Out and In for RD4 vs Saints

[malpaso]

Schammer will come in for Suban.

Tarrant for Dodd.

^THIS^

Tarrant (if healthy) for Dodd is a given.

Big-bodied Saints, Harvey will bring in Schammer to do some inside damage. We know he can do it and it's what we need in this match even more so than the Cats game.

The bald crying baitch was gifted 11 of those kicks by the umpies, and was not penalised for 4 throws (I think those 4 count as"handballs" in the stats you quote).

Truly a diving, crying sook, who will fit in great at Gold Coast.

And when the heat was on in the last he just disappeared.

Ablett - 2 premierships, 1 brownlow, Club B&F, 3 AFLPA MVP awards running, 3 Coaches MVP awards.

Freo - A win at home by 7 points in Round 3 with 5 of Geelong's starters out.

Good call.

Hinkley for Suban.
Tarrant for Dodd.

Palmer one more week - bring him back for the Tigers regardless.

Palmer, Ibbotson, Grover, Tarrant - not like we weren't missing a few either.

True... Geelong/Hawthorn starting slow in 2010, Reiwoldt going down for most of season or all?, a good chance for Freo to stamp themselves as a force. We'll see. I still see many holes in their team is all, especially in the midfield and lots of youth. We'll see how you guys go when the addrenaline seeps away.

There's usually 1 surprise riser every season in AFL, looks like Freo get the honours in 2010.

We're not a flag contender by any means in 2010 - not even a top 4 threat IMO but its still exciting to say the least.

 

[Chris25]

Not sure why this thread has reached 4 pages, because the changes really are obvious....

Hinkley for Suban.
Tarrant for Dodd.

I'm one of the few Dodd fans on BigFooty and personally I like the versatility he brings, but there isn't room for him with Tarrant returning from injury and the form of Broughton/Silvagni.

And we all know Hinkley is better than Suban anyway....

 

[Kram]

How can you suggest dumping Crowley, yes he was r*ped by Ablett for 3 quarters but the manner in which he fought back in the last was pivotal in our win.

Agree with that.

 

[dockers_bengals]

so who could have done abetter job !! the bloke is all class,I doubt anyone could have stopped him today,however when he did threaten to win the game in the last qtr, single handedly ..Crowly shut him down pretty well

they dont give out Brownlows for nothing
Crowly is a very important cog in the freo team,as is McPhee..they are the bigger bodies that are needed to make room and offer protection to the playmakers...if you cant see that..you know Jack shit about footy

Crowley all class and you say I don't know
Yep I've got it now,Crowley should not be dropped because so far this year he has stopped Ablett in one quarter and has a big body also we now except poor skills and decisions from senior players just so long as we win or its not Schammer,Dodd,Thorton and Bradley.

 

[Freezin]

can't believe folk here are thinking of Palmer this weekend.....he had a great game against Peel(who have shown this season not to be particularly strong) and an ok game against SD with 3 goals, but he was well held by an unknown SD youngster to 16 possessions. Palmer needs another games at least under his belt before entering the AFL fray.....also first up against St Kilda is a big ask, Freo need all 22 to be ready to play, not just for 1/2 game...it's not the WAFL here. Against Richmond the kid can be used for 1/2 game and still Freo should comfortably account for the Tigers at present..... definitely not St Kilda though.....all hands on deck for this one....especially with their running guys.

 

[dockers_bengals]

]lol Doddy has really copped it in this thread[/B]. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him stay in though and go to DalSanto.

I'm tipping they'll go with -
Out - Suban
In - Tarrant or Schammer.

I don't really care if he plays or not, but if Schammer can't get a game with Palmer, Ibbotson and Suban out injured it's hard to see him getting a game this year.

West Perth have the bye so Kepler will probably travel.

Yes he has but as a scapegoat it's expected.Cant remember when but the long handball over his head to Suban(I think) was great.
oops sorry,Dodd was very lucky that Suban was there when he handballed it over his head in a panic.
Dodd won't get in because he doesn't have a big body like Crowley

 

[Belnakor]

De Boer might get dropped, was barely sighted

 

[Lach72]

De Boer might get dropped, was barely sighted

If you watch the replay, he wasn't bad...playing a good defensive forwards role...missed the goal, but did some hard stuff

 

[Belnakor]

yeh he got dragged for missing that goal i think.

the bench at the end was Dessy, Hase and De Boer.. interesting.

 

[Clay Davis]

Two of those three are probably the slowest in the team, the other coming back from injury.

Getting that stretcher on the field probably helped win us the match.

 

[Weekend Hussler]

To those who think Palmer is a chance of playing this week, no.

To be considered for selection you must show form. 16 possessions in a WAFL game is not showing enough form to warrant selection, irrespective of how he is fitness wise.

Pearce should be given the opportunity this week to replace Suban, given he has great form in the WAFL. Picking Palmer in front of him would be a kick in the guts.

I think de Boer and Dodd should be ommitted. Both were terrible. If Tarrant is fit he will come in for Dodd and Fyfe has shown great form in the WAFL and should replace de Boer. Fyfe kicked 4 goals on the weekend.

Which two? DeBoer is bloody fast and I'm pretty sure dess has some good pace.

 

[footyfix]

I'm surprised ie took this long for someone to mention Pearce. He has been in great form and will be a perfect sub for Suban. Elevate him now I say.

 

[Clay Davis]

Which two? DeBoer is bloody fast and I'm pretty sure dess has some good pace.

Headland's not as fit as he used to be, good at bursting away and using his strength to break the lines, but not someone you'd want jogging out the last 2 minutes in a tight finish.

 

[Centurions]

Agree, he kept the ball in there and a lot of the work he did you didnt notice till you watched the replay though can't afford to miss another goal like he did on Sunday...

Watched Palmer's game on saturday and didnt play in teh middle for a lot of the game and needs a few more weeks for mine...Pearce would be a better replacement for Suban imo...

Ablett - 2 premierships, 1 brownlow, Club B&F, 3 AFLPA MVP awards running, 3 Coaches MVP awards.

Freo - A win at home by 7 points in Round 3 with 5 of Geelong's starters out.

Good call.

Agree about Ablett. I just can't see the criticism having any basis.

Geelong took a look at the future today, and saw that it will be back in the pack. Mooney, Scarlett (self-inflicted absences) and Ottens were missed. Stokes (self-inflicted absence), Varcoe and whoever else you are referring to are good players who have been adequately replaced by Duncan, Djekurra et al. And I think Pods covered for Mooney very well. Plus you didn't replace Scarlett with another tall (the correct decision) which to me indicates that star that he has been you probably missed him less than expected, especially given that he has been playing on the 3rd tall.

Ottens was easily your biggest out.

For us, as a side in re-build mode, missing Tarrant and Palmer is pretty critical, plus with the prospect of elevating our 5th Rookie for the year next week (all possibly getting a game along with a swag of other young and innexperienced players), you coming on here and having a cry about your outs is pretty rich.

Get a little perspective and enjoy the form of Duncan, the debut of your own giant, and the games of the players who came into the side.

 

[Lach72]

I thought Dawson Simpson was pretty good on debut...not so much at the ruck, but he made a good contest, ancd was reasonable around the ground

 

[Bombers36]

I dont think it matters to much who your INS & OUTS are. You guys seem to have a well balanaced side at the moment. I really hope you can knock of St Kilda this week & whilst it will be a tough ask Reiwoldt out will help.
Early days still but if you keep playing that attacking, running style of football you should play finals & it would be great to see - especially for Harvey who has been there through the tough times. Would be good to see you guys have some success. Good luck this week
