Strategy Changes: Round 16 Fremantle vs. St Kilda

[randall_eggs]

Good changes. I would have played Aish over Banfield as he just seems a safer bet, always competent.
On form Fyfe should have been out too but I get that they want to try and nurse him back to form.
I wonder if he goes back to sub.

Aish maybe has had his time in AFL??

 

[vidwhal]

Umm... Leave Banfield alone?

 

[E Shed]

Probably but he was more than competent last week and still played to the level. I would have him over Banfield in defense just because he rarely makes a mistake. You could make the argument Banfield attacks more from defense.
They’re both just placeholders for Simpson or Walker.

Omac over Draper is a great decision.

 

[Quazar2]

Not good enough. If you can’t put in 110% effort, we’ll have no choice but to drop you.

At this juncture I'm probably willing to drop myself, it'll save me some headaches

 

[WhoneedsMcLeod]

If it was a knockout final and those were my options, i'm going Walters and Fyfe every time, which means backing Jackson in the ruck solo.
In a standard game, maybe not..

Nah
Father time waits for no man, no JOM, no Fyfie, no Sonny.

 

[WhoneedsMcLeod]

Wingers kicking out on the full is part of the game plan for most teams. Makes it a bit more difficult for the opposition to counter attack through the central corridor.

Really lol
Kicking out on the full and giving the ball back to the opposition?
Ridiculous statement.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Individually I like the changes but jeez we are taking a lot of injury prone and low TOG players into this game.

If it's a close game I hope we don't run out of legs.

 

[FreoRicci]

Given how badly they beat us up inside mid last time, Fyfe in there makes a lot of sense for physicality. Let him and Macrea go at it.

MacRae is as slow as Fyfe.
Get Fyfe to boss him inside and Brayshaw can go free.

Coming off a 10 day break.
Dudley will be ready. Darcy is fresh. Fyfe is the concern for me. But it’s 1.5 week break. It’ll be beneficial for all.

Fyfe as sub would be fine

Not really we haven't been the same since Acres left.

Don't do it, a girl dropped me in Year 6 and I have never been the same since.

That’s like the Australian cricket team purposely collapsing at the top of the order. Shortens the test match and allows us to play to our strengths faster, which is getting the middle order in and then bowling.

Why play 4 or 5 days of test cricket when you can get the job done in 3!

If there’s a market for wingers butchering the ball down the line and even out on the full, I expect Sharp to receive multiple offers. I’d begrudgingly accept 3 first rounders, but only because we have Johnson that can fill that role.

Sharp needed to be dropped, isn't at the level right now

I'm just worried we lose him now, lifetime FA so can walk anywhere

Also why I'm hoping they are in talks with Voss's Manager right now, can't afford to have him as a lifetime FA end of next year

Voss is going nowhere?
