[gaskin]

I think I recall a different game 1 than you. He was horrific in his first game for us but was terrific as the season went on.

He was horrific in the first half but after half time he was decent.

 

[King Huskii]

Always been a favourite of mine from game 1 for freo. He’s a modern style AFL player. Makes s**t happen

Wagner has had the most impact as sub aa anyone this season for Freo. He was terrific

Wagner has had the most impact as sub aa anyone this season for Freo. He was terrific

I'd bring him into the 22 next week even if had to play wing. We need more good kicks in the team desperately. Id drop Emmett and have O'Meara play more half forward even

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

I think he debuted against GC in Gather Round last year?! And I distinctly remember thinking "uh oh..", but he gradually improved as his confidence playing grew...

I think that's coz his first run in the team he was like borderline the deepest defender. That was borderline mismanagement, coz for all his strengths (and his strengths are good enough that I think you try to find some role for his attacking run in the team) he is an awful 1 on 1 defender and his high risk high reward style isn't suited to last line of defence.

I wouldn’t be against playing Wagner as a small forward at some point. I think he has a history as a failed small forward. He could do the Emmett role.

Fremantle High Performance Manager Phil Merriman says speedy forward Michael Frederick will be a test to take on Melbourne in Alice Springs on Sunday.

Frederick missed the Club’s round 11 draw with Collingwood after sustaining a concussion against St Kilda the week before, but Merriman is happy with the 24-year-old’s progress.

“(He’s) going well,” Merriman said.

“He produced a really solid run session on Saturday as Freddy always does.

“He will be a test to play this week.”

was withdrawn early from Peel’s top-of-the-table clash with South Fremantle on the weekend with concussion and is now on the sidelines.

“Unfortunately Tabs sustained a concussion during the Peel game so he will go into the concussion protocols,” Merriman said.

In positive news, young winger Ethan Stanley has returned to running after injuring his ankle late last month.

“(His progression has been) outstanding actually,” Merriman said.

“Ethan will be in line to play - not this week - but the following.

“Unfortunately, that is a bye so we will have to wait post-bye to see Ethan again.”

Meanwhile, Nathan O’Driscoll’s return to football is yet to be determined with the young winger set to begin running on field in the coming weeks.

“Not quite just yet (return date),” Merriman said.

“He’s going to be running on-field in the next two weeks.

“When we get him going on-field, we will have a firm understanding on how long 'Dris' will be (to make a return).”

Will be amazing to have Cox back a week or two after the bye.

 

[serial_thrilla]

No improvement for McDonald this week. He's not far off being written off for the season surely. Incredible to think that he was only a few weeks behind Cox originally.

 

[MadMundy]

Cox back in a few weeks is going to be the stuff of legends, Draper has been very good in his place but Cox is just another level above him.

 

[FreoGirl]

would have to be so frustrating for him

 

[FreoGirl]

Will be amazing to have Cox back a week or two after the bye.

he said he believes he will be back in time to play Gold Coast

 

[gaskin]

he said he believes he will be back in time to play Gold Coast

Makes sense. 2-3 weeks is the timeline and we play GC in a month.

 

[s_wd6]

I’d temper expectations of Cox with no pre season and a big injury

 

[yakamoto]

No Peel game next week? Byes seem to constitute a large part of the WaFL’s fixturing. Would be frustrating for players I imagine.

It is the same time as the AFL side have the bye so all players get the week off and players from other states get a few days to go home and visit family.

 

[yakamoto]

Fair enough Gaskin.

 

[rgauci]

What’s wrong with Clark at the end?

 

[DeanS]

What’s wrong with Clark at the end?

I think his ends ok, it's his ankle that caused him pain.

Nah he didn’t, came off limping / cramping

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

What’s wrong with Clark at the end?

Leather poisoning.

 

[Lach72]

Nah he didn’t, came off limping / cramping

Looked like an ankle to me

 

[FreoGirl]

Hope Clark just had cramps? Anybody heard any news?

So we have only 1 of our best 22 out injured and he's due back in 1-2 weeks. Brilliant.
