Opinion Changes v Freo

[Grave Danger]

He destroyed us in round 18 last year, so that will hopefully help us.

No, that was Dawson Simpson - Rory Lobb had a very Rory Lobb sort of a game.

And he's not going to get the fitness required for AFL playing in the SANFL.

I'll guarantee that Wines, Dixon and Hartlett will blow up in their first game back no matter how much running they do in the SANFL. If a player doesn't in their first game, it means they are obviously not working hard enough, because the difference in intensity is another level. And I'd rather he does it against Fremantle where we can park him in forward 50 and let Howard do the work when it happens, then against Geelong where we are going to need him fully fit.

This is highly unlikely though. We've never parked a KPF inside 50 and I don't expect us to start now. Charlie will be expected to work hard.

HIGH-PROFILE Fremantle recruit Rory Lobb has been ruled out for an extended period of time with a stress fracture in his right foot

I agree lets leave Dixon out of this one.

If he's blowing up, that's exactly what will happen. Not the whole game, just the last quarter. Hopefully we're in control of the match by then.

 

[Kingfish73]

I got a bad feeling about this game. Bringing back under done players notorious for turning the ball over and/or inaccurate in front of goal. Demons of last year perhaps as well....

Dixon and Hartlett big no from me. More games into them.

Howard should play where he would be of greatest value to the team. Right now, that's as a KPF. If Dixon returns, Howard's most valuable contribution will probably be in defence.

In: Charlie Dixon, Hamish Hartlett, Tom Rockliff, Ollie Wines
Out: Matthew Broadbent, Sam Gray, Jarrod Lienert, Riley Bonner

B: Ryan Burton ~ Tom Clurey ~ Darcy Byrne-Jones
HB: Tom Jonas ~ Dougal Howard ~ Hamish Hartlett
C: Xavier Duursma ~ Ollie Wines ~ Dan Houston
HF: Connor Rozee ~ Charlie Dixon ~ Steven Motlop
F: Robbie Gray ~ Paddy Ryder ~ Justin Westhoff
Fol: Scott Lycett ~ Sam Powell-Pepper ~ Travis Boak

I/C: Tom Rockliff ~ Zak Butters ~ Kane Farrell ~ Karl Amon

Wo

Rory lobb out for freo

w they are having some bad luck with injuries. Sounds like us earlier in the year. Wonder if the stadium surface has any part in it? Hope we don’t risk Dixon.

Bonner out after 3 goals and a 70 point win!! Nup
SGray will stay in ahead of Farrell
Not sure Hammer comes in yet
However after playing 9 defenders last week, which was something I would have never thought possible, who knows.
Really enjoying selection at the moment.

Geez, freo by 60+

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Charlie will be gassed by quarter time if we pick him.. so i expect Ken to pick him.

 

[Coobk001]

Alex Pearce is the big loss for the Dockers. Him being out is a huge bonus for us.

 

[Rexie J]

Wines and Dixon should not be 'ins' against Freo considering their respective leg injuries.

B in L who is a Freo nut says the genuine inside word is the Perth deck is like concrete.

No reason to risk two (hopefully) influential players in the next part of the season.

Wines in but Chuck needs another run with the maggies I reckon.

OK but was thinking leg injuries and jarring on a hard deck may not be great in the medium to long term but I guess we will see.

Stress fractures ??

 

[Duck Farmer]

Nothing is more certain than Frampton out for Dixon. Kenny hates Billy and loves Chuck.

 

[Andre]

Opposition down on rucks and tall defenders.

Stretch their Defense? Exploit the oppositions weakness? What sort of s**t would that be?!

Selection night - Ken: ‘The pressure acts! The pressure acts! Stay small! .... Unless you guys have an idea of how to go smaller ??’

Frampton didn't play in China. He was already out.

 

[AwwThatsApples]

I wouldn't want to risk Dixon at Perth, but Wines should be ready, he hasn't been off football for as long and I think he will be eager to come back in.

 

[Us against the rest]

I would bring in Garner and Drew, not sure who makes way though.
Will Ebert & Rockliff be available?

Sounds like Ebert will play SANFL.

 

[Forzaport]

Wines and Dixon are as ready as they're going to get. 1 extra week in the SANFL isn't going to make any difference. They need AFL minutes now.

 

[Us against the rest]

Sounds like Ebert will play SANFL.

We are going to have a selection nightmare, should we, shouldn't we.

If the light show doesn’t give you a seizure the playing arena will strip the calcium straight out your bones. #soperthlikesoperth
