So far this season the measure of the team playing against Fremantle has been where they have been turning the ball over, beside that one Ibbotson spoil at the end of the Sydney game they were giving it back on the full back and half back line. As long as Melbourne don't snap under forward pressure and turn the ball over across Fremantle's half forward line or across the centre then it can be a contest and an enjoyable match

Likewise, if Fremantle dont snap and are able to withstand Melbourne's pressure through the midfield it could well be a contest and enjoyable match, but i very much doubt it.

I'm still intrigued to see who replaces Kent.

Bail seemed like the most logical replacement, but he got concussed again (!) against Footscray. If you factor in his history with concussion, he might not be back for a while.

His career almost ended with a concussion so Id be surprised if he plays, My vote is still Aidan Riley... Tell him to push the boundaries of tackling as much as possible

What do you mean by that?

I don't rate Riley very highly. His kicking and general decision making were so poor last year. But a big bodied guy that tackles hard probably fits into a Paul Roos side better than someone like Toumpas.

The bloke tackles like a maniac, Id be telling him that his job is to scare the freo blokes into getting rid of the footy

Hes very limited, but he is an animal at the man and footy and can do the role Kent was doing without being dangerous around goal

Snap legs, break arms, use foreign objects, end careers etc etc...

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

What do you mean by that?

Permanent damage.

That's some bad footy karma saying things like that.

bad karma is how we roll at the Dees. You can't stay down the bottom of the ladder for so long without it.

Kent and Jetta are close to the two players we didn't want out of this side to face Freo. Kent for his pace and Jetta to play on one of Freo's many small forwards who will chop us up.

Going to be tough to get close to Freo this week. When was the last time we won two games in a row?? It has been awhile. I don't think we'll see it this weekend, but I want us to aim to kick over 80 points! A big ask against the best defending team in the comp, and considering our last 4 games against them we have been smashed and haven't managed to kick more than 40 points! But if we kick 80, we are a chance to be close.

OUT
Kent - inj
Jetta - inj

IN
Grimes - replacement for Jetta
Toumpas - can come in and be sub

I don't like the idea of bringing in a tall for a small. We got found out a couple of weeks ago when we did that and we lacked the run because of it. Sandilands will smash whoever we bring in anyway, so what is the point?

He's not coming in, just in the squad in case Jamar gets hit by a bus.

Would rather Riley in as a ruckman if that happened.

I'd rather a cardboard cut-out of Jamar than bringing in that goofy looking potato Spencer.

Check out Dusty flinching there. For a supposed "hard nut", he really is a limpcock.
