[malpaso]

So why didnt AP play WAFL when omitted?

REST REST REST. Please read before posting.

15 Ins in Bold from RD23 team for QF Final:

B: Spurr, McPharlin, Dawson

HB: C.Pearce, Johnson, Ibbotson

C: Hill, D.Pearce, Neale

HF: M.Deboer, Pavlich, Walters

F: Griffin , Mayne, Ballantyne

R: Sandilands , Fyfe, Mundy

I/C: Barlow, Suban, Mzungu,

SUB: Sutcliffe


Emerg: T.Sherridan, Z.Clarke, A.Pearce

The one's in Bold are a lock as they were rested/managed....Of the rest: Ibbotson, Barlow, Neale, Suban - played every game so they aren't about to lose their spot which leaves 3 spots up for grabs:

Games played is a good indicator I reckon:
DeBoer, C.Pearce, Sheridan - played 17 games
Duffield - 14 games
Z.Clarke, A.Pearce 13 games (Zac has lost his spot to Griff, Pearce will be handy backup but isn't going to dislodge the main talls in our backline)
Crozier played 10 games
Mzungu - played 9 games (2013 and 2014 played every game from memory, he was inj early and struggled to break into a winning team early) Think he might hold his spot over Duffield/Sheridan but is probably the most vulnerable...

 

[go_the_dockers]

K.Jack is out

Another big loss.

i think Ross mentioned theyd continue with Ibbotson forward
probably opens the door for mzungu? not sure who goes out though

When I heard him say that I thought he was fobbing off the question saying we will play anyone forward that we want but he won't flag that happening in the final, just that it's always a chance.

 

[SkankDanker]

Where? He got lots of it cause the ball was down there so much. Then proceeded to kick it straight back to them inside 50.

Duffield - 25 disposals at 92% disposal efficiency.

 

[Simmofreo]

Will this game be on Free to Air in perth? Or only foxtel

 

[Stuart88]

Assuming all are fit:

Spurr Macca Johnno
Ibbo A.Pearce Sherro
Danyle Fyfe Hill
Walters Tabs Mayne
Griffin Pav Ballas
Foll.: Sandi Mundy Neale
Int.: Barlow Suban Sutty DeBoer(sub)

 

[salim malik]

How come he hasnt been playing WAFL then?

Or train

 

[Banker]

So why didnt AP play WAFL when omitted?

Because they said may as well rest him. He wasn't that bad where he needs to prove himself again.

But it wouldn't surprise many if he doesn't play next week. Why do you think Ross tried him up forward? He doesn't prefer him down back over Dawson. Ross is all about team balance and he loves his trusted sons.

 

[db swannie]

What's up with Nick Smith? I didn't know he was out. This is a massive advantage if he doesn't play.

Smith will definitely play. He was rested this week.

 

[Purple Suit]

Out - Peel
In - Freo

 

[go_the_dockers]

Smith will definitely play. He was rested this week.

Didn't he injure his hamstring. Or was it just a strain?

 

[SPEEDWAGON]

my go


Spurr Dawson Ibbottson

Johnson McPharlin Sutcliffe

Hill Neale Sheridan

Walters Taberner DeBoer

Ballantyne Pavlich A Pearce

R: Sandilands Fyfe Mundy


Int
Barlow
D Pearce
Suban
Mzungu (sub)





Unlucky
Griffin (Unfit)
Duffield (I would like his kicking skills in the team)
C Pearce (good skills, can be a weapon but can see who he replaces)


Justifications

1x ruck, A Pearce to support / or Dawson (griffin injured, clarke a sissy and hannath needs improvement)

Dawson IN - anyone had a look at his record V Tippett, he owns tippett

DeBoer - playing good footy last few week

Taberner - we look better when he plays well and he should have got some confidence from a good performance on the weekend

Smith will definitely play. He was rested this week.

AFL injury list from this week says 1-2 weeks for Nick Smith with a hamstring injury. Doesn't sound like he is being rested.

Nope, pretty spot on I reckon

 

[Spirit Level]

All year I've been wondering what we're all about.

I'm just looking forward to actually ****ing knowing for once

 

[db swannie]

Didn't he injure his hamstring. Or was it just a strain?

It was a very minor strain apparently, he probably could've played this week was the rumour. He will be fine by all accounts.

And you trust those lists?

A couple of local reports this week had Horse talking the injury down. Happy for you to think he's not playing though.

McVeigh said he and Smith will be back for the game in Perth. So I think he'll make it.

Mate, I'm only going off the official injury list. Don't shoot the messenger.

Interesting point with the games played.
Of that team, Clancee Pearce isn't in the form that we know he's capable of. Played an average game yesterday, and a few turnovers that were explicitly garbage. It's between Duffield/Mzungu/C. Pearce/De Boer. We will need to carry one of them, and #9 is in the better form with his run and pressure which is what we normally favour in the finals.
