Lachie Weller ?
He is not injured as far as I know.

Lachie Weller ?

Yeah, I too am surprised to see he wasn't named.

 

[Eski3]

I suspect for the next NAB challenge game, Blakely will come out and Weller will come in

4:10 is such a terrible time for the game to start. I literally can't go now because by the time I finish work and get to Freo it's going to be 3 quarter time...

B: Lee Spurr Luke Mcpharlin Cam Sutcliffe

[beetz]

Freo going in with a lot of bigs!

 

[Kenny_01]

We still have to cut 3 from that side. I'm guessing Duffy, Hannath and Smith?

Hopefully not Smith.

 

[Kenny_01]

Hopefully not Smith.

Yeah, I agree he has been good in the intra club games however I thought maybe they would give guys on the senior list a go first.

 

[Purpletown]

The Freo line up looks quite strong, an improvement on 2014 in my eyes. With 6 regular best 22 players from last season sitting it out and Sheridan, Blakely, Suban and Clancee showing quite a bit at training and intra club scratch matches there could be some real competition for spots in the best 22 for 2015 if they all hold their form and fitness.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

whats wrong with Ibbo?

 

[sij1981]

No they aren't. There is about 8 or so that aren't being televised including our game against Sydney.

STREamed live

 

[jedi mind tricks]

I hope Tanner gets a go. He may be rookie but he's shown heaps more this pre season and is starting to show some good form. I also hope Blakely plays he has really stood up at training.

I'm not fussed if Hannath is cut as he IMO is a number of players back in the ruck order and the squad already has a number of talls anyway. Duffy will need to show something. Will be a great experince for Brady Grey, I hope he makes the final squad.

 

[Righteo]

Hope to see Weller and Josh Deluca in the next round, all in all a pretty strong side. Would like to see Pav miss in order to see how Apeness and Taberner operate as a duo.

Huge anticipation surrounding Blakely, has had his tyres pumped up a lot this preseason.

I reckon better to see at least one of those boys out there with Pav.

 

[Righteo]

I reckon better to see at least one of those boys out there with Pav.

This will be Pav's last year so I want a taste of what they can do together and whether they'll compliment one another well or not. Pav can play in the scratchie against West Coast when we'll really be fine tuning for rnd 1. That's just my own selfish whim and I don't really expect it to happen.

 

[Docker82]

Smith will stay in the squad imo. McPharlin will play very limited minutes. Same goes with Pav.

I'd say that Hannath and Duffy would be outs though, probably along with Brady Grey. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Simmofreo]

I was excited to see Sandi in the goal square

 

[Allikat]

I'd love to see how Blakely goes against a "real" opposition. Even if it is Melbourne.
