Strategy Changes Round 6: Melbourne Demons vs. Fremantle Dockers

[Deveraux]

I feel a bit silly for not knowing..

Who else didn't know that Tom & Oscar are brothers? They could be matched up on eachother this weekend

 

[Quazar2]

When do the teams get announced?

pretty sure it's 4:25 now daylight savings has ended (??)

Melbourne - need to get the contest right. They have one the inside 50 count 4 out of 5 games. Need to be better around stoppages that the practice match where they touched us up.

Interesting stat noted by the Shinboner: Melbourne 18th for retaining possession from inside 50s and 18th for scoring shots per inside 50 this season. Given we’re constantly improving our scores from the back half, Melbourne winning the I50 count could actually help us score more!

I thought it was common knowledge . Sorry.

McDonald in for Voss, just the one change made.

Existing structure chosen over picking good players.

 

[Tundrawolf]

van Rooyen and Fritsch dropped for the DEES

 

[Alfonz]

Pickett aside, that Melbourne forward line looks atrocious on paper. VFL standard.

 

[Eski3]

I'm somewhat relieved the Dees are considering this to be their "senior players on notice" game. Really hope it goes as well for the Dees as it did for West Coast last week

Our defence will eat them up.

Actually just like-for-like rolewise, which is what you do if you're playing decent footy.

Bit shocked that the Dees dropped Van Rooyen and Fritsch who are probably 2 of their more threats of kicking goals

Trying to start the Goodwin sacking a couple of weeks early by the looks of things.

I would like this. But there are no good players to pick.
Reidy sucks
Brodie was poor
Erasmus isn’t going to come in.

It the only change that make sense.

Pickett looked very proppy in some vision of their captains run.

 

[FreoRicci]

Melbourne dropped Fritsch and JVR AND decides to keep Perry?

Goodwin just want to be sacked

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

If we don’t keep the Dees below 60 points with that forward line I’ll be disappointed.

Is Wagner stil unfit or available but not picked?

Can see Petracca going full forward for this. None of Fremantle’s defenders can match him for strength AND agility. Pearce will struggle.
But it’ll just be easier to double him anyway

 

[FreoRicci]

Calf.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s worst then first though. No way is ‘calf awareness’ one or two weeks

 

[Andy Brennan]

Could we 186 them and send Goodwin to Centrelink?

 

[heypenny]

Could we 186 them and send Goodwin to Centrelink?

I'll just be happy with the 4 points thanks. I don't care what happens to Goodwin.

With the pressure that JL started the year under, he needs to start taking some scalps.

 

[Feathercap]

As expected Omac gets the nod. jlo loves his Structure. I like it - overall the quality difference between omac and Voss is not massive. Team rolls on.

No lever so put omac on May and contest everything that comes. Amiss plays higher.
