Preview Changes V Fremantle

[richolovesgoal]

Why would the club get rid of a good quality 25yo bottom tier depth player with out and out elite speed and endurance and good foot skills? Will never be in our best 22, but injuries and suspensions do occur.

White has always had all the attributes to become a gun, but he rarely puts it togehter on field. He's had 5 or 6 years in the system, I think his time has come.

In regards to this week, I think we are a sneaky. We tend to play quite well over there, and we're starting to play well again as a whole. Obviously the key is stopping Pav, Rance can do it, whether he will though is another question.

Crowley stopped Deledio last time we played which obviously contributed to our lack of run and spread. If we let Freo play the game on their own terms we will get done, but if we can play with confidence and move the ball quickly we will give ourselves every chance.

Interestingly, Paul Roos has demonstrated a couple of times this year that Freo with Sandilands are much much worse off at clearances than without him. The stats were very damning for the first ten or so rounds this year with him vs the rounds when he has been out. Will be interesting to see what they do.

He is so big and dominant other teams rove to him. I think his hitouts to advantage are at the bottom end of the established rucks.

Sandi has only played 9 games but Freo are 15th for clearances and 13th for i50s, and we are ranked 7th clearances and 4th i50s. We are also ranked 2nd for the least opponent i50s and 4th for least opposition clearance.

The weather is fine, 24 and sunny, and if we are switched on this could be a cracker. The only thing im not looking froward to is Lyon coached teams choke us big time.

 

[True Thylacine]

If it aint broke dont fix it...no change

 

[Groupie_]

Let's hope they bring in Sandilands

 

[Bazzar]

And it looks as though Fyfe is still in doubt

Probably injured himself on purpose because he still barracks for us

In all seriousness though, he is a gun and will tear us up if he plays.

 

[tunksy]

awesome.

if crowley tags lids again we need to get grigg to rip it up. and have conca playing a pure mid role, not tagging this week.

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Lids should be sent to Hill, as he did to Wells when we played Nth Melbourne. If Crowley is going to take him out, we need to at least even up the ledger.

this is going to be interesting as to what we try to do. i wouldnt mind sacrificing a player to line him up and let him know we wont put up with the holding on.

That would be very very handy if he missed

honestly i think this is the best idea Hill's run cuts teams apart and i think we can fully trust lids to negate this with his speed and physical pressure, unless of course he has a stinker and then it is in Cotchin's masterclass i trust to carry us .

 

[Dragonss]

If cotchy gets tagged out we're doomed

 

[WATiger86]

I know crowley did a good job on lids last time around, but surely Crowley will go to Cotch given his recent form?!

Hill and Lids head to head - damaging game breakers
Mundy and Tuck Head to head - clearance machines
Martin and Deboer? - hard nuts
Fyfe/Barlow and Jackson? - jacko doing a run with role?

 

[Groupie_]

The Cotch is too good to be effectively tagged.

 

[pavsbootlace]

As is The Lake Grace Marvel.

Cotchin Vs Fyfe is a mouth-watering match up. Can't wait! Should be a close one.

 

[Spoken4]

Ross Lyon is "extremely confident" that Fyfe will play.

I bet King would put his hand up for that job

 

[UpTheGuts]

Righteo then. Would expect him to.

I think we've learnt in the past to believe the exact opposite of what Ross Lyin says.

Well then that would be great! Now I'm confused.
I know he tripped over suitcase, but did he roll down a flight of stairs or something?

Wasn't he playing footy in his room lol?

Richo was his favourite player, so perhaps he was specky-ing the couch screaming "Richardsonnnnnnnn"!!!

Reckon Crowley will go to Lids again. Worked last time when they beat us.

 

[Spluff]

Just let Lids play before making any drastic moves. He's beaten Crowley before.

Yep let him play. If Crowley wants to go to him goodluck. Lids will be smarting from the last time and expect him to bouce back with a big game this week
