Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Cartlon + Pre-match discussion

[Madas]

Covid stopped all footy in Victoria.

Oh of course . Duh

 

[Dockeroo]

If Logan McDonald was on the Fremantle list would he be playing this weekend for us if so, who would you drop for him?

 

[FreoRicci]

do you think with the young boys pushing for selection traecy and sturt. maybe tabs will get pushed out due to consistency?

He’s our leading goal kicker with 5. All with a bad back. He’s about as important to the structure of the team then Fyfe is.

Sturt probably pushes out a Colyer or Giro. Treacy, Tabs, Darcy/Lobb can coexist

Meek.

 

[FreoRicci]

Sturt is a totally different player so he won’t bother Tabs position but re Treacy, not this year or next you wouldn’t think, but he will need to stay fit and healthy and maintain form. Good to have pressure on spots.

Lobb comes in for Meek, as Darcy builds his form and fitness. Treacy and Tabs with Lobb would be a mare. Add Sturt as a fourth forward with Walters. Plus Switta and Schulz. Holy moly

Meek but only if Darcy or Tabs dont need a spell to get the body right for the rest of the season

We arnt far off having a decent forward line!! Good times ahead!!

* Lobb , good spot for that bloke is the trade block

Walters Treacy Lobb
Henry Taberner Sturt

With quite a few options for some of those positions.

I think I would prefer Henry getting minutes on the wing rather than forward. Switta and Shultz are better than him forward atm.

 

[Dockeroo]

Fyfe Treacy Lobb Tabs Sturt and Meek/Darcy will be hard to fit in one side. Fyfe would have to go back as a full time mid for a start. Jlo loves defensive pressure so would be surprised to see all the above named if available.
Was impressed with Sturt pressure at ground level last night though.

Yes I agree but at this stage doesn’t look like happening. Nice having some forward options coming through.

He's not Logan McDonald though.

Let alone the possible difference in talent, McDonald has spent an entire season playing and excelling against men. Treacy has basically missed 12 months of footy.

Switta and Schulz have to stay in. Their pressure and goalkicking is as important around the talls. Walters doesn’t provide any pressure. He can be used up the ground, midfield. Henry shouldn’t play this year, build his fitness for Peel and up against if bodies.

Switta, Lobb, Schulz
Treacy, Tabs, Sturt.

Fyfe and Walters rotate through

 

[PurpleDaze]

Agree henry isn’t quite strong enough yet he was thrown around in the Melbourne game

Darcy or Meek playing for Peel?

Darcy or Meek playing for Peel?

You’d think Darcy is first ruck. Build his base and form. Meek is quietly doing his business though

It'll be an interesting problem to have if/when they both keep developing.

Hope we have thrown out the zone defence and have been furiously practicing man to man defence all week

I would want to see Sturt play a few games in a row before I get too excited. Keep a simmer on it until he has broken his injury curse.

Sounds a bit like Bennell

Don’t have that luxury. Zone it is. Ryan and Cox vs Casboult and McKay. Yikes

Agree. Averaging 2.5 goals, 3 contested marks, 12.5 Disposals. Someone has to look likely to beat that first before we talk dropping Taberner.

Btw very, very decent stats when he really carries something.

Using him properly, finally. He literally injured himself to breaking with his 12 k games with 20 disposals and 10 marks on the wing, with only a goal to show for it.
One on one, rarely loses.

 

[Schauermann]

Well, when other results could really get a decent ladder position this round.

And all that while having below average games. How will he look if he has a good game...
