Changes vs Freo

[kelvin_sheedy]

Outs: Merret, Davey
Ins: Jetta, NLM

I think 2 games in a row for Merret is enough at this stage. Let him go back to VFL and get a few games in the midfield.

I haven't been convinced by Davey. Kommer and Jetta forward might work better.

Recall Jetta having good games at Subi and doing well at VFL level.

NLM to come in as sub.

 

[Kyptastic]

No injuries, no changes. Winderlich is the only player not in the side that's an automatic in and he'll get one more VFL game for match fitness.

I think Jetta needs to be banging down the door before he gets picked again. He can't just have one good VFL game and get straight back into the seniors, otherwise he won't learn anything.

 

[bombermick]

No changes, unless Crameri is still sore. Merrett and Davey provide excellent pressure and both kicked a couple of goals.
A healthy list means Crameri had to have that sort of game,

 

[morebeer]

No changes if possible. We have plenty of options such as Jetta and NLM but happy with the roles the incumbents are playing and rather some continuity. Licha automatic in when fit.

 

[Bombers36]

Kommer the only one I think might come out and I reckon Jetta will come in.
It will be great to have Winders back in the side but they are saying he'll play another game in the VFL and Jetta has done enough to get a start on Friday against Freo.

Edit: Dont think there's any chance Merrett will be 'rested' or dropped as some suggest. hes been great in both games particularly last night with 2 goals, 7 tackles and 14 pressure acts.

 

[Coldacre]

no changes please.

 

[Macca18]

No changes.

Consistency is the key.

 

[Loonerty]

No changes.
If one HAD to be made, Jetta in for Kommer but that's harsh on Kommer.

 

[blitzer]

No changes are really necessary. I'd probably move Merrett to sub this week though and Kommer into the main side. We will need the extra tackling intensity of Kommer, I don't think he is too effective as a sub to be honest. I mean he is in the side to harass the opposition and cause turnovers and create pressure, what's the point of only having that for a quarter?

Winderlich probably needs a full vfl game or else he would come in. Jetta could come in at Merrett's expense but not a required change. Browne could come in for Baguley but I doubt they will and its not needed (I just like Browne). If Crameri is injured then Gumbleton/Daniher are ready to go.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Cramdog out, I'd say.

 

[Gumbleton_OneDay]

I just don't see what Jetta brings to the table for us ? He should not be seen in the senior team unless Davey, Winderlich Merret or Kommer get injured.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

No change

 

[Shane Mead]

Crameri looked sore, and if that is the case later in the week he should be rested for precautionary reasons. Can bring Jetta in to add some leg speed and pace against Fremantle.

 

[grizzly_bear5]

I would have Kommer take Merrett's spot and NLM be the sub.

 

[morebeer]

If Crammers did not come up I would suggest that Gumby would be the best replacement, his game really suits the extra size of Subi. You could also give Joe a run but maybe an easier kill than Freo at Subi would be preferable and Gumby just has that edge in endurance and size.

 

[Rack Watts]

Hird said Crameri would be fine in the press conference.
Just said his knee was a bit sore, but came right very quickly.
They took him off simply because it wasn't worth the risk against Melbourne.

 

[eth-dog]

I have Hooker out for Hardingham as a pure horses for courses selection, as I think Fletch should play on Bradley because it's easier for him to run off Bradley rather than Mayne, and Hardi's a better match-up for Mayne in comparison to Hooker

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]

No changes, unless Winderlich is ready. In that case, someone must make way for him, maybe one of Kommer or Merret.

His speed and experience would be very handy at Subi.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Yeah no changes for me, unless Freo make some change to their height or structure that we'll need to counter.

 

[quotemokc]

Could bring Hardingham in for Baguley, I think he would be more effective against Freos forward line

 

[Rack Watts]

Kommer into the 21 from the Sub, Elliot Kavanagh into the Sub position and Merrett out.

 

[VelvetSledge]

No changes.

 

[Summer Nights]

I need Daniher to play so my prediction will come true.

 

[monty1104]

No changes, other than Kommer not being sub.

 

[cAsEy_18]

I'm pretty happy with the same side once again. Although I tend to agree that looking at their forward line, something like Hardingham for Hooker could be considered, just on match-ups.
