Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs Dockers in WA

[The Nostradamus]

Out: Bergman, Larkey, Mahony and Young
In: Corr, Mckay, Powell and Phillips

B: Turner McKay Bonar
HB: McDonald Corr scott
C: Stephenson LDU Taylor
HF: Greenwood Walker Ziebell
F: Zurhaar CCJ Curtis
R: Goldy JHF Simpkin
I: Perez Powell Phillips Thomas

I still think we could easily argue larkeys suspension to low impact

Comben could come in for walker if ready

 

[Only Forwards]

It's a miracle our midfield is the only area that hasn't really been stifled.

I'd argue that it has.

Or at least that there has been a lack of continuitity in there.
Our best mids and games missed/interupted:

Jy - no games
JHF - no games
Greenwood - no games

Sleevo - 1 game out, half of most games forward
LDU - 1.75(?) games
Thomas - 2.75(?) games and played one hurt
Powell - I am not doing the analysis on his game time, a bunch as Sub

Cunnington - all games
Anderson - All games
Phillips - All games


We have had Jy and 2 new blokes as mainstays and the rest have been in and out, or out completely.

The idea that the midfield is untouched is a myth.

 

[The acurate one]

Rumour doing the rounds five freo players returned on the plane with COVID. Will be interesting see this play out.

Jesus. A COVID hotbox

 

[Samsquanch]

They don't want to take any further risks with the percentage booster by the looks of things

[tazaa]

If only Brayshaw can join them and we might lose by 30
Acres was really good on the weekend.

 

[The Dingrel]

Out; Walker, Young, Atu, Mahony, Burgerman, Mahony, Atu, Walker and Young.

That's nine omissions, yes that is a lot. But we could cover them with McKay, Powell, Phillips, Corr and Anderson.

mate, this is not the delisting thread.

 

[leighlee13]

Excellent. I can go to bed at half time and not feel guilty about not watching it.

And then through something miraculous we will cause an upset and win and we will have all missed it! Hold on, this sounds like a plan!

 

[shintemaster]

This is nourishing news.

 

[The acurate one]

Don't follow the Freo closely has this left the Kerridge in chaos?

Acres has been in a good patch of form. Colyer much better than his Essendon days. I'm actually struggling to think of a Kerridge nominee for Freo. Maybe Tucker or Clark?

 

[Le Grille]

If anything it’s strengthened the field

 

[Samsquanch]

It means one thing to me - I can't use that Dave Hughes cigarette pack meme as a Rory Lobb joke. I'm really pissed off about that.

Brayshaw, Logue, Lobb, Ryan and Schultz, please and thank you

 

[Massive Unit]

I like your thinking but Ford is out injured.

Awwwww nuts!!!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Comben may be right to go if it’s only management/knee soreness.

 

[Val Keating]

Then what about bloody Simpkin and sometimes LDUs lack of defensive pressure? They get a pass on the account that they hack the ball forward whilst Powell is penalised for actually looking and hitting up targets inside 50 due to having some semblance of a brain?

Simpkin had a game high of 10 tackles and had 26 pressure acts. Least of our problems.

 

[Heaps of fun]

[Sticksphat]

Small ball forward line

Curtis - Zurhaar - Ziebell
Mahony - Thomas - JHF

:Stern look of small ball

Every F50 entry is to be a mongrel end over end grubber along the ground, no chance an intercept mark. Forwards to be in front all night. Could not be any worse than the predictable long bomb shit that hasn't worked for the last 2 years.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Did someone say something about nourishment?

Biggest Loss: 82 points – 59 to 141 (Round 1, 2019)

Ugh, that game pissed me off so much. The sad thing is Freo weren't even that good... we allowed them to break us so easily with stupid turnovers, fumbles and structures that made us so predictable. All they had to do was hunt the turnover.

Bailey Scott's debut game too right? I remember him being distinctly clean with his disposal and our senior players butchering it when they got the receive.

 

[krakouers]

Rumour doing the rounds five freo players returned on the plane with COVID. Will be interesting see this play out.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

These changes won't happen and I am not 100% on Chom's availability, but still...

Out: Larkey (suspension), Walker and Bergman

In: Chom, McKay and Corr
