You make some great points.
Mundy while wasn’t quick before, he seem to lose a step. As a third tall forward seems like a better spot for him.
Walters to the forward line makes sense to me, if no small forward is up to it.

Again.... shows how much Aussie rules has changed in the last 30-40 or so years.
I love it how everyone is bagging out coyler.
Everyone bags out Ross Lyon not playing enough youth in our 2012-15 finals years. He cant get all the Blame. I hated the sub rule era under that 2012-15 period. Because you can sub someone out in the 3rd or 4th quarter then get an injury and be down to 2 fit players on the bench.
Hence now we dont have that anymore.
If this season was 20 games. I would of Rotated 1 sub spot for a rookie. Let 4 rookies play 5 games each or let 5 rookies play for 4 games each, give them a taste of senoir dockers footy while tryng to build up their fitness.
Saying that Happy young and Sam sturt got a debut game already.

Pardon the intrusion but I'm shocked you guys are all writing off Colyer. Must say apart from the big 2 he was the most dangerous player you had on the field. We had no answer for his pace and hustle everytime he appeared near the ball he found a way to split or win the contest. I didn't know much about him at all but thought he was one you'd persist with for sure. Sounds like it's a future plan thing though so fair enough.
Meanwhile given we're teaming up for a scratch match, how many players did you guys take to GC. We have got in reserve...
FF: Georgiadies, Williams
HF: Bergman,
C: Farrell, Mayes, Sutcliffe
HB: Watts,
FB: Lienert
R: Ladhams , Mead
One of those from Center-forward will replace Duursma. So we only have 9 players for a.scratch match. Will be fascinating to see how the player sharing works. Im presuming you guys only have similar numbers with Sturt probably out injured?

In and outs but with some Structural chances.
In: Blakely - goes to Rowell as a tagger
Out: Matera - Walters, Mundy and Fyfe to play more forward
Out: Schultz
In: Serong - to play high forward
Out: Bewley
In: Hill to play part midfield and back
In: Blakely - goes to Rowell as a tagger
Out: Matera - Walters, Mundy and Fyfe to play more forward
Out: Schultz
In: Serong - to play high forward
Out: Bewley

As long as you guys share that Sutcliffe bloke with us we ll be happy.
Reckon he’d go good in the purple
I don’t hate Colyer. I just don’t think his superior fitness justifies his getting a game. All his speed and running power aren’t helping the team if he is not really impacting the play. He is no orphan though: Matera, Schultz and Brayshaw have all had a pretty lacklustre start to the season.
Kids don’t deserve a game because they are young. Older players don’t deserve a game because they are fit.

Are we any closer to knowing if / when Dardy is available to play?

same. I think Freo have seen enough of blokes like Pearced, Langdon and Colyer streaming down a wing only to see the ball go anywhere but the outstretched arms or chest of a leading forward. We know what we are missing because we've seen what the Hill brothers can do. We will never use our tall forwards effectively while we continue forward with wingers who can't consistently hit a target while running at speed. Aish, Shill, Acres?, Wilson, Young, Monaro? or GTFO.

I like this bit. Got to shut down Rowell. And if not him, then perhaps Banfield or Brayshaw can tag him.

it looked like Brayshaw had the job on Boak early on the weekend, didn’t work out so well for us unfortunately.
Don't reckon Andy has the strength to tag yet. Tucker would make more sense, dude is ripped.
Why wouldn't we just use Banfield? He was rated very highly in the tagging role last year and is built like a brick outhouse.

A tagging job for Blakely might be good idea because he hasn't had any match simulation for a while. Sturt and Wilson that came in both seemed to have difficulties adjusting to the tempo after being out of match practice.
It is going to be difficult to make more than 2-3 changes given there was no game for the players who missed and no contact training this week.

I wouldn't bring Banfield in to tag but would advocate if he was playing.
Also, Ross was asked about Banfield's tagging at some point and it was pretty clear he didn't rate him as highly as most of us and the media did.

Most of us?
There's a noisy minority that rate Banfield
Most of us think he's meh or worse
He was well received when he was tagging in 2018 I think it was. Nobody seems to like him anymore.

Might be all the simple chest marks he drops and all the contests he pulls out of
I rated him as a tagger when that was his only role, but I think that's about where it begins and end for him. If we are going to "waste" a player tagging I'd rather a limited player like him than a Brayshaw / Tucker.

With just two on the bench, and only one umpire to abuse (and even that lone one would more often than not be more effective than the 4 numpties we have officiating the game each week now).
