[freo1997]

Giro, Jones debuts. Apeness, Duman, Sheridan, Kersten in

Sheridan emergency?

 

[Retzlaff]

Sheridan emergency?

No, all ins

 

[Lach72]

Giro, Jones debuts. Apeness, Duman, Sheridan, Kersten in

Hooli Dooli.

Lotta changes

 

[freo_leo29]

Ballas and Johnno out i'm guessing double down on youth

So out: Hill, Sandi, Johnno, Ballas, Pearce
IN: Giro, Jones, Apeness, Sheridan, Kersten

 

[Frank J Moose]

Except some were on contract

Really happy with these changes! Could be a lot of enthusiasm and energy needed for an upset win..

Is cox safe? Or is Matera the 6th our?

 

[mattis117]

Isn't that the same reasoning we use for keeping on the oldies in the senior team? I'd love us to recruit 3/4 of the best lower league players each year for Peel. At worst they create a great environment for our youngsters to grow, at best we've found some late gems for the senior team.

No it's not. Those 'oldies' have played games. I believe that he is suggesting we should keep Collins on the list to ONLY play WAFL. That is madness, why would you keep a bloke on your list who would be a designated Peel player? Plus we're talking about Collins here, who is not of AFL standard anyway!

 

[Lach72]

Matera's dropped too.

Wouldn't have gone that far personally

[Son of a Wizard]

Yeah. Rough on Matera but I like the attitude here. Let the kids have a go

Is that confirmed?

Confirmed that Jones, Giro, Kersten and Sherro are playing. They're all named on the bench in the extended squad with Ballas, Johnson, Matera and Crowden, so sure looks like it

 

[freo_leo29]

So confirmed? (not my earlier guess)
IN: Giro, Jones, Duman, Apeness, Sheridan, Kersten
OUT: Sandi, Hill, Pearce, Ballas, Johnno, Matera

 

[Kenny_01]

Is Cox + Apeness + Jones (with Cam) too tall and lumbering? Not a whole lot of athleticism there. Wonder if Ross explicitly said Matera was out or if someone from the starting 18 was cut instead?

 

[beetz]

I agree the above is a fair point, but I can see Cerra, Blakely Tabs (on long leads), Logue and Ryan (off half back) helping improve our transitional marking in the not too distant future.

Agree, whilst Fyfe is elite as a link up option across the midfield it does make our game plan very predictable which is kick up the line to Fyfe or Sandi. If we have several options it spreads the opposition and ultimately should open up better transition forward.

AFL site still says:
Interchange:

• Michael Johnson,
• Hayden Ballantyne,
• Brandon Matera,
• Scott Jones,
• Mitchell Crowden,
• Stefan Giro,
• Shane Kersten,
• Tommy Sheridan
• 3 to be omitted

????????????????????????????????

 

[yakamoto]

If everything goes our way we could be still in the game 5 min into the 1st quarter.

We are going to be VERY short of experience and run.
You'd think Blakely would have to go into the midfield with both Duman and Kersten coming in.

 

[Rion]

Well that’s certainly drastic. Love it though. It’s been pretty obvious the current mix hasn’t been going well, try something new.

Matera is maybe a step too far but he probably hasn’t been living up to his potential offensively or defensively.

 

[Lach72]

Actually don't mind Sheridan in with the other outs.
He can run, and with the two big guys in we're going to need it

Ironically with two rucks in he'd probably benefit from the set up.

 

[Freomania]

Why persist with Sheridan might as go the whole hog and play Crowden as well

We have been terrible in the forward line for tackling pressure and this week could be worse. At least Crowden can tackle
