Petrrucelle

Brock

Out: Waterman (Inj)
Hutchinson (Inj)
Duggin (in)
Kelly (omit)

This one could be even uglier than today.

[HoneyBadger35]

In: Ryan, Allan
Out: Waterman (inj), Cripps (unlucky if such a thing exists after that game)

Dewar up the ground, Maric to HBF, someone to sub but ideally not the debutant.

 

[kane249]

In : Ryan
Petrrucelle
Hall

Out: Waterman (Inj)
Hutchinson (Inj)
Duggin (in)

When was Hutchinson injured?

 

[stallon]

When was Hutchinson injured?

He raised his hand and jogged off a few mins into the last qtr, was on the bench the last 27 mins or something

There was no mention of anything on the commentary though

 

[Elite Pete]

Baker in the middle.

Might as well play Hall now, somehow one of our only pure midfielders on our list.

From we now have selection pressure to struggling to find a player to bring in.

 

[bUCKET__]

Big props to match committee if they drop Kelly. He's never, ever been more worthy of it.

 

[Cuzz09]

in: Allen, Malakai (double debut)

out: Waterman, Long

What's the odds on us losing by 200 next week?

 

[stallon]

Id like to see Hall into the CBAs, need someone different to try to extract the ball because we clearly dont have the personnel right now.
Baker is an option for it too but id probably persist with Baker in the backline for a bit longer

In: Ryan, Hall
Out: Waterman, Duggan (both inj)

If Hutch is injured too then Maric comes in(dewar moves from d50 to the wing), with whoever to be the sub, potentially Allan if hes fit enough.

Would be a shorter forward line with just Allen + A.Reid(ruck/fwd) over 190cm, but Ryan can sit at full forward.

Hopefully we slowly ramp up the midfield minutes for Hewett and Reid over the next month or so, if we added Hall to that mix thats a decent looking young midfield brigade to run with, complemented by Graham/Kelly

 

[KBLT]

Out: Waterman (curse), Duggan (curse), Kelly (doesnt care)
In: Ryan, Allan, Hall

 

[Elite Pete]

 

[JADED]

Is it just crickets for Hutch from commentary & club?
One of very few positives out there and sat out last ¼ of the game.

If Waterman is actually all good then:

Ins: Ryan, Hall
Out: Schlong, Duggan

Long was less than incredible

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

You are all nuts. We lost by 87 points and people can find 0 players to drop? Plenty of changes to make

IN : Allan, Hall, Ryan, B.Williams
OUT: Duggan (inj), Flynn, Cripps, Hutchinson (inj)

FB: Cole, H.Edwards, Hough
HB: Maric, McGovern, Hunt
C: Dewar, Reid, Baker
HF: Brockman, Waterman, Ryan
FF: Owies, Allen, Long
R: B.Williams, Ginbey, Graham
I/C: Hall , Kelly, Reid, Hewett
SUB : Allan

Jack Williams is probably our best ruck option right now but on the outer so back to Bailey we go. Yuck. I think Clay Hall in to provide some form of tackling. Gotta see if he has something and first 6 weeks without Yeo around is the best time. Greggo/Gross can come in later on also but for now give Clay a chance. Ginbey has to go back to the midfield. We just need him there . Hunt to defense to cover. Baker also has to go to the midfield on a wing. Dewar was good but feel lets put him on a wing.

Im making Allan sub due to illness and best way to ease him in

Fundamentally we just gotta put the best players around the ball... even if they are better suited elsewhere .

Hamstring awareness. Would think he misses a week

 

[woosha24]

Can we just claim gastro has taken out the club and not go?

Im sure based on today's performance the overall score differential will be about the same whether we turn up or not.

 

[Spod]

Assuming Waterman is okay...

In: Allan, Ryan
out: duggan (inj), long (seemed more rusty than anything but someone has to make room for Ryan)

Maric to start. Baker to middle, alternatively agree on Hall in instead of Allan.

Kelly, Flynn and Hunt on fairly thin ice. If Mini wants to make a statement he can drop one of them or make Kelly/Hunt the sub.

I’d go Hough in the guts over Ginbey.

 

[Tyberious Funk]

I'm just not seeing it with Long. He's a small forward that averages 11 disposals a game, and barely kicks any goals. Should be building match fitness back in the WAFL.

In juniors, a forfeit was 60-0 loss.
Might be a way we can improve our %

He is a small forward and nothing more. Get him back to that and don’t burn him trying to do something more

Hes still young, and coming back from a long lay-off.

Im good with him being the one to make way for Ryan but imo Long has a place at AFL level long term

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Ryan, Grego, Hall
Out: Cripps, Duggan, Hutchinson

 

[Rids]

Out: Waterman (assuming unavailable). In: J.Williams
Out: Duggan (assuming unavailable). In: B.Allan
Out: Hutchinson (assuming unavailable). In: Petruccelle
Out: Cripps (omit). In: Ryan


If Duggan or Hutchinson is fit, I would drop Kelly. Only can’t this week because losing some mids and think we’re setting Hall up for failure if throw him in against Brisbane.

Very, very close to leaving out Edwards for Brock as well but thought Edwards was good in pre-season so hopefully today just an aberration.

 

[Mulldogg]

Is it possible that Hutchinson just went off with cramp late? Nothing asked in McQualter’s presser about injuries other than Waterman I don’t think?
