Unofficial Preview Changes for next week vs @Freo

[Rod Stroker]

Isn't CCJ still injured?

Possibly

 

[choppy]

Would've preferred Freo to have won that. Now we're gonna be the targets of all their frustration. I'll be content if we keep it under 65 points

Chicken Little much

I agree. This has a "side suffers close loss rebounds with flogging" stink about it

I thought Scott was good yesterday

People who understand football agree.

I see it the other way. If the Saints were able to get them, we must also be some chance given we actually have some forwards who could trouble their defenders.
Plus their forward line is limp.

Schultz murders us every time and Switkowski is imo amongst the top ten most intelligent footballers in the competition. Frederick's too quick for any of our lads too. Their keys forwards are meh but I can see Fyfe outpointing anyone we put on him. Too mobile for the talls, too good above his head for a medium defender. Add to that their arsenal of attacking half-backs (our kryptonite), the fact that it's in Perth, and the likely rocket they'll cop from the coaches..... Nup. This is gonna be nasty

Come back to this post this time next week

 

[zoomba23]

As long as we score 85 or more that will be OK.

Agreed

Watch the replay closely again

First quarter for instance and not just ball in hand but Baileys poor positioning that has poor flow on effects for the team

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

Corr will come in for a small

Taberner - Corr
Treacy - Logue
Fyfe - Bonar
Jackson - ziebell

Surely Treacy won't play next week, totally spudded it up. Would expect Amiss to replace him next week.

You’re literally just saying shit without meaning now.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Wouldn’t surprise me if either Goater or Bergman miss out this week. Could see Clarko swinging in either Howe or Tucker due to their physicality and ability to play multiple roles.

Howe @193cm wouldn’t be a bad match up for Fyfe.

Go on then. Give us all some time stamps of Bailey’s “poor positioning” that led to “poor flow on effects for the team” in the first quarter.

Or at least provide something that isn’t “HuHhH dRoP sCoTt”.

You merely need to just look at the first 2 eagles goals

Wide on Jamaine jones and gave him goal side who then scores

Happens the second time also where jones beats him and a defender has to push up and cover for him instead of creating a 2 on 1 in defence

Let me know if you need me to teach you how to football

Goater is literally the perfect matchup for him.

It will be Bonar though I think, as Fyfe is playing really deep.

 

[ansonholt]

Alistair ain’t swinging 3-4 changes after a two-time spooner has a R1 win.
Goldy for X. Lots of love and homework on structure to slow the Freo boys.
Honourable loss would be great next week.

This.

Goldy for X is the only change, unless there is another injury we didn't hear about.

 

[DesertRoo]

I think he'll keep his spot for now, but won't get near a top 10 BF finish in 2023 . That is what's important.
At some point, the below will all be available

1. Goldy
2. Tucker
3. Corr
4. McKay
5. Archer
6. CCJ
7. Wardlaw

My mind boggles as to what our selected side will look like.


As for changes I have NFI but hope Tucker plays

Could add TT and A.Hall to that list.

I'm not sure about the last sentence, but I think you're on point for the rest. Clarkson has been universally lauded on here, and every sentence he utters about his approach contains the word "stability", and yet we're having the same old conversations about dropping Turner, Scott, Taylor, Bonar, <insert name of whipping boy>

 

[Merlin007]

Offers nothing offensively.

What Turner offers (until we have a better option) is a component piece in the modern way to play football, which is to prevent the opposition exiting their D50; or put another way, defence is the foundation of offence. On which basis, Turner will be playing next week

Agree. Goldy's inclusion is a necessity. I rate Corr as better than Bonar, so I expect him to be included as well. I have no idea who Corr would push out.

Yeah
i never watch Freo games but watched them today
they have a lot of big blokes, well all over but esp down back
they will have trouble with our style with all the quicks stuff by hand and foot

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

In: Goldy & Corr

Out: Xerri & Bergman

 

[Whereitallbegan]

Yes, I did. Scott wasn't terrible (really, no one was for us today) but we need to make a change to get Corr into the backline. Scott is the most expendable/replaceable IMO.

Bailey Scott was named and started off the HBF.
Take out Scott. Add in Corr. Move Ziebell from CHB to HBF.

Last time I looked, it’s a fast track over West, to drop 1 of possibly only 2 elite hard runners we have, would appear crazy. There’s absolutely no chance Scott doesn’t play.
