It's an issue. This is why we go to the absolute extreme to get Dan out of this with as few weeks as possible.

It all depends on if the game matters.
Sweets shoulder? Could use a break if the game doesn't matter. Dante could come in we lose nothing.
Butters, I don't think he's in Brownlow contention his body could do with a extra week off.
The game may not matter for Freo either in which case it's going to be a pretty bruise free match anyway.
It will be very interesting to see how the coaching staff approaches this game.
They really should be looking to finals.
It would be good business to give a couple of guys with niggles the game off or at least play them half a game and get a couple of young guys in who may need to step up.
I think it would be great if they played a big tall to see what happens as well like Lord.
Hinkley prefers little to no changes so that is probably what will happen but it is not the best idea.

needs another good game to firm a AA spot.

I guess maybe we see the goals he kicks and the goals he sets up for others. But of course that overlooks the fact that he doesn't have 'presence' and therefore the six points we get for all those goals don't count.Marshall is not coming in for Ratugolea. Please stop
What do the Marshall lovers see when they watch the foot ball? Its just absurd
marshall when fit must first prove his form & confidence with the Magpies
mead for sub, sparkle needs a full game
Tbh and unpopular opinion I am not too fussed if we finished 3rd or 4th.
I would rather our guns cherry ripe.
It's also an opportunity to look at fringe players.marshall lord find some touch.
If it were me and I am a couch coach, Butters Connor jhf Aliir Bergman Sweet Charlie would all be out. Possibly Rioli and Ollie too

Would be nice if Carlton, Hawks and Dogs all win. Therefore this game will be a dead rubber for Freo and will lose the intensity and top 2 would just about be sewn up with Giants losing. If Dogs or Carlton lose, this is an elimination final for Freo and their biggest game of the year.

The only potential issue is that Geelong are a serious chance of beating West Coast by 80+ this week.
may sound stupid my comment, however i want geelong to finish 3rd, i am willing to risk the freo vs port game a decider if we are top 2 or not. this is how much i want to avoid playing gws in the first final. us vs geelong is such a good matchup, mainly due to our much superior midfield, and ruck.

I agree and I don't really want GWS either, but then I think if this team was ever to win a flag, we'll need to be able to beat anyone, anywhere. The Confidence that would come if we beat Giants, rather than beating Geelong in another QF would be greater IMO.

Seriously, wanting to avoid teams, if we’re good enough we beat them!
As stated, I’d throw JHf to Houston’s role. If we’re ontop push him middle and forward, under the pump play the quarter back. We have the attacking mids to cover his potential loss.

Games which appear beforehand like they are going to be thrashings rarely are. I would expect the Eagles to be somewhat competitive after last weeks smashing, my money is less than 10 goal loss

If we're playing the 'who would we rather play' game, I'd rather cop the harder game against GWS in a QF where we haven't historically shit the bed like we have in elimination finals. If we win that we hopefully get the easier game against Geelong in a prelim. If we lose it we're not doing shit this year anyway.

Why? We don't have a single fit KPF in form. The KPF line in the showdown was an absolute train wreck, a non event. Why would you not bring back a clearly more capable player than Ratugolea or Burton?

Dixon also rucks which helps him, but what helps him more are that the alternatives are far inferior. Charlie every day over the likes of Ratugolea or Lord. He can absolutely do a job and he'll be more effective with better teammates in the forward line with him.
Ya'll think Burton is the closest replacement to Houston but I think it's DBJ =/

Do all 4 of Todd, Charlie, Mitch and Esava make us too tall? Can mitch play more of a hybrid medium role?
