Changes - Rnd 1 - vs Essendon

[Wizard]

That May help us get a full team ready for round 1.

It would also help the other 17 teams do the same.

I'm not sure 4 weeks of training and internal scratchies is going to help our injury list...........

Not sure a lot of teams have a third of their best 22 on the sidelines this time of year.

We do!

 

[Bring back Drum]

If the season is postponed then at least we may have our first fair AFL season where the ladder is the result of playing every other team once. That should be the target for the AFL as the least amount of games to constitute a season.

For everyone thinking we'll see normal footy next week - the F1 GP banned spectators at the advice of Victoria's Cheif Health Officer. 90 thousand plus at the MCG next week?

I wouldn't think so.

Absolutely agree.

Another year of Freo not debuting players in round 1.

We do!

I know.

Both teams have been hit hard, especially in the big man department. You guys have it worst in the talls.

Our back line will be missing Hamling,Pearce,Wilson, and Hill plus Young as well.

Only Collingwood have the same amounts of missing players.

Not only that but our back ups either aren't at the club or are injured again

So if Pearce and Mundy track well with their rehab, already in main sessions, could be ready by postponed round 1. Wilson too.

And Young.

How bad is Hills injury weeks wise.
And yes I would play Colyer.

Are we still playing ?
Has everyone cleaned their hands?
And how do we get to Docklands, on a plane with the infected?
This is turning out to be the most weird footy opening in the game's history!

There will be certain familiar elements
a. Eddie will probably commentate on Fox and have no idea about the name of our players.
b. Big Footy will declare the Bombers are building a good list for the future whilst Freo have a long few years ahead of them, and chose a dud as a coach. This is regardless of the result of the match.
c. The West headline will read something like "AFL concerned by Dockers inability to attract a crowd".

Great first game to coach, no crowd and s**t scared everyone around you has Covid-19

I'm expecting us to play Blakely (Connor#19), have him line up in the middle for the first bounce and just let him cough a bit before the game starts.
