Prediction Changes v Sydney

[Perfect Purple]

Rather they give it to Andy… at least until his signature has been collected.

Alex is out for at least four weeks.

Andy and Caleb alternate the Captain gig. Excellent training for both of them.

 

[Firesharter]

McDonald has won like 2 1v1 contests all year.... #donotrate

Amartey kicked 9 agains the crows a couple of weeks ago however

Amartey kicked 9 agains the crows a couple of weeks ago however

he got a few questionable free kicks

 

[FreoGirl]

Seems like we have spent the whole season being one game away from chocolates or boiled lollies.

It’s a weirdly tight season. With some teams completely swapping form halfway.

We, at least, are consistently inconsistent.

the fixtures have been like a Leyland Brothers' road trip - it's been set up for us to 'fail'. Luckily we've won a few away from home.

when Pearce went down it was like Fyfe put his leadership hat back on and was directing traffic. I feel like a few of them will be directing traffic, but most likely will be Serong as the main leader (they will say Brayshaw and Serong are doing the dual captaincy thing)

 

[VolgaBoatman]

So:
Walker in - Warner out
Draper or Hughes in - Pearce out
Wagner - sub

I think that's how it will be. Hughes probably gets in over Draper at the moment.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Justin flagged Draper as the likely option in his Seven cross.

So please god let's not inadvertently manifest a Hughes return.

Draper and Davies is going to be a really hard watch

 

[freo_leo29]

He also said they'll throw some things up at match committee


Not completely out of hope for the wildcard picks that some were throwing up lol

 

[MadMundy]

Draper and Davies with a massive task ahead of them, let's see if they're up for it.

 

[Taylor]

The midfield is going to need to slow the ball down to a crawl to protect the defense.

I'll take it over two hours of Fumbles McAnxiety looking around anxiously before somehow managing to find Papley laces out.

Yep I imagine we're gonna be playing some 'boring' football to protect the defence over the next month.

 

[Bud]

Play Treacy at Centre half back on Amartey.. play Voss at Centre half forward.. Draper doesn’t have form to play.. average at Peel last week..

I did the ladder predictor and we could sneak into 8th with 13 wins and a draw, that's just insane.. of course a fair few results would have to go against us to get that outcome.

We need to win 5 out of the last 9 to make this a sure thing.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Play Treacy at Centre half back on Amartey.. play Voss at Centre half forward.. Draper doesn’t have form to play.. average at Peel last week..

The two goals he might save, we lose in the 4 goals he kicks / creates up forward AND we mess with the rhythm of a guy who is absolutely humming. Not a chance this happens

 

[Firesharter]

he got a few questionable free kicks

Might kick 10 against us then

 

[Joao]

If we play Treacy at CHB I'm going to become a mod and pin the vent thread.

And I'm genuinely blown away that JL is considering playing Davies and Draper.

 

[Firesharter]

Our mids are good enough to break even with the Swans and we have nobody good enough to tag a midfielder anyway. I would go head to head in the midfield and use Banfield to put work into Blakey.

Freddy agrees with you

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

The midfield is going to need to slow the ball down to a crawl to protect the defense.

Think they’ll use Jordan to tag Clark again. Clark could sacrifice his game and lead Jordan into Mcdonald/Amarty leading lanes. Might be an option. Would play Wagner and Walker as the rebound options. Aish on Papley.

 

[Jezzitizle]

I think even on slow plays Draper and Davies won’t be able to effectively spoil.

Ah well, look forward to seeing if they show some fight.

Chappy and Ryan will have to play out of their skins, and it still probably won’t be enough against the afls pets.

 

[FreoGirl]

Might kick 10 against us then

Only if we get Stevic

 

[FreoGirl]

Just keep the ball in our forward line and we won’t need to worry about Pearce.
This is going to be very different to our last game against Sydney.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I just don’t think there’s any chance we will play both Draper and Davies. That leaves us far too vulnerable and inexperienced.
