Training 2023 Preseason + training discussion

[mattis117]

Most of the media comments about freo seem to be a query on depth based on the players who left last year ?
I’m curious who would be in the top 23 at this stage out of that group ?

Logue, Tucker, and Meek would be playing WAFL, Acres would likely be starting wing, hell Lobb might have lost his spot to Jackson, so any talk that we're weaker because of who we traded away is seriously misguided, Freo will be much stronger with the additions of Omeara, Jackson, Fyfe, Tabs, plus the natural development of a young team.

I think you are right.

Lobb would be in as a pure forward I think, and Longmuir would need to be crafty with how we use Jackson.

We also definitely don't play Treacy if we have Taberner and Jackson and Lobb fit so we definitely lose both Treacy and Lobb end of this season.

 

[Quazar]

Thanks for the correction. Yes it was doubt so have done the required edit.

oh, I wasn't trying to correct you. It just read humorously to me and I assumed it was typos - but it was like some crazy word salad at first - tickled me.

I should probably get outside more

 

[Quazar]

Apologies if this has already been asked as I am too lazy to go back through and check, but will Friday's scratchie against the Crows be live-streamed?!?!

Yes. All the tabs are in the upcoming section on Kayo.

cheers, thanks

Leave him forward of course.

And if Fyfe is doing that I think bringing Sturt IN would likely be at the expense of a KPF.

If our forward line is functioning Sturt would bide his time or replace an underperformer. He hasn't developed the flexibility to justify inclusion otherwise.

In the same way Taberner stringing together some solid continuity through a whole season doing wonders for his game, there's value in giving players time to get accustomed to a position. If you're committed to it that is.

The positive signs from Fyfe-forward in this preseason suggest there's every reason to commit wholeheartedly to him being given substantial time to bed down his craft. Agree Sturt would likewise benefit from sticking with forward craft for now.

On the other hand, Taberner has only played more than 15 games three times across his 10 seasons. As much as we might value him (or not), it likely says his spot will be vacant for 7-8 games at least. There's some of the rookie time, along with whatever unavailability or form-wavering might also provide space elsewhere.

If Fox is filming it hopefully they stick a camera at the top of the sandbank so we don’t have to look at it when they’re kicking for goals at the western end.

I wonder why we’re the only game with 7 ‘quarters’?

Maybe both teams would like a reserves side and a league side to play separately

We might field some peel players and Adelaide their SANFL affiliate team.

Jackson is a better all round prosepct then Lobb.
OMeara is instantly 10x better then Tucker. Straight into the 22 and makes the team better. Huge positive net gain.
Treacy covers Logue and develops in that role. Hamling is sufficient depth down back.
Acres is the only one. Henry has a lot of expectation on him. Capable of being a star.

This pre season showed the club and team are pumped, not necessarily bothered by the three leaving. Young wanted to make a big scene that it was. Nope

Have it facing the best Fremantle grandstand. Cockburn should try and promote the ARC, so have the cameras ignore the hideous sandbanks and showcase the opposite side.

 

[Taylor]

The writing on the wall of Lobb was that he wasn't going to get a contract until the end of 2026 at the end of this year from Fremantle because he is thirty years old right now.

The Dogs have him contracted until the end of 2026... he can't turn that down

That’s a good point if they’re traveling over with close to full squad. Will be good to see both teams seconds have a run.

Fingers crossed that’s what happens. The facilities look great when you’re on the opposite bank facing it.

That's just me guessing but I did hear that the clubs were looking at 2nds scratchies so this sounds plausible

I think they are playing 6x25 min quarters-so I would think both teams would be using 30+ players

Plus a 7th quarter 20 mins

 

[greatgatsby]

All those folks who think Lobb and Acres (perhaps even Logue) are irreplaceable should rush off and take the $1.80 we're currently paying to miss the eight. The rest of us who think our list is much improved, including because it's now full of players who actually want to be at Freo, will be taking the money for jam that is the $5 we're paying for top four!

 

[Eski3]

If it's on Kayo I'm assuming that means the full match replay will be available for when people finish work?

Fantastic - the entire country is going to see our sand dunes on the southern wing unless some genius puts up a camera tower on that side to hide our shame.
