Preview Rd 21 Changes v Melbourne

[Kickett Punches Read]

I actually think he's a remarkably straight shooter. Particularly compared to previous coaches.

I dont know... I remember when steven hills quad tightness turned into 4 weeks. Clance pearce's knock to the calf turned into 2 weeks... and we do tend to ring in more late changes than most sides

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

For inflicting Phil Gilbert onto us whilst taking Jeff Farmer away.

For poaching Jeff white with the promise of big dollars whilst cheating the salary cap.

For David Schwarz admitting on the footy show once "We dont rate freo" and continuing that on to SEN.

For the home game in the terential rain where melbourne beat us with brad green kicking 5.

For poaching our slimey CEO after he had just billed us for his harvard degree.

For allowing us to get 53 points up at half time only to come back and beat us with a no-name like austin woneamirri playing his only good game.

For sliding in the back door and convincing the "home-sick" key position player we so desperately crave with money that he should play at melbourne rather than freo

For obtaining a kings ransom in draft picks, for a dud in Tom Scully, and then said picks to assist in obtaining a freo supporting, star key forward in Jesse Hogan.

For being given so many draft picks, both standard, and priority, but being so poor at both identification and development, that they cant re-build properly with them... and then having the balls to request more to help get them out of the mire.

For being an overall blight on the game, for being so pathetic on and off the field that mere survival is reliant on the hands of the stronger clubs profits.

I truly hope we inflict so much punishment on them that their players (possibly jack watts aside) require the use of sleeping tablets to assist with the nightmares.

If we win by a thousand points that wont be enough. And for the rest of my life, if they were to win only two games a year, both against west coast, that would be fine by me.

I dont like the Melbourne Football Club

Even better for Freo e.g. Mayne loves hard edged footy. Melb whole team play bruise free football.

If Freo play the way they did last week without the second quarter slump I think you will find Melb will have more fun splashing each other in the puddles than chasing the purple.

 

[leungtl]

Good luck tagging Fyfe in the wet, McKenzie...

 

[Seppo]

Out: -
Into the Squad of 25: Hill, Crozier and Taberner

 

[yakka man]

Ibbotson still missing from the team.

Crosier, Hill and Taberner come into the squad.

 

[electricfeel]

Ibbo and Clancee still being managed for their injuries I'm guessing.

Who's going to come out? Sutty and Sheridan for Hill and Crozier?

 

[salim malik]

Ibbotson still missing from the team.

Crosier, Hill and Taberner come into the squad.

Ibbo was running through a series of rehab exercises with Luke this morning
Looked OK but just not ready for this week

 

[JMan5]

Another easy game and a vital percentage and confidence booster. Good luck guys.

 

[yakka man]

6PR have tweeted twice that Hill won't play. I don't know where they're getting their information.

You've been posting a lot on our boards. Please feel free to ditch the Lions and come join us if you like. Trust me, Mark Harvey will drive you nuts!

 

[DOCKERZ]

Forecasted to be pissing down with rain, must be bringing Taberner in as the late change..

 

[BananaOnTheRun]

I dont know... I remember when steven hills quad tightness turned into 4 weeks. Clance pearce's knock to the calf turned into 2 weeks... and we do tend to ring in more late changes than most sides

he sure doesn't like giving the opposition too much time to prepare.

 

[Boppo]

Who could Tab possibly replace?

 

[Paracleet]

Silvigini

 

[Mockcockpit]

So are we officially worried about Ibbo's achilles yet?

I was a bit worried from the start TBH - but then I'm a worrier . Achilies tweaks are notorious for picking how they'll go, and they tend to hang around. I think it was about this time last year that Pav started carrying his achilles problem and basically carried it right through the finals etc.

We'll see in the next couple of weeks I guess.

Haha. I really hope Harvey isn't our coach for 2014. And I hope you guys go well in the finals.

 

[Palmervich]

We have been giving injured players what appears extra time on the sidelines all year (I recon its our version of resting), so I don't think there is anything sis going on, just managing injuries and players!

 

[Ferntree Freo]

Can't wait for Sunday! Hope it's "raining" goals at the purple army end.I still have memories Of a melbourne game I went to some time ago and David Neitz's jumper got ripped in half, hell he was mad that day! We flogged them that day too I recall. I can feel another 100 point smashing coming on. Mr watts did not look very excited when the game was being talked about last night on the footy show......might be having a chat with the boys after the game asking what it's like in sunny Perth!

 

[SmokingGun]

We definitely owe them a bit of payback still for some of the humiliation we've received at their hands at the G in recent years, I want us to top our biggest winning margin for consecutive weeks.

That 50 point comeback was the worst experience I've had as a Freo fan.

Amen. I was consoling shattered Demon fans at half time while having a smoke. Worst footy day ever.
