Changes for Freo game

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Out : O'Bree, N.Brown (or Reid)
In : Wellingham, Prestigiacomo

Jack Anthony has made a huge bid for selection but I can't find a spot for him, *maybe* Jack in for Macaffer, but Dawes has done what's asked for.

In: Presti, Wellingham
Out: Reid, O'Bree

Please, Please do not drop MaCaffer, he gives us versatility, and does very little wrong during the games.

He is also about the only other option we have as a "tagger" after Johnson too, so I don't want to see him dropped.

Ben Reid still hasn't got the "defensive awareness" needed in big games, although his attack of half back is enough to show he will be a very good player with another 20-30 games uner his belt.

I think we "need" Presti next week, the defense has leaked a few goals the last few weeks, even though we have been winning by large margins, and he will just settle the group down.
 
Obree doesn't deserve to be dropped, but we can't afford to have both he and Ball playing against a fast team like the Dockers - especially at Subiaco.

So Wellingham comes in for Obree. Presti - if 100% ready - should probably come in also, but dropping Nate Brown might be a bad idea given the possibility of Sandilands resting forward. Nate has done the job on Pavlich before, though his delivery wasn't what it is this year. I'd trust Presti with the job more. Swan can take him if he moves into the midfield.

Very tough to decide...

Possibly just:

OUT: Obree [unlucky], Brown [unlucky]
IN: Wellingham, Presti

Again, I wouldn't feel good about not having Brown to take the resting Sandi. But Maxwell can do the job if he doesn't play body-on-body.
 
One thing about O'Bree is that he has a magnificient interstate record, even at Subiaco.

Ins for me:
Wellingham (obvious)
Fraser (good history getting plenty of ball at the ground and against Sandilands)
(Presti optional since Reid likely to get Pavlich anyway)

So out is N. Brown, Wood, - go smaller running team this week


Doesn't matter anyway, Leon always dominates in W.A., just sit back and enjoy the Magic show
 
Changes I'd like to see are:

Out - O'Bree, Brown
In - Wellingham, Presti

O'Bree had a good game but alot of his kicks into the forward 50 were just thumps. Someone also mentioned he and Ball don't really work well in the same team.

MacAffer is another replacement for Wellingham, however i like MacAffers work around the ground. He is hard at it; another high amount of tackles (8 this game, 2nd highest behind Ball) and he always uses the ball well. Always feel safe when he has possession.

Brown is the best replacement for Presti as they are the same type of players. I see them both as shutdown defenders, whereas Reid provides rebound and has a penetrating kick.

The obvious "in" is the sheriff for cheesy.

The million dollar question is Brown stays in or do we bring in presti???
Last 2 games Brown has played pav and kept the big guy super quiet, but you cant really go past the human personal space invader in presti...
tough decision there.

The other one is Mcaf, do we keep the tackling machine in or bring in some leg speed for subi, goldy? blight? or do we go with back to back jack as a third tall with the larger ground?
oh and a boy by the name of locks doesnt go too bad over there at subi either

Oh its like a kid in a candy store with our mob :p so many choices so few positions...:)
 
Would like to bring in an extra runner (Sharrod) for a tall if possible, but do Freo play two big key forwards? Caff might be unlucky, though I'm more than happy to keep him in.

is jolly fit enough to ruck by himself? was wood really that good or is it a case it gives jolly a rest and a helping hand? just an interesting thought.

At the very least it gives Jolly an opportunity to get some rest in the forwardline while snagging a couple of majors.
 
Time to drop Toovey.He is useless and is one of malthouse's favorites.
He gets a lot of the ball but gee he turns it over,and doesn't know what to do with it,and it costs us.

We have got a very good backline but a lot of teams kick high scores against us.

Changes this week out- Toovey,obree,Brown

Ins-Wellingham,Anthony,Presti
 
IN: Presti Fraser and Wellingham if all fit.
OUT: Toovey Wood and Macaffer

wondering how big Jacks tank is? could he become a half forward? if Dawes keeps going at this rate Jack is going to have to add a few strings to his bow.
