Prediction Round 20: Changes Vs Richmond + pre-match discussion

[salim malik]

It's a very sad looking forward half.

 

[Scham]

I said at the start of the season that Acres will be one shirk away from being banished to the WAFL. He's been a repeat offender throughout his career - it may've just caught up with him?

Having said that, it may just be that he was s**t at WAFL level last week but that hasn't held Hughes and Watson back from being named.

So Dumans had 35 touches while getting 7 kicked on him by the Falcons Full Fwd

That’s got to be in the running for the weirdest game stats ever

Yeah seems they shook hands and let each other be, can't do that as a defender

 

[StingBitten]

No he didn't.

Sorry. The stats tell me Acres dominated last week.

you’d probably assume Pearce coming out is the reason for Hughes and Watson named.

 

[Freoforever86]

Acres dominated at Peel last week. Bewley hasn't earned a selection.

Bizarre.

he got some stats, but he was really bad. Poor use & looked disinterested.

Not even close to accurate.

Absolutely bang on. Acres has not played many good games for Freo. You’d hope our youth pushes him out within a season or 2

 

[mightymouse75]

What has Duman done so wrong? He’s no world beater but I thought he was pretty effective player and had some good games.

Duman is the type of player we are drowning in. Poor skills, horrible under pressure, can't tackle.
Stamp him & go to the draft.

 

[freo_leo29]

Western, Watson and Treacy for Fyfe, Pearce and Walters

Looks like Henry is playing wing and Western playing forward?


Hopefully Western doesn't look as out of depth as the GC game

Wow we are massively undersized in defence and we don’t pick Hughes.

I think I give up trying to follow selection!!

no Hughes is very surprising This week

 

[Joao]

Western is in. Woot!

I too find it odd Hughes doesn't play.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Seems like JL has made it clear, if you cant attack as a defender, you're not getting in his team

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Interesting that Hughes seems to be out of favour. He only had one game back after injuring his shoulder- what gives? Tbh I would have preferred him in over Watson

 

[freo_leo29]

Technically Watson is taller than Hughes

Maybe feels Hughes hasn't found form yet after injury

 

[PH Docker]

Glad we left Meek in , we will stretch there defence like they will with ours!

 

[Big Animal]

Western is in. Woot!

Good to see us trying out the kids.

Yep, Young, Aish, Wilson, SkyWalker and Ryan and Logue can all set up a transition into attack very quickly and take on the defense. Agree this seems to be JLo's preference for the back 6.

Cant wait to see Ron Weasley in the back line again this week getting shrugged aside by Lynch, Reiwoldt and co.

Should have been trialed in the forward line but that would be silly wouldn't it

 

[Dockeroo]

Hughes can’t make the best 22 with about 12 players out injured.
He’s signed a 3 year deal though so all good.

 

[StingBitten]

Thangs gettin weird dis time of year.

You keep saying that. When has he ever shown any ability as a forward in his career from juniors to now? Yes he kicked a goal once, but other than that?

 

[Nodgey]

I’d be trying Hughes forward before Watson or Duman.

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

Where is it confirmed Hughes got 3 years? Apologies if I missed it.

 

[freo99]

I’d be trying Hughes forward before Watson or Duman.

Have you seen Watson forward

Actually named Colyer on the wing, this should be interesting...
