Winnable game. In fact our next four are (Dockers, Bulldogs, Eagles, Hawks). So we just need to tick them off as we go. Simple - win them all and we play finals. Starts on Saturday night, finally back in some decent form against a side we've beaten already this year.

 

[Murraj1966]

Dmac for Hunter
Joyce for Howard

Somehow get Highmore playing as well

 

[lethalsaints]

In Hannebery

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Enter the mighty Darragu

 

[Ducky Tie]

I'd leave Highmore in for Clark. He's easily at the standard and he can play tall or small. 12 touches in half a game. Isn't a cumbersome tall that wrecks the structure. Joyce for Howard. If McKenzie is back I'd probably have Wood go back out.

Yeah definitely Highmore for Clark for mine, unless Freo have multiple small threats up forward, in which case Paton a possibility instead. Would be super-keen to keep Tom in tho.

Joyce for Howard.

The Mac won’t have played for a month by next week tho, so he may have to come back via Sandy. 50-50 call that one. Wood seemed to play more forward last night than previously this year, so it may come down to roles.

That's pretty much the same as saying Gary Ablett should come back through the VFL

 

[stavro#4]

Gutted about Howard.

The next 2 weeks are almost must wins.

Land of the giants next week and then Naughton ffs.

Joyce gets his opportunity I guess.
Far from ideal though.

Those on here giving him plenty are going to find out just how much we need him.

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

No matter how annoying he is with his sh*tty brain fades every week, we are f*cked without Doogs. No other 200+cm backmen to stop the giant FWDs. Gonna be even tougher from here.

 

[aussierulesrules]

So we have an 8 day break and Freo just the 6.

Noice.

Do we know what the problem might is yet?

 

[George]

Hanners back for this one will really lift the quality of the midfield too, ripping stuff

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Do we know what the problem might is yet?

Sounds like meniscus tear. Hopefully 4-6 at worst?

 

[BrutThough]

Howard is a huge loss but we have already beaten Fremantle this year without him. We can do it again.

How long is Howard out for?

 

[BrutThough]

How long is Howard out for?

They haven't given out a time frame yet. Could be anywhere between 4-8 weeks based off other players return times.

 

[Mowman]

Do we know what the problem might is yet?

Meniscus tear
You would guess 4 to 6 at best

Nice work Sandra

We can indeed. They didn’t have 198cm Taberner last time though, so they’ll be more of a handful this time, if they have both him and Lobb up there.

Big chance for Darragh to show what he’s got.

 

[seasonedsainter]

Enter the Joyce.

And what a great opportunity for Highmore on the big stage.

Never like to see Saints injured. Especially gutted for Hunter tbh, what shocking luck.

 

[lewdogs]

Hopefully 4

 

[St Kilda Death]

Not ideal losing Doogie and Hunter who was coming into form, but hopefully Dmac can come in and Darragu-san can play a role.
Play with the same intensity as yesterday and Freo will have a hard time.

 

[plugger66]

Ok so Howard and Clark obviously out. Highmore and wood the only others who could be. Joyce in if freo have to many key talls otherwise no. No idea for Clark unless McKenzie or owens can get up. If they don’t I suppose it’s long which isn’t a great option. All of a sudden a lot of players missing. Tough game. Have them slight favourites but they obviously haven’t played yet. It’s all about paddy and Marshall versus darcy and lobb.
