Strategy Changes: Round 7 Fremantle Dockers vs Adelaide Crows

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Rachele on the plane

Fogarty didn't travel


Dno how we take on Rachele and Rankine tbh

Clark has to go to Rankine and change his game stile to be more defensive. Chappy takes Rachele whith I dont mind.

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

Match-ups critical this weekend. i was hoping for and glad we got Narkle in to throw them a curveball.

Switta was horrendous last week and its clear he's not 100% over his injury that kept him out. His pressure was woeful as he played mostly on Bower who tore us apart. Fully fit Switta is in my team but not Switta still recovering from injury is sub.

Horrendous hey? Nobody else worthy of being dropped, but Switta's 10 score involvements, which was equal second on the ground, is worthy apparently?

Horrendous take from you

Considering how much time Rankine spends in the midfield, I wouldn't have thought so

Kozzy spent alot of time in the mids on the weekend too

Didn't stop him kicking 5

So you want Clark playing on Rankine? No thanks, disaster written all over it. Kossie also kicked goals from the middle

 

[Alfonz]

Peatling will be a big in for Crows considering he is their main tagger and the first step in beating us is to tag Serong out of the game.

I want Walker playing on him but thats not an option

It'll need to be one of Clark or Wagner, don't mind making Clark more defensive, has been shit offensively this year

Chapman?

 

[sumavich]

Longmuir trusts his structure, he backs in the structure. Doesn't change the structure when its not working.
He is not a good match day coach lbh

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

He plays a ton as a half forward that is the highest half forward but basically as an attacking midfielder.

Surely you'd want Chapman on him, not our only decent rebounder who originally got pantsed by Kossie last week.

Rankine attends plenty of centre bounces. 3 games of 20+ attendances in there, one sub effected game which was around 15.

 

[freo_leo29]

Chapman?

Chapman goes to Rachele, plays a bit taller than Rankine does, more suited to Chappy's strengths

 

[dominguez]

Aish to run with Rankine. Makes it simple, Aish can play onball and in defence.

God no thanks. Rachelle is alright, but I reckon we can get way with Worner/Wagner type on him.

Ah no. Rankine plays basically as the most attacking midfielder who starts in the centre square often but who plays more like a half forward in general play. I want Brayshaw to man him at centre bouncedowns and Clark to take him in general play.

Chappy is way more suited to playing on someone who stays closer to goal.

Rankine probably too quick for Chappy though and Chappy would lose him on the groundball, atleast Rachele is more of a lead up player

Way too slow, probably gets dropped for Wagner

I want Clark as far away from Rankine as possible personally. Kossie showed Clark what lazy defensive accountability looks like last week and it's about time Clark starts taking the game on more this season, so playing on Rankine won't help with that whatsoever

Horrendous take from you

Geez you can be condescending. Watch the replay if you have Kayo. His score involvements were actually a ton of over handballing that resulted in players being more pressured than he was resulting in shots under pressure and from pockets. He was so lacked penetration with his disposals that he had less metres gained than Dudley did in a quarter and his defensive pressure was truly woeful as Bower destroyed him. Its clear if you watch a replay his pressure has been greatly effected by the fact he had an injury absence. Switta has had many good games with 13 possessions by doing a lot off the ball. He had a terrible game with his direct opponent dominating against Melbourne. Along with Banfield, Switta was a major reason why Melbourne got so much run out of half back against us. Yes. He was woeful.

Chappy's actually super quick.

Resorts to insults because I'm defending one of our players? Good one champ, very brave of you

You were the one going the condescending route and I simply pointed that out. Swtta's fumbles and lack of penetration was pointed out by many in the game thread here.

 

[Perfect Purple]

Rachele and Rankine will smash us up forward.
Think we lose, but it'll be how we lose that will be the interesting part.
I agree with above, this is Longmuir's most important game in his tenure.

Not so sure about that. Even though Rachelle will be playing, he is coming back from a rib injury and may not be fighting fit just yet like several of our returning players.

It will be good to see Narkle strut his stuff. Our new forward line additions of Reid, Dudley and Bolton have been fantastic and there’s no reason to think that Narkle won’t be just as exciting.
