Preview Changes Vs Dorkers Round 3

[Dark Sharks]

Please don't tell me we're doing the Butler/Bennell dance again.

FFS we know who offers more going forward and who is pure depth and on his way out.

 

[new breed]

Bennell could play midfield or wing rather then being dropped .

 

[RookiePick]

No chance of Nelson getting a rest for Butler?

I called Hill as an in earlier in the thread. McGinnity to sub maybe?

Duggan should play for EP if they don't want to give him a full game.

 

[Smotie]

Hopefully interchange will be Mcinnes, Bennell, Colledge, and Duggan.
Mcinnes the sub.

 

[jaxxon]

McGinnity to East Perth, I hope.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hopefully interchange will be Mcinnes, Bennell, Colledge, and Duggan.
Mcinnes the sub.

Why do you think that's a good idea?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hopefully interchange will be Mcinnes, Bennell, Colledge, and Duggan.
Mcinnes the sub.

Do you mean McInnes to be subbed off? I could see that happening if there's no injuries approaching quarter time.

Having a 198cm key position player as the starting sub isn't a great idea though

 

[dispute]

When are WAFL teams announced?

Yeah you are right. Having a runner would be better. Maybe duggan or College.

 

[WCErevival]

I see Colledge being the straight swap for Tunbridge. Bennell to sub

 

[twce13]

would be ok with hill for mcginnity (cripps can play defensive forward if need be) + colledge/mcinnes for tunbridge. Maybe even play hill as sub.

 

[illwizard]

Bennell could play midfield or wing rather then being dropped .

Has this ever happened before and I missed it? I would love if they gave him a chance on the wing

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Just heard on the radio that Fraser McInnes will debut sunday.

Emergencies being Butler Colledge and Hill

Congrats Fraser.

 

[new breed]

Might be his knee injury that restricts Bennell to the backline , has pace for the midfield so I still say its a good idea if his fitness is up to it .

Bennell might have played midfield for EP maybe !

 

[Double the Fist]

Butler? Hill? Did Hill play well to get a call up?

Disapointed Lamb didn't play TBH. Would like a full game from him.

 

[lmach]

The goal that McGinnity pulled out of his arse in the last derby could be keeping him in the side...

 

[Patron]

I don't really like any of the ins TBH. Wanted Lamb. Don't want bennell dropped.

 

[Bob Fossil]

Just heard on the radio that Farser McInnes will debut sunday.

Emergencies being Butler Colledge and Hill

Congrats Fraser.

Thanks mate.

 

[Doughboy]

Just read the teams...

We are in a heap of strife fellas.

 

[Masto]

Just read the teams...

We are in a heap of strife fellas.

Why?

 

[Doughboy]

Why?

Their talent v ours

 

[Masto]

Their talent v ours

That's a very general and vague answer. I think we have just as much talent - but we are a little younger, less experienced and less time in our coach's gameplan. No reason we shouldn't give them one hell of a fight. It's going to be a close game, just like last time.

Good luck to him.

I love your enthusiasm.

I'm actually slightly confident and I haven't been that in a long term in a derby. It was close until the last 10 minutes last time, I don't think Freo have improved that much (Crowley is a significant loss, Naitanui knows how to play Sandilands, Fyfe is dangerous and needs to be encouraged to kick rather than handball, Mayne needs to be shut down) and the game we turned on after the first quarter last week (hard, close tackling) combined with the fact that we actually have a plan on how to go up the middle suggests grounds for optimism. I'd be backing us for a win if Emac and Brown were there.
