Game Day Round 23, 2024: West Coast vs Carlton

[random260]

I mean if Gaff is playing an entire game on wing is Maric needed

 

[Keys]

One of Hall, Maric or Hutchinson to be the non playing emergency

I guess Maric who might be a late in for Edwards if it’s raining and/or ground has turned into a cow paddock.

With Carlton going with a small forwardline there’s not an obvious matchup for Edwards

Think they’re going to try turn the game into a stoppage slog and rely on winning the territory battle with goals coming from congestion

Ten goals could well be a winning score

 

[ArdentEagle]

Maric out has to be a wet weather thing. Surely/

Same could have been said for Edwards but I suppose they want Gove still playing loose and they'd like one extra tall for resting Ruck perhaps.

 

[stallon]

Hall out is completely fair. No point sitting him on a wing when he clearly is a bit out of his depth out there.

Maric idk, he could be tired or injured? I wouldnt have expected him to be dropped.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

I think this also happened earlier this season. Google is weird.

Major update on Sunday footy and wild weather

Google’s premature ‘call-off’ of Sunday’s footy game at Optus Stadium has been corrected.

Maric and Gov the only two who had a crack in the first half last week.

Hall needs more time. I thought he was pretty poor and, a much worse sign, pretty timid a few times last week. Hardly papers stamped areas, just think the week off is ok.

Maric though….hmm…

 

[Boohemian]

Petrucelle is a bum on a seat, but he doesn't make the side better. Absolutely mind boggling that he's in, Maric is out.

 

[sharps24]

Not going to lie, if Simmo had picked this team I'd be filthy. Genuine chance of an extremely important win for the clubs standing and morale and we started picking the side 3 weeks ago based on needing to give a bloke 2 away games to get him to some fictional 300 mark. As a consequence you squeeze out one of your best performed 19 year olds. No ideal but that's above Schofields head I think. Hall out is fine, got his 2 game debut block and showed some nice glimpses but time to go back to the twos and work on it. Ginbey from defence to gimp wing role surely isn't going to happen. Witherden getting another game when we are supposed to be ringing through 10 list changes in the off season also not a good sign. Win the game and they're all brilliant selections. Lose and we riot.

I think these games aren't programmed into the fixture until quite late. Always tbc. Likely it just hasn't been updated since the original fixture release.

Maybe Maric is safe for next year and Petch is fighting for a spot?

Petch is contracted next year so I don’t think he’s on the chopping block this year.

 

[RookiePick]

Absolute bulls**t that Hall is out.
We have lost our f**king way.

He's had a taste. He can come back bald as an egg next year and dominate like he's some sort of Chris Judd and Ablett Jnr mashup.

Hall was pissweak last game. He needs to go back to the WAFL and work on not ball watching.

Haha fair enough. Maric going out doesn't bother me. If he was in another team he'd be getting a couple of ganes here and there going back to the seconds to work on stuff. Most of our young blokes should be doing this except we're having to keep playing them due to some big holes in the playing list.

Edit. Hall didn't have a good game and deserved to be dropped, I'll agre with that.

 

[Keys]

If we lose it won’t be because of selections. Bring Maric back in at the expense of Witherden or Edwards and the team is fine

I don’t like that he’s been omitted but it’s not something that will change the result

 

[MeltMan]

Shake your head your head?

Every time i have ever looked like an tool, it was intentional and for comedic effect

 

[BeornJ]

I am Witherden
And I'm so ill
This is a warning I can't be killed

 

[MeltMan]

lol out loud

ATM Machine, although that one can be correct in the right? context

Sad but true

 

[Ghossein]

Maric out because of wet weather + bringing in HEdwards (extra height) - it makes sense. He's still an important part of our future.

Petch may end up as the sub

 

[squashface]

Maric could feel stiff because he was decent v Norf but him out for balance is fine.

Hall was trash so him out is fine too.

Should win.

 

[kerrazy]

I'd like to know what the MCs thoughts are on witherden, an absolute spud of the highest order. And why he was prioritised over Maric.

I pretty much said this exact thing earlier and you didn't like my comment....You slag!!

What's with Hall and Maric being dropped?
