A rare clash against the Hawks at the MCG.

The 2013 GF 10 year reunion for the Hawks to rub it in.

These are the type of games in Freo's history on the road against a lowly team we just roll over and get embarrassed.

 

[apuchar]

Reidy for someone. Not sure how many times we have to be shown we need 3 genuine tall forwards. Corbett at least gave us the third presence in the air in the forward line.
Erasmus I guess or Brodie for Jaeger. Won't help with our slow midfield but at least they both are reasonably accountable and bigger bodies.

 

[Freomaniac]

Keep Tom Emmett in the squad.

Don't care who comes in. Blood some kids and hand them debut games. What do we have to lose?

 

[bone2468]

Walters and Brodie In
Banfield & Omeara out

 

[wakojako]

This season is cooked. We need to trial Reidy to see how he performs with Jackson. I am sick of making Jacko solo ruck when Reidy is playing well at Peel.

Brodie in. If we’re doing to get burnt defensively I at least want someone who wins a clearance occasionally.

Bring Reidy in and leave Treacy forward

 

[TylerDurden]

What happened to JOM?

 

[s_wd6]

Brodie has to come in. The JOM inclusion ruined our midfield synergy from last year. Instead of Brodie doing the role that he excels at, his flaws became exposed and he's wasting away in the seconds.

Out: JOM, Banfield (both injured)
In: Brodie, Reidy
Reeves will monster Jackson in the ruck, need to bring in another ruck to help and allow Treacy to stay forward, he was absolutely gassed in the last quarter.

 

[Drizzy]

In: Reid/Walters and Brodie

Out: JOM, Banners

Sub: Erasmus

Sonny could also play sub if he‘s good to go and rather go with an extra ruck

 

[Superkoops]

Out: JOM, Banfield (both injured)
In: Brodie, Reidy
Reeves will monster Jackson in the ruck, need to bring in another ruck to help and allow Treacy to stay forward, he was absolutely gassed in the last quarter.

I second this. It is good selection for MCG as well as the added benefit of trying a new player before the season is out.

What a disappointing pick up he's been. And he gets put in the leadership group immediately so they can't even drop him either, wish we got to see Brodie in instead of JOM for at least few games this year.

 

[King Tenz]

OUT: JOM (Omitted), Banfield (Omitted)

IN: Brodie, Walters

 

[apuchar]

What happened to JOM?

Calf we think.

 

[Lach72]

Definitely a calf and Banfield has an AC joint injury

 

[Dockeroo]

This type of game has a 40 point beating for us written all over it. Historically we have been dire in these kind of matches. The biggest selection decision is weather the boys have mad Monday here in WA or back in Melbourne.

Hawks have been legit in the back end of the year, definitely not an easy game for us.

Yeah i am worried

I have nightmares from that final round St Kilda game a few years back in hobart.

Everything to play for and we tossed up that rubbish. While the saints weren't even in finals contention.

I reckon if Hawthorn show any intensity they probably win.

Hawks are the only team we haven't to lost too under JL.

They are due to beat us.

 

[BStaff17]

Beating GWS in Canberra last year is the only time we have won on the road in final round of the regular season.

Our previous 15 games on the road in the final round of the regular season have been losses.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Out: JOM (injured), Banfield (Injured)
In: Brodie, Corbett???

Don't mind that. Corbett plays the third tall role better than Banfield. Not sure what Brodie had to work on but it couldn't be any more than the ones already in there.

 

[Dockeroo]

Brodie deserves a game this week

 

[freo1997]

Brodie had awful disposal efficiency for Peel.

Over handballing something awful as well. Maybe he has been told his role is to be the extractor and get it out to Serong and Brayshaw. I don't know, but it has been ridiculous.
