[Makeshift Park]

How can Freo omit one player, and have no one coming in to replace ? are they planning on starting one short

Banfield is in

Their sub from last week came in

 

[Passmore]

I reckon the most fascinating part of team selection is getting more of an idea of the team Clarko wants.

 

[Reginald0]

Disagree
Bonar was good, played a role
Not too many blues
He has to get better offensively and would be eyeing off JZ spot if he is up to it

How is that Backline !

Don't be so small and petty

Tiny things amuse tiny minds

Clarko mentioned after the game that we lacked polish coming out of defence. That wasn’t going to be helped by bringing Corr in and keeping Bonar.

Going to be interesting to see what we do when McKay comes back.

Glad Bonnar was dropped. I felt he was poor on the weekend and clearly not doing enough to impact the contest when it comes in high and deep. Far too many times it's over the back of him and Corr plays that role far better and no one else down back played worse to drop otherwise. Reckon Phillips was a bit stiff to not get in.

I love this comment because in a pack of 7 or 8 we blame 1 guy rather than the unit which was the problem.

 

[Poopybum22]

Only concern is the match ups of Tab, Darcy/Jackson and Fyfe. Surely Ziebs isn’t on Fyfe.

Otherwise very happy with the 22

Would have rather bonar on fyfe

 

[JGreezy]

I think that Corr was always ahead of Bonar when fit. So not a punishment for poor play.

Ziebs is a pretty good matchup for Fyfe tbh, he's not what he used to be. Also JZ was really solid last week.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Good changes.

Taylor should consider himself in the ‘has photos’ category…..

 

[zoomba23]

I'd speculate that Logue goes to Taberner, Corr to the resting ruckman, and LMac, Berg and Goater raffle Schultz, Frederick, Switkowski between them. Which means Fyfe has a field day. The media are about to do a complete 180 after writing off the Fyfe forward experiment

 

[Caracas]

Before the season started, 95% of us expected McKay, Corr and Logue to start all games - if available. It’s hardly surprising for Corr to come in, especially in the absence of McKay. It certainly adds more “spine”. Bonar will be back again. There’s good competition for places - at last.

I'm not blaming one guy, team defense is the way things are done these days, but for someone with his speed and athleticism he doesn't do enough in these situations. Logue was excellent at reading the footy and being involved in the contest where from my observations both at the game and watching it back he just looked like the weak link down there. I made some comments that he looks very iffy with ball in hand and reminded me of McKay when he was first getting games years ago and just wanted to rid the ball to the nearest person the second he got it in his hands and I feel nervous when it's in his vicinity. just my opinion however and not needing approval for it. Happy to be proved wrong or engage in conversation as to why you'd disagree.

How did St Kilda curtail Fyfe?

Agreed - JZ is a surprisingly good field kick when he has time and space to use it.

They didn't have to. He was genuinely awful.

And the clear-headedness.

 

[Firebat]

Surprising changes…..

Freo would be pleased, Bonar would’ve been a handful in WA

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Freo going with the patented Brad Scott ‘back them in’ guide to selection.

Nothing surprising about corr in moreso that it should be for a small

As you mentioned most expect 3 kpd
With McKay out you would expect the next tallest type defender to be there like bonar with corr and logue

 

[Mav]

I’ll never not laugh at this. God I’m immature

Great comedy never ages, ala Monty Python. Comedy is an art, and one that appreciates great comedy is an art connoisseur. You, Disco Dew, are an extremely cultured what ever you identify as.

I think it would depend on match ups with our opponent. Seems like the selection committee are backing one the medium size defenders in to play on Freos third best forward

 

[shinboner magic]

Thought bonar wasn’t getting dropped lol
Corr is 100X better decision maker with ball in hand and positional as well, athletically he suffers a bit but bonar doesn’t know how to use his body properly.

Think Taylor / sleevo need to perform better or they’ll be in the gun next week.
Phillips , Howe and tucker breathing down their neck
