Prediction Round 6, 2023 : Changes vs Port Adelaide

[Astro7]

With all the TBC's and longer term injuries, the back half of the season is looking great!?
Presuming we don't keep on having rolling injuries game after game?

On another topic, anyone else notice Ginbey's chicken legs? (still growing+building)

This is a key problem I have with shoving first year players on the inside. With them potentially still growing and their muscles, ligaments and tendons adjusting to that imo it's pure stupidity. Now if the kid has stopped growing at 15 then sure, but Ginbey clearly isn't fully physically developed and is copping a hammering because he's a hard nut who will give it his all no matter what.

 

[Chris_6678]

Cant we play Ginbey down back for a couple of games? That was mooted pre-season as a roation with Shuey?

Sooooooo Noah and??

Can I put an entire concept on ignore? Because I'd rather find out about the latest injuries on game day (which is already going to suck) than have every day ruined.

Yeah it’s just multiple threads of injuries now

Wow

When it rains it pours

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Geez where does that leave us?

In: Jamieson\Barnett, Bazzo, Shuey, West (into 22)
Out: Williams, Yeo, Long, Ginbey

Backs: Barrass, Bazzo, Rotham, Witherden, Duggan, Hough, Jones
Mids: Kelly, Shuey, Culley, Gaff, Hunt, Clark
Rucks: Jamieson/Barnett, Waterman
Forwards: Allen, Darling, Petch, SPS, West, O’Neill, Edwards
Sub: Trew
Emergencies: Barnett/Jamieson, Foley, Dewar

Toss up which of Barnett or Jamieson they want to risk at AFL level this week.

Sunday WAFL game means all three AFL emergencies can play, luckily because there’s literally no one else left.

Let me guess, you slept in your own bed last night?

Just clone Waterman and play him in every position and we'll be fine.

If only we had a big bodied mature inside mid we could play there to give Ginbey a rest, instead of making him play on the wing…

Na that’s crazy talk.

Simmo reads this and is all like "ye gods man, why didn't I think of that? Gaffy, come on down!"

Gaff don’t play on the wing anymore remember? He’s the BBIMWBLF

Ok it's confirmed to me now we are tanking especially with Hurn being out for general soreness when he didn't even play last week.

I see what's happening again. Club is low-key tanking for draft picks. Be prepared everyone because these injuries will be happening every week now. They may or may not even be injuried at all. I guess they can't just come out and say hey everyone we are tanking now can they. It is the only way to rebuild so it sucks but we have to lose and lose a lot this year for that prize recruit.

But at the same time for us supporters it's a bit crap going to our games. Who is still turning up lol. Losing interest in footy already and it's only round 5.
Might go mow the lawns on the weekend.

One thing is for sure though is a huge cull is going to happen this season. Expect plenty of retirements and delistings.

Even if we were tanking (which we're not) we're very unlikely to do it by not playing a ruckman, that's just asking for one of our young guys to get seriously injured doing something they've barely trained for.
Besides, we're saying Hurn has general soreness, he's probably actually got a 4 week ankle injury or something

Yeah but it doesn't mean we are faking every injury. We have plenty of legit injuries for sure and Williams would be one but I don't think Hurn is injuried. I also think the club is adding extra weeks onto injuries just because who gives a crap. Yeo for example could be good in 4 weeks but we would probably keep him out for 8 weeks. This type of thing is going on to ensure we are weak. Every injury will have double time on the sidelines from here on during the season. It makes sense to rest players for longer.

Also why would we want to win. We need the number 1 pick. There's only one way to get it. That's by losing now.

Nah, think you're off the mark. We're already crap enough and have enough injuries without faking extra injuries and potentially having to expose kids that aren't even close to being AFL ready

Hurn rumoured to be avoiding playing to focus on the approaching salmon from the south west.
