Preview Changes for Preliminary Final (who holds their spot?)

[E Shed]

So as the planets continue to align for Freo in 2013 we are in a situation where its possible we will have the option of bringing in Johnson and Ibbotson for our next match, Pearce I think is gone for the year. I don't think Dawson or Mayne will be suspended and Suban being subbed was precautionary from what I can tell and he should be available.

Sheridan will probably miss and suspect I suspect either Suttcliffe or Neale would be the other to make way. Either of the latter would be incredibly unlucky as both performed with distinction on the big stage today.

Could it be that we will actually be putting close to a full strength team on the park for the first time all year at exactly the right time?

Yes please Footy Gods

 

[Simmofreo]

Neale I don't think will miss. He has been too good. Johnno will be back, Ibbo I'm still not sure.

In terms of the MRP anything can happen when it's. Freo player there. I think we may lose one of them to be honest. Happy to be wrong though

 

[Wigarus]

I seriously doubt Ibbo will get up. Johnson is an automatic inclusion so Out: Sheridan In: Johnson but that's about it.

We had a great side out there today.

 

[basashi]

In: Basashi and Mrs Basashi.

Flying to WA for this one.

I'd say if we get those two back then Sheridan will go and one of Sutcliffe or Neale will move to sub. I'd bank on Sutcliffe tbh, provides more outside run than Neale.

 

[theGav56]

Sheridan would be first out, MJ first in (obviously).

Suban has 2 weeks so he may be good, even as sub. Ibbotson needs blistering training to force his ways in.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

It would be extremely harsh to drop Sutcliffe IMO, a very big part of the reason we won was his last quarter.

 

[Alfonz]

Can't see Ibbotson playing again this year. It will just be MJ for Sheridan. Sutcliffe to sub. Silvagni for Dawson, if he is suspended.

 

[pokerspiv]

If we end up playing Carlton we could bring in a small for Dawson, since they only have 1 tall forward.

 

[sij1981]

Hopefully Sydney wins

 

[Kunna17]

if we play sydney we got to be tall. So MJ comes in for sheridan to give us 3 tall defenders.
We're still slightly short down there though with
WHITE
TIPPETT
PYKE/MUMFORD
and Goodes? (Is he back)
So it's interesting how we match up. Obviously if ibbo's in he can take goodes or somebody.

 

[FreoGirl]

I really hope Suban is OK! I don't think we had any "passengers" on Saturday so would be sad to see any of them miss out, after their team performance

 

[freodocker5]

I reckon we just make the one change of johno in for tommy. sutcliffe deserves his spot and i just think it might be too risky to bring back ibbo incase his fitness levels and touch is a bit off, and incase he injures himself early on in the game like clancee did

 

[mike91]

Their saying Suban is fine, just subbed him off because we were down a player and it was a high intensity game.

 

[StingBitten]

Well, with all players cleared from the MRP we don't have to worry about losing any through suspension.

My only ins are Johnson if he's fit and available. Not sure if RTB would mess with bringing back Ibbo at this stage of the year. Hopefully Suban will be fit and available as well.

Ins: Johnson
Outs: Sheridan (unfortunately)

he and Ballaz are made of titanium

 

[pavsbootlace]

Mayne and Dawson have both been cleared by the MRP.

I hope it will be as simple as...

IN: Johnson
OUT: Sheridan

Subcliffe becomes the Sub.

sounds perfect

 

[Wigarus]

Its a pity we can't gift Crozier a game. I think he will be a long-termer and it would be good to give him a little finals experience...

 

[FreoRicci]

Johnson is the main one, but given Ibbo has been close but just missing will be interesting. This week will have to train 100% and with some sort of match simulation to get fitness as well as confidence. Besides, Sutcliffe has been doing a solid job but Sydney (if they win) have a huge backline so Ross might even consider Silvagni In as well.

If Dawson was pinged for a week was going to suggest Ibbo in to cover.

I think it's likely he'll be ready in 2 weeks from now... it's just a case of messing with a winning formula especially with Johnson coming back in.

I'd really love to see Ibbo come back into the side though.

Agree wholeheartedly, Ibbo is crucial with them intercept marks which Muzungu was doing this weekend, then with ibbo back mzungu can be more attacking run which he couldnt do this weekend.

 

[FrancisX]

Johnson in for Seridan

Ibbotson - if he is fit - it will be a gamble but coaches will want to find a spot for him given the intercept and contested marks he is capable of, not to mention his foot skills.

But I don't see how you can drop Sutcliffe or Neal both have been too good. I still marvel somewhat at Sutcliffe's goal in the final quarter against WC - he ran a long distance to take the mark in the pocket andc was breathing for life. He was spent - I thought there is no way he is going to kick it. But he nailed it.
