Byrne showed heaps against the Pies, I'd be fine keeping him for another week. Give him a chance at immediate redemption.

I don't really want to see wholesale changes this week. McKay and Elijah are obvious omissions so I can see O'Keeffe and Flynn coming in. Not sure where Hewett fits in so maybe he has another week on the pine. It's nice we have depth with a healthy list at least
Other one that could come in is Lord but not sure who comes out

Oh yeah ofc, he comes in before Hewett I reckon. We probably would have won with him doing a job on Daicos.

This is the one game where we need all of our talls (Freo are fricken huge) so maybe Jagga gets a rest or Frankie comes out.

Good problems to have at least

Please no more HOK until he plays a good game or 2 in the vfl.

I understand he's the right shape player but he's so put of form it is legitimately like playing a man down. 1 mark from his last 2 games. What is the point?
 
Just trying to balance the negativity ...

Freo were average against the pies and we have a good rivalry with them

Im expecting this to be closer than what some on here are suggesting, close enough for us to win :P
Until half time. LOL
 
Wow seems to be dropping Cripps is on a lot of people's agenda.
I don't think he should be dropped but I do think that his role needs to change because we concede too many easy centre clearances at times.

If he stays in the middle then we need speed on the wings. Cottrell? Wilson?
Voss won't play Wilson with his job on the line though so I think Cripps should play either CHB or CHF with the instruction to dish it off to outside run.

Well Reidy and derkson were held out of the vfl. So I’d guess they’ll be coming in not HOK anyway.

I’d like to see us playing Lewis Young as a decoy/defensive forward on Pearce, who is in rare form.

Derksen replaces H (concussion) as a key forward. Played some good games at VFL level in that position.

Flynn young deserves his chance, comes in for Elijah.

Lord should come in as well. Need his defensive pressure around the ball. Not sure who for though?

I’d look at pushing Cerra out to a wing and giving Ollie the week off (or VFL) but doubt that would happen.

The other option is to manage Smith and give him the week off; 20 games this year is a good outcome if he continues to build.

The other, other option is to rest Cripps and use Lord in that role.

Yes to Derksen and Young but from what I saw in the VFL game I wouldn't call up Lord
 
I will be there with my kids, it’s always good to spend time with like minded people all feeling the same pain and helplessness.

We’ve moved past that stage. My 21 year old son, who bleeds blue, is completely broken and doesn’t want to go. First ever WA game he will miss.

Heartbreaking on many fronts. My parent guilt is hitting me hard. If I had my time again, and I don’t say this lightly, I would force him to NOT support Carlton.
