Opinion Qualifying Final Changes vs. Sydney

[Patty_Moz]

Why Crozier out? He gives our forward line even more depth with his mercurial talents, leg speed and goal kicking abilities.

I don't disagree Spoken4 but it's pretty simple really- I'd prefer Fyfe in the side.

The fact is that Crozier was number 22 this week, didn't get the chance to do a hell of a lot (like Duffy the other week) so unfortunately my guess is he and Suban get cut. Good position to be in, hard decision to make.

 

[VolgaBoatman]

Crozier and Suban out
Fyfe, Silvagni in

If Johnson doesn't get up given how much he was struggling against Westhoff, then Suban to stay in.
Unfortunately Crozier butchered his first 3 kicks after subbing in, missed the goal, kicked it out of bounds on the full, and then turned it over to Port.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Any chance on a Max Duffy recall ?

 

[The Speaker]

No Crozier leaves the forward line slightly lacking.

Ibbotson may find himself as an emergency again despite a good game.

Ibbo not a good emergency imo. He took some strong marks yesterday.

I was thinking the same thing. If Sutty gets suspended then he should come in.

Bloody hell a Fully fit Luke McPharlin would be handy right now.

Last time Freo faced the swans in a final, was one of the greatest days of my life. Yeah swans had a few players missing be we got into a grand final at their expense. I hope they apply the same pressure they did to the swans last year.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Hey guys, well done in making the top 4 and best wishes for the finals campaign.

 

[getgaff]

Sorry to intrude guys.

Just interested in your thoughts if the Dockers will play McPharlin against the Swans. Will be a tough call to make, don't play him and lose than play him in a home semi against North/ Essendon OR play him, for instance sake win but continue to have to monitor it and possibly play a home prelim without him?

Either way is a super important player who you'd want to have in any finals 22.

 

[pokerspiv]

McPharlin already ruled himself out.

Yeah this was my thinking. If Silvagni comes in then (assuming Fyfe for Suban) it's really between Ibbo and Crozier for who do you drop. Crozier is probably a better sub but Ibbo could be useful if they go in tall and it doesn't rain.

I think we should see how Sandi's knee pulls up and Johnno's back. I've a feeling something will surface.

IMO Ibbo is very important against Sydney as he is a good floater and takes a lot of intercept marks.

Got a feeling Goodes is a big weakness we can exploit in this game, he's past it.

 

[Puregold]

Spurr has looked a bit iffy second half of the season. I'd leave ibbo in and take spurr out.

Some other iffy players we could drop include: Fyfe, Barlow, Walters and Sandilands.

Fyfe was especially iffy yesterday. did stuff all if I recall.

Ibbo will be a very handy spare man that can come in and spoil the ball before franklin or Tippett can mark it.

Spurr is fantastic, he won't get dropped until he's injured

Yeah unfortunately an injury/suspension usually creates an opening but if for now if we said all good, everyone who played Saturday is available.

Play along one moment more and say Fyfe and Silvagni are the ins, I'd like to see both in and it seems a popular enough idea.

Suban wasn't horrible but is likely one out but that second spot? That's ****ing hard and there'd be some real disagreement about who it'd be. I still like the idea of Crozier running on late in the game ....

Anyway something will probably force a change and that'll be it but still that has to be a really positive sign for Freo atm.

 

[Quokka]

Also has anyone else noticed that Fyfe auto-corrects to dude, there's something in that I reckon

Politely disagree, think that's a tad harsh.

What an athlete, throw him at CHF

 

[Quokka]

Or CHB, handstands are for beginners, the Dude distracting someones shot on goal while on the mark...

 

[_007_]

A. Pearce a Smokey or what? If it weren't a final he'd have to be next cab off the rank down back you'd think.

 

[StingBitten]

With Fyfe straight in and potentially Silvagni it's hard to see any other surprise inclusions as there's just no room to cut anybody else (unless injured/suspension).

If Sutcliffe gets a week then for me it's:

In: Fyfe, Silvagni
Out: Suban, Sutcliffe

If they want to keep structure then maybe De Boer in for Sutcliffe (35 disposals for Peel and looked in solid form) - and Silvagni could come in for Johnson if too sore.

Great to see how much depth we have at the moment, I want Crozier to get a full game as he adds that X-factor along with Son-Son.

 

[clogged]

Out: Ibbotson, Suban
In: Silvagni, Fyfe
