Boak most likely out? SPP should come straight in.

Lets play a hobbled Boak corpse and drop Jed instead.

Unironically, have you never heard of El Cid?

 

[MALTSY]

Boak and Jones out
Wines and SPP in

 

[Marmozet]

Hinkley just said on Roaming Brian that SPP and Wines will come back in.

Hinkley just said on Roaming Brian that SPP and Wines will come back in.

And in case anyone was wondering Jed will be in

 

[backtozero]

If McEntee can't get until the double digit disposals in a smashing like that then he really has no hope. The only player on our team with less than 8 disposals was Boak.

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

Jed out, SPP in
Boak out, Wines in

Willie and DBJ up forward, add a hungry SPP. All of a sudden we seem to have the numbers to match our high inside 50 game plan.

 

[Visenfest]

Out: McEntee, Boak, Jones
In: SPP, Wines, Sinn

 

[Phar Ted]

Really need to give Dixon a spell, Finny, Marshall and Georgie is a far better balanced group of tall forwards.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Out: Jones, McEntee
In: Wines, Powell Pepper

Bergman moves back to the backline

 

[RossFC]

IN: Wines, SPP, Williams
OUT: Dixon, McEntee, Jones

Burgoyne sub again, maybe a quarter of AFL, and he can also play reduced minutes in the SANFL a day later.

 

[PJ Power]

Out: Boak (inj)
In: Wines

Out: McEntee
In: SPP

Out: Jones
In: Williams

 

[jac147]

Is Scully a chance to replace an obvious out of form and injured Dixon? Silly me the Chad will never let that happen. Other obvious changes, Jones out and Williams in, Boak (injured) out for Wines in and SPP to replace McEntee.
But the Dixon situation is concerning
Down the track, Soldo will need to be rested so a window may open for Sweet.

 

[Capital Power]

Saturday night at home against a possible top 4 opponent? Hmmm...

Need to keep some momentum going, so likely to be forced changes only. SPP and Wines for Boak and McEntee.

Not sure how that leaves us on the wing. Burgoyne perhaps, or Williams - why was the latter not even emergency vs Essendon, is he still injured? Might leave Mead to be the last left out, likely sub.

 

[Gryllis]

Don't think they'll have Burgoyne as sub for a third game in a row. So he'll either take Boak's starting wing role or go out.

With SPP back and MG working alongside the other 3 (taller) talls, McEntee might get a game as sub. Whatever he brings to the team that we don't see, he can probably do from the bench.

 

[It Just Is]

How many rounds until we accept Dixon isn’t best 22 without rucking?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Out: Boak (inj)
In: Wines

Out: McEntee
In: SPP

Out: Jones
In: Williams

These are all good and extremely obvious changes. The last one won't happen. The middle one, I'm interested to see which much better player than McEntee we drop instead of McEntee. For maximum rage inducement, maybe Georgiades?

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Out Mead, Boak
In Wines, SPP

Not sure what they do if Boak is ok. I think they probably give him the week off anyway.

Mead got caught htb 3 or 4 times. Had some good moments but was otherwise a meh game.

They are never going to drop McEntee and unlikely to drop Jones.

 

[Jonts]

Presume Boak is fine

Out
Mead, Burgoyne (Mcentee to sub)

In
Wines, SPP

Personally I'd swap Sinn for Jones but can't see it happening

24 and he will missing a leg by them. Ken’s favourite pet!

 

[AflNerd22]

Don't know why everybody wants wines in so fast. Will give their defenders a field day with is dump kicks. I get boak is probbaly out this week but I would much prefer burgoyne to a starting 22. Then take out mcentee for SPP and move mcentee to sub. If boak is fine just swap mcentee for SPP

 

[Coobk001]

Burgoyne must play. He's our best and most natural winger. GET GAMES INTO HIM!!!

Wines for Boak (inj)
SPP for McEntee to sub - a man can dream.
Bergman back, Burgoyne wing, Jones out.
