Preview 2024 Round 2 Freo v Roos

[gungho]

So looks like

OMac -> Draper
Worner -> Walker
Cox -> JOM or Voss

Which is weird because it changes the structure of the forward line and we now only have 2 talls.
The should have given Voss a shot IMO, he would have offered as much as Cox did last game.

interesting.

Erasmus or Johnson must be dropped.

interesting.

Erasmus or Johnson must be dropped.

Or as emergency or as mattis117 and said, Fyfe rested which would be ridiculous to me but as long as he gets through the whole season whatever

 

[The Feeder Club]

Draper to debut. Just on twitter or x. I am pleased.

Round 2 rising star nomination sewn up

 

[David Bubb]

Fyfe and JOM also on the plane according to Rhino

Thought Wagner was injured? Going over to see family?

He is 5 -7 weeks.

 

[GingerDocker]

This is not the week to go small in the forward line.

 

[DragoDelph]

RE: Wagner. Maybe coaching development? We've done it with Fyfe, Chappy and others before

[Joao]

Excited about Draper. He and Simpson were the best part of pre-season.

Also, let's go Grabener.

 

[freo1997]

Not Tabs..

draper looked smooth in the pre-season and his skills looked great. Great to see him do well!

If Tabs plays I hope he takes the tagging sacrificial role Cox played

I hope he goes full Bombers and kicks 7.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I wonder what Voss does wrong that puts off AFL coaching panels so much. Legitimately interested to know

 

[Taylor]

I hope he goes full Bombers and kicks 7.

I thought that too, but then it will make Jye and Josh's six goals each seem lesser

 

[GingerDocker]

This game for Tabs is really a last hurrah.

If he can't have an impact against an immature, under-sized NM defence, his time is just about up.

JL favours experience massively at the start of the season every year he has been coach.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Final guess would be Brodie is just the first emergency and will come in if Clark doesnt get up and they decide they have no choice but to put Young back (I would rather do just about anything but this including Banfield back and Simpson forward).

JOM to sub, Tabs, Draper, Walker in

 

[Docker82]

I hope he goes full Bombers and kicks 7.

Not sure we necessarily need that selection headache tbh.

Just need him to play the decoy role for 2-3 weeks capably enough that if we need him again we know we’ve got someone there that can play a bit.

Think he’s still enough of a threat that the opposition need to play a pretty decent defender on him and if they don’t he’s probably going to outmark his opponent in every 1vs1.

If Tab's is anywhere near 100%, North definitely don't have anyone to stop him given their KPD stocks. Unfortunately, he looked a long way off that in pre-season.

As long as he doesn't get in Amiss' way I am happy.
