    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    Purple Reign and The Restump independently I think. I agree that the rest of his game was fairly good. His Cat 10 tackle looked crude and careless both live and on TV. Not your typical tackle that slips high.

    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    Just trying to keep Jackson proximal to the play for as many minutes as possible. Probably not the best or most likely solution to the two A grade ruckman dilemma, likely to arise in a few weeks.

    Welcome Welcome Josh Draper!! - 2022 Cat B Rookie List

    Potential to develop into an A grader in the next few seasons. The feature of his game that impressed me most was clean handling of ground balls in traffic. Seemed able to assess the ball drop from aerial contests and gather without fumbling.

    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    On a couple of the Freo Podcasts it was noted that Hughes has a penchant for Cat10 errors early in 1st Quarters. The solution - start Hughes on interchange until the initial heat goes out of the game. Has merit?

    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    Tabs stays. Could’ve should’ve kicked 4. Let’s say 3. Was also useful with his work outside the arc in Q4.

    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    Sadly some of the potting of Walker appears to be personal. Nothing to do with his ability or performance.

    Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

    Judging from the weirdness of the suggested team changes there must have been an excess of celebratory alcohol intake following yesterdays game.

    Review Freo storm home against North

    I thought our defence held up well considering the ease with which North were able to run the ball through the middle of the ground in the first half. Clark, Pearce and Ryan all excellent. Walker made a really good return and Draper did enough to show he belongs. Must also give some praise to...

    Preview 2024 Round 2 Freo v Roos

    Need to select a young tall defender this week. No point in improvising with Hughes/Ryan when a long term solution is required.

    We’ll know a bit more tomorrow when the injury list comes out. I expect both to be TBA. I note that Freddy only had 65% Tog. Being managed? Hopefully just precautionary.

    Prediction Rd 1 (you know: the first round after the opening round) team

    I think Worner has looked pretty good in the pre season. No other realistic options anyway. Always feel a sense of depression when Hughes and Banners appear on the team sheet. A bit unfair I know as both always give it their best shot.

    2nds Peel Thunder 2024 Season

    I would assume that we will have a solid hit out at a training session tomorrow. The judgement maybe that Walker, Sharp and Wagner are all in contention for the Brisbane game and need some competitive match practice. Knobel, Williams,Etc will definitely be starting at Peel.

    I was quite impressed with Worner last Friday. Gave a lot of run out of defence. Hughes on the other hand has never ever given any. Gives it everything in the contest though.

    Chapman needs a solid block of games at Peel before coming under consideration for best 22.

    If we get McDonald we could maybe use him as a tall defender, thus avoiding a forward structure where the opposition are free to walk the ball out.

    Chapman is in danger of being an over rated player because he never gets to play.

    Re Tabs v Treacy Tabs’ early years were difficult in that he played in a totally Pavcentric forward line. Treacy has not had that degree of competition for forward entries. I think it’s well made point of which player complements Amiss the better.

    Disposal efficiency for defenders is misleading. Mostly they’re chipping it to each other. Wagner I imagine was tasked with moving the ball forward, Clark having the lockdown role vacated by Walker. No chipping back and sideways.

    Training Preseason 2024

    Shouldn’t really be judging O’Meara on the basis of last year. Most of the list were down on expected output. And rarely does a new addition to the list make a significant impact, more so with experienced players whom we are expecting so much from. This season will be the telling one for O’Meara. ‘

    Am a bit of a Sturt sceptic - sorry to say. But loved the photo of him kicking in today’s gallery. Don’t think I’ve ever seen such perfect symmetry and balance on completion of the kicking action.

    Zurhaar size, skill and aggression would be a good fit for us. Don’t know about character. Might not fit with our 42 angels.

    Jackson definite potential game breaker. I want to include Freddie. Not hard to remember some of his plays that have turned games at critical moments.

    There is a stat for forward line go to players. I would guess for us it is long bomb, Walters, Amiss/Tabs. Was Schultz. Others oft ignored - even Freddie.
