Robert Warnock Rivalry?
I'll never forget the image of Robbie sitting on the bench midgame in Brisbane one sunny afternoon , with his legs crossed and looking for all the world like his one wish was not to get back on the ground but to be brought a nice cup o tea.
No injury, just completely uninterested.
He was pretty “Ugly” as I recall.
This is who I immediately thought of but last time I saw him he was living on the Gold Coast.

Ironically I saw that life when I was at Optus to see us beat Freo..it’s not all bad
, probably an omen
I must have missed the article but could someone please enlighten me on why Cripps won’t playing?

Pretty big ask, even for the big man himself, to play footy on back-to-back nights.

None of our preseason games seem to appear on the afl website. Other games are shown but none of ours are.
Fyfe just wants to avoid Jack

I feel like Freo need Fyfe more than we need Cripps. If that's possible...

It will be that much sweeter when we bag a few flags!
Incorrect, one of the best playing surfaces in WA

Good point and that then raises the question; Who'll be asked to take on the gap left by Cripps.
I think it will be Setterfield and this alone will make this game worthy of watching.
Last weeks game (first couple of quarters) had Cripps, Setterfield, Murphy and Walsh mostly contesting in the centre square.
I'd like to see a Setterfield, Walsh and Cuningham/Dow combination mostly involved this week.
Perfect chance to audition the kids. Setters, Walsh, Stocker, Dow, Kennedy, Cuningham and of course Fisher, with a possible Philp cameo. Give Murph and Ed more peripheral duties for the day. No Fyfe and Walters, with Mundy still not back means a comparative line up for Freo. Blakely, Acres, Brayshaw, Cerra, Tucker and Serong the more obvious ones.
Not that I care about the scoreboard, but pretty sure we beat the Dockers without Cripps last year, plus a few others, while Fyfe was playing

Sure did and we lost Charlie in the first 5 minutes

When we played Freo without Cripps last year, we went with experience.
That was the match that Ed Curnow got a bazillion clearances and Murphy ran riot. IIRC.
If this was for premiership points, I'd expect to see those two in the centre again with Walsh and Setterfield. With cameos from others.
Given this is pre-season, you might get your wish of seeing 'the midfield of the future' get a run.

Yep. Reckon this is what we'll see.
Maybe one more game for Murphy and the other one for ECurnow. Can't see the point of having them both involved in both games.
Let's give Setterfield some confidence and a bit of a load to carry...let Walsh be Walsh...and if we are to give Cuningham and Dow midfield minutes, let's do it across the next two practice matches. Maybe a bit of Fisher also.

Just up the road from my place.
What a treat.
Nothing wrong with the surface at all.
