Odds on Aliir not being subbed? Almost certainly I reckon

You've lost me if you think Banfield is a better forward than Sturt. Particularly after the last game. I'm very comfortable Sturt would be a 30 goal a season forward if he was afforded the same opportunities as Banfield to this point in his career.

Which makes the team selection for last week's forward line all the more deplorable.

On a side note to how important of a player Frederick is for us - if my math is correct after going through our record and his record as a player for us... Since Frederick was drafted our record without him in the team is: 10 wins 20 losses Which is pretty significant given our record since...

We have a very different opinion of their forward line compared to ours. Quite clearly theirs is undeniably better - but that's more due to the fact that they have 2 genuine stars in Hogan and Greene and a far more conducive game style to scoring with some amazing ball users delivering it to...

I mean he publically said he left Freo for success didn't he - so I don't think your far off. Probably have to head to a Victorian club though.

I'd say Amiss, Jackson and Treacy are all arguably better than Riccardi and Cadman. I'd be very surprised if Frederick didn't make it in to their forward line as well.

Except that's literally what we did to Sturt. He didn't play the best game, played as a 3rd and sometimes second tall, yet still kicked 2 goals.

Had 4 of his 6 disposals in the first half and kicked a goal in both halves. Junk time specialist.

Colin Young would have pushed him to a Melbourne club anyway

O'Meara needs to be in a different role to justify his selection. 1 last crack as a centre bounce mid and drop him if he isn't up to it.

The worst thing to me is O'Meara being named on the field. Means he's almost certainly not the sub either.

Sturt achieved more last week then JOM all season.

Sturt dropped and Walters and O'Meara retained. FML

Voss and Simpson in definitely will lift the crowd.

I actually find those seconds watching the players and crowd realise it's a draw to be absolutely hilarious.

Sam Durham has been very impressive in the last 3 weeks. Super tough and clean.

Oh and not to forget as seen just now the good old do whatever you want to a defender trying to touch the ball near the goal line

Think you could add the following to that: Push in the back Running too far - particularly from kick ins Running through the protected area Almost always when the above are called they are correct but they are let go at least ten times as much.

They sounded alot less convinced about his return then Freddie in the injury summary to me as well.

Well that was fun while it lasted

And a lot younger/inexperienced considering the likely players coming out.

I reckon that either means one of Switta or Freddie hasn't been ticked off for fitness or we are dropping one of Sturt or Emmett. Or we are going with only 2 talls in the forward line.

Just saw this article, wonder if that's why these discussions have just popped up. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-25/how-rest-and-preparation-dictates-afl-performance/103762636

Nope. I've noticed it too. Rd1: Not really applicable because of round 0. Rd2: Freo 6 days break, North 7 days break. Rd3: Freo 6 days break, Adelaide 7 days break. Rd4: Freo and Carlton 8 days break. Rd5: Freo 7 day break, Port 8 days break. Rd6: Freo 7 days break, West Coast 6 days break...

The highlights vid on the Peel Facebook page shows Voss laying a great tackle then getting in the oppositions face straight away. We are too nice. I'd like to see that aggression in the team.

The free against Draper was 100% there. I was sitting right behind the umpire as it happened. Very clear from the none broadcast side. How often they pay the free kicks is the question.

I feel very much the same way - however I think the loss certainly put the microscope on a few flaws in the team.

The worst part about the video is the clear duck called a high tackle. I think they gave him 3 high tackle frees before they clicked that he's a ducker.

I'd keep Sonny because otherwise our forward line will have zero leadership. I agree very much on Jaeger.
