Prediction Changes v Hawthorn

[Joao]

I’m slightly scared that Bell didn’t mention Sturt on the injury update as having got through the WAFL game unscathed. For all we know both his legs could have snapped walking back to the car!

Is Logue the type of player that can come straight back in after injury or will he be needing time at Peel?

JL did mention that Logue looked "afl fit" I think last week so he might be right to go.

Yet Liam Henry is untouchable to criticism, go figure.

Not by me if the criticism is he’s not ready yet

I think he'd be best served to do so, as the club's social media channels are running hot with unhappy campers!

If I was head coach of a professional sports team I would 110% be basing my team selections on the outcry of the unwashed on Internet forums.

Whats the go for this week ? What have we heard so far?

Any mention of Treacy? Sturt kicks 5 but is he match fit? Does an injury proned Logue come in straight away and does the captain wait another week or two to be safe than sorry?

I have us winning regardless who comes in and out as there's pressure to win, the rainy weather helps them which if that happens becomes a 50/50. We must be fierce, ready to go the biff and do pressure acts throughout the game.

Watson or Dunman will come in to replace Young.
Crowden would be a like for like replacement for Shultz.

If those others above are ready, then you look at taking out Acres, Colyer, Henry, Hughes and Meeks of the world.

With regards to Sturt, if you watch the footage of his last goal you can see where his leg leaves his body, landing somewhere in the stands.

I agree he looks a touch off the pace right now, but he's not going to get used to the pace if he's not in the side. I think he should stay in, get up to the pace of the game. He did miss most of his draft year, played maybe 4 or 5 games now, and just completed his first pre-season.

 

[Dockeroo]

Actually felt that Henry did ok in the second half when he came on. Showed some flashes. Still think a few full games at Peel would suit him but he’ll be back in the AFL team this week I’m sure of it because of the injuries.

 

[malpaso]

At home we definitely need to get games into our X-factor players, wider ground, home crowd etc. Sturt, Henry, Frederick, speed to burn..

Well I don't advocate for his team selections to be based solely on the outcry of the unwashed on social media channels, but Ray Charles could see that Treacy would have assisted our forward line in the game just gone.

Bruce Reid in the 12th man style?

If Logue isnt 100% fit ths week, dont play him. At the worst I want him fully fit vs North in round 6

 

[Mogumber]

Raining Sunday, so now I reckon Sturt, Fyfe and Crowden if he's fit

 

[theGav56]

yep, however once that happens; i expect teams to switch and to start bullying and bashing serong and cerra.

There is much more than a small chance that Hawthorn will be physically intimidating this round.

Is it wider? Thought the AFL were homogenising them.

Line in the sand game for Jlo, The team and myself as a supporter.

I want to see some physicality, heart and passion from the team. Starts with Jlo imo, we all know what clarkos orders will be pre game!

We don't have a chance against crows rd 5 and (should) have north covered even with suspensions...i say lets come out swinging and go the body. We looked weak as water on Sunday lets be honest.

on Sunday at the Empire bar a few hours before the game. Probably a good indicator he's playing WAFL this week.

I dont mind going out swinging. But the last thing we want is more injjuries and suspensions.

I just want clean passages of play just like we were doing vs GWS in round 2.

Im sure that will change if he gets picked

With regards to Sturt, if you watch the footage of his last goal you can see where his leg leaves his body, landing somewhere in the stands.

I think you’ll find he already had the prosthetic leg on at that point. There’s no way a human leg could kick the ball that far!

 

[rgauci]

I think it’ll be:

Watson, Fyfe, Sturt

that’s it.

No Treacey (I think wafl have threatened to double his penalty should he play) and Logue will play Peel.

Can the WAFL do that? He’s been granted permission by the AFL to play in their comp and he’s sitting out his two weeks in the WAFL

“b) If any Person participates in another association whether affiliated or not, whilst still under suspension, that Person’s original penalty will automatically be doubled.”

 

[Square Peg]

That's been superseded I think.

Key forward Josh Treacy will be available for selection against Carlton in round three

The wafl have never said they won’t apply their penalty, the afl have said he can play afl.

The last paragraph seems pretty clear. Available for Freo from round 3, available for Peel from round 3
