Preview Changes and Pre Match Discussion vs. Dockers

[Heaps of fun]

I'm sure Daz won't mind if I quote him in here, but it seems pertinent given that LA seems to be in the mix:

Well you shouldn't mind me quoting you this headline from afl.com.au:
Six clubs at LA combine
Perhaps more valuable than we realise?

 

[CharlieMortdecai]

Well it is definitely not a good thing.

No, no it's not. Need to get some of those young blokes up to speed I reckon.

 

[Moti]

Would think the Dockers will have McPharlin on Petrie, Dawson on Daw and Johnson on Black. We will need a perceptive and quick decision making coaching panel to keep refreshing the match up we wNt to exploit throughout the match.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Daw would flog dawson, just need the supply.

 

[NO_CSG]

Anthony is from W.A. yeah?

Are we sure the club has booked a return ticket for him?

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Dawson will be on Black.

Don't wanna go starting a thread about it, but the word is we have no banner been brought over for this game, bit sad if true

If I have understood you correctly after this post went through a translation app, we don't have a banner. Surely, in the ANZAC spirit, Freo will help us out? We could pretend the purple is royal blue.

Confirmed the train carrying the banner derailed

I like it, every time we've lost this year the game started with us running through a banner. Genius.

More forward thinking by North. Just watch the Bulldogs jump onto this one!

[GarnerSmash]

Surely McKenzie as sub.

 

[Groucho]

Surely McKenzie as sub.

Certainly hope its not Nahas. He has to start on the ground to hopefully provide us with some spark and defensive forward pressure.

[Benno_900]

Freo's changes ...

IN: Crozier, Sheridan
OUT: Ballantyne, Taberner

They've gone with a change of structure with one less tall up forward. Interesting.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Crozier is a huge Perrie candidate.

 

[giantroo]

Crozier is a huge Perrie candidate.

First thing that popped to my mind as soon as I saw his name.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Like the unforced changes. MCkenzie sub, good luck Joel and robbie!

 

[Heaps of fun]

Crozier is a huge Perrie candidate.

Get on Robin Nahas for the bizarro world Perrier.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Congratulations to Joel, and great to see Majak, Jack and Nahas back. Predictable changes but not less welcome for that - with Wells and Thommo as forced outs, that's about as good a team as we'd want.

Mullet named on the bench as a warning? Would have McKenzie as sub this time - give him a break and Nahas a real go.

 

[Benno_900]

Surely McKenzie as sub.

Not sure why Bon would flat out lie about Anthony coming in instead of Nahas.

Probably a late inclusion as sub for Thomas?
