The constant leaks and reports of cliques within the playing group is eerily similar to his late playing days with us. Primus and Duncanson didn't do a lot right but it appears that they were on the right track when they moved cornes on.
Has jay been 100% ruled out yet? Checked the website and the only thing I could find was the round 2 injury update that said he was chance to play subject to fitness test
For all those calling for outside influences, you have to remember laidley is leaving and so is kingsley, with matty moving up to the top job that leaves either the ruck, midfield or both jobs up for grabs as well as the defense job.
That is a potential addition of 3 new people in the box plus...
Agree with Janus, Cripps has to go, the foward setup and foward selection is largely his brain child (if it isn't what are we paying him for). It was mentioned on 5AA tonight that Laidley and him were having a animated conversation at one of the breaks so maybe Dean has spotted that our foward...
Out: Tredders (ankle), Logan (he didn't do much today), Davenport (he is not a natural forward, doesn't know when to go for the mark or to stay down for the crumb)
In: Broady (should have played today), Salter/ Schulz (if salter is rubbed out), Alfred (natural crumbing forward)
I actually...
When I turned on the ABC after the port game, Salter was playing down back. That was in the forth quarter so I'm not sure how long he spent there but the fact that he only kicked one in a team that won by 10 goals suggests he may have spent a bit of time there.
Changes for the season:
Out:
2009 Game plan (which we seem to have reverted back to in the last two weeks).
Playing players out of position!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
Krak is not defender. He would be much better served playing like stephen hill does for freo, where he plays on the wing/half...
It's great to see Moore named in the 18. In my opinion one thing that came out of the Collingwood game with surj out there was the lack of a lockdown small defender so getting games into Moore and developing him quick will be helpful should surj go down.
Surprised that Daniel Stewart is not at...
Warrior I notice that you have krak and rodan in the backline...... Playing two players in defense who aren't natural defenders this year has been one of the reasons we had the season we had. Why not play natural half back flankers back there, we have some good ones on the list in Farmer and...
That depends on who is the coach at the draft. If its chocco I'm sure we can find some more flashy outside half backs and wings because we can always use more of them!!! ;)
This may be a little off topic as it's not really about our selection policy, it's more an observation about our midfield.
This year especially it seems there is a lack team work, for example Pearce gets tagged on the weekend by a rookie in Pickan. So he is hardly a senior footy hardened body...
The thing that makes me want to call for Peter's head is his complete and utter lack of team play.
Perfect example from saturday night, in the 1st quarter (I think) Sal had the ball in the back pocket with a freo player hot on his heels instead of shepherding for Sal and allowing us to clear...
Yeah I agree that Lower was stiff, perhaps we should have left him in the team, dropped Peter and used Danny in Sal's role freeing him up to go into the midfield, but that would require the gold pass to be thrown out and we know that isn't going to happen.
No complaints with that team, we needed some extra pace and run against the bulldogs. Good luck to Danny hope he brings his SANFL and state team form on Saturday night.
It says Lower is the traveling emergency but I wouldn't be surprised to see Broady go up in case Robbie doesn't come up.
Big...
Considering Krak didn't really train yesterday I would suggest that he is carrying something. That would be a joke if he was dropped due to poor form considering some of the other players not in the sights that should be.
Can't say I'm surprised by that team....... Seems pretty like for like, although I'm not suggesting Toby is by any means on the same level as a half fit chad.
That being said we have the opportunity against a half a freo team to play some younger and untried blokes and see what they can do but...
Once again with have a chance to go a game clear in third spot, with the bulldogs losing on friday night and brisbane playing St.Kilda and the players serve up this rubbish........
Enough is enough time for some new players and a good old fashioned clean out. No more up one week down the...
I agree with the whole of malph's post but this part stood out for me. It was even mentioned on the telecast that he got a baking and then told to sit on the pine for a majority of the second quarter only to come out in the third and do more of the same. Clearly the message sunk in well and...
It seems to me that everyone is quick to jump on chocco and call for his head but I think the assistants shouldn't be immune to some of the flak.
Since Matty Primus has taken over in the midfield it appears that when our ruckmen are winning the ball and giving our mids first use we can smash...
