Prediction Changes: Round 5 Vs Gold Coast Suns + Pre-match discussion.

[apuchar]

Sounds like he might prefer Sturt to play on Optus

 

[Hamann188]

It's getting hard to do these and we are only up to round 5. Had to think about this one a bit. I wanted to get Wilo in there but then who do I drop? Maybe give Luke a rest, but J Lo reckoned he would be fine for the weekend.

I moved O'Meara up into CHF jut coz. Kinda keeps him outta the way of Brodie without losing face over the whole leadership group thing.

I didn't wanna play Noddy, he might be a bit underdone still, but it was either that or have Henry start on the wing and well..... I actually don't think Henry will be dropped, but this is my squad, not the selection commitee's.

It may be closer to swapping Wagner for Banfield, but you never know.

Hopefully it's not long before I can try and squeeze Erasmus and Treacy into the side.

Feel free to criticise, I got thick skin.

He seems to prefer Sturt to play on Rushton Park

joining the squad in Adelaide this week.

Luke Ryan (knee) will play and Michael Frederick (eye) should return.

Longmuir said what Fremantle is doing inside 50m, not ball movement, had hampered them.

"We are trying to take the game on - our connection inside 50 has been poor," he said.

 

[FreoRicci]

Teams announced today? Or tomorrow?

 

[Superkoops]

Sounds a lot like Sturt will be the sub from JL’s presser. Would think Freddy and Brodie are locks and Wagner a good chance too from his comments.

That is the vibe I get.
In: Wagner, Freddy, Brodie
Out: Tabs, NOD, Henry
Sub: Sturt

Alternatively Johnson in to play wing and Wagner an emergency.

 

[Wilksyy]

It's just baffling to me, that the past 4 weeks have been just a mindset thing. But JL knows far more about footy than me so we’ll see.

 

[freo_leo29]

Henry and noddy are 2 outs for sure, those 2 with taberner are the murmurings

Think one more needs to come out imo

 

[freo1997]

Johnson would be an in right? They better not drop him.

Johnson, Freddy, Brodie and Wagner in?

Sturt as the Sub

Tabs, Nod, Henry and one of Banners/Hughes out.

Hughes for NOD then maybe. Geez we really ARE 1 winger short aren't we.

Brodie in the middle and JOM to the wing.

In think tomorrow arvo

 

[Hamann188]

Brodie in the middle and JOM to the wing.

Who do I put in at CHF?

Jackson to CHF.

 

[Hamann188]

Jackson to CHF.

And then Banners on the bench?

Go for it!!! Do you need me to wipe your bum bum while I’m at it!

 

[Taylor]

Witts not playing apparently.
If Darcy doesn't get hold of the young fella who replaces him, he can get in the bin

It's massive for Sean Darcy. Witts is one of the handful of bull rucks who can match him for strength.

Means nothing. We have been winning hitouts and 1-3.

 

[freo1997]

They’ll just read Darcy’s taps.

Hasleby reports that Taberner has flown back and will miss this week with back injury

Hopefully it's Sturt that comes in, he deserves a chance to show what he's got

 

[Taylor]

They’ll just read Darcy’s taps.

That's exactly what will happen, but the opportunity is going to be there for Sean Darcy to rise above and dominate his position. Should he be able to do that we will win with one way traffic.

I am not holding my breath.

Darcy always dominates his position, it's not really his fault that our midfield can't at least break even when he's winning every hitout.

He doesn't always dominate, recently he has been prone to have his taps spoiled by the opposition going for his hand instead of the ball.

 

[Footskill]

Looks like Ryan okay to play...ugh

 

[Footskill]

You can just see it. Freddy for Taberner is it. Took the others over for a holiday. Need to play Sturt in front of his family and SA clubs that may want to recruit him. We have first round draft picks wasting away in the WAFL. I swear we would be playing Ginbey or Sheezel at Peel the way we select.

So now we making up that Sturt is South Australian just to get him a game... Ok..then
