Unofficial Preview QF Freo v Sydney COLA swans

[Simmofreo]

So if it looks likely do we consider dropping Tabs?

Do we consider a wet weather player in deBoer? Hows Crozier in the wet?

I reckon don't mess with form. Remember the port game
Was supposed to be wet too. It can change in an instant. Our forward setup now looks scary, and if it's wet I think our smalls will take over anyway. I think we look better when Crozier plays the while game though. No idea who should be sub

Yeah I like our set up now also.

Could Duffield be left out?

Fyfe and Scos in
Suban and Duffield out

Hmmm still can't see another sub other then Crozier in this scenario, plus don't think we'd drop Duff.

Very tough week for selectors.

According to the forecast we should be ok weather wise, although this forecast isn't written in stone

Also I've never been there, but I was under the impression that ANZ had a roof?

 

[southfremantle]

Does anyone know which block our cheer squad is sitting in?

No way I'd be breaking up the master and apprentice.
Tabs appears pretty good at ground level,don't think the wet will hinder him.

 

[getgaff]

What a final this will be. Seriously considering going along as a neutral onlooker as I haven't experienced live AFL in Sydney yet. Would be a good introduction to it.

Usually at ANZ is E block.

Btw it is meant to rain, and ANZ is in an absolutely disgraceful state.

NRL have rucked it all up, tbh the AFL should step in, and not just look at the $$$$.

Not sure if the wet help either team more...

 

[McRobie]

Mzungu - Hanneberry, Crowley to Jack, the rest will sort itself out. I'd back Fyfe, Barlow and Mundy to match the size and intensity of Kennedy, Parker and co.

Their backline isn't that brilliant. Our forwards more than hold their own. Particularly with Walters in the team. The problem I foresee is our backline is going to struggle; Hawthorn coped, so can we.

Fyfe to jack? It's not 2013 anymore. He is prob our 6th best mid at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised if Parker gets tagged.

Was talking about this with a mate on Saturday, actually quite tough with Jack/Hannebery in meh form and Kennedy not really the type you'd tag. Reckon you're right about Parker.

Tbh why play him then?

Jack just not having an impact on the result but getting a fair bit of pill though. Hammers is a candidate but from memory has toweled up Crowley before so may not be worth wasting crowleys talents on someone who might beat him. I guess if he tagged Jack you would know he'd be out of the game as Crowley whacks him.

Bolded is incredibly strange, you sound like Nathan Buckley when talking about Ablett. Hannebery got the better of Crowley one time sure, I would back Crowley to beat him in a final though. Hanners kicked 3 goals in a half against him one time, we call those outliers. Parker is probably your best mid right now in terms of being a threat up forward so I think that will be the match up.

Who is going to run with Hill for the Swans? Bird?

Why strange? It's like when Rockliff got 47 touches on him the other day, what a waste...

Crowley tagged Hanley or however he is spelt. The Irish kiddie.

LOL oh jesus mate. Saves me the trouble of responding to you in the future I guess.

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

I think Crowley usually tags the best playmaker, who isn't always the best extractor.

The prior to that, go back and have a look.

Not the last game the one before. Good luck this weekend legend, hope you make the trip over...

That's correct, we leave guys like Lewis/Priddis/Rockliff alone because they have zero hurt factor.

Yeah, they can't hurt anyone if the ball they dig out ends up in our half.

 

[The Speaker]

The prior to that, go back and have a look.

He tagged Hanley in both games this year.

 

[McRobie]

He tagged Hanley in both games this year.

Ok well the match report I read said different, I apologise.

 

[Righteo]

Might just be best to comment only on games you've actually seen in the future rather than basing everything off stats and match reports.

 

[couldhavebeen]

Just a thought but would Clancee be a roughy for the sub in this game .
His strength in the clinches could be a real asset if the game is to be played on mud in the rain .
He has been playing well for Peel .
Another thought should we train at the Claremont show grounds because that ground is in poor quality and soft under foot just like the ANZ.

The best I can say is that both your thoughts have equal merit.
