Strategy Changes: Round 8 St. Kilda vs Fremantle

[mike91]

Gotta keep OMac in. No way can he be dropped after playing like that. You play yourself in and out as they say.

It's harsh, but it's business mate.

 

[Righteo]

It's a shame Sturt or Walters aren't fit. Feel one of them would really complete this forward line.

Sturt has all the tools to be a nightmare matchup and a premier medium fwd of the competition. sadly he is constructed of tissue paper.

 

[mike91]

Never gonna happen, but f**k me drop Johnson already. I'm sure I'll cop a lecture about how he's progressing, but no, he's garbage.

Out - McDonald

In - Jackson

If JOM is back, then out Narkle.

Sucks for Omac, he's been good and tonight was damn handy, but that's business

All the thumbs down from the triggered bias nuffies . Keep me comin' kids.

 

[Farrand]

O'Mac has been more serviceable than I thought he would be. Good depth. I think we miss Voss though. We need that Lenny presence running around

 

[sumavich]

Need to win, or it all means F all

 

[The Lobbster]

Gotta keep OMac in. No way can he be dropped after playing like that. You play yourself in and out as they say.

OMac’s reward is that I reckon he’s gone from almost certainly delisted to a 50/50 chance to stay in a fortnight (he may owe Vossy a beer).

However Jackson plays that role better at least 95% of the time so you’d be insane to not bring him in (if fit)

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Please for the love of God, keep Jackson out of the forwardline and around the ball in some way. Darcy with three weeks under his belt can give us first use and Dogga is wasted up front.

Finally, touch wood, we can see them play together how they were always supposed to.

I want us to trial Jackson midfield and keep O'Mac as third tall until Vossy gets back. There is a risk it will be too tall but you never know.

 

[stax on the mull]

He's carrying a niggle isn't he?

Mundy on the radio after the match said Sharp clocked up over 16km of running so he can't be suffering too much. They were making some joke about possessions per km. On the plus side the one kick he had was a short kick on the run that hit a target.

Who was his opponent? Seemed to be Nankervis for some of the game.

Sharp played 92% of the game. Only 5 touches. Narkle played 16% and got 3 touches and looked dangerous.

I feel like Sharp has been underperforming.

I thought it was weird that Sharp wasn't playing on the wing at the bounce, just at follow up stoppages. It looked like Freddy and Wagner were on the wing for the bounce, allowing us some serious speed either offensively or defensively if they make a fast break - but Sharp had been there before.

Sounded from the JL presser that JOM might be out of action for a bit unfortunately. More so with the foot injury.

Sharp range 16.1km during the game and as per the coach the team defended the ground well and Sharp played his part. Would like to get a bit more of the ball I’m sure.

OMac > Jackson

I still feel we are a bit tall in the backline. Erasmus if he plays well tomorrow at Peel can come into the mix for the travelling 24.

Johno is a big lad.
Starting to impose himself on the contest.
HE is just about to click

Out - Longmuir In - RTB

No way known Sharp gets dropped. He's been praised by JL and other players for hs selfless defensive running. He plays such a high percentage of game time because we lack options in terms of wings who can defend the fat side or open side of the ground. Him and NOD are the only team options we have.

 

[Vintage]

Swap Jackson and omac
And narkle and Dudley

 

[FreoRicci]

Then who goes for Jackson?
It’s unfortunate.

Definitely agree with Dudley being sub. He’s just not fit yet for the full game. Play Narkle in the 22. Feel like he can provide spark across half back/wing

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

I don't care, I want Johnson dropped.

Let's unleash midfield Jackson for once

I agree with others that Murphy Reid looks like he could need a week off as he was looking a bit tired tonight. Considering we're playing under a roof at Marvel (I dont think we'd do it as JL is so risk adverse) but id love to keep O'Mac in the team while having him rotate rotate forward, back and a bit o ruck. We could give Pearce and Cox a bit of bench time when back and also give Darcy more rest than usual. We then have Jackson play 33% ruck/midfield/forward. Hed be forward only when one of O"Mac, Cyclone or Amiss were on the bench. I cant see it happening but if it ever were to happen Marvel would be the best place to give it a try.

 

[bushchook]

It's harsh, but it's business mate.

Don't think it's guaranteed Jackson will be available next week.

 

[Wizard]

Full credit to worner aswell been a big hater but defs prefer him in the team to walker

**** he’s tough.

 

[Tbonefreo]

OMaC had 2 goals and 3 goal assists.

Honestly but I think I just love seeing the number 21 running around for freo again. Fk I miss barlow

Sounds like you're projecting, mate. Perhaps you need a break?

I noticed this; you could argue with the attacks that (particularly) Wagner setup and the space that Sharp filled defensively it worked a treat; wondering whether it was only an Adelaide thing, or whether we will be trying it against others?

Have to agree with this, he really has the thankless task of doing a ton of power running down the fast side of the wing, super noticeable at our seats in the level 5 behind the goals..

 

[dockerfemme]

I would go with keeping OMac in and playing Dogga in the midfield. Maybe Matt Johnson out. Don’t think it will happen.

I would go with keeping OMac in and playing Dogga in the midfield. Maybe Matt Johnson out. Don’t think it will happen.

Johnson won’t get dropped after 27 touches, I’d be tempted to give Cox a spell, Wagner moves back, Jackson can play wing/inside/Ruck. If Pearce and Draper are struggling in defence then Omac can swing back and Jackson swing forward.
