Changes: Round 8 Vs Richmond

[FreoGirl]

We've named the same extended squad for #AFLFreoTigers with Cox, Duman, Darcy and Bewley coming in

Very surprising

The teams not playing that well that Blakely should be left out again. Get him in FFS

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Wow why is there still no Blakely? Gotta say that's a sigh of relief on our end.

 

[bushchook]

Can only assume he hasn't hit desired fitness KPIs yet.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Yeah that’s crap. Bet Blakely is pissed off. He didn’t go on another surfing trip did he?

 

[FreoRicci]

No Blakely.. really?
But Duman in? Ha

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Also when was the last time Duman actually played?

 

[FreoRicci]

Wow why is there still no Blakely? Gotta say that's a sigh of relief on our end.

Probably not fit, yet. Still a strong midfield against yours.

Hope it’s Cox and Darcy in
McCarthy and Colyer out

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Wow, no Blakely.

If he isnt carrying some sort of injury concern it's BS
Blakey was big for us last year and would stand up to what I expect Richmond will throw at us this week
There are at least 4 playerst hrough mid-HB I can think of in the team that would be below him in the best 22

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Sorry but that's rubbish if he's fully fit. Ross being overly stubborn again

 

[ImperialPurple]

Odd and annoying

This is assuming Blakely comes in and picks up where he left off mid last year or whenever it was.

Maybe he isn't AFL match ready?

I'm sure there is pretty good logic behind the decision.
We are going well. Time to put a little trust in the coach and players and not jump at shadows when someone has one offish game.

Blakely will be back when the time is right, I'm sure.

 

[Spirit Level]

What the ****

 

[Allikat]

I wouldn't be surprised if Blakely's not 100% yet. It was a pretty decent injury.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Was looking fwd to Fyfe, Mundy, Blakely and Walters in the middle for the bouncedown this weekend...
How good would that look

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Probably not fit, yet. Still a strong midfield against yours.

Gets 20+ touches two weeks in a row and isn't fully fit? Doesn't add up for me.

 

[Rion]

Guess Blakely must not be fit. Wouldn't mind seeing Colyer lose his spot to Duman/Bewley but I can't really see it happening so expecting no changes from that.

 

[Belnakor]

I wouldn't be surprised if Blakely's not 100% yet. It was a pretty decent injury.

considering our recent history with soft tissue injuries i'm not adverse to taking a slowly slowly approach with top talent like him.

 

[Square Peg]

Is it too early to start a round 9 Changes thread? This one's turned into a fizzer.

 

[Righteo]

too early to speculate over more illicit surfing sojourns?

 

[Moonrat]

Perhaps a wary S&C decision. Given the soft tissue history?
He's been out 10 months although did get a big training block in early pre-season.

Maybe they are being conservative and building him.
I'm good with the decision.

Current team has been competitive EVERY single game so far. Back them in for now.

 

[arsesmart]

Gets 20+ touches two weeks in a row and isn't fully fit? Doesn't add up for me.

Bit of a different fitness standard between AFL and WAFL though.

I don't always agree on an ultra-cautious approach (not sure that's gotten Freo anywhere in the past), but I'd imagine the thinking is that what's riding on this one game is nothing compared to having him right to go for the rest of the season and beyond.

 

[MadMundy]

I'm ok with Blakely wanting to ensure he's 100% fit if that's what this is. But plz no Cox in, I'd rather keep McCarthy another week

I was hoping for Blakley in.

I expect Darcey in.
Maybe Hogan or McCarthy out.

Anyone else and we are too tall.
