Prediction Changes Swans V Dogs 3.20pm Sunday 28/7/24

[X_box_X]

Half of the Sydney game preview is just them already complaining about the umpires and how hard done by they are. How pathetic, the victim complex on them is amazing and they don't even realise it, have some shame...

TBF, that was like us last week before the Geelong match.

Difference is, we had a point whereas based on last year's match at the SCG, they couldn't have received a better ride. I rank that #1 on my list of worst WB matches umpired since I started giving a damn.

They ripped us to pieces early with their foot skills last time.
When their kicking dropped off we were back in it

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Surprised to see who we’ve left out.

 

[Doggy]

Well didn't see that coming

In: C.Daniel, R.Garcia, L.Jones
Out: R.Sanders (managed), J.Macrae (managed), J.Freijah (managed)

 

[Astro_]

Happy with those changes.

Go Dogs!

 

[Oliver G]

All 3 managed, perhaps we are concerned about the short turnaround.

Evidently so

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Not the changes I was expecting. Still a decent 23 though. Presume Daniel will the sub.

Does feel like more of a soft dropping than managed for these guys. Will be interesting to see how many get straight back into the 22 against Melbourne.

 

[RWnBluey]

Freijah

 

[Bald]

Looks a very chips in approach with Daniel and Jones in. Not unhappy with the changes but maybe a little short on pace, not that any of the outs give a lot of if outside of Freijah a bit.

For Freijah and Sanders I definitely see managed. The game v Geelong was a muddy slog, probably could do with the longer recovery given the quick turnaround coming up.

In no way would Freijah be a soft dropping, played well last week

Garcia isn't slow

 

[Doggies7]

Understandably asking 1st year players in Sanders and Freijah to back up this late in the season after an interstate trip on a 5 day break might have been a big ask, so taking the conservative route... Like the ins and we have a solid team, will be very tough still but no excuses.

 

[Dogsfan1]

Yeah he is 18 played all of the games nearly probably just needs a rest

 

[Snarls Barkley]

So did all the defenders to be fair. Someone was going to be very unlucky to be replaced but Jones had to come in

 

[Next Waiting]

Well didn't see that coming

In: C.Daniel, R.Garcia, L.Jones
Out: R.Sanders (managed), J.Macrae (managed), J.Freijah (managed)

I thought Macrae would play. Only on for 10 mins last week. What do I know.

Seems likely all 3 of the managed will play against Melbourne. Been wrong before though.. very recently in fact.

 

[Angak]

Manged is the new dropped

This is the danger as I see it. Sydney have a lot of quick, very skillful players and if they're allowed to get their running chains going they'll be very dangerous. We will need the 4 quarter pressure we applied against Geelong to stifle their run.

We haven't been the type to list players as managed of late, in fact this is the first time in almost 2 years we've officially listed anyone as "managed"...

Managed Players Since 2021 GF
R3 2022 - Crozier - played VFL the following week
R8 2022 - Bontempelli - played AFL the following week
R9 2022 - Martin - did not play VFL or AFL for several months
R22 2022 - Bruce - played AFL the following week
R20 2024 - Freijah, Macrae, Sanders

 

[SackofTaters]

I'm disappointed to not see Freijah play, but having Garcia in ( and not as a f'in sub, praise Marcus ) warms my loins..

's worst seven opponents (in terms of average disposals) are all interstate teams. The only interstate team he historically performs well against are the WCE.

That makes his inclusion even more bizarre.

Not very often that we play late Sunday then Friday night the next week though.

Bizarre scheduling ny the AFL.

 

[Bald]

Garcia isn't slow

Did I say he was, did I?

 

[House_of_Dahl]

I'm OK with Freijah being out. He's been doing great for a late pick first year player, beyond expectations, but he isn't in the bests yet and we are near to full strength atm.
