Prediction Changes: Round 2 Vs GWS + pre-match discussion

[MadEyeEmmy]

Darcy and Wilson also in according to JL

Against saints gws had more inside 50. But look like saints nullified by huge number tackles inside 50. Mark's inside 50 both teams equal.. considering saints strong midfield they always going to get high number of inside 50s and marks. What you guys think our tactics should be against it with the limited options we have due to injuries?

it was a bad game but worst loss in a while? we had 2 defenders go down whilst missing most of our forward line. our skills were average but there were moments where we actually looked pretty good. colyer kicks a couple of those goals and we are right in it. winning round one would have been a massive boost to our confidence but come on, some of the over reactions on here are pretty silly.

I don't think my "worst loss" comment is an overreaction (maybe disappointing is a better word) given the expectation I have for Freo this season, whereas in 2019 my expectations were low. Melbourne isn't that good and Freo is a far better team than the performance we gave on Saturday. And Im certainly not in the "Sack the coach" bandwagon.

why do I get this horrendous feeling Freddy isn't playing?

 

[wayToGo_]

We are seriously going to run out of players at this rate. Duman not available either. Are we up to like 18 or so on the injury list atm?

 

[MadMundy]

Darcy and Wilson coming in is the right call, some experience and Wilson's pace will seriously help us at half back

 

[Lach72]

We don't have a crisis, but we lost 5 players this week alone

 

[Lach72]

And that's not even counting Valente who has disappeared into the vortex

 

[nurries]

it will be a deadset miracle if we win this.

If Freddy doesn't get up then by my count we only have 24 available players. And that means either Leno Thomas or Joel Western would have to be the sub.

No injury crisis at all

Injury list will go down plenty next week too, Walters, Logue and Sturt all back into the 22.

We better not be using this as a way to keep Colyer in the team, no excuses for him to be playing this weekend.

Of course he is in. Who else is there left?

Frederick? A literal like for like replacement, he's fit and ready to go, should be an automatic in.

 

[camel_toe]

Hopefully Colyer gets the sub role, and by miracle we don't get any injuries - he doesn't play. One can only hope.

 

[Sweetback]

Other than the missed goals I didn’t mind Colyer’s game. First game back to sort the radar out.

 

[Square Peg]

Yep only ones that are not in the 23 and available will be the first year players like O'Driscoll and Western. And rightly so, if you were fit, not a first year player and not in the team this week your career is over.

hahaha. I was literally looking for this pic too b4 seeing your post.

AFL: Do new rules spell the end of big ruckmen?

Freo: I think we'll pick two big ruckmen this week.

The AFL's new rules may force a reshaping of the ruckman of the future

I'd rather Colyer the sub most weeks, not so much because I don't want him playing, but because I reckon picking first years as medical subs can only mess with their development. If not activated, or if called on only in the last quarter, say, they're getting no minutes or hardly any, and missing out on game time in the WAFL.

Colyer's perfect for the medical sub, because he's experienced and can run out a full match, if he actually is called on in the opening minutes of the game, yet he's replaceable / no significant loss to the 22, and it's not going to mess with his development if he's missing games. In fact, because the medical sub is credited with a game, it's actually better for his career to be sub than miss out, whereas I'm not sure you want a Chapman or a Western missing out on WAFL time for the sake of wearing a vest that he doesn't get to take off.
