Preview Changes: R5 2021 vs Fremantle

[BACCS]

I'd want both players in and a guy who already played SANFL as the sub

Not sure that’s allowed is it?

 

[Scorpus]

The AFL allow it

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Hopefully Murray in for frampton to add a taller defender.

 

[maxlilly]

I'm wondering if we bring Hately in and give Berry a rest for one match as the sub ?

 

[Thylacinus]

I except both Berry and Hately to play.

Have you heard something?

The possibilities are:

1)
Out: Kelly
In: Murray
Sub: Hately

2)
Out: Kelly, Berry
In: Murray, Hately
Sub: Berry

3)
Unchanged
Sub: Murray or Hately

4)
Out: Berry
In: Hately
Sub: Murray or Berry

My money is on option 1 or 2. Calves are not to be messed with so Kelly should miss at least 1 or 2 games.

All signs point to Lynch, Walker, Hamill, McAdam and Smith being passed fit to play but it’s not beyond the realms that one of them might be ruled out late, which would throw the magnets around a bit.

Frampton survives, which was obvious from Nicks’ presser.

Fog gets another chance to cement a spot prior to the return of Sloane and Crouch.

Rowe and McHenry would want to play well or Pedlar will be eyeing a spot in the next fortnight.

If Berry retains his spot, he just needs to find the ball a little bit more. I hope we persist there because the tackling is a genuine weapon.

 

[MrBarry]

I'd be livid if they dropped Berry, for a start it would make us weaker. Yes he needs to find the pill more, but he's just learning his craft as an 18 year old. On the other hand he's laying 8-10 crunching tackles a week, you can't replace that easily.

 

[Slippery Pete]

I do get a laugh from much of the self flagellation on this board, but I found this one a baffling call.

Sure Frampton isn't a mid, but he'd be better in both other aspects than Greenwood. That's not bagging Greenwood. But he's just not what you are suggesting he is or could be.

Frampton isn’t better than Greenwood at anything

 

[Slippery Pete]

I'm not saying it would be good in the long run Bicks. But in his current form you would love to him in the team.

I swear you never used to be this contrary all the time.

Didn’t the new name give it away

 

[Firewalker]

As per Nicks’ presser good to see Lynch decided he was right to play and selected himself for this week.

Frampton, yuck.

 

[GROTTO]

You can replace him with a player that provides you with run and carry.

 

[MrBarry]

Yeah and who then does the grunt work Berry is doing?

 

[GROTTO]

[hey shorty]

Dying his hair ??

 

[Murray2503]

Not getting a good feeling about this weekend. Bad things generally come in 3's.

will be assessed on game day to see whether he's fit

 

[jackster83]

So we kept Hately out for nothing then.

Now he'll be banished back to the SANFL next week and will have to start again.

Pathetic.

 

[Scorpus]

You know what I was thinking after watching the first three quarters against North Melbourne last week?

That the answer to such a terrible display of football is backing the boys in to respond

 

[Firewalker]

Nicks obviously extended the same curtesy he does to Tom Lynch and asked the players if they were able to make a call on their selection this week.

Jenny snapped at me when I posted as such last week.

Look mate, you just need to learn that backing the boys in is a really successful strategy that has worked for us over the last decade to great effect

 

[pjcrows]

So it'll be Murray if Kelly doesn't come up, and Hately the sub.
