Strategy Changes and pre-game vs Gold Coast.

[swanny1234]

Jackson played against a 10 gamer who's 202cm and I assume he is heavier than. Witts is more than 2 inch's taller and probably 20kg heavier. It's totally different proposition.


I do wonder if Fyfe is just going over to hang out in the coaches box and is a travelling emergency that they don't think they will need barring a rolled ankle on a suitcase.

The week before he dominated against Briggs who is no small man.

 

[Orange crush]

You guys a real chance this week …. Suns looked pretty scratchy against the aints last week …. The travel is wearing them down

 

[Big Animal]

Given Duds is out, wasn't expecting to win this one anyway so don't mind giving Pearce a break, and getting some kms into the rehabbers. Giving the nepo babies the respect they deserve. Like comparing bank accounts with Lachie Murdoch. Yes, I have less but I earnt it all on my own and never failed a telco expt.

 

[DragoDelph]

Young travelled too btw .

 

[noise36]

Not surprising that Draper is replacing Pearce. He lost his place in the team more as a team balance issue rather than for poor performance.

I remember his performance being pretty bad, but it could have been because our midfield was getting smashed and he was constantly under the pump.

 

[DragoDelph]

Love a pre-teams melt. Get it out of your system early.

 

[swanny1234]

Young travelled too btw .

Fyfe and Young are probably going surfing on the Goldy.

 

[FreoRicci]

Dudley out, Banfield In
Simpson out, Aish in
Pearce out, Draper or Davies in.

Fyfe - sub

Those are the simplest changes. I just feel Darcy is being rushed back to his and the team detriment

Fyfe is in no way coming in.
He ll need 3 weeks at least for Peel.

Jackson has been fantastic against the bigger rucks this year as 2025 LJ is much stronger than previous years. Meanwhile 2025 Darcy struggled massively against two big rucks in Gawn and Cameron. Against Witts I dont think we can afford Darcy playing against him for long. Considering both Witts and LJ play around 80% of gametime in ruck when they are the main ruck we can play Voss in ruck only against the second ruck/

Darcy was fine against Nank though? Pretty serviceable for his first game back and it was 35 degrees in the middle of no where. He was also quite solid against ROB who is a huge unit. I'm not saying it's a good decision but you're making it out as though Darcy has only played well on little blokes or got destroyed this year, simply not true

 

[Perfect Purple]

Relax. Take some deep breaths. Jackson & Darcy will both go well.

 

[Hazelsnuts]

For what it’s worth - this week is a club - player sponsor trip….
Maybe something in that for the travellers/players ??

Good luck Murph

 

[Footskill]

Fyfe will play. In what capacity not sure. It was only yesterday JL said Fyfe would play minutes this week and since he is travelling it won't be at peel

Surely not, I would be very surprised if he plays, he broke down in the WAFL.

My guess is he won't be named.

Fyfe confirmed in

 

[apuchar]

Fyfe and Darcy in

 

[swanny1234]

so we’ve gone in way too tall… and brought in two blokes with zero match fitness. New levels of idiocy from JLo.

 

[apuchar]

Witts and Moyle both in for GC

 

[Deveraux]

now that is surprising...

 

[LongSerong]

Picking teams like a man who's on the ropes - he's going to run Darcy into the ground by the time this season is over and he'll be worth less than he already is, and in the meantime destroy Fyfe to the point that he probably won't even get a farewell game. Unbelievable

 

[fleur]

Mac Andrew still in for them

 

[Deveraux]

Well atleast we won't be youngest of the round again.

 

[LongSerong]

Cherry on top is that Mac Andrew is named despite being out all week
