Opinion Round 19 Changes vs. St Kilda

[serial_thrilla]

When do they fly out? Could do with some reports from the airport to see who's a chance of a game.

 

[Frank J Moose]

McPharlin to Riewoldt
Silvagni to Bruce
A Pearce forward
Possible double swings if needed with SNOS and Pearce?

Who plays on McCartin? Ibbo has to go to one of the three.

Ibbo on McCartin? May as well give paddy the red vest now

I want CROZIER OUT

waste of space

it is very very sad that this statement is currently true. Come on Croz - your time is now!!

It's no surprise that when given Ballantynes role he gets limited possessions and limited goals. I wonder if that role needs to be rejigged. Starvation corner was the nickname from Ross?

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Silvagni's problem as a forward is similar to Mayne's in that he's not really tall enough to draw a tall defender.

Draws a tall defender good enough but like Mayne, doesn't kick enough goals

Playing Ballas' role is freaking hard, for some reason. Like he took everything from Ballas' form and turned it into his. Every time Croizer comes in into the wing/forward role he is pretty handy, his left kick is such a confident one- back him from the left pocket anyday.

EDIT: rgauci beat me to it..

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Ibbo to run with Reiwoldt/Bruce when they move up the ground and switch with Mcpharlin when deep
SOS to stay back on Paddy

Freo are taking three ruckmen to Melbourne - Sandilands, Griffin and Clarke. Clancee Pearce also traveling

Here we are:

24 through the doors now for Dockers flight. Last week's team minus Dawson, plus Silvagni, Clarke and C Pearce

So possible OUT: Dawson, IN: Silvagni. EMR: Clarke, C. Pearce

Blakely unlucky

 

[leeloo]

May be some late change shenanigans going to happen.

 

[Eski3]

I don't think Clancee Pearce will play. I don't see how he can be dropped for "form", then suddenly turn his form around without playing in the WAFL.

With three ruckman it's almost odds on to be Sandi rested

 

[darkshines]

Watching their replay this morn against GC, gee they looked lethargic. Was kinda keen on em against the Hawks until I actually watched the GC game. As we've shown, hard to snap out of lethargy in an AFL week..

Hawks easy.

We typically bring a travelling ruck as an emergency but don't play them - we've done it most of the games this year. So history says the odds are we'll go in with the two named rucks as is.

Have we done this the whole year, can you remember? Seems like a waste.

[beetz]

Freo tend to always fly a ruck emergency over on the interstate trips.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Sweet Weller will probably be the sub again but that's fine. Sutty was a sub on and off for ages. Neale a few times too. At the end if the day if Wellers for is strong he will get a full game soon enough.

Blakely IMO has been as impressive but in and under mustn't be what Ross requires. Conner has seriously quick hands though.

Was thinking the same but why fly him over there and back. Squeezing into airline seat for 4 hours is hardly a rest for the big fella.

 

[Schauermann]

Well, think we just won't take any risk with Sandi.

PS But like that we are set to try Pearce forward another week.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Plugger35 i laughed out loud

I think that's why we take an extra. In case Sandi doesn't pull up well after the flight
