Changes for Showdown

The outs are predictable as is Boak in. Farrell is a bit of a surprise but he played well and he's probably the next small forward in line that isn't injured.

But I hope he bloody fires up and gets into the game rather than just running or drifting around the oval and having no impact. Maybe we need to do a bit of pegame Tony Raudonikis slap work on him to fire him up.

The high half forward is a graveyard position I'm not surprised fringe players go to fertiliser in it, bigger names struggle with it as well it's a half pregnant position if you see yourself as midfielder.

Let's see if Farrell and Hamish can get double figures this week.

 

[PJ Power]

I miss Butters.

 

[Windy Cindy]

Not a fan of these selections. Can't possibly believe Farrell offers more than Bonner.

bonner might be on standby for burton if he doesn’t come up

In: Boak, Farrell

Out: Frederick, Mayes, Woodcock
......................
The emergencies include Woodcock and Frederick along with defender Trent McKenzie and ruckman Peter Ladhams.

The medical substitute will be named from that group of players an hour prior to Saturday night’s first bounce.

 

[Mr Experience]

You think Frederick is stiff, what about Woodcock?

Would have thought he'd be feeling rather flaccid right now

Nothing worth melting over

Except it’s just looking too much like peak Kern.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Farrell kicked 8 goals in a quarter in his first Showdown.

Or something like that.

 

[Power Raid]

I feel we've seen Farrell's limit already

I'd preferred we persist with Freddie

 

[VineValerian]

Just trying to stir up interest in the game.
Been pretty low key this week.

That was his dad.

 

[klem22]

farrell gets in under what pretense????
Not exactly confidence building kern

 

[PowerBaz]

bonner might be on standby for burton if he doesn’t come up

He’s coming back from a hammy so a couple of weeks in the 2’s probably required.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Saw Flogarty being persisted with as a mid in the baby croms against Sturt last week and he was getting caught htb trying to crash through Sturt players.

Between Flogarty and spud Rowe they're down 2 players from the first bounce.

 

[Jonts]

The best in for us is Fogarty

Don’t tell me Drew is playing on a wing (named there) .... own him in fantasy and all I remember is that Richmond game where he had 3 touches to 3QT lining up on the outside and his last quarter heroics in the middle saved him.

Think he will be in the guts M8 Farrell likely to play wing.

I hope so. SPP/Boak/Wines/Drew/Houston very much the same. Feel they view Drew the lesser of the blokes in there even though he isn't as well, so are you expecting good MID mins or will he float about?

Powell-Pepper could be up forward a lot, Houston might be down back a bit also.

Houston might play more across half back with Frederick out. Houston looked a bit wounded last week. Sore shoulder. Drew will be a midfield bull again for us this game.
