Prediction Changes v Fremantle (Round 4)

[Unorth]

We gave up 10 coaches votes to Xerri and 8 to TDK.

Darcy would monster the game if English’s form persists, would be good for us if he doesn’t play.

He's not going to. They still have Jackson, they don't need Darcy

i have met Tim a few times he is a really nice guy maybe too nice to play angry and aggressively. If he could put these traits into his game he would be one of the leading ruckman in the game.

 

[fanchic]

Did you guys see the benchmarking option in AFL stats, really help me to understand where the team is at.

 

[fargy]

Does anyone know if we are spending the week west (or half west), or coming back to Melbourne in between?

 

[perro_loco]

When Bont, JJ, Treloar and Cody are back there is going to be serious competition for spots. Exactly what we need.

Sad to say this, but JJ is cooked imo.

NO CHANGES!

 

[TMoney22]

NO CHANGES!

he will retire before the season ends, it was obvious even before he was injured. I get the human side of it but not the best list management decision to keep him on

 

[Spiritof82]

NO CHANGES!

He's been cooked for the past 8 years, should've been delisted years ago

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Man the freo board really hate Rory Lobb.

 

[Pencil case]

One of their best players and leading goal kicker leaves for a couple of second round picks and becomes a cult hero in AA form.

Why wouldn’t they hate him?

 

[Libbaaaa]

Man the freo board really hate Rory Lobb.

Cracked the sads that he supposedly front loaded his deal and then when he was on a lower wage demanded a trade out.

2017?

 

[Mofra]

Man the freo board really hate Rory Lobb.

"Oh yeah? Well we're just gonna love him harder!"

[Bulldogs85]

I like it should keep the hair like this for the rest of the year

I have no idea with this happened with Rory or not but as a general rule I would be filthy if a player did this to us. I suppose it’s the risk clubs take with front loaded deals.

The rumour with Treloar is he did the Pies a favour by agreeing to back-loading his contract, then they put him on the market as he was hitting the years with bigger $$$ (plus their incompetent list management), hence them paying a fair portion of his salary in his initial years with us, so it works both ways.

I don't disagree with you btw, but yeah clubs take the risk, but like us with Dunkley, have the option to hold a player to his contract. That then opens the can of worms about holding a player to a contract if he doesn't want to be there.

Who'd be a list manager?

Its still money that is owed to you at the end of the day. It isn't unusual for clubs to request players to take more money up front as well, sometimes even right at the end of the year before the books turn over for another 'AFL' year.

Hope the Lobster can put the bite on the Docker's forwards, and they have a bad hair day.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Fyfe not playing at any level this week, Darcy via the WAFL and Hayden Young a chance to come straight back.

 

[Doggy]

"Motivation for a big win this wekend. Hope JT runs straight through him and his stupid haircut on Sunday afternoon."

Lol Freo. Rent free.

Was a tweet yesterday that Young is still more likely to go through WAFL

 

[bobs head soup]

Forgotten how long these 9 day break games feel, although a good thing for the players no doubt.

Reckon this is a great chance for us to pinch a game as underdogs (according to the bookies).

Freo seem unsettled and down on confidence.

Reckon the fast deck will suit the way we are playing at the moment.

A win and 3-1 would be massive for our season.

No-one deserves to be dropped, although at least one set of fresh legs may be a good move (we have played 2 of 3 games in very hot, sapping conditions).

We should be super keen to have a real crack - counting down the hours.

 

[seaweed]

A nine day break after the intensity of Fridays game will hopefully be beneficial, a lot of them were absolutely gassed by the end of it.

Would keep Dolan as the sub, his impact in the last was great, precisely when we needed the fresh legs and pace.

 

[Iamspock]

Man the freo board really hate Rory Lobb.

Hypocrites.

I was more thinking of the case where the player wants out. Say his amount is $1 for 4 years. His contract states $1.5M in years 1 and two and $500k for the last two. After year 2 player says I want out and want to go to Pies. Is our only option to force him to stay for the last two years when he doesn’t want to be there?
