Opinion Round 9 Changes vs. Adelaide

[Taylor]

Jono Brown only took a week or two off from his face reconstruction, Bartel had his appendix out and missed a week- I couldn't sit up out of bed my myself for a week after mine.

It's all possible.

 

[beetz]

Sloanes game style doesn't allow it, too in and under. Would be gutsy but why risk it. I call mind games from Walsh.

Sloane doesn't run on his face, he needs to keep his fitness up.

Correct, it'd be an absolute shock for him to play.

What is this Jonathan Brown quote in response to?

Linking Sloane on the track to Sloane playing.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Do you reckon the talk about how Eddie Betts was signed will be playing on his mind? He's been good this year...

No, but that'll be the go to excuse if Spurr towels him up like he did Thomas.

 

[Redgum]

I reckon and it's just an inkling that Duffield will miss out and muzungu will play.

 

[FreoRicci]

No, but that'll be the go to excuse if Spurr towels him up like he did Thomas.

Small forwards generally is our weakness. We tend to look after the talls really well and forgetting the player hanging behind the packs. Betts is quality so just hope it's 3-4 goals. Mzungu generally goes that well, smokey perhaps?

 

[ydraw]

I think small forwards are every club's weakness. A big part of the defensive plan of modern football teams revolves around stopping marks inside the forward 50, especially in the corridor. Small forwards kicking goals on the run or from the boundary is something most defensive setups are not designed to counter, which is why guys like Eddie Betts and Michael Walters are so effective.

 

[Deveraux]

I seem to remember Spurr doing an outstanding job on Betts last season.

 

[DudleyDocker]

I seem to remember Spurr doing an outstanding job on Betts last season.

Wasn't too shabby against Lindsay Thomas last week either.

 

[Allikat]

So, looking at instagram, ballas, subes, clancee & walters are on the plane.

 

[Grape Bear]

No teams yet?

 

[Seppo]

No Change for Freo

 

[Allikat]

Freo unchanged lineup.

Edit: Dammit Seppo

 

[Seppo]

Adeliade have Henderson in for Kerridge

 

[Grape Bear]

Duff lives to fight another day.

Emergencies are the same? Who flew?

 

[Allikat]

Mzungu Griffin & Crozier flew as emergencies

 

[Seppo]

Zung, Croz and Griff the Emergencies. Not sure how many travelled.

 

[Grape Bear]

one for every line. Late change shennanigans seems less likely with that emergency list.

 

[Allikat]

Zung, Croz and Griff the Emergencies. Not sure how many travelled.

The freo app says they all travelled. I guess with the WAFL bye, there's no reason to leave them at home.

 

[Freo88]

Chance that Griff flew as an emergency for his old Adelaide connections?
