Unofficial Preview Early Thoughts: Round 21 vs Fremantle

[Kennedy Parker]

Ins and Outs

In: Kennedy
Out: Tippett or Towers likely

 

[Cadsky]

I'd have to go with one of the talls as the out for Kennedy. It's hard to split Tip and Sink but I think Tip has a higher ceiling and provides more forward and in the ruck so I'd go with Sink out and hope that Tip continues to improve each week from here.

 

[Tuco]

Fyfe back in form...

 

[Taylor]

Gold Coast flattering Freo..

 

[SilentHunter_]

I am pretty sure Kennedy will come in for Towers and not Tippett. Ideally I also want Aliir in for Tippett but I highly doubt that'll happen.

 

[scaryness]

In: Kennedy
Out: Towers I guess.

I would say Sinclair but fear the backlash

 

[Ticky009]

This tightrope is hell on my nerves.
In: Kennedy
Out: urgh..no idea. All about set ups.

If Kennedy still not quiet right give him another week, and go in with an unchanged team.

 

[Tuco]

I get a sense Sinclair has cemented his spot for now.

I think it's Tippo vs Naismith now. And tbh I'm ok with that as they are both glacial aroynd the ground. So having both in a side would have to be a poor result.

Towers could be the victim of our return to a two ruck setup.

I still like the idea we can drop a ruckman and throw him in to mix things up though.

Tippett can take a mark and kick goals which Naismith can't at all, however Naismith is likely the better ruckmen.

 

[Punts]

Tippett out

Jpk in

 

[Punts]

Don't need 4 tall forwards on the scg

Yep. Agree there. This is the consideration of one versus the other. I just can't see us matching the run of GWS, Richmond, Essendon or Port with both of them playing in the same side.

But I'm not overly worried. I just demand a contest from whomever we play. None of our ruckmen are dominant. We play a losing ruck no matter how we go.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

I'd suggest the team remains unchanged. Give Joey another week off, big game the following week!

 

[caesar88]

Freo are absolute horse shit and if we're serious about this year we win this convincingly.

 

[YorshireSwan]

Must take this game by the scruff of the neck, percentage is going to be vitally important in the wash up. If we kick straight and there is no complacency, then we should win convincingly well.

 

[PVF]

Please don't do a Sydney and make this a grind.

We should win easily.

 

[Punts]

They have a shit load of injuries

 

[SilentHunter_]

Think this'll have a similar outcome to the Saints game.

 

[Teddy chester]

Think this'll have a similar outcome to the Saints game.

So Sinclair will morph into a super hero again?

I said similar! So there's a bit of room for difference.

 

[The King!]

Id give jpk another week

Out franklin
In dawson

Agree 100%

Give Tippett another week hoping he becomes an afl footballer

Yep pretty much.

Buddy looks tired and i want him fresh for finals and the rest of his contract and Reid Rohan look dangerous.

Naismith i presume not fit, too tall anyway so by luck almost id give tippett another go, i suspect its a waste of time, but at least means he got 8 quarters to prove himself

 

[Teddy chester]

I must admit I am excited to see the exact same super Sinclair happen again. Not similar, exact. I will get my Sydney top with his number ironed on, back out of the trash can from after the hawks game
