Strategy Changes: Round 3 West Coast Eagles vs. Fremantle Dockers

[The Feeder Club]

JOM missing is shit though, I have really liked his start to the year

 

[s_wd6]

Sure, which nine players out of the 22 playing today are you dropping to fit these nine guaranteed starters in?
Voss, Dudley, Worner, Banfield. Possibly Erasmus. Five at absolute most
It's an exaggeration, we don't have nine of our best 22 out.

Fyfe and Walters absolutely would've been in if fit.

I'm guessing Sturt makes it 9? But I don't think he's b22.

 

[Randomizor]

No Brodie is such a WTF decision. Surely JOM’s illness didn’t appear today, they would have know this was a risk

 

[Lach72]

Is there a flavour worse than vanilla or lower down the rung, in flavour lore?!

Because it's about to taste like that me thinks. Ouch

Poop?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Darcy, Wagner, JOM, Young and Switta the only walk up.best 22s at this stage probably? Fyfe, Walters and Sturt in the best 28ish? Who else am I missing?

 

[Quay Club]

Dont despair, Commeth the hour Commeth the Banners.

Glendenning Allan medal coming his way on his 100th.

Kepler is probably still around the mark.

Walker

Walker definitely b22 still. Walters would be getting games over Dudley or Banfield. I'd say that's 7 b22. Fyfe 50/50 and Sturt not there.

 

[Lach72]

We need Bolton to cut sick today to have a chance.

Again which 9 are you dropping? It's nonsense, we don't have a guaranteed best 22 with 9 missing. If we did we could easily name 9 guys we want out of the side to be replaced by the likes of Switta and Sturt

Could have gone down with it yesterday afternoon, Peel had already played so it didn't matter.

Love how having nine of your best 22 out is apparently "not an excuse". Would be a reasonable excuse for every other club in the comp but not us apparently

A few problems:

1. It's West Coast. Should be beating them regardless, and I'd hold any team with finals aspirations to that standard. Carlton did them last year with like 28 players fit.
2. You put yourself in a position where certain games are must-win by losing. If we beat Sydney, I could see half a case where losing to West Coast isn't quite panic stations.
3. Freo have been waxing lyrical about this tremendous depth we have. And have a Peel premiership to back that up to an extent. Time to back up the talk.

Warner starting over Aish is predictable and unbelievably stupid. No justifying that decision.

Best small defender is out and our second best rebounder and JL plays Warner. Moronic

It's not so much a Best 22 but 22 that didn't get lost on the way to the ground.

 

[Lach72]

Eagles by 6 goals I’d say.

They’ll pressure us early and heads will drop

Playing youth policy can get ridiculous. Aish should have started.

Beating both Geelong and Sydney but losing to West Coast would still cause the panic.

WC are supposed to be rubbish, the expectation is that they are a soft kill.

As if there are easy wins in AFL.

 

[2big2strom]

wish the wombat all the best in his debut today would love to see him and Bruce combine for some crafty goal scoring!

 

[mattis117]

Brodie for JOM?

Yet just lit Aish as sub.

Cant ****ing dumb can the coaches be

Brodie played a full game yesterday... But yeah conspiracy theories and all...

 

[ilikepotatoes]

All of Fyfe, Walters and O'Meara (barring the last 2 games as an inside mid) realistically haven't shown enough to be considered best 22 on form.

The lack of experience and the leadership lost in the replacements is the bigger issue.

Our most experienced player today is Aish and he's the sub. Next best is Ryan on 157.

Should be first emergency. Not Worner. Watch him turn the ball over.
He doesn’t stand out for Peel. What makes the coaches think he can at AFL level

And up until the last 2 games the vast majority of the board have wanted him dropped.

As I said in my post.

JOM has been our best player this year. There is no argument that he isn't b22.
