No change unless Axel doesn't get up or push up is suspended.

Isn't it nice to have depth players stiff to be missing out.

So,

Out: Foley/King
In: Dea/Connors/Webberley

Depends what role they think we need to fill.

No change for mine although Jackson continues to be of concern. His decision making and disposal is still cringeworthy at times. Dropping houli is the dumbest thing written so far!!!
When the playing level is elevated, people will focus on the obvious mistakes. Houli does need to work on his kick outs and general awareness but definitely no need for him to be dropped.

AFL on tripping in regards to King:
Tripping
In determining whether a trip is above the level of impact to constitute a reportable offence, regard will be had to how fast the opponent was moving, whether the trip was by hand or by foot/leg and whether contact was made with a swinging motion.
Steve Johnson in Round 4 got a week for this (linking didn't work properly, skip to 2:43):

I'd say King is out

Tried to find an image of the incident but it's a bit blurry, there was better video of it on the Sunday Footy Show this morning but you could see him stick his leg out:

Personally don't think it's such a bad thing. We're not dropping King but it means we get to try a new player. Or it's just that we don't have to consider who to replace with Dea coming back in and we can throw Edwards up forward. Depends on the game style of Fremantle which I really don't understand yet.

Based off what exactly?

We're in good form, they're in shit form even in Perth. They can't travel and haven't won at the MCG for 5 years (10 games). We've beaten them 4 out of the last 5 times including flogging them last year convincingly.

We don't win this game and win it well we don't deserve finals. Case closed.
Hmm, our form has been down but might have turned the corner against Adelaide. And this year we do travel OK - two wins from four, including beating the Saints in Melbourne.

If we are switched on, we win by 50.
If Lyon decides to drag the game into the abyss like he can do, it could be a dogfight to the death.
Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
I don't think Freo are as bad as everyone is saying although they miss Fyfe a lot.
Let's hope Anthony plays.

I love my footy, but when Lyon was coaching Saints I would not evan watch them on TV. Just hope Ross Lyon does not go back to playing that style of footy just unwatchable for me. Changes by the way will be King out Dea in this allows big Ben to go CHF.
