Preview 2024 AFLM Round One: Fremantle versus Brisbane (Sunday 17/3)

[s_wd6]

s**t, so coop Simpson might actually get a gig this weekend?

No. He’s just added as a gesture to say “we see you, you’re doing things right”

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

He was named on a wing and was going to play a mixture of wing, forward and some midfield minutes. That's exactly what Erasmus can do

We have no other forwards and Erasmus simply needs to play now

I agree. Plus we need another decent runner in the team. Id go wih him forward and onball with his onball role being as a tagger. For mine Braysahw needs to spend more time on the wing. We are simply too small at centre clearances when Serong and Brayshaw start in the centre square most times.

Johnson Switta Emmett Hughes.

Sub Banfield

Pfffft, no idea. Just throwing magnets at the board now.

at least you have Young playing this time. He does go alright

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

No. He’s just added as a gesture to say “we see you, you’re doing things right”

He could be the sub. If O'Meara had played I think Erasmus would have been sub. I'd sub Simpson on at half time for Hughes if we're struggling to break lines. But that's just me. We need to get more run and carry into the team.

God I'm gunna be hearing about that for a while aren't I?

 

[ubiquitous226]

God I'm gunna be hearing about that for a while aren't I?

I really think Young should be in the team.

 

[Hamann188]

I really think Young should be in the team.

 

[JammoMonty]

No. He’s just added as a gesture to say “we see you, you’re doing things right”

You’re probably right and tbh if he was named he would get the dreaded debut sub gig which imo is not on

 

[JammoMonty]

 

[David Bubb]

Don't think you can complain too much about the team. If Banfield is sub, as boring as it is, it's not a bad option. Would've loved to have seen Simpson but not going to go berserk about it. Cox up forward is fun.

Although, I feel like it'll be Erasmus as sub, and that will be annoying

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Bailey you rascal how did you get in there!

Really, don't mind it tbh. Would be nicer to see a fully fit Sturt, Chappy etc but ah well.

Actually like the backline mix. Hughes is good when he plays purely defensively. Pretty optimistic overall.

 

[David Bubb]

 

[mattis117]

Great that they didn't go with Reidy. Banfield is a pro sub, so not worried about that.
Pretty happy to be playing with almost a B22 squad. That's exciting.

 

[Mogumber]

Hughes has limitations, but definitely deserves his spot.
Our mids need to have the ascendancy to win this game.
Who goes to Rayner as their 3rd tall?

 

[freodog]

My concerns with the team:

• Lack of run out of the Backline,
• No 2nd Ruck to release Jackson to play forward,

- Karl Worner

 

[Taylor]

I'm assuming Josh Treacy is going to play 2nd ruck then, so Brennan Cox

to play forward with Cox in defense and he kicks 7. It would totally change the landscape of the AFL media regarding Fremantle for a few weeks, especially if Sharp gets 25 touches and a couple of goals himself.

Tt-t-t-theey got Sharp and Mc-McDonald is it for Frreeee Gerrraaard, for nuuuuthing and look what they did on Sunday night in Perth.

 

[mattis117]

Just quietly, how exciting is that starting midfield of Jackson, Fyfe, Serong, and Brayshaw. That's a hell of a midfield.

 

[Andy Brennan]

I'm really surprised cox named. Still think it's a fake out naming him on the bench. Omac to kick a bag

 

[freo1997]

Treacy is a good back up ruck no dramas there.

Worner though. This guy is lost at sea at AFL level.

 

[DragoDelph]

 

[Big Animal]

i imagine cox will get Lester? with amiss and Treacy/Jackson having Harris and Gardiner?

 

[mattis117]

I think Cox will try to play on Andrews.

 

[gungho]

They've got some pretty significant outs with Neale, Coleman and Payne.
What's the consensus for the best guy on Charlie? I reckon only Clark has the pace to go with him but we need him attacking. Would have loved Walker to be playing.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Hi folks, is Switkowski likely to spend much time in the midfield or he is playing as a forward these days?

 

[Sully90]

Forward first. Will probably only pinch hit in midfield at best
