Preview Round 20 Richmond vs Fremantle @ Optus Stadium, Sun 1st August, 5.10pm

[beema limapep]

Yet has only recieved just 10 coaches votes for the entire year and will most likely not finish top 4-5 in freo B & F in a year where there are very few that have played the entire season and have had an injury depleted side all year.

You can get the stats but the coaches view i think is more important

Why would their coach vote for him if he openly has said he wants to come home to Vic?

He has not said anything of the sort

And he got votes last week its the rest of the games he didnt
also both coaches give votes

 

[YeOldTiger]

If he is in the team this week it will be his 150th game, he played 18 games in 2018 with us, did he play finals?

Conca can't be named in the team this week as he has elected not to stay in Freo's bubble for personal reasons. He will play for Peel Thunder this week.

Quote the controversy surrounding Reece this week:

'Totally inaccurate': Longmuir bristles at Conca snub theory

The Fremantle coach isn't happy with suggestions Reece Conca hasn't been picked due to a contract trigger

Ffs Garth and Chol on field. Ridiculous that we persist with Garth given he'll be delisted in a month, and that we won't play CCJ despite showing more in four matches than Chol has in 30.

Looks like Prestia and Caddy in for Aarts and Pickett to me. We'll see tomorrow.

I really like Garth as a depth player, his endurance and size make him very versatile, he can play back and forward but could be best suited to playing McIntosh's wing roll.
In a league with a salary cap you need low cost reliable depth and as a medium tall he is perfect for that role. His work rate also provides great leadership in the VFL and with Astbury and Grimes not too far away from retirement Garth is a keeper for me until Biggy or the next recruit has passed him by

 

[RJK Tiger]

why blind freddie can see he lacks fitness to see him last 4 quarters of on ball high pressure footy and was given a crack while shedda, cotch and meat were dealing with injury

Because as i said earlier, his impact despite the tank issues far surpasses that of some of the others we are playing. I mean, at worst - shouldn't he be out Medical sub if tank is his big issue?

 

[jc12]

I hate twitter but rfc has put up a ripper tweet

lel they even said "chance" because there is still a chance he will ping a string in the warm up

I feel for him though the guys who are the bulkier types are more prone to the string

garths kicking action requires him like 3 mins to prepare for his ball drop LOL , if he is on the wing he might set a record for most amount of times tackled in a game

Clear indication after the game.
Cerra gets 5 votes from Dimma despite us winning by 10 goals.

For sure.If you can guarantee we won't cop and injury before 3/4 time.

I like Garth, I think he's showing good signs.

I’m happy with the potential ins so far, I think Miller having a go at the top level is a good call.

I would like to see Chol stay in and instead see Castagna or Aarts make way for CCJ. On form you can't justify keeping Castagna over Chol when Chol kicked 4 two weeks ago. Playing 4 big tall’s in the forward line is something we have hardly seen so why not try it out against a shell of a Fremantle side?

Prestia is a big IN (fingers crossed he doesn't get re-injured) and will hopefully help easy some of that midfield pressure.

 

[Cdog71]

Hmmmn. Don't think so, he's named on the ground. Assuming that means something??

edit. Yeah so is Garth so if it does, Miller wont play either.

Out: CCJ Caddy Dow Miller. I would love to see Caddy and Dow come in for Aarts and George though but not likely.

If your names on the ground you have to start on the ground.
Not necessarily the position but definitely lining up somewhere

It looks like Dusty has faked his injury so that he could compete in the Rowing for Croatia at the Olympics:



He has just won a Bronze Medal to add to his 3 Norms & a Brownlow

Can’t believe he faked a injury just to compete in the olympics
What a man.

D Martin snuck in a cheeky little tour de France too.

To bump up his trade value?

 

[sante]

Stack named in VFL

 

[footyistherealwinner]

Castagna and Aarts named on the extended VFL bench as well. Has it finally happened?

 

[Sol23]

If stack get dropped that’s an absolute disgrace.

 

[fargothegreat]

If stack get dropped that’s an absolute disgrace.

I think this is unlikely. We've just named our whole extended bench in the VFL side (as we've done previously). The only way Stack could possibly be dropped is if we elect to go taller in defence and debut Miller, and that seems very unlikely imo.

It’s Friday melts time

 

[Sol23]

What a joke
This on you Dimma for having way too much faith in some absolute spuds.
Can’t expect a different result with the same recipe you imbecile.
