Prediction Round nine, team changes for the saints

[AmericanMustard]

Out: Reid, Wills, WHE
In: Cox, Beams, Wells

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Back to a pragmatist approach to changes.

Questions to ask:

1. Firstly who is or might be injured?
2. Who is or might returning and be available?
3. Reserve playing types that are calling out for selection?
4. How many changes are we in the habit of making?
5. Which players on form are vulnerable?
6. Which players due to “auto returning” players are hence vulnerable?

Answers:

1. Mayne (concussion); Thomas (leg)
2. Beams, Aish, Cox, Sier (if VFL form is strong tomorrow)
3. Wells (maybe he’s ready - unknown); Crocker, Quaynor, Lynch, Varcoe, Goldsack.
4. One or two seems the norm unless forced changes - suggest maximum is two, unless forced.
5. Wills, Reid
6. Greenwood, Reid and Wills (also see answer 5.)

This draws me to the conclusion that both Cox and Beams will return. The players missing will be Reid and Wills.
Though we must monitor the concussion of Mayne and the leg of Thomas.
Otherwise a reprieve may be in order.

Will Beamer be back next week? Bucks didn't mention him in the after match presser

I’d suggest absolutely.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

How bad is Thomas's ankle? Might need someone in for him too.

Varcoe

 

[swoop42]

Probable omissions.
Out: Reid, Wills
In:Cox, Beams

Possible omissions.
Out:Thomas, Mayne(inj)
In:Wait and see what transpires in the VFL tomorrow.

 

[Horaceg]

In Beams, cox
Outs Mayne Reid

I think this might be right, hate to say it because I’m a huge fan of Reid.

 

[Horaceg]

If Wells has another good game tomorrow, he should be in next week. Also hoping Sier gets through unscathed.

There’s the cherry on top of the cake.

 

[Horaceg]

Looked like concussion/KO?

Was hit head high so that was my presumption

Mayne a little wobbly, friendly fire.

 

[anshell]

I doubt if Mayne would play next week.Players who are concussed are rarely if ever risked the following week.

 

[Apex36]

Didn’t realise Mayne has concussion. Revise my changes:

Out: Reid, Wills, Mayne
In: Beams, Cox, Varcoe/Wells/other(decision pending outcome of VFL)

I think Aish will need a run in the two’s now before coming back in. He’s been out with Concussion for what, a month now?

 

[Horaceg]

I’m back after a little thought, how good is Wells? He is old but he has serious football ability and still younger than Ablett.

 

[PicaBoo]

We hammer Reid yet he had 3 less disposals than Wills and people want to give Wills another run?

Just let that sink in.

Perhaps worth mentioning too that Reid had his 9(!) disposals in 91% TOG where as Wills did his 12 in 51%.

 

[Robroy22]

Perhaps worth mentioning too that Reid had his 9(!) disposals in 91% TOG where as Wills did his 12 in 51%.

They're both just depth anyway.

 

[PicaBoo]

They're both just depth anyway.

True but one at the end and one at the start of his career.

 

[Robroy22]

True but one at the end and one at the start of his career.

Sorry Pica....but I doubt that very much

You’d be dissatisfied as Phillips was terrific and is bolted in the side.

 

[jefffff34]

Does anyone know how many possessions Treloar had in the last quarter? I was sure he hadn’t cracked 20 by 3qt.

13. See attachment.

 

[jefffff34]

In: Beams (if fit), Aish (if head right), Cox (if fit), Wells
Out: Mayne (inj), Greenwood, Reid, Wills

 

[magpies42]

I’d like to see Jordy rested, bucks said he’s carrying something. Don’t want him to break down.

 

[Kirby]

The Reid v Cox debate was settled.

 

[Markfs]

He's still popular, just not good enough any more to get a regular game.

Unfortunately, his body has really let him down. He's shown a lot of heart to get back where he is, but he's past it now.

I tend to agree. He has aged terribly in the last week. I was going to say something yesterday but i decided that he deserved another game...

bucks also said he was an alpha male so he's probably carrying his big dong... thats enough for me for one night

 

[magpies42]

The Reid v Cox debate was settled.

Is this your own thought? Do you have anything to back up your assertion? Or is this just another post for the sake of the statistic?

 

[Yidaki]

The Reid v Cox debate was settled.

Not sure there was even a debate to begin with to be honest.
