Unofficial Preview Changes vs Freo: Cloke, Brown and Aish in, team in OP

[surfer1]

I would be very disappointed this week to see a side without Cloke or Nathan Brown in it.

Personally I'd do:

In: Cloke, Brown, Goldsack, Aish
Out: Witts, Frost, Smith, Crocker

I've been against it so far, but I think this could be the week to swing Howe back up forward. With Marsh, Goldsack, Brown and Reid, there would be no need for Howe in defence.

For me I would say Aish for Sinclair and Goldsack for Blair other 2 I am fine with. It won't happen but I would also have Caff for Greenwood

Here's the Dockers injury list;



The constant excuse coming out of our club now is that injuries are the reason why we aren't even competitive.

CAN'T USE THAT EXCUSE THIS WEEK SORRY.

That was last week, add Tanner Smith (6-8 week hammy) Brady Grey 6 week ankle) , Matthew Uebergang (TBC hammy) & Matt DeBoer (4-6 week knee) to that list.

We've played well against average teams the last 3, 6 day break might hurt with your mob coming off a bye. I'm hopeful bu expect you to win by 3-4goals.

Jon Griffin might be a chance at returning this week which would help us, otherwise Jack Hannath comes in which is good for you guys!

Anthony Morabito injured?? That's a surprise.

Yep, Port are an average team, yet they still beat us by 11 goals, so this game will probably be a case of whoever wants it more wins, because it won't be high quality.

Yep, he's their Scharenberg.

Just saying that the injury lists look very similar, so injuries can not be used as an excuse this week, even if it is the consistent club message at the moment.

But he been out lot longer then Scharenberg

Agree.
2016 we are supposed to have:
- a gun midfield, dominating games
- a great young ruck combination, ready to take on the best
- solid defence with a fit & firing Ben Reid back
- more goal kicking options...Cloke, Fasolo, Moore, White, Elliott, Swan, Sidebottom
- new recruits Treloar, Aish & Howe...the icing on the cake

A lot has gone wrong & it ain't just injuries...

 

[TradeDraft]

Shocking Weather is said to be a Good Chance

 

[MagpieBat]

As bad as we are, we'll win this and probably win it well.

[surfer1]

Just can't understand that so many are omitting Smith

I made an error with my team.
Meant to have Sinclair out and Smith stay in.

 

[MagpieBat]

Yes, but against other poor teams.

As bad as we are, if we decide to actually turn up, we will win...

 

[mike123]

Just can't understand that so many are omitting Smith

Because he's an average skilled plodder.

and that would make him different to most of the rest of our list how exactly?

Never said he was special. Just it doesn't bother whether he plays or not.

me either

 

[jackcass]

Sier is a big strong kid. Try him in the forward line as a quick leading forward. He's 190cm and apparently strong and quick. Not sure if he can take a mark, but why not develop him in the VFL to play a role we need in the future.

Out with a broken arm I think.

 

[Maggie5]

So IF both have Poor 2nd Half you be up for Possibly Trading Both and Getting New Rucks Maggie5?

I hope that the Club will have enough sense to employ an experienced ruck coach.

Sad when you have higher expectations of certain posters....

Injuries aren't THE reason, they're A reason. As is relative youth. As is relative (in)experience. As is relative team stability and capacity to maximise the output of the relatively inexperienced kid added to the team. As is relative leadership. As is the "who" is injured and their relative value to the team....

For the record, despite the relatively similar injury profiles, Collingwood last game were average age of 24 years 0 months, Freo last game were 25-7, Pies average games 62.3, Freo 105.4. Even then our age profile is skewed because we've got a 25yo international rookie playing his 8th game.

 

[jackcass]

Yep, he's their Scharenberg.

Bucks has steadfastly avoided dropping the "injury" excuse in any of the media I've heard him do, it's we supporters who suggest it's a factor.

 

[jackcass]

I hope that the Club will have enough sense to employ an experienced ruck coach.

As I repeatedly add to this comment...

Because we know neither Rendell or Rocca can do the job and clearly <insert prospective ruck coach name here> will be soooo much better...

 

[bunter]

But he been out lot longer then Scharenberg

yep, you could probably compare him to dan menzel. hope he has the same outcome that menzel has so far.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.
Are you saying the club boot studder can teach them?
