Why not? The team is B22 bar Darcy, Treacy and Pearce.
Teams have had larger injury list and won. I don’t buy that excuse.
Still a fully fit midfield, with a fit defence.
Been a relatively good run with injuries this season apart from Cox and Pearce. Darcy just the usual unfit/slow burn.
Ryan
Serong
Sharp
Jackson
Brayshaw
Banfield
Young

Port Adelaide are on a great run right now and I don't see that stopping with us, our season is over, I think having as many spine players out as we do will be too costly.

We got close to GWS who’d beaten the lions by more the week before. We can definitely win it, just have to want it.

yeah, we'll see how much they care this week.
This will all be worth it in the 'Bailey the Redeemer' storyline conjured up by the gods to test our resolve, as he swallows his lucky pearl before torping one from 70 metres out after the siren, to secure our spot in the finals.
Carried off in the arms of the players as every spectator in Optus chants "BAILEY BAILEY BAILEY BAILEY"

Please leave Cox out, he is a liability without Pearce there to actually play on one of the opposition forwards. The selection committee need to send a message to players who are not putting in the required effort. It's no fair on the likes of Brayshaw and Serong, who give everything every week, only for others to put in weak efforts week after week.
We need to raise our standards, beginning at Thursday nights team selection.

The only appropriate ending to this bonkers season is that a WA team wins the flag from 8th with no home finals. The lowest ranked premier going into the final home and away round.
Manifest with me
They're away form is pretty misleading. Close wins against some real average teams. Dees and Saints by 2 pts and it wasn't the good version of the Saints. Carlton by 14 looked ok at the time, but Carlon's only wins in their last 7 have come against the bottom 3.
I know we're missing some really important players, but we should get this done at home.
Agreed.
Give last week we made some monumental **** ups, had Cox who may as well have stayed home and gave up a cheap 50m goal at the death, we held our own. Fix a bit of that and we are a good chance to beat them.
It all really hinges on one of the other sides in the race losing. I think our best bet is GWS to roll the dogs. Although I think the Roos are a sneaky chance....

The club spinning yarns about injuries again. Why do they always do it when it just gives supporters the shits?
Has anyone who is bagging Cox thought had it been an ordinary H&A game early in the season, he would have been taken off in the 2nd quarter. He was hardly able to run.
Toss one of the kids on Hogan and listen to you mob whinge like little kids. Can hear it, never should the kid play again. Etc, etc, etc.

Duff spoke about it in his podcast pretty well today.
Draper was not strong enough, so it was left to Cox, who could not go with him. Would not surprise me, if Hogan had taken him on a few leads to test his fitness out.
I would have give Ryan 5 minute stints on him, just to give Cox a bit of rest but who knows if that would help. (I don't know if he is carrying an injury, or just does not have the fitness base to go with him)
It would have also impacted the midfield run, so you are probably dammed if you do, dammed if you don't.
I mean Joe Brierty confirmed that there was no injury and that he is medically all clear. You think it was a coincidence that he only ever clutched at his hammy after losing a contest and never at any other point in the game?

There is a chance that he is not injured, he just did not have the fitness base to go with Hogan and was cramping all game.
After 10 weeks out, you must lose some conditioning and I doubt you get back during the season.
Clearly not, and he was never going to after coming back from so far. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t exaggerate the hell out of it to try and excuse his awful performance
There was no comparison between the condition in which Cox and O Mac have come back into the WAFL. Cox couldn't and still can't bend over or run freely. Early days but O Mac looks great.
Fun fact - the only two finals positions Fremantle have never finished in is 2nd and 8th.
1st - 2015
3rd - 2006 and 2013
4th - 2014
5th - 2003 and 2022
6th - 2010
7th - 2012
Another fun fact, Freo has never lost an away elimination final and has won 3/4 elimination finals.
If we can get in finals it is written we will succeed better than we think.

He shouldn't have to. He is in no condition to perform at AFL level. Especially, following a lead up player. In all honesty he shouldn't be playing but our alternatives are another skinny kid or Ryan.
