Prediction Changes: Round 11 Vs Port Adelaide + pre-match discussion

[FreoRicci]

It's been confirmed now - Griff didn't travel to Adelaide due to a minor calf strain:
Griffin Logue update (fremantlefc.com.au)
Either Blakely or Duman to replace him - I'd say Duman.
Makes it tougher

Why didn’t Meek fly? Always Freo thinking can go in with a small team .

More height doesn’t necessary mean it’s better...

Meek is a good back up to have for Darcy but I’m not sure why people think he’d improve the team playing roles he’s never played in his life.

 

[Sweetback]

Their tall forwards are rather tall

 

[FreoRicci]

Always 1 step forward 1 step back with Freo

4 steps forward, 12 steps back. Whatever way to look at it

Why can Essendon keep up with the eagles at home but we can't .

 

[Lach72]

We didn’t miss much with Alec Waterman

 

[Purpleheart_56]

Because They are not scared of Eagles...

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Can’t help but get hyped for this, even though we shouldn’t have a hope in hell.

Logue out sux, but it's now back to the 2020 back structure. It passed quite a few tests last year.

 

[Freeeoo]

Tabs and Logue out, backs to the wall....would be a famous win for the footy club!

With Tabs out too.
Big ask. Expecting miracles from Lobb and the smalls.

Yeah nah. No Hughes. He was one of the pillars with the bash brothers.

I still think we have no chance, but Essendon winning tonight gives that tiny bit of hope

Still, going into tomorrow expecting a loss

Hughes irreplaceable you think?

 

[Purple Jesus]

I reckon we’ll be fired up. Treacy to kick a bag in a tight win.

I'm expecting Port to try and play a game of winning the ball at the stoppages, kicking out sideways or backwards then trying to exploit our lack of height by marking all the way to goal

 

[malpaso]

All our eggs are in the midfield and winning the ball with Darcy over-powering Ladhams. If we consistently lose clearances then looking at a 10 goal loss.

one on one hes one of our better players.

 

[Madas]

I reckon we get done today
Just hope we can stay competitive for 4 quarters, I’d be happy with that .

Logue out hurts , he was just finding form .
Port by ??? 22 ???

Definitely his best chance so far.

He goes up one in the forward targets category. Need him to kick 3 if we are any chance at all.

 

[noise36]

If our midfield get some control for enough of the game should only be a < 20 point loss, if they go missing its 50 >.

Tabs the biggest out as he kicks our goals, but logue out also weakens the defense, especially with Hughes also out on top of the other longer term injuries.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I’ve been confident about this one all week. I still reckon we’ll win with Tab and Griff out

 

[Docker82]

Our midfield has been smashed by any half decent team this year. Can’t see it being any different this afternoon even if Darcy wins every single hit out tbh.

 

[E Shed]

Hughes irreplaceable you think?

Within our squad yes. He’s hard as a cats head. Great intercept mark & knows the system inside out. I think of the 3 of them as the core of last year’s defense.

Essendon had a fortress down back and formidable forward line. Fremantle have nothing close to it.
I’d give anything to draft or trade for Harrison Jones. Goddamn Essendon got their draft right last season
