Prediction Changes: Round 13 Vs Richmond + prematch discussion

Let's be honest you guys were missing a very good midfielder on the day.

Having said that, Freo had a few injuries on the day to deal with.

Both teams seem evenly matched
It definitely evened out. Our leading goal kicker going into the match was out, and then Darcy who has been probably our 2nd best player all season went out early and messed up our whole structure.

Looks right to me

I'd maybe swap Erasmus with Brodie

Erasmus was really good in the last quarter

Brodie was slightly better over the 4 quarters imo
Yep happy to swap those two. I like the way Erasmus hunts the ball and aside from a horrible kick at goal (when te weather turned ferral) he was cleaner with ball use. But if they want a more mature body to replace JOM - fine with me. I also like Brodie as a sub. Think him coming on against GC was a game changer.

Yeah either way I'd be happy

It's a shame O'Meara is out but I think Freo can cover him for a game.
 
I’m heading over for this and very confident.
‘very confident freo will win by plenty.
I wish I was this confident. This game has surprise L written all over it for me, yeah we're in good form but we're coming off of a bye with no Darcy and O'Meara.

Seems a perfect time for a classic Dockery performance.
 
Yeah, this is no gimme. Their midfield is solid, they're capable of a high pressure game and play chaos-ball as well as anybody. We usually suck after a bye, and they're coming off a morale boosting win.

Play like we did against Melbourne and we'll beat them, potentially quite handily, but show up even half off and we'll be in trouble.

Don't think it would be Dockery at all tbh. Young teams have ups and downs and we're due for a down game, wouldn't be unusual to get punished by a more experienced side like Richmond. Look at how much Adelaide and Gold Coast fluctuate in form and they have similar age profiles. I have a feeling we'll drop one of the next two, GWS away with their talent is another huge danger game.
 
I would have brought Reidy or Knobel in to play on him.
I posted this earlier in this thread...

I asked if its a good time to Bring Liam reidy Or Max Knobel in. One has to debut now. I am not keen on Luke Jackson playing 100 percent game time in the ruck. He needs to be rotated in the ruck and forward line.

Liam Reidy got another 23 hit outs. If I had to choose who to bring in between Liam Reidy or Max Knobel to get a debut game, I want the 22 year old Liam Reidy. His body is ready.
We really were lucky to have Meek as back up ruck for so long, it feels like the cupboard is bare now Darcy is out for a long stint.
Yeah Meek would get a game vs Richmond in this up coming game.

Do we really risk debuting a guy? i'd rather just have Jackson come in as full time ruck for a few weeks and have Treacy pinch hit.

I’d consider pushing Fyfe forward to play Treacy’s role.

In: Erasmus, Brodie
Out: Jom, Darcy

Fyfe out of the midfield unless “break glass” option required.

If Walters is fit, tough position, we could go with a smaller forward line but I don’t like it. Relying on Amiss to body up on Balta isn’t great.

Role —> new person in role

Darcy —> Jackson
Jackson —> Treacy
Treacy —> Fyfe
Fyfe —> Brodie
JOM —> Erasmus

If Walters is fit; he could replace Sturt.
