Toast Congratulations Sam Collins on your debut in round 10

[Freo]

And surround them with some skilled rebounding half back flankers and our back six will be pretty good.

Tucker & Croz BAM!

Tucker & Croz BAM!

+ Hughes

 

[masai]

Our key defensive stocks are looking pretty healthy, if not actually physically all able to play right now.

Please keep quiet !!!!!.

Bigfooty and the media must know that Freo are not developing KP backs.

What KPP? We don't have KPP

Maybe my expectations were too low but he looked a lot more comfortable than I thought he would. Stays in.

His agility was my knock on him but he is physically already there. He'll play next week and will hopefully grow in confidence as the season continues

Collins is good recruitment.

 

[freo84]

Collins is good recruitment.

I thought it was a pretty good debut. He did some nice things and didn't look out of place at all. Looking forward to seeing him play again to see what else he can bring.

Blakely was just awesome. Weller did some nice stuff as well.

But the man I've been defending for ages has finally arrived. The Tabernator! Loved his game bar that horrid miss. He was aggressive and took contested marks and kicked goals. All the things I was told he couldn't do. Really pleasing. I hope he keeps it up and continues to grow.

I just think Tab is serviceable, will had those stupid decision moment that make you mad just my 2 cent of thought. I call it the d.pearce and Clarke moment.

Shssss. A tall taking a while to get it all together.

Did anyone mention Ubers 3 bounce - full length of the wing run off half back yesterday? Who needs a rebounding back when a 200cm unit can do that!

Disclaimer - he then hanballed it straight into an East Freo defender (but got it back and kicked inside 50)

We got another one hiding with peel.

Crozier looked pretty good in that role, didn't he? He might have finally found his position.

I was going to be facetious last night when we got ahead in the third quarter and post on the main board:
Saints rebuild: Into it's fifth year
Freo rebuild: 10 games.

Glad I didn't, but if we get McCarthy and another ruck option next year, we might be able to turn things around in a short time.

Question for the Ueber watchers.

Do you think we could go a three KPD backline like the old days Dawson, Collins, Ueber or is Ueber going to have to wait until one of Dawson/Collins gets dropped/rested.

Spurr - Dawson - Collins
Crozier - Ueber - Tucker

Will be disappointed if Ueber doesn't get at least 5 games this year.

Didn't look physically ready in the preseason but wouldn't mind him gettin a taste.

hopefully crozier is left to play across the half back line,definitely the easiest position to play on the ground IMO.

Our half back line next year could look like this: crozier APearce Mundy

2 months ago you said he should be playing Peel reserves.

Croz has hopefully found his spot and will make me eat my words that he can't get enough of the pill. Here's hoping.

It is sometimes great when someone makes you eat your words. We all want him to succeed because his skills are the type we are desperately lacking, we just got so frustrated with his lack of involvement. He is nearly the best story of our horror season possibly only behind Blakley, Weller and A Pearce. But he still has to find consistency to have truly arrived, I kinda hope that the mark at the end of the game may be an indicator of his growing confidence.

 

[Bomberblitzer]

Will he stay in the side? Or get pushed out by returning players/other young types?

 

[freo_leo29]

we don't have anyone to return and now we have lost Ibbo so yeah he should stay in

 

[theGav56]

If the returning players/other young types are McCarthy and Hogan I will happily let him play every game this season.

 

[Eski3]

Looks like a bit of a steal from the spot he was taken in the draft

 

[Eski3]

The only person he might lose his spot to is Silvagni, who is out for the next 3-5 weeks anyway. So he should stay in for the next few weeks at least based on his efforts on the weekend

I don't see Silvagni ever playing for Fremantle again. Delist material.

Yeah I'd say Collins is our de facto second tall KPD for the rest of the year unless he has an absolute howler
