Strategy Changes: Round 3 West Coast Eagles vs. Fremantle Dockers

[Raz]

Blood which young ones Ras? They were all out there.

nope we still got a whole squad at PEel.

play anyone, dont care if they can play aFL level or not

Fremantle were far more exciting to watch and follow when the players didnt think they were all stars and they jsut had a lot of fun. getting beaten badly so often, but the fans kept comign back.

Now , we have this team of CHAMPIONS. but we dont have a CHAMPION team.

Bring in anyone who just wants to play. not be a star..

I don't even know what you're talking about to be honest. Champion team?

We played the young guys that deserved a game. When and if the Peel guys deserve a game then they should come into the side.

 

[Cesoir]

Also Voss was fine in the forward line except for his kicking in goal, and the miskick across the ground that cost us a goal. Yeah yeah, I know that forwards are paid to kick goals.

Other than the fact that he missed multiple simple shots on goal, including one which would probably have sealed the game.

Other than the fact he completely ignored a great lead from Amiss when he was 55 metres out and decided to take the hail Mary shot.

Other than the fact he was brought in to play second ruck but couldn't manage that.

Other than the fact when the game was in the balance he hit a ridiculous cross which was "at best" going to a one on one, but missed it anyway and ked to a goal.

Yeah, otherwise he was OK.

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Would love to see Hugh Davies in for Cox and one of Fyfe or Brodie in for Walker, but neither will happen.

Injury to Walker will be the only change I reckon, and they will just bring Worner in again.

I want Cox out of the side too. He just looked like he didnt care out there today.

 

[Timmytime]

Out walker, in fyfe.

Sure it was a frustrating loss, but people really overreacting imo. Also Voss was fine in the forward line except for his kicking in goal, and the miskick across the ground that cost us a goal. Yeah yeah, I know that forwards are paid to kick goals.

This is why our club is the way it is - we accept mediocrity. We haven’t won since July last year ffs!

 

[bone2468]

Some how get Aidan Riddle into the team, best time is against west coast non existent rucks

 

[332docker]

I reckon it will just be:

Worner In for walker

 

[mattis117]

i think it time to admit we not a contender and jsut blood the young ones.

yep we wil lget thrashed in many a game. but i would rather see a brand new set of players than the bunch that jsut dont care to work as a team. they all have patches of brilliance so they can play. but they dont do the teram things.

Why are the forwards so often going for the same mark. 3 talls means 2 diffrent targets. not 3 in the one drop zone.
Why are we holding the ball so long after marks? play on look for a runner coming past. be the runner going past. Lobbying the ball into forward half most of the time goes to packs so run and break a line. small forwars drag your defenders with you and leave space for the talls to mark or bring ball to ground


Yeah dump them all. they have dumped me as i am broken .

Didnt even watch the game today.

Haha that so fkd. Round 2 just losing to the Swans and you wanna throw in the towel rofl.

 

[apuchar]

Simpson for Freddie.

 

[Docker82]

I reckon it will just be:

Worner In for walker

Agree but I’ll be ****ing angry if that’s how we go.

Draper did okay replacing Walker so we’re more than likely picking for the sub role.

Fyfe, Narkle, Aish, Brodie and Simpson would all be better options. Depth is useless if you don’t use it and pick absolute hacks instead.

Apart from Reidy (maybe), Worner is quite easily the worst player on our list that has played an AFL game.

 

[lint]

do we have anyone who can kick it well? some of the worst footskills I have seen in an AFL side today

 

[Midnite65]

Im someone who rarely heavily critcizes freo players and I agree on Cox. His effors in some of those marking conests were woeful.

Apart from the last one how about Cox 20 metres behind that great full forward Ladhams when he marked and goaled in the first half.

 

[Midnite65]

Out: Freddy

I'm done with him. If you offer nothing around the ground you have to at least nail a set shot from 30m out. What a ****en joke.

Voss gets one chance to redeem himself cause **** bringing Reidy back

For as bad as Voss was at kicking for goal he is miles ahead of what Reidy would have offered.

 

[s_wd6]

He didn't even start 20 meters behind. When it was kicked they were side by side and he just gave up after one step. He very easily could have gotten a fist in if he didn't stop.

God, I miss Hayden Young. We're honestly not worthy of him

The players threw in the towel today. Absolutely horrible play no matter the margin

No they didn't, it wasn't lack of effort

 

[Tonga Bob]

Blood which young ones Ras? They were all out there.

These ones.

 

[FreoRicci]

Not far off. Can’t really change the team unless maybe Simpson comes in.

We’re still young.

In : Aish
Out: Walker

Please not Worner

 

[FreoRicci]

I reckon it will just be:

Worner In for walker

What a stirring, inspiring change.

**** Worner. He’s crap.

Play Aish. Someone that is clear and experienced at the back. Allows Wagner and Clark to go attacking. He’s so underrated, no idea why he’s not getting a look.

 

[Getlegs]

That's pretty close to our best side unfortunately.

We need someone to replace Walker. Assume it's either Worner or Aish. Thought worner looked promising before his concussion last year.

Would like to see Brodie in the side, but not sure who comes out. Wouldn't play Fyfe or Narkle if they aren't ready.

Banfield, Voss, Eramus, Freddy are barely afl standard.
Ryan and Cox aren't playing their best footy at the mmoment.

Brodie should come in and replace Walker and just get in the middle. Leave NOD on the wing.
JOM complicates everything. Sure he had a good solid game. But is he someone you want to have strong games in a side that’s young? Those type of guys/performances are for his old team, Hawthorn, when they were rebuilding. It’s pretty dire if that’s the best we can do

Would have 100% said Omeara, but he did play well today, so not sure you can drop him this week.

 

[Hamann188]

Uh dunno. Whatever. This'll do.

Cox Pearce Ryan
Draper Chapman Pearce
NOD O'Meara Sharp
Bolton Treacy Reid
Voss Amiss Raz

Jackson Brayshaw Serong

Simpson McDonald Johnson Brodie

Sub: Fyfe

Only reason I've still got Ryan and Cox in there is because I can't find anybody to replace them.
Or I put Reidy and Davies in there. Like I said, I don't really care anymore.
Game's a lose/lose either way. We either lose to the worst team in recent history, or we beat a team in the meat of a rebuild.

At least Banfield and Freddy have shown something in past AFL games. Erasmus has show nothing, he is our next Connor Blakely.
