Preview Changes v Freo

[An Ardenary Life]

This is so cute and wholesome somehow. Fired up now and even dug out the Zac Fisher badge I bought as an ironic gesture after one of 2024's late season shellackings.

C'mon North (and Zac - add to your career tally of 1 Brownlow vote!)

The way things go Fisher will win the game for us with a four goal game, kicking the winning one after the siren.

 

[Rod Stroker]

It’s also shaping up to be a sheezel 40+ game

on what grounds? Their midfield just got even stronger this week with Young and O'Meara

[Rod Stroker]

Just looking at the line ups, some key outs for the dockers with cox & Johnson.

Johnson has been doing good jobs on the best mid. He would have definitely taken on LDU, so it makes LDU’s job easier. Although O’meara in might take on that role. Oscar McDonald

comes in for Cox. Darling and/or Trembath need to take hold of Oscar.

Other than Freo’s key forward threat, Murphy Reid looms large playing high as a forward. On paper, it looks like it might be a Daniel v Reid match up which worries me. If Reid plays high and Caleb roles back as the +1 we are ****ed. Makes the Fisher inclusion more puzzling. Blamires would have been ideal as a defender/tagging option on Reid.

they got stronger this week.
Young would be in their top 5 players.
O'Meara is a battle hardened mid who goes alright.
McDonald is decent.

He had finger tendon surgery during the bye.

finger surgery to play on Hands oval

Hah. I was going to say 3, but I'm prepared to give him 4.

O’Meara is past it only 3 games this year, not best 23 with a full list.
McDonald is a big downgrade for Cox.
Young counters the outs but it’s a reach to say they are stronger.

  to stop them exiting out of their backline with ease
• Jy to Serong
• Wardlaw to Brayshaw
• Stephens/Fisher to get back and cover as many of their raids as possible.

Everyone else play your role per what the Captain barks on about each week. Maybe he might do that this week which would be nice.

 

[JZTIME!]

O’Meara is past it only 3 games this year, not best 23 with a full list.
McDonald is a big downgrade for Cox.

Young also on managed minutes this week

 

[Its a Process]

• Kont to run with Jordan Clark or Hayden Young to stop them exiting out of their backline with ease
• Jy to Serong
• Wardlaw to Brayshaw
• Stephens/Fisher to get back and cover as many of their raids as possible.

No Serong to worry about.

maybe Jy to Shai?

Serong not playing. Young will play mid/fwd. I think Jy will tag Bolton or we back our midfield to go head to head. Brayshaw not in top form, Young has had an interrupted season and not at peak fitness.

We can win the midfield battle. Not sure about anything else.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

As I said, I was just the messenger.

I wish I had been wrong.

It'll be Fisher.

Search your feelings.

I have found the culprit.

Bring out the guillotine.

 

[giantroo]

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

Keen to see McKercher play more midfield.

On that basis, I’d say Dawson plays more in defence.

 

[zoomba23]

We've got no one to go with Bolton. Jy probably the least unsuitable option but that doesn't imply he's overly suitable for the job either.

**** me their list is good, how have these campaigners not made a prelim since Ross

 

[chubbspeterson]

Expect one snap on goal that doesn't register a score.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Bolton and Murphy Reid would be who I'd be clamping. Simpkin and Hardemann perhaps?

 

[King Corey]

Yeh they're another crows, so balanced across their list, high quality core and find players with both early picks and peripheral means.

And neither has achieved 9 10ths of **** all in a decade+. It's weird.

 

[Twangler]

Send Simpkin to quell Bolton. LDU, Sheez, Wardlaw can head to head with Brayshaw, Young and Reid (when he’s playing midfield). Don’t think omeara plays much midfield these days

 

[tazaa]

What a relief, Ryan Daniels can rest easy

For some reason Ryan Daniels has a bit of a fanbase out west.


I called him out on his tweet which was nothing short of wishful thinking that just because FOS got knocked out in the clash with X, that Tristan himself would be in doubt.
No other journo ran the story. Not least those that reside in Melbourne and not half way across the other side of the ****ing country.

Then I was shocked to realise that X has a history of concussion issues? Really? News to me.


Anyway - before this week I didnt mind Freo but old mate Ryan Daniels seems to have a large Freo fan club that also were wishing X was concussed this week, so they can all go **** themselves.

North by 30.

 

[Passmore]

Very strong looks likely. Oh boy, wowsers he can play but ain't popular that's for sure.

Be interesting

He looks popular with some. Zurhaar, Logue, Stephens....ok...not great...

 

[winalotroos]

This is the biggest test the boys have had so far this year, , they have had some tests that they didn’t do well in but we know what can happen when they get their shit together, I am hoping they can get their shit together tomorrow and give us another good weekend.
