Preview Preview & Changes R11 v Walyalup @ Optus

[PortAdelFC1997]

Jackson also training with the 1s

We’re gonna get exposed on the ground and lack of speed down back with those three talls aren’t we?

 

[Anyonebutken]

Most other sides would beat us by 70plus this week. But with Freo I don't know. Speaking to someone close to gws, the giants were flat last week they had played 6 of their first 9 games on the road. Freos win last week was not as impressive as it seems.
Before that they were as bad as us. This game has the potential to be tight. Smells a bit like the ken saving game against the saints last year. Hope I'm wrong as I want freo to finish us so the pressure intensifies on ken and Koch in particular.

 

[PowerLil]

Go get 'em Hugh!

It does. I can scent it from here.

 

[Rigs]

I can just imagine how pissed off be would have been answering a question about the succession plan. Especially these lines:
“We expect to get better. And we will not be distracted."

“We have nothing other than Fremantle on our minds," Hinkley said

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Not sure there will be 3 talls if Esava is walking laps at training.

and Rory Atkins who have a lot of football experience can come in and be really strong players for us. And very good players. That gives us opportunity.”

Funny how he mentions the old blokes first then oh yeah we got a few youngens after, classic ken

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

If Rat King plays then we win.

Simple stuff.

 

[all seeing eye]

All I want is to see Jackson get a go.

 

[Rash]

and not get played in the forward line

Sub I betcha. It’s a very Ken thing to do.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Luko could play next week, but I reckon he plays SANFL because he's missed so much time.

Yeah let's rush him back in a season that's already over

You know it makes sense

Counterpoint: the more first choice players back in the squad, the less the media Hinkley-cucks will be able to say our underperformance is a list issue

 

[Willsy10]

We've got quite a few injuries again. Quite a few at the start of the year, started to get some players back and the injury list was starting to look okay but it has blown out again.

I know we are playing terrible footy in a transition/treading water year but the injury list has made it harder for us to get consistency. It doesn't explain the white flags being raised in second halves when we get a few goals down, but it has contributed to why we get those few goals down in the first place.

JHF is obviously a massive out, especially against a strong midfield like Freo's. We can't replace him, but the other injuries aren't the end of the world.

Getting some experience back with Boak and BZT i think could help and of the young ones i would like to see Jackson given a game.

And contrary to popular belief i don't think Ratkins is that bad. Do we actually lose much by replacing Sinn with him?

Seems to happen to us more often than it should. Feels like the medical department are too comfortable in their role. Need a thorough review of all the backroom staff and coaching staff etc etc.

Anyone that thinks just swapping out Hinkley will fix the problem is delusional. In fact, if we don't sort out the rest, we will probably go backwards.

We probably should've been more open to bringing back Burgess.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Ratugolea is out

 

[stewie griffen]

Ha Sav out

We are losing this by 75

 

[Rigs]

Hmm hamstring concerns. Almost sounds like a conditioning issue

 

[Doctor Feel]

BRING ON THE DEATH OF THE REGIME

 

[JUSTWORK]

If we lose by that much, Hinkley will have coached as many 12+ goal losses this year as Primus did his entire coaching career (including when he was stand in coach post Williams being sacked)

Why is it we didn’t get Burgess back?

 

[The Hobo]

We’re gonna get exposed on the ground and lack of speed down back with those three talls aren’t we?

Freo have 3 talls - Treacy, Amiss and Voss, so we need 3 to match. Only issue is that both Treacy and Voss are mobile, and our 3 talls aren't exactly that.

EDIT: Esava out apparently.. ouch

 

[PowerLil]

[Doctor Feel]

I have a weird understanding of what it is to be a Freo fan at the moment. I can't even trust them to brutalise the dessicated corpse of a Hinkley coached Port.
