Opinion Round 2 Changes vs. Geelong

[Palmervich]

The Irony being a beer is off limits before a game in the country.. But they'll be more than happy to rack up a few lines for their players apparently.

Not in my experience, but it certainly wouldn't surprise.

RTB is tipping possibly making additional changes on the day:

“You just can’t pick the same 22 because you won the week before, although I tend to do that a bit,” he said.
“You’ve got to think of the opposition and how many talls and smalls and what types they’ve got.
“We maybe need some slight adjustments.”
​

Fist time I've ever heard Ross allude directly to his tendency to select the same players too often.

This is going to be an interesting season.

Gu was filthy for not being picked last week lads. Told match committee he was right to go but they disagreed. Expect him to make final cut this arvo.

Hopefully Mzungu comes out firing with a point to prove.

He also alludes to the inclusion of tabs. Yet in the training thread, someone reported tabs training with the peel team. Would this interview have been recorded before or after training?

I guess we'll know more when we hear who does and doesn't jump on the plane.

Bartel wont play, just mind games from the Cats. Their midfield is gonna look as pedestrian as ours.

Fair comment other than they were the only ones to get a decent Selwood

 

[Harry Reems]

Tom Sheridan has withdrawn from Fremantle squad of 25 for Sunday Rd2 match v Geelong & replaced by Max Duffy.Final 22 determined later today

 

[Randomizor]

Sheridan withdrew

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Sheridan withdrew

Now watch the rumours.

Has he been training this week ? No injury.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Oh well, sucks for him, he'll be back. Hopefully it's just a precaution.

I would like to see Tabs in as well but I think someone was saying that he looked pretty sore after his first game for Peel. So if not playing, I still think that the inclusion of Gu and Crozier will help our goal kicking.

 

[estibador]

He wasn't drinking with Hodgey's brother too was he?

nah, they won't buy their round.

 

[Righteo]

Disappointing, was backing Sherro in for another good game against Geelong's plodders. Hopefully Croz is a sure thing now, could also mean Mzungu comes in for Sherro with no other changes which I can see happening.

I saw John's post but I was referring to earlier training sessions where we may have seen him laboring.

If Taberner doesn't come up I can see Crozier coming into the forward line.
Gu a definite.

 

[Boppo]

Lonergan and Taylor their tall backmen. Could use Tabs to join Pav and Clarke to stretch them.

They can also use Blicavs down there

 

[malpaso]

He has nothing to prove. He just thought he was fit enough and the team needs him for the season not just Round 1.

 

[malpaso]

I'd be worrying about our defense. Clark and Hawkins are big boys and the Cats can throw Taylor down there as they have the talls to match up on our forward line without him.
I think Mayne is going to play back if Taberner comes in.

 

[Kenny_01]

Sucks for Sheridan. Just when he looked like he was gaining some consistency and on the verge of stamping himself as best 22.

 

[Kenny_01]

Also would be suprised if Crozier doesn't play. We only got back into the game last year due to the impact Crozier and Duffy had. I think Ross will remember this and play Crozier.

Changes:

OUT: Sheridan (inj), Suban
IN: Mzungu, Crozier

 

[Ragtooth]

I think geelong had trouble with the Hawks small forwards last week. Wouldn't be surprised if tabs misses out and croz in. At least Muz for sherian is a like for like as defensive player than can kick a goal or two.

 

[electricfeel]

Bummer. I really wanted to see Sheridan get some consistent game time. What a shame.

I can't see the ball going into their forward half enough for their two talls to be dangerous, which means they will be playing up the ground like they did agains the Hawks, which means they won't have anyone to kick it to and our pressure will cause turnovers.
