True but Suban has over 100 games of AFL where he has done nothing and still gets gifted games. Surely Balic would offer more then the 8 touches with 6 clangers and 4 holding the balls against that Suban brings

 

[Kenny_01]

I think we have picked a side to win and to physically challenge Geelong with pace and strength in the contest, especially forward of centre. As much as we would like a sexier team with someone like Crozier, Suban can do some of the grunt work and shepparding etc for Fyfe Mundy Neale etc.

It looks like we are reverting back to 2015 Freo with a bit more on the outside with B Hill/ Langdon/ Weller/ Tucker.

Sheridan played pretty well for Peel last week and Balic had 30 touches yet Suban gets the nod when he did practically nothing. In the half I watched I didn't see Suban touch the ball once

he knew he was saving up his headbutts for Geelong.

so im taking from this that we plan on playing Weller forward and Suban defencively. I would be excited to see Weller move forward as i think he is a natural goal kicker.

Grunt work isn't just grunting when you get caught holding the ball you know?

 

[Sweetback]

I think Subes is on a short leash. Ross wasn't afraid to drop him last year.

 

[FreoRicci]

Lol Suban. This never fails to surprise. Perhaps he ll play on Selwood you would think? Fyfe to Dangerfield

 

[Freomaniac]

Looking at our forward line being chosen, Can we score enough to win on Sunday?

Got this feeling 90 points might be enough to get over the line on Sunday

Exactly what I was thinking. Ross probably looking at pre 2016 tapes l see what worked really well. We tend to battle and grind with Geelong, especially 2012-2015. No reason why we can't do it again, especially with their lean midfield. Dominate the clearances goes a long way in helping to win this match

 

[Docker82]

All I can say really is I'm very disappointed. Has zero form, zero future (if we don't want to be s**t) and I'm not sure what he offers the team like at all.

Crozier and Sheridan are both more talented and if we get them right could make it. Might be a remote chance of being decent but it's a chance. Suban doesn't give us that chance.

i think i just vomited in my mouth suban as our 7th defender

 

[Carnthedockers]

If ross truly is the mole, he's not doing a good job of hiding it! Suban is dawson Mach 2.

[freo1997]

Our attack would've looked so much better with crozier running through there. Suban really??

 

[Righteo]

yeah nah.

Stunk it up in the JLT, stunk it up for Peel, automatically back in over better performing players. Because "grunt". Short leash my ******* left nut, the golden pass continues.

My reaction following the team updates on twitter.

 

[SHill Shall]

Lyon's starting to lose me with this myopic nonsense. If he keeps on doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results, he leaves us with only one conclusion to draw!

Imagine how good he could be if he augmented the core of what he does with a small amount of exciting, instinctive and free range young talent? Almost every master coach does this.

 

[beetz]

SUBAN ?!?!

 

[se17enteen]

Suban must have tapes of Russian hookers pissing on Ross Lyon.

This is a really good selection. Suban's versatility, raking left boot and ability to shrug tackles should pay off in spades on Sunday. I even half expect him to get sent to Dangerfield.

Good pick.

 

[meima]

Suban could be the game breaker.
Positive- play like bog vs west Perth in pre season
Negative - play invisible men vs east Perth .

Either way game breaker .

Will Crozier sherro and tabs play for peel?
