Prediction Round 4, 2023: Changes vs Melbourne

[WCErevival]

Who is the second key back? I hope old man Hurn has taken his vitamins.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yeo might spend a bit of time back, I think.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Big fan of LEdwards and Culley getting a game. Sad about Petch.

 

[Goroyals22]

Hope L Edwards is over his injuries because if he has I’d be expecting him to secure a spot even at full strength

Looks pretty smooth at the top level from memory.

Probs be the sub.

XON very much at the crossroads.

 

[Bort Cummings]

Hard to be too critical given the injuries. Ideally would’ve had Petch instead of one of West or Ledwards, as we’re looking a bit one-paced as it stands. Still, keen to see how this plays out, as I reckon that barring NN, we’ve selected pretty much all our best tacklers in one 22.

 

[Bacchus]

Team would look much better balanced with both Petch and Rotham in.

Esp Rotham seeing we have only one kpd, and he is much better in the ruck than Waterman, and Williams needs help as he is under an injury cloud. Oh well it’s all academic as far as winning goes, but don’t know how all these one paced midfielders are going to play onball.

Probably best not to try and understand or explain it, just watch and see how the newer players go.

I agree. But be nice to see us with some extra mids for once. Many of the good teams have a lot of extra mids playing as forwards or backs and get rotated around and we have never had that amount of run. We should run out the game well at least. Scoring may be an issue esp with Darling not at his best.

Hope Long, Hewett and Ginbey get their first goal this week.

 

[Lia]

I don't mind the selections but I would have liked only one of West or Clark. Culley, Edwards and Hough are all ticks.

Give me Eleni as an umpire over Matt Nicholls by the way.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Happy with the changes.

As good as we could hope for, given the circumstances.

Good opportunities for the next month plus to see who's worth persevering with.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Excited to see Luke Edwards in the AFL again.
I think he will be a good player. Smart & evasive despite the lack of speed.
Can see a bit of Sam Mitchell in him.

Longy is already on the board

At 2:11

Didnt realise he kicked the ball i50 as well.

Impressive work rate for a young'n.

Edit. Nope, that's not what happened. Apparently I'm easily fooled by video editing!

I thought that as well the first time I watched that video but it’s just a editing coincidence that makes it appear he kicked the ball in

Look at the time clock in the top left, it’s two separate pieces of play

Oh brilliant. Somehow i missed that. Apologies to Longy. I thought he had been giving them all to Cripps

I mean yeah you could look at it that way but imo his ability to time travel is probably even more impressive than that i50 to start the play

[WestCoast05]

Tom Cole should've invited Eleni to his wedding.

Pretty selfish not to, tbh.

I read on the Freo board that Jack Darling was the maid of honour at Eleni's wedding and that's why Harley Bennell hurt his foot..

Or something like that

The imbalanced nature of the team tells me we're going for an old fashioned ambush. All for it.

With the selected personnel it looks like we're going to try to crash, bash and bludgeon our way to victory and I'm really looking forward to seeing how we go about it.

 

[peeky]

I think that the team looks decent. Would of rathered Petch and Rotham in but cant get everything.

Excited to see how Culley and L Edwards go. Also if SPS can cut it up again.

 

[FKASC]

Best team ever tbh

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Man i am excited for Hewett, i've been so high on him since mid last year and would of been wrapped if we drafted him before Ginbey.

Not expecting him to be the player i think he will be as an 18 year old.

But im telling you guys, he is HIM, has the it factor. He reminds me of Kerr a bit but he's got a nice balance of inside and outside to his game and has the ability to hit the scoreboard.

Such a good trade last year and the pieces falling our way to get both Ginbey and Hewett.
