Preview Changes/Preview vs Fremantle (including Goodwin out)

[melbun]

Sure, but he's always been a little bit of a confidence player and after however many games of shit we dump him when he finally looks like turning the corner? The **** is that.

It also is demonstrably undeserved while Viney, Sparrow, Sharp, Oliver etc. get a game.

He is only dropped. I would have delisted him.

He didn't turn the corner though. Got two goals by pure luck, was still selfish and trash in every other way. He can find confidence in the VFL.

Completely agree there's others that deserved to go as well though, that's the frustrating bit for mine. Especially while Brown and Laurie (who I'm not a fan of) are thoroughly deserving a go.

It really does look like Goody saw them calling our forward line shit and decided just swapping em out is a solution

Yep. Completely reactionary club. Only contacted Demetrio about the CEO role because someone in the media said we should. No leadership.

Completely reactionary club.

We could test that. Start a thread on every blog (leading with this one), "Steven May should be at Full Forward!"

Demetriou had already been contacted before Healy mentioned it, and if you listen to that segment again it's clear Healy is mentioning it because it had already happened.

Yeah feels like the brought Turner in for a game after a good vfl performance then dropped him straight away when JVR probably should have been dropped. Fritsch was shit the first few rounds, hasn't been great this year, but who can blame him. Viney's been crap all year but seems like they were so desperate to make a statement but were to gutless to drop Viney so Fritsch had to pay. Sparrow also should be dropped but he's hardly high profile.

Sparrow's role seems perfect to give a bloke like Laurie/KBrown/Sestan/anyone a go in. He hasn't done anything noteworthy either way this season; may as well give those guys a month or so with the spot to see if they add anything more

Sparrow is clearly not a tagger. The coaches just have no idea what to do with him and basically refuse to drop him.

Brown's been playing as a tagger. His last couple of games:

v Geelong - 11 tackles, 17 disposals, 4 clearances
v Gold Coast - 11 tackles, 15 disposals, 3 clearances

Treacy is going to kick ten goals isn't he?

as far as injuries go.

This week's excuse ️

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Why not bring Fritsch in and play him full back?

 

[Crusty Demon]

Treacy will kick double figures for sure. Why isn't Adams getting a game? Howes has been s* for 12 months and really isn't a like for like with May at all. Bizarre selections again this week. Gonna be an absolute drubbing anyway, so give Adams a go.

 

[wingersclub]

May out Jed Adams in, is what I would have done. Give the kid a go. We aren’t going to win anyway.

He has the videos in a safe place.

We're dead last for opposition goals per inside 50 and we're terrible for ground balls, so I actually don't mind Howes coming in instead of having all of Petty, TMac and Adams struggling below their knees. Playing 3 lumbering key defenders in our backline has gone under the radar as one of the poor Goody structures that's costing us because everyone is focusing on the forward line.

Oh FFS. Can people please stop being injured.

Jeffo named to play VFL. How long has he been fit for? Would have liked to see him in the seniors again rather than Turner.

I don't think it matters mate. Our tall depth is unbelievably bad. With May and Gawn coming to the cliff very soon, it's about to get even worse. I think Jeffe will get his chance again because we're gonna lose a lot of games this year and deckchairs will be shuffled. Would love to see Sestan, Kynan and Adams get a game soon as well. Who cares if it makes our side weaker, we need to look at some of these blokes.

 

[Toump Ass]

Would love to see Freo swing Oscar MacDonald forward to kick a cheeky half dozen sausage or so.

Genuine question:

How many goals are we expecting to kick this week?
If we can kick 6 I'll be pretty happy.
