Game Day Round 11 vs. Fremantle, OS, 8:10pm Friday 24/05

[Kes1984]

Surely this will easily be the lowest average games we’ve played with under fly, even with all the extra games on the veterans now.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I think so. It looks like Billy will play the same role as the GF

What leads you to that conclusion? Freo doesn’t have a Harris Andrews…

I'm am really confident about this game.

 

[Mauvais Cheval]

Brayshaw's a bit of a knob, isn't he?

That's a bit like saying "I dropped the atomic bomb and it went off"

factually correct, but really inadequate in communicating the epic dimensions of the truth behind that sentence

 

[manicpie]

What leads you to that conclusion?

Can't see us having three tall defenders, it would stifle our run out of defence. I don't think we are worried about opposition teams going tall against us. However, their tall defenders probably provide more run than ours. We need to stop their run out of defence. They don't like frontal pressure

 

[Exambolor]

Probably gives an explanation as why Wil Parker was brought in

 

[sr36]

So we’ll have Dean, Allan, Parker, Sullivan, Richards, Harrison and Macrae in the side at once? Feels like a bridge too far to me, but I hope I’m wrong.

Unless there's another injury, I assume one of Sullivan, Richards, Harrison or Macrae misses out. Who else would be the 5th out to bring in:

Dean, McCreery, Mihocek Allan and Parker.

Some peoples opinion of Frampton wont change no matter how many solid games in a row he plays, I said last week there was 0 reason to doubt him on Tex... Tex kicked 1 goal. The Adelaide board still constantly shat on him AFTER he kept Tex to one goal (not all his doing with way we defend but he didn't get exposed at any stage etc)

My point? i don't have one, I just think its funny

We’re going to want the three for Amiss/Treacy/L Jackson. I think Moore/Frampton/Dean all play in defence. Just my opinion and I’ve been wrong before.

The defence has Bruzzy though who can play tall. The forward line is one short without whe so can't cover with a medium who can play taller. Also missing Elliott who is so good in an aerial contest. And Freo intercept very well.

We might just do that. I am just a footy tragic. I'm only going by what we have done in the past. I think we'll see see their 3 tall forwards as an opportunity to start a lot of our run from defence. Playing 3 tall forwards comes with the risk of if they don't mark most of your forward entries, they will get killed on the rebound.

[CheckerTrade666]

Looking forward to seeing Charlie Dean again. Really got thrown to the wolves in those opening two games, so hoping for an easier ride for him this week,

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

EMG
[15] Nathan Kreuger,[18] Finlay Macrae,[40] Ash Johnson Diabolical for these 3 guys they cant get a game in this side

 

[Scodog10]

Ooof the collective groans of the Macrae fanatics almost took my breath away!

I was there. Drank a can every time he kicked a goal.

 

[unplugged]

No real surprise that Macrae was omitted

Have we ever had so many changes under Fly? I doubt it.

Hope nothing wrong with Markov and the baby. When is it due?

Macrae omission probably to make way for Dean to add an additional tall defender.

I expect Wil Parker will be sub.

I was there. Surprisingly, the toilet blocked and every time you went in people joked about getting monky to fix it ..

Would have been sloshed by quarter time!!

I was 14 years old so can’t say I did the same lol

R10 sub: Harvey Harrison

Why would Harrison be sub given the 2 first gamers coming in to the side? And if I was Macrae, I'd be packing the items from my locker into a bag and be onto my manager to try and find me a new club. To be omitted with so many outs and ins is not a great look.
