Agree with a lot of that. I think we'll turn up and put up a much better showing this week, but Sydney will have the talent and system to overwhelm us in the end by a few goals.

Liking the optimism but can’t see this as anything but another shellacking unfortunately.
Sydney just torched GWS last week & have a well organized defense while we are likely to have a forward line led by an 18yo medium tall & a few battlers around him.
Buddy to kick 8 which will be more than us.
If Banfield plays I may spend the morning sticking pins in my eyes.
Sorry for the negativity but I seem to have defaulted to Freo supporter defense mechanism mode 1 after last week. Expect the worst & it won’t hurt so much.

From here, I'm looking at the 9 wins in a row for Fremantle to take the 2021 premiership. Best odds you can get.
My criticism on him is not his ball use (which I agree is good), it’s just that he doesn’t get enough of the ball and he tends to play as an outside mid which doesn’t suit him as he is not quick. He should be barging in like Blakely does and getting 30 every game not 15-20

Apparently Tabs was close to playing last week so will definitely play (unless he has a recurrence). I think;
IN: Young, Tabener,
Out: Lobb, ?

The bulldogs reserves would push a few AFL sides…

Naturally I'll be watching this game, but gee whiz did our performance last week really zap my enthusiasm for this team.
Hoping it's competitive but it doesn't really matter does it?

Genuine question, are we tanking?

If Taberner plays for Peel this week I will be genuinely confused...

it’s just posturing and not showing his hand
Tabs will play.
if he doesn’t, we deserve a belting.
Be a stupid decision. Many players, Tucker Hughes on the weekend comes straight in with a half or limited pre season and play 60-70% game time.Genuine question, are we tanking?

Just play Tabs.
He has played only a quarter of football in the last 2 months, and a few on here have noted that Tabs coming back from an injury struggles to get up to speed. On top of that Darcy has a question mark over his fitness so we might be forced to play Meek to share Darcy's minute and as injury cover. If Meek and Darcy play they might feel like we can't play an underdone Tabs as well.Genuine question, are we tanking?

Saying all that I expect Tabs to play league if he plays this week.
I'd consider playing an undersized "ruck" of say Acres or Banfield (whomever is keenest) as a chop-out for Darcy/Meek. It seems to work out ok for the player doing it in other teams who've employed a similar tactic and makes us less predictable, plus an option to bring in a quicker player to increase our overall speed. Sydney like to transition quick, which can short-circuit our structures.
He’ll only play at Peel if recommended managed mins. No good him playing AFL for 60mins. Not saying I agree with this but that is the way I read it.Genuine question, are we tanking?

The Eagles did it with their captain so not the end of the world.
The more i think about it the more this reeks of a smacking from Sydney, will mirror Pav's 350th imo
Sydney have made significant progression over the last 2 months compared to us

Be a bloodbath. Their ball movement is slick and fast. Pearce on Buddy helps. But gee forward line is bare. Worst time for both Lobb and Tabs to be underdone .
Kapow!!!

In seriousness does anyone remember Tab's ability to come back from injury? He's usually a liability in his first game back. He's one of those players who genuinely needs a run to, if nothing else, remind him how to play.
Having said that, even in his first game back spudness he does straighten us up a little. Can Darcy/Meek and Treacy hold the fort for a week? I doubt it, unless we plan on really running and pressing high with the smalls and playing a small, agile forward line instead of the traditional one

Tabs atleast takes a defender which is basically all Meek would have done anyway, may as well play Tabs
Sydeny got some lucky and umpire gifted goals towards the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd to erase a considerable lead. Hickey also had free run at the ruck for a while. I wouldn't be overselling the Swans performance on the weekend. Sure they had adversity, but the Giants had more.
Pearce must have been out last time we played Swans..I remeber Logue getting Franklin and actually doing a pretty good job considering the armchair ride the starry eyed umps were giving him.
Any idea whether the players last week had long stops in?
