Me too. Sheedy was the master of this, he always selected players against their former sides. Sport is a mind game and you strive for any competitive advantage you can get.
Who remembers Brodie coming on as sub and being the difference against Gold Coast last year?
I'm very keen to see Simpson, not sure about Voss though. It's dire if we think debutants will make any difference. Apart from R1, more than 1 debut in any game would be pretty cavalier by a match committee.
Liking the idea of Walters to sub.
Always been a big fan of Aish, but I have NFI what...
People around here were talking up Liam Ryan, Tim Kelly, Marlion Pickett, Nick Martin and others before they were drafted. Obviously there's umpteen others that were talked up who never made it or got a chance, but I want to know who people think have been overlooked and may be worth a chance...
Said it before and I’ll say it again. 4 different umpires means 4 different interpretations. We’ll never get consistency in umpiring.
And with Freo being an afterthought in this competition, we invariably get the work experience umpires which makes it worse.
We were the designated home team, yet everyone in the media were talking about the ‘Carlton V Freo’ match. It’s a small thing, but speaks volumes to me about our place in this heavily compromised ‘national’ competition.
My persistent 5yo son had me building lego during the second half, so I only had it on in the background. Meant I was less invested in this umpiring debacle.
The slime might be all time putrid right now (and let’s all just bask in that for a moment…) but let’s remember they beat Footscray last year ending their finals hopes, and Collingwood the year before that.
They’re going through what EVERY rebuilding team has gone through. They don’t need...
Hear what you’re saying, and this is the vent thread and all, but jeez I’d love us to blow a side apart one day. Not choke and restrict, but attack and score at will.
THEN we’ll know we’re premiership material.
