JL keeps talking about building resilience in players by having them play through soreness [emoji2370]

That would be fine if the side tonite will be the same side that lines up first game next season.
The side tonite is a long way off being our best 22.
Why not rest the boys who are on the perimeter of the side for the boys who are also on the perimeter and playing in Mickey Mouse scratch matches to show what they have got under real match conditions.

Got one of the Carlton game umpires tonight, David Harris.
The emergency umpire is Andrew Heffernan who was also umpiring that Carlton game.

Also Langdon's kicking is still nightmarish, feel bad for Melbourne supporters.

I loved everything about that lad except that kick.

Knives are being sharpened

 

[wild side]

Lets hope the emergency doesn't have to adjudicate.
He was pretty bad in that game, think he's the one that let the Carlton player kick from closer in

So we thinking Conca to Petracca?

 

[Wabjub]

So we thinking Conca to Petracca?

My guess is Conca to Viney or Fritsch. Try and get Fyfe and Petracca to run on each other, Petracca isn't the tallest Midfielder we could force a mismatch if we get Fyfe around him at the contests.

 

[Joao]

So we thinking Conca to Petracca?

Probably in the forward half. Not sure he follows him everywhere.

 

[Troy Cooked It]

Conca on Pickett tonight surely, in his current form we could almost bank that in but it is Conca so we shall see, we don't really have a better match up for him.
Should be a cracker of a game I think, Hogan verse the old club looking for his first goal, Demons need the win for finals, us with no changes clearly pushing to finish the year with wins.
Freo by 9

Reckon Duman could handle Pickett.

Agree that it should be a good contest.

Us by 13.

 

[Joao]

They'll come out breathing fire but will fade I suspect. We should do to them what we did to the Pies.

 

[footy75]

Come on Freo

 

[Wilksyy]

Melbourne selected two big men in Preuss and Gawn. I’m guessing that Gawn will rotate in their forward line exploiting our lack of talks in defence, it’s gonna be interesting to see how we counter this.

Afl signed off on a Melbourne win.

Gawn is more dangerous to us down the line and in defense if we have our bombing shoes on. Is a woeful set shot (inb4 he kicks 5.0 tonight). Kind of like Rory when on.

nah GWS just sitting in the 8. AFL will want a Freo win to maintain that.

Wonder if he's since been taught how to set a mark or it's still a vibe thing

They would want their baby in the finals to make more cash in nsw

Sorry i read that completely backwards haha

Match fitness maybe but who knows what JL’s priorities are.

 

[Vintage]

Dumbfounding decision really

Still struggling with us making no changes?

 

[Square Peg]

Still struggling with us making no changes?

Absolutely. Good win but we need to manage loads and look at valente at least. Luckily got no soft tissue injuries.
