Preview Changes: R5 2021 vs Fremantle

[blitzen666]

Walker Kelly and Lynch all potentially coming in underdone. I rate freo so this should be a good indication of where we are at

 

[WetCrow1991]

What are the odds that they were praising the strong 4th quarter in their post game analysis? Pretty good I think. How can you drop anyone from the team that managed to overrun such a powerful opponent.

Gotta back the boys in to respond though!!!! Except it sure would be great if one or two were backed in to respond in the SANFL.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Wow. Just wow. how Does frampton keep on getting selected? afc is a shit show.

 

[ABAB]

Wow. Just wow. how Does frampton keep on getting selected? afc is a sh*t show.

Well, if he doesn't perform tomorrow, Himmelberg will definitely take his spot after today's performance.

If they are underdone we are at appeasement of the masses and It shows Nicks is compromised

So Himmelberg will then be a decoy for Walkers space.

Fampton wasn't playing exclusive as a decoy, he had chances to take mark inside 50 and also missed some gettable goals.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Unchanged is a disappointing result for where I see the squad ending up later in the season.

Having a tilt at the top 4?

 

[Red mist]

Yeah he’s going to get some looks but he’s definitely clearing space and taking away a defender, no?

 

[Red mist]

Having a tilt at the top 4?

Yeah, that’s what my granny said.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Yeah, that’s what my granny said.

Some people get sarcasm, some don’t

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Unchanged indicates that we can’t strengthen the team anymore than where its currently at.

 

[Red mist]

Some people get sarcasm, some don’t

Some play along, some dont

We know where we are gonna be. Strengthening isn’t key. Keying up the squad is.

 

[Golumless]

Murphy, McAdam and Rowe are doing better.

Murphy more up the ground/forward, Rowe and McAdam natural goal kickers.


Newchurch will be banging that small forward door down soon. Genuine, very quick leg speed and goal nous. We lack keg speed.

Not at all.

Rowe is completely off the mark. Performance wise, Jimmy is our worst small forward and there is daylight between him and everyone else. Though I'm happy to give Rowe time to work it out, he's young and showed some promising signs, however he's rated ok in goals and below average everywhere else.

Ned is also outperforming Murphy in both offense and defens at the moment, and that's with the disadvantage of not being in the middle either. It's close but Ned is getting more ball, hitting the scoreboard just as often (though with much better accuracy), offering equal score involvements and more defense.

McAdam is probably the closest to McHenry in terms of performance (and really I could be persuaded it's a tie). McAdam only has goals, and has been close to useless in every other facet of the game. That said, it's over 2 a game and I'm willing to overlook a lot of sins for someone averaging 2+ goals a game in the right set up. They're a pretty good pairing, all things considered. Against McHenry who has produced elite defense and ok offensive stats.

The only "small" forward who is comfortably outperforming McHenry is Schoenberg.

Damn you and your facts

"Well, a lad named McAsey doddling nowhere in the SANFL could be taking a look at CHF in the SANFL to see if he can fire a bullet (he did play most of his footy there), since Berg and Frampsy are wamsy pamsy and RT is yet ready and steady but perhaps my grand idea is too logical bogical.

What is this ?

As much as I like Ned, I'm not sure about the comparison between him and Rowe?




Ned obviously the better pressure player, which is why I think we need to persist with him (different kind of small role), but we've put each of them in for a reason. Give them an extended run of games to gain confidence, then they'll become confident forward/midfielder types

Was Walker an injury issue or just a rest from his workload during that main training session? Thought I heard something that meant it was the latter, could be wrong though

It was said that he took a knock to the calf prior to drills starting. There was footage of his calf being looked at. It was then said it was normal management as I don't think he took part in the actual session. Pick whichever you prefer.

 

[Murray2503]

That's what happens when you shutdown Glenside.

Is this a stroke?

 

[CrowinNT]

After hours of decoding I believe the poster is suggesting we move McAsey to CHF as he may do better than the others

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

The youngest side playing our the oldest team possible each week.

On SM-A205YN using BigFooty.com mobile app

15 players with less than 50 games AFL experience and an average age of 24.29 years of age and 63.8 average games experience for our 22 this week.

Compared to Freo who have 7 with less than 50 games experience, average age of 25.18 and 87 games average experience

North - 13 players selected with 50 games or less, average age of 24.13 and 71.5 games experience.

Suns - 10 players with 50 games or less, average age of 24.4, 71.72 games experience.

I think selection is fine, kids are being played. Probably the least experienced side in the comp this week, and 2nd youngest average age.

Seemed ok until "bogical".

The reason it looks like that is we've had a culture of playing our most experienced side each week, even when injured. The fact that we're still doing that, less Mackay who missed as sub last week. So there is reasonable concern that the culture hasn't changed as there's a difference between choice and necessity. What it looks like this week is that we'd still prefer to play a senior under duress than a fully fit replacement. It may turn out that they're all fine, but we've got 5 under a cloud and they've all gotten up at this moment. In a rebuilding side with Worrell having put in 2 excellent games, why bother waiting on a game day fitness test for Jake Kelly?
