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

[Bastyy]

Cool but also, huh?

 

[King Huskii]

I mentioned Dudley stood out at training and that JLO should pull the trigger and get him in.

 

[2big2strom]

dudley debut!! he's got some smooth skills this kid, can't believe how far he's come since his train on sessions. hope this doesn't signal Bolton to be a late out though...

 

[freo_leo29]

Does the Freo article indicate Dudley will definitely be starting 22?

Yeah

 

[freo84]

Dudley debut!

 

[DragoDelph]

 

[Joao]

Suddenly I want to watch. LFG Deadly!

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

How many head high free kicks does he average a game?

Hopefully lots to come..
If we can't beat the likes of Hawthorn and Collingwood on head high free kicks we might as well get some as well

 

[freo_leo29]

Will say though, I am surprised that Dudley gets a game in 2025 before Kozzy does

 

[s_wd6]

Will lose it if Reidy or Worner make the cut tbh

 

[One_Wing]

we are very desperate for a small forward lol. Hope he can bring the pressure and kick some snags.

That's how they get you

Interesting to see it with Aish out (assuming that they’ve blacklisted him). Would probably be under 70 or something.

Yeah, will get the updated tomorrow.

It's interesting. Frustrating that we're still under that threshold, but interesting.

Missing 6 of our b22. We literally have no experienced depth outside of Aish

Surprised the average height didn’t get brought down a couple centimetres

 

[south beach]

Lets pretend we won by 3 points last week and Voss didn't make that howler. I'd give him another go.

Replacing walker, our small defender stocks are worrying. To be honest our last good one was spurr. Between Draper and Chappy they have it covered i feel but not surprised to see a bag kicked on them. I don't see the value in worner and no idea why Aish has dropped off the face of the earth. Worner is the very JL decision to replace walker...

other changes? Give Ras another go. Banfield needs to go, love to see Simpson or even Dudley tbh.

likely: Out: Walker (inj) In: Worner
love: Out Walker (inj), Banfield In: Simpson Aish

Objectively, Amiss and Freddy should also be in the Gun as their starts to the year have been poor. Can Amiss try ruck, couldn't be worse than reidy....? Tracey and Amiss are around the same height.

It would be nice if they honoured his leads.

Where are people seeing Dudley won't be sub? I don't get any indication from the article

 

[swanny1234]

I’d say Aish and Dudley for Walker and Banfield…

 

[FreoRicci]

Will lose it if Reidy or Worner make the cut tbh

Will be both, I reckon. This puts us at even with West Coast

 

[The Feeder Club]

Agreed, sub most likely

 

[The Lobbster]

I’d say Aish and Dudley for Walker and Banfield…

Surely it’s more likely Draper starts for Walker, Dudley replaces Banners in the starting team and Banners replaces Walker as sub. You could also swap Banners and Dudley depending on whether we do a debut sub or not.

We generally liked playing seven defenders but went up to nine against Geelong for no reason and then to eight against the Swans. I reckon the only reason we’ve been playing eight is to fit Draper in.

I guess you could have Aish sub as well.

Issiah Dudley confirmed in the team.

The club has confirmed this? He's on the extended bench on the afl site so could still be cut
