Pearce an obvious in, probably the only change. Watson the out.

Fairly sure Banners isn't playing either.

Agree on your change though.

 

[Superkoops]

Banfield is an enforced out. Blakely did quite well aside from the HTB free kick.

I like Walker but wasn’t his best game.

Walker or Blakely to sub. Pearce for Banfield.

Yeah for sure. Cupboard is pretty bare, maybe Acres?

 

[ozzie69]

Acres to sub

 

[Joao]

Probably. The only fit players remaining are Giro, Acres, NOD and Duman I think.

I'd play NOD but I doubt JL will see it like that.

style?

And we tell him to GTFO

 

[Joao]

So if we beat Brisbane Lachie Neale requests a trade back Chris Tarrant style?

And we tell him to GTFO

Yep, he's too old now.

 

[Scham]

Pearce in for Banfield.

 

[Boppo]

Western is not even close yet unfortunately, he’s a bit lost out there. But I guess he stays, we’ve no more forwards to bring in. Pearce for Banfield, release Tucker forward.

 

[Joao]

He's played 2 games. The vast majority of players look lost for the first 3-5 games (or more). Serong and Young didn't fly out the blocks last year either.

Not to mention, playing small forward for Freo would have to be close to hardest position to play in the league.

Acres for Banners as Acres has played forward before and we need a tallish half forward. Pearce for Western works if Tucker plays wing. I thought Tucker was up the ground today playing wing a bit more.

 

[Freoforever86]

Out - Watson Banfield
In - Pearce Blakely

thought Blakely more than held his own.
Couple nice kicks late. Deserves a few full games.

wouldn’t be against NoD or Hughes coming in for Western too.

 

[SHill Shall]

Pearce and Hughes for Watson and Banfield. Push Tucker upfield a bit.

 

[Docker82]

I think we should stop ****ing Blakely around and play him when he deserves it. Done alright this season for a guy that’s basically been our specialist medical-sub. He can come in for Banfield. We have no other forwards anyway

Pearce in for Watson. Watson had one piece of play which was amazing. Otherwise I thought he was pretty poor.

Walker is not getting enough at this stage. If that changes he’ll be an amazing player. Ultimately I think Hughes adds significantly more at this stage.

 

[Sweetback]

Pearce could be the difference in this game

 

[BStaff17]

Brisbane have lost their mojo since hipwood went out. Even there win against the suns they were down by like 4 goals at halftime. Before putting foot on the throat in 2nd half.

If st kilda, Richmond and hawthorn can beat there is no excuse especially at home.

How important could that decision be to swap home games be now

 

[beetz]

Treacy needs a spell. Not sure who comes in but he isn’t up to AFL level yet.

 

[Joose]

I agree, but the cupboard is bare.

 

[Outshined]

Pearce in for Watson with one of Blakely/Acres coming in for Banfield seems about all we can manage. Running on empty in terms of squad depth right now. Hope there's enough left in the tank of the fit 22 to be as competitive and hard at it as we were today.

 

[E Shed]

Treacy offers a lot more than stats. He brings the ball to ground & fights like a demon to keep it in the area. Good by hand around the clinches & makes good decisions. No way he goes out.
Western started to find the game. No worse than Henry in his first couple.

He had a week off last week despite being crook.

He still may not have been 100% today it can take a good week or two to get back to full fitness

there is no one. he must play

 

[DeanS]

Suggesting a player is dropped while confirming there is no one to replace him with is a truly pointless exercise.
