Prediction Changes for Rd 20 vs Gold Coast

[HoneyBadger35]

Happy with that. Petch for Foley who is now named HBF is much better. Hopefully it ends this weird phase of shoehorning Foley in at HFF.

They struggled worse with it than us for every year except this one. They also sacked the head of their S&C last year and brought in someone who clearly knows what they are doing.

I also think Optus has softened but MRP hasn't.

 

[Bort Cummings]

Feels like the first time in a while we haven’t had a tall on the bench. 2 KPFs, 2 KPDs (3 in finals I guess, but Schoey was playing on midsized forwards) and 2 rucks was the ‘18 formula, albeit with better personnel, so be interesting to see how it goes. Hope the variety of midfield rotations will mitigate our quarter-long fade-outs a bit.

Yep, it'll be a small forward line with no one over 193cm if either Nic Nat or Bailey are on the bench at any stage.

 

[Wild Kelly]

Dockers going okay with it ...why us ??

answer our fitness medical/conditioning team is pathetic

Nah.Most of our guys have young families. Leg strains and awarenesses caused by bending over to pick up/play with their kids.

 

[wirra44]

Look i hope so. We have 8 wins and have played a great season. But we need to have 10-11 wins (2-3 out of last 4) to actually have this great season show in the ladder.
I hope we finish with a pumping of you guys and north and hawks. I suspect geelong will tear us a new one

The Hawks game in tassie I see is the biggest game for you guys , sort of game where your boys really need to start banking against a mid bottom 8 team which are very capable on there day and at a tricky venue. Agree eagles and north are just gimmies should easily dispose of.

Watch us still bomb it in there long and give Collins a field day

I can confirm this. My hammies, lower back are always on fire/tight/sore

Im constantly lifting the kids, picking up their toys, stepping on flipping lego.

When i train chest, my hammies are sore the next day.

Do shoulders, hammies sore the next day.

Train back, yep ...hammies sore the next day.

Like dark sharts i skip leg day.

Wouldn't mind seeing Shuey and Petch spend a bit of time down back this weekend.

Not to be a smart ass, but what's the rationale with "resting" Kennedy?

He is about to come to the end of his career and its not like we need him to be fresh for finals. Surely he isn't that cooked that he can't play out his final month of professional football?

Probably doesn't want to get injured before his farewell game next weekend. Fair enough too.

He can do what he wants

That’s my rationale

Simmo has already said the big fella is really struggling.
Reckon he would play if he could.

Yep, Simmo's basically said JK decides if he plays or not, and knowing the great man, if he's out he must be sore.

He is that cooked unfortunately

Barely trains at all during the week because all his energy goes into recovery. Every chance he’s only got one more game in him

 

[WCErevival]

So is next week his final game or just a game dedicated to him? If its the final I'm surprised he didnt want to play one final derby.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Struggles to back up week to week with his knees, that’s been said a few times this season.

But we should force him to play a meaningless game against Gold Coast anyway.

Rather he play next week and then the derby

I think he is actually that cooked. Someone on here said JK struggles to get in and out of the car after games at the moment.

At the risk of going Peak Freo Supporter - if we win the derby and relegate Freo to an away final, it would be the highlight of this shitty season.

6PR (I know) said a few weeks ago, next weeks game is his last one.

I think his knees are proper kooked

 

[squashface]

Was chatting to a current player the other day and he said all the boys want JK to play the derby for his last game but are unsure if he will be able to get up for it

He also said that Barrass is the players pick for next captain

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Will Collins isn't a current player mate.
