Really not true when the team is going alright and getting the ball inside 50… they were the best pressure/defensive pair in the comp when we were up and about not long ago.

I had to google the meaning of that word.
I am a Chippie, chief, it's a noble profession.
Happy to go a carton...Jones out sucks, however Highmore in is good...being More High on Friday night would feel like we won exstatic even.

I think we will lose tomorrow night. I do not find enjoyment in that. I like winning. We clear?
Stoked Lonie is back in, the young bloke jumped up and high fived me on hearing the news.
I think the team is on a hiding to nothing but hope I’m proven wrong. Good luck to all the ins - the changes have been made, over to the players and coaches.
It’s a weird feeling going into the game with zero team expectations but a laundry list for individual players. Strangely looking forward to this even though I have been calling a cats win easily all week.
Good luck lads, make us proud regardless of the result.

I like it.
Frawley to Hawkins.
Howard to Cameron.
Wilkie to Rohan.
Highmore to intercept mark every second inside 50 by Geelong

Correct, Lonie is our best defensive small forward. We look so much better defensively with him in.
I reckon Higgins will run through the mids a bit.
Highmore a good choice, Joyce stiff but I am more confident he can make it in the seniors.
Frawley in is obviously for Hawkins. Hilarious someone believing he was in for Coffield
Feel we get beaten but Ratten has made sound selections to give us best chance.
Oh loving the melty Thursday night.

We’ve been one of the worst inside 50 tackling teams in the comp this year. What stats are you looking at or are you referring to stats from last year - not relevant.

Milestone game

Wilkie 50 games.
We go really well in milestone games.
Mark this up as a win for sure.

Exactly.
Also- this is our template to work off with gresh and jones out.
You don't need legspeed if you can stand up in tackles and pass the ball to teammates quickly and accurately.
No reason our remaining mids can't strive to achieve that this year.
It's a strategy that is every bit as good, if not better than breaking lines with legspeed.

Last milestone game we won by 69 points so the form is good.
Yes, heard it is us. We play him and Paddy and delist Marshall.

He could well be straight back in if the frawley experiment doesn't pay off immediately (either through injury or poor form)
I keep telling people the last time we won in Perth was Harveys 350th... now I’m not even sure his 350 was in a Perth. Or if we even won.
But through volume and persistence I’ve convinced hundreds

Well two changes will certainly help our backline jell….against three of the best forwards in the league
Jeez I hope Frawley makes it through the whole game. Not a fan of these changes at all, unless Coff was a forced out due to the knock.

Actually I’m really happy with the changes.
heres how I see it:
Chip in for Joyce is just replacing a solid depth player with experience to take on Hawkins. The right move and Frawley deserves to come straight in.
Highmore comes in for Coffield. He has had a pretty lean run old coffers and will go well with a spell in the twos whilst highmore has been excellent for Sandy and gets reward.
Lonie gives us more speed and while we haven’t been able to utilise our three smalls in the one game maybe this week we can exploit Geelong with it. Not the perfect like for like replacement for Jones but in terms of speed it is a good fit
Ross in for Wood is a no brainer.

Why does Frawley deserve to come straight in ?
For Highmore to come in it would be for Coffield or Wilkie, and Wilkie was outstanding last game.
I think that's pretty unfair on the face of it...of course we want some experience and upside potential in defence..if COFF hasn't been the 'HOFF', well every now and then a knight errant needs a kick up the proverbial...I love COFFIELD but if he's the right stuff it should have him frothing at the bit to redeem himself. Serve us well against the BULLDOGS. FRAWLEY has everything to prove now...this is his moment of truth..win loose or draw...he'll have to perform otherwise it's the slaughterhouse for Monsieur FRAWLEY. Or if you like the big fryer in the sky for the chip!
