

[new breed]

Right mix , good changes going forward .

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Sounds like Barass will miss this week and Hunt/Kelly fitness tests/a good chance to miss also.

With no Barass or McGovern, will be a case of needing someone to go down back out of the tall forwards. May be a chance to give Maric a go cos why not

Logan McDonald-esque.

 

[Citizen Erazed]

Give Maric the kick-in duties, hitting up lasers from the goal square.

Or Witho can hoof it to the right-side boundary as is the standard.

 

[kane249]

They have leg speed I guess which is something we BADLY lack

Yes they can use it to run back to their positions, after they just let the oppo transition the full length of the ground for a goal again with no pressure

 

[amazingjoshy]

Pretty happy with that

 

[Keys]

Dropping Chesser I didn’t mind but replacing him with Luke Edwards on a wing is a bit meh. Would’ve preferred Johnston

Changes overall could’ve gone further but it’s a start

Balance between talls and smalls looks better

 

[KERRPOW]

Luke edwards is meh.
dissapointed culley has not been named.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

I’m loving these team changes, great to see and a long time overdue

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Logan McDonald-esque.

I’m sure there’ll be some elaborate explanation of why none of those panned out.

It's already Schofield's team.

Wasn't interested in going until the sacking, keen to celebrate Simmo before then game and see how Schofield and the boys respond.

 

[RookiePick]

Let's see what roles the boys play before writing them off. Ledwards off a wing never, ever made sense. His best attributes are shown closer to the coal face and his worst attributes are exposed in space.

I know Schofield can't yank too many levers at once but he'd be a mug to simply run Simmo's playbook unchanged and think that is going to win people over.

I'm excited again to see what players can muster if they are played to their strengths, instead of where they can be shoe-horned in around the status quo.

why is he named last in a list that is meant to be in numerical order

It's Schofield's first day.

Agree with you keys. Instead of L.Edwards I would of brought culley in and rotate ginbey and maric on the wing and half back line.

 

[wce4premiership]

I think they just want to have a look at Luke Edwards and Trew before the end of the season. Hoping that they give them a good opportunity to actually get involved.

Edwards probably on the wing though for Chesser.

 

[Bacchus]

Geez they really rate L Edwards, don’t mind him getting a few games if he doesn’t show anything tho surely that’s it

He’d be near the top of my delist pile, haven’t seen much from him in four years, very slow.
WAFL form didn’t warrant a recall.
Doubt whether he’d be on a list Iif he wasn’t ‘son of ….’, Adelaide made the right call.

 

[Ghossein]

It's Schofield's first day.

 

[Lia]

Good changes, suspect that there will be lots of them in the weeks ahead.

For someone like Luke Edwards it could well be a last chance.

"WHACK"
Straight out of the blocks!!

Trew better not be sub.

 

[eaglesfan84]

How does Witherden survive ffs

 

[squashface]

How does Witherden survive ffs

Which defender would you bring in for him?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Which defender would you bring in for him?

I wouldn't mind Baker getting a game to see if he's worth retaining. Solid in the WAFL all season.

 

[flyinghi64]

B.Reville
His nickname must be Toastie

 

[Bacchus]

How does Witherden survive ffs

No one else to play the position, and he’s slightly better than Rotham.
