Prediction R6: CHANGES vs Eagles

[Joao]

Brad is still a chance. If he was ruled out he would not be listed as a test on the injury list.

I know they say that but I'll be surprised if he gets up. Ross' outlook was very negative on Billy last week.

Remember it was only supposed to be 1 week and it is now out to 2 and possibly spreading to 3. Bruising is unpredictable apparently.

Who should be your backup ruck with tabs going down?

Could be Apearce

What are the other options?

Micky Johnson if he’s named?
Cam McCarthy?

We have an international rookie called Brock McBiggun, 215cm and 128kg. 105cm vertical leap.

He look exactly like Michael Johnson

Cam McCarthy?

Can McCarthy in th ruck? Hahahahaha.

Me thinks someone needs to look at their fantasy teams.

McCarthy... LOL!

I was literally just trying to throw our suggestions....

Grigg acres harmes are all currently back up rucks for their teams just for your information so height means nothing.

Didn’t think it was a hard question...

Thats a good question. Maybe Apeness comes in again, direct replacement for Taberner.

Apologies.

McCarthy could have a go in the ruck. As could any one of Pearce, Johnson, Hamling, Banfield, Crowden, Ballas or Walters.

If you’re going to throw the name McCarthy out there may as well throw all Dockers players names out there.

They’re all as likely as McCarthy in that case.

I wish our club would just put worst-case if they aren't sure. They would have an idea of when they might be back, but continue to cautiously put TBA. I find it quite irritating. They should know that Dixon is say 6-12 weeks away, so why not put that? Even if it is a large range, I would prefer that over everyone being listed as TBA.

Leaving supporters in suspense regarding how long players will be out for is not cool Freo, NOT cool.

Though I agree, the club are damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they start putting huge ranges on estimated recovery times, it just irritates in another direction. Though I personally would prefer what you're saying, others would hate it.

Also, need to remember that some of those TBAs are genuine 'we have NFI' type statements.

problem with McCarthy now mate, is he's literally the only pure forward above 190cm we've got. Leave's us with nothing at all to kick to. Be better off with Fyfe/Mundy and jsut playing an extra mid.

You don't throw a rolls royce defender into the ruck!

I know, but we might have to. He's the second biggest bloke we've got.

Freo injury list looks different to the AFL one posted though. No Johnno on there for a start.

Michael Apeness Ankle Test
Harley Bennell Calf TBA
Sean Darcy Knee 5-6 weeks
Hugh Dixon Ankle 5-6 weeks
Stefan Giro Knee Test
Brady Grey Hamstring 1-2 weeks
Bradley Hill Knee TBA
Griffin Logue Foot 3-4 weeks
Lee Spurr Knee 3-4 weeks
Sam Switkowski Hamstring Test
Matt Taberner Foot TBA

Where are you looking? Johnson is not on either of them as I see it.
AFL list is below.

 

[toenail11]

Tabs has become (for me anyway) such an intriguing player to watch , sucks he’s going to be out for so long when he was breaking out

 

[Righteo]

What are the other options?

Micky Johnson if he’s named?
Cam McCarthy?

Please use this thread in the future. And Freo fans please direct obvious fantasy related questions here too. thanks.

 

[Getlegs]

Does anyone know how Tabs sustained the injury? Interestingly Sydney have blamed out stadium's surface for Franklin s injury.

 

[hoss]

Yeah, the initial link at post #191 had Johnson listed as being rested again. AFL have since updated it.

Apeness hasn't played at Peel for 2 weeks and prior to that my understanding is that his form wasn't that good.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Thinking what if Cox plays a defensive forward role on McGovern. We are not going to stop bombing it in and he will eat it all up. Have the crumbers ready. Matera finishes so well try and position him front and square trying to get it over the top with his left boot.


I hope the ape is ready

I didnt realise that I saw the word 'promising' a little bit. Cant catch a break

His first week out was where he trained that week but in the match reporting in the media it said he had a broken foot but I saw him do a fitness test late in the week and he went Ok but on match day at Peel where I attended he didn't play and then last week Peel had a bye.

See that's good Intel that's why I like bigfooty

Hey guys - don't be rude to Dewah07 - the questions were asked without any seeming malice and seemed genuine. Let's not descend into total bile throwing like other supporters.

I can concieve of why they might ask whether McCarthy might ruck - he is the same height as Johnson who possibly will do the back up rucking and we have thrown other forwards including Pav into the ruck before. The fact they have used Pearce before him suggests that they wouldn't (and that may not be info that Dewar07 has) but it is still a much more likely possibility than others in the team and most know that Pearce is going to be needed to hold Kennedy.
