Prediction Round 8, 2024: Changes vs Essendon

[Miguel Sanchez]

Annoying that we’ll be coming off a six-day break facing a side that played Thursday.

yup thanks corrupt AFL

After the longest travel in the league. Putrid scheduling really

 

[bzparkes]

Teams coming off the shorter break actually win more often, supposedly.

 

[UseR2006]

In: Reid, Barrass, Long, Johnston.

Out: Sheed, Brockman, Witho, (unsure on the 4th maybe chess or ledwards).

 

[KERRPOW]

I like Brockman but he hasn't been doing enough so a stint at WAFL level will help. Long an easy swap

I agree, barring that dreadful set shot hes a one touch, silky player.

4 possessions is just not acceptable. Given we have personnel available, he should be dropped based on the last 2 performances.

Essendon have a full 2 days extra rest tho

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Gotta go 3 talls down back with Essendons extra tall forward line. Id like HEdwards to man up on Wright to leave Barass to a guy like Cox and McGovern to take one of the resting rucks. Im happy enough for Sheed to keep being the sub. Dont like when a younger player is in that role. Chesser and L Edwards can get a week or two in the WAFL for now also. Forward line feels a bit too tall at present so wouldnt mind putting Darling in the old managed role this week

IN : Reid, Barass, Long
OUT: Darling, Chesser, LEdwards

Cox has been playing in defence, you might be thinking of Jones, they also have Langford who plays tall

Make that 3 days

 

[KERRPOW]

Make that 3 days

What a farcical, commercial, biased como we have

 

[Cuzz09]

We should have 3 pretty fresh decent players to come back in HR, TB and Longy so that helps.

Also we only really played 3 qtrs lol

By the way, Our bye isn't until round 14.
Fun times.

Are you planning to play all of Barrass, McGovern, Edwards and Rotham in the backline, or do you still think Rotham signed with Adelaide?

Just a 'quirk' of the fixture, mate.

 

[UseR2006]

It's challenging, not compromised.

Funny the Pies seem to have a quirkless fixture. Every year.

Let’s hope so as we play both the Hawks and Roos at home the week after they have the bye. WTF is that

 

[bzparkes]

Nah, that's the draft

Worth resting BW this week?

Bring in Barnett and tell him this is your big shot bruh

[stallon]

There is definitely room for H.Edwards, TB, Gov and Rotham to play against the Bombers, 2 tall forwards + Langford + a ruckman.

In: Reid, Long, TB
Out: L.Edwards, Brockman, Witho

Could also drop Sheed and leave Brockman as sub, I dont know how serious the MC is about getting Sheed back as a regular in the 22. Id like to think Sheed at the least needs a full game, WAFL might be the place for him for now

Against the Bombers who run 2 rucks Goldstein and Draper, lol I dont think this is the week to throw Barnett in the deep end

 

[Cainozz]

IN: H.Reid, Barrass, Long
OUT: Sheed, H. Edwards, Brockman

Wouldn’t drop J.Williams when we need him to support BBW in the ruck. Essendon are a quick running side so unfortunately Sheed is out for me. Don’t want to take too many changes also.

Rotham on Stringer
Barass on Jones
McGovern on Draper
Hedwards on Wright

Matches up just right... unless you wanna chuck Hough on Draper or Stringer?

 

[bradee]

Ins:Reid,Barrass,LongJohnstone(form at wafl has been good,and want to see what we have to work with)

Outs:Sheed(He's done,don't want to see him back in unless truckload of injuries),H Edwards, Brockman (lost patience with him)L Edwards (doesn't do enough)
