Strategy Changes: Round 4 Fremantle vs. Western Bulldogs

I think Sharp is cooked with JOM back. I'd even play Banners there over him at the moment, he's completely devoid of confidence and in a contract year, that's a bad spot to be.

Please make the backline smaller, its not going to work but you know they'll stick with it. Wagner should come in. Maybe Chapman to the wing?

Stick Young on one of the wings for all I care, if he's ready to go, he plays.

I have no idea what they di with Fyfe, Ras and Johnson sont deserve to be dropped IMO.
 
Young straight swap for Worner (agree should be eased back)
Aish or Chappy to wing (allows Young to move to mid later in game if desired/needed)
Sharp out
Everything else leave as is. Fyfe could come in for Ras but shouldn't; need to give the kid a run at it. JOM or Aish as sub.
Wagner give a week if feeling a calf.

I don’t mind the backline even being tall. Draper did a good job on Liam Ryan. The only goal Ryan got was that stupid error Sharp did where he thought sliding along on his knees early was a good idea. Chapman just played his best game for sometime and was singled out by the coach afterwards.

I’d be very surprised if Young comes in off no games.

I don’t get a lot of confidence from JL on Fyfe coming in. Some potential for him to be sub. If Young does come in potentially he could be sub.

We agree on Sharp. He is so one sided when it comes to kicking it has become a problem.

I don't remember there being an announcement that he had rejoined main training so I'd say your right. Alot of posters suggesting he could be an IN this week, wishful thinking I recon. Give him another week of full training and get him right.

JLo said during the week that both Young and Darcy will play this upcoming week but said Darcy would probably need time at Peel but implied Young could come straight in

If Hayden Young is 100 percent fit, bring him in.


I don't want to drop Frederick.

Walters is still not available. Frederick, Dudley and Shai Bolton looks like a good rotation of small Forwards

Freddie isn't going out yet, but if Walters, Sturt, and Switta were fit I feel he would be out.
 
JOM the obvious first in, and Warner the first out.
Sharp injured? Hopefully young in.

Would like to see Fyfe in, but I’m guessing it might be only 1 of Fyfe or young. So maybe a week in the twos for young.

If Wagner has calf awareness I’m assuming he misses, so Aish stays in.

Going a bit early.

Out: Sharp, Worner, Aish

In: Young, JOM, Wagner

Darcy likely to need a week with Peel and Switta still one more week away.

Nah I want Aish in.
He’s smart, get involves in little play. He can take Worner’s spot. He doesn’t belong at AFL.

The 3 ins are very eh.
Clark was able to get loose with Wagner out. (maybe Walker as well).
JOM. He deserves a spot. But as a long time view, really wish the club just move on from players of his calibre. But I have never been a fan of his, and he was great last week.
 
Concern is players like Dudley, Murphy Reid will get dropped due to older players fit.
Actually don’t want them to. Reid is just class not matter what’s the age. Should be in for the season.

What is Switkowski, Sturt, Walters going to bring that’s adding more?

Switkowski should, IMO, be getting game time with Peel due to only playing half a match in round 1. There’s no way he’s fit enough.
 
I’ll accept Fyfe needs to be in this team if anyone can name me [emoji637] slow , immobile inside mid who can’t kick or tackle much that is performing well in the AFL rn

I mean it’s not that. It’s more how refined his role is.
Adelaide are doing it well with Crouch, who is slow as they come and can hardly tackle.

Having FYFE AND JOM? Will be destroyed.
Watch the coaches bless JOM with the wing spot at the expense of Sharp. So predictable.

HF: Bolton Cox Reid
FF: Dudley Treacy Amiss

R: Jackson Serong Brayshaw

I: Johnson O'Driscoll Aish Frederick

Beating a dead horse here but unless Chapman plays on the wing either he or Draper has to go. Too tall and too unbalanced. I'd play both ahead of Luke Ryan but that's pure wishful thinking.

Banfield a bit lucky, he is class below the level needed in his role. The out of bounds on the fall was shocking.

That was a beautiful moment for Banners in his 100th. Just like kicking a goal for other players.

Reid is playing the whole year bar injury but there is definitely room for Switta in the team & even Walters.

Its a long season and very rarely is everyone available from here on out.
 
The last 2 times we've beaten them Libba hasn't played, so he makes a big difference to their clearances against us, but it's the next tier players after the Bont that receive from contests that we've also had trouble stopping in the past.

Dale, Richards, the other Bailey Williams, and Bramble had a good game against us last time - maybe that was one out of the box, along with Rhylee West who kicked a bag in their forward line. Still no Bont, no Treloar, no Weightman.

Hopefully Young is back to play some the midfield because we need clean entries with Lobb and Jones quite capable of taking a heap of marks with ill-directed bombs into our forward 50m.

We will be a different side next week if young is fit.
Today was good for a bit of a confidence builder.
There were a lot of players out of form in games 1 & 2.

Fyfe is not a walk up start anymore but please show respect.

Not playing him probably is respect at this stage ,

Bring him in for a few wet games once the pace slows down or for specific tagging jobs on your Cripps/Heeny/Bont types

Other than that I can see it looking pretty ugly
