Opinion Round 20 changes vs. GWS

[purplefrog]

Michie deserves a run thats for sure, i don't see why you wouldn't res maybe mundy though and keep sutcliffe and sheridan in. No point in resting players though if they feel in perfect nick body wise.

Yes that is another good option. But whatever happens if ever Michie was to get a game or 2 it has to be this coming week and probably also against Melbourne.
If I was a West Coast list manager (thank god I'm not) I would be taking a good hard look at Michie being out of contract and if he crosses to the fluffy yellow side he could probably become one of their best Mids and how we would all hate that.

 

[willoblue]

surely Clanger will be dropped.
this was just like the western derby where his useless game was masked by being subbed out due to injury.
what will happen next?
he plays another full game next week & then the following week is injured enough 2 be subbed out?
& so continue his run?
???
or do we actually analyse his game without the romanticism of loving a guy who has beaten the odds to make it?
I supported S Dodd when he played for us, but I wanted him gone long b4 he was chopped.
I feel it is the same situation with Clanger.
BTW, how good is Mzungu's contested marking?

Wow thought Clancee played well under the circumstances he needed to cover for Ibbo under short notice.. Don't think Mzungu could do it ie play backline. Thought Besides the mark Mzungu was average.

Get a life and pick another target to have a go at.
A great victory with everyone contributing and you need to have a whinge.
I'm on a footy weekend in Melbourne away from the wife and still can't escape the whinging

not meaning to be rude, but were you at the game?
C Pearce did 2 or 3 good things, but was Doddlike (actually, Dodd did some OK things, so he just was Doddlike) all game.
very much a liability in the team

 

[Freo2012]

Ins:
Pav, michie

Out:
Whichever mid needs a rest ( Mundy, Fyfe, Barlow) , C.Pearce

Michie to start if it's an inside mid being rested

And if Crowley's paddle even gets mentioned by MRP I'll eat every hat in Australia

Better start lining those hats up - we're Freo and its Crowley - the MRP will definitely be handed footage of it in their 15min's of footage given by ? of the AFL - would love to know who the ? is - would very happily spend some $ for some "education" to ? about bias . If MRP say anything about it then it will be yet another MRP travesty, as if that doesn't happen

Was given a role and kept Gartlett, Yarran quiet. MJ didn't have the same role as usual yet they both did it with hardness and for the team. Personally didn't mind Clancee all game but I'm not the one that watches every little thing he does. Seriously, enjoy the win bank the 4 points and move on.

I was at the game and have been to every game at Subi this year plus the game in Melbourne against the Dogs early in the year.
I don't know what it is with some supporters they get a fixation about a player and no matter what happens stick the knives in every opportunity.
You seem to be Melbourne based how many of our games have you seen live this year?

ok,
looks like we have a dockerland mentality on Clanger.
I'd hate to have an "I told you so" situation, but I reckon lots wouldn't see it if it smacked them in the face.
I'm gonna call Clanger Doddy from now on.

I do watch every little thing each of our player does.
Clanger is not top 25!

Johnson was brilliant.
Clanger, was, well, Clanger. Dodd mark 2. I watch every thing each Freo player does on field. Don't you?
I had a great night & only the Clangerflogs are bringing me down. (as per usual)

 

[Seppo]

Ibbo might need 1 more weeks rest.
Clancee out to recover.
Sheridan to make way for the Captain.

Out: Sheridan, C.Pearce
In: Pav, Crichton

Sutcliffe for Croz/Michie a chance.

Wow that is Awesome. How do you do it?
I know you are David Copperfield under the disguise of "willoblue"

Just need to get KPR in here and we're good to go.

 

[Clems Knee]

Willoblue. Give it a rest. There is no rational reason for your hate of Clancee. There is no rational reason for Bradesmaens hate of Mzungu.
Do you get it? Your irrational hate makes you as bad as one of the biggest tossers on this site. Accept that this is your problem. You need to work through this.

 

[332docker]

Outs;
Mayne (rest), DeBoer (rest), Pearce D.(rest), Pearce C. (rest)

In:
Pav, Ibbo, Minche, Crozier

 

[Ripper]

Can't these "changes" threads wait until at least 24 hrs after the game?

 

[leeloo]

Just watched Ross' presser, and am convinced now that he will rest players. Probably Mundy by the sounds of it, kept saying that he was sore. C'mon down Viv!

 

[leeloo]

They are more entertaining after a loss!

I see a lot of boards do an autopsy thread, rather than a changes thread but they always discuss changes in the autopsy thread, don't think you can avoid this.

 

[freodog]

Clancee apparently had a bit of a calf injury so would say he will have a week off regardless

 

[Nothing]

I reckon willoblue is right, Clancee did nothing after he was subbed.

 

[purplefrog]

have a cry princess.
have a whinge yourself. are you a pom?
Clanger was useless.
if you can't see that, I suggest you start following Auskick

You are a sad case
And I use to like David Copperfield

You're entitled to your opinion on Clancee and all but man, can't you see no one takes you seriously when you bring him up? Just give it a rest.

Anyhow, hard to say who comes in at this stage with Ibbo's injury cloud not really known. Would say Viv will get a run this week, hopefully not as sub.

 

[johnnomac]

Open hand. Nothing to see here, boomer hit Crowls with an open hand to the throat and got nada...

Mummy Crowley pinched me 300 times during the game.

I understand your frustration. I never rated a guy called Grover but as he indisputably bled purple it was a difficult point to make. You've made your position clear, there really is no need to go on about it. For what it's worth I don't think Clanger is that great, but he is a solid build ie hard to move off the ball and can kick 60m off one step providing an alternative kick out option, these two weapons make him superior to Dodd. Finally, Ross knows the game better than you or I and he thinks Clanger is fine, therefore so do I and so should you.
