[freo grover]

CARLTON v FREMANTLE
FREMANTLE
B: Antoni Grover, Luke McPharlin, Heath Black
HB: David Mundy, Steven Dodd, Scott Thornton
C: Shaun McManus, Rhys Palmer, Garrick Ibbotson
HF: Michael Johnson,Chris Tarrant, Dean Solomon
F: Jeff Farmer, Matthew Pavlich, Chris Mayne
Foll: Aaron Sandilands, Ryan Crowley, Peter Bell
I/C: Byron Schammer, Paul Duffield, Kepler Bradley, Brett Peake
EMG: Andrew Foster, Josh Head, Ryan Murphy
In: Grover, Mayne
Out: Roger Hayden (lung), Marcus Drum (hamstring)

Was hoping to see Schammer out.

 

[Jetau]

So these are the players that are currently injured:

Hasleby (knee - season)
Hayden (lung - 5 weeks)
Headland (what's wrong with him again?)
Webster (knee - back soon?)
J. Carr (?)
Drum

Who have I forgotten?

In an ideal world, I think Thornton, McManus, Schammer and maybe Peake wouldn't play, but we've got a fair few out at the mo'.

 

[anchor man]

Just to let you know that Head is the only one on the list who has not played so far this season.Also Warnock is injured at the moment,not sure if he will play for the Garlic Munchers this week.
Why would you hope Peake doesn't play this week!!He was among our best last week,why would you drop him.Everyone says pick on form yet when a player who people don't like plays well they still want him out of the side.WHY,WHY,WHY?Maybe the selection committee has a better idea of who is good for the side than we mere mortals.

 

[anti.]

get down to the TAB and put freo over 39.5. its a sure thing.

I'm not saying I think Peake should be dropped, just that if we had a full list to chose from, he wouldn't be playing IMO. Had his best game in a long time on the weekend.

What's up with Gilmore? Not even an emergency? I'm think we're all happy to see Mayne back though.

 

[kidstyler]

Mayne back in is great news!

 

[ImperialPurple]

For sure - go Chopper!!


I would have gone another few ins / outs:

Out: Macca, Thornton, Schammer
In: Gilmore, Head, Foster

Schammer to be told to find some form and confidence in the WAFL; Macca to be told that he's out till he gets his send-off game in the derby; Thornton to be told DCM.


Bring in Foster!!!!!!!!!!!


But hey, I'm not a selector...

 

[SupersonicDocker]

Apparently Murphy and Head travelled with the team...

Wouldn't suprise me if we see Murphy come in as Harvs tries to stretch their backline. Sucks Drum couldn't get up otherwise it would have freed up Mcpharlin to go up the ground...

 

[The Night Shift]

the return of the chopper...
sweet

Nice. Just great.

Bloody bollocky selfish two-faced chicken bastard pigdog man Mark Harvey!!!

Souths play Subi this week.

 

[estibador]

Souths play Subi this week.

Just part of the plan to lull them into a false sense of security before the grand final.

 

[Belnakor]

____ing MURPHY? MURPHY?

 

[cardiefriek]

there must be a purple circle at the club how the hell does macca schammer and thornton still get picked on the back of crap form wouldnt happen at any other club thornton isnt good enough to get a game for any other afl club. Someone doesnt like gilmore or head down at this club gilmore didnt do anything wrong imo to have been dropped.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Foster in? No way IP. The guy has taken a while to get match fitness, plays one game? then gets injured and misses a week... he hasnt been able to get consecutive games going that means and with his lack of preseason, his match fitness would not be high.

Wouldn't Grovers inclusion do that?

 

[Avid_Avenger]

Wouldn't Grovers inclusion do that?

Think they might try it but it depends how well Grover covers Fevola. He has done it well in the past and Fev often seems to spit the dummy when Grover takes him.

Our defence has been leaky as hell so I'm not sure removing our best backman is the answer - it can either come off or allow the opposition some momentum that takes a while to halt even when McPharlin heads back again.

 

[Milky]

Would be a great side is Mcmanus wasnt playing.

How come theres no J.Carr? if he was available drop Macca for him and it would be good.

I personaly dont like MJ on a half forward flank, he would be beter on a wing droping back to help out.

 

[Avid_Avenger]

You'd have to tip at least one of Head and Murphy to come into the side.

I don't know why Murphy is there (thought they would have realised how lazy he is by now) but hey I don't know why Macca, Schammer and Thornton are there either, and to a lesser extent, Peake.

But anyway...

It makes no sense to take Murphy with the team unless he's playing (he's not exactly scare tactic material ) so I'd say he's in but I'm not sure who he'd replace? Hopefully someone like Thornton even tho thats a defender for a forward, maybe release Duff to the back flank?

Plus I have a feeling Head might replace someone who's sore - I'm just hoping that player is one of the above mentioned. My moneys on Schammer. Black might even be a possibility to be sore after last game...


In the end, apart from the above players who have been the bane of our existence for the entire season, its not a bad side considering the players who are injured and suspended. Loving the return of Chopper!

Bring home the points boys!

The players don't often line up completely as named.

And Josh still has a week suspension to serve.

I can't explain Macca but Schammer and Thorton add pace to a team thats got none.

It's called the "Jimmy Walker Factor".

 

[MadMac]

Gutfeeling tells me that Head will play and Thornton goes out

 

[dockers_bengals]

My guess is Schammer as he was in doubt last week and only played 52mins.
Would of made that point before but then it would of been an excuse not a reason for his apparent poor form.

 

[malpaso]

Umm people Macca is in because our midfield is shit and injured or suspended. He'll run around with Scotland probably should make him feel a few possessions.

 

[malpaso]

God I hope so..

 

[Angus McFuttock]

Yeah, Scotland might get stress fractures in his foot if Macca tags him -going on his run with efforts on McLeod and Griffen. Seriously, why is Macca still getting a game???
