Prediction Changes v bulldogs

[King Huskii]

If O'Meara is to go out for Brodie, then someone else needs to do almost all of the role Jaeger is playing.

Can Brodie run a wing? Doubt it. Can Fyfe or Serong play that role, maybe, but both are better than Brodie.

If Brodie kicks some goals from the forward line he could get in the side but he and Erasmus are stuck behind two brownlows and a rising star and four B&Fs

O'Meara does nothing so whats your point

 

[pK75]

I’m just about done with JLo’s player selection, becoming so cynical now I almost hope we lose so I can come back and say “I told you so” like all those other sad posters who only show up after a loss to vent their frustration.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Purely because we didn't want to make more than 4 changes.

 

[kdw8]

JL sucks, bring in the caretaker

 

[apuchar]

So we should bring Taberner back then? Because he's kicked goals in every game. Doesn't matter that he does nothing else then. Because he kicks goals right?

Yes right. When he was at his best.

 

[Madas]

Sturt dropped and Walters and O'Meara retained.

FML

I like this

 

[MadMundy]

I acknowledge Erasmus, Sturt and Johnson were meh, though Sturt at least hit the scoreboard

Using your comment, why does Johnson get endless opportunities while the other two get dropped instantly?

I'd play Stanley over Johnson and say we'll lose absolutely nothing and potentially gain something

I would prefer Sturt and Erasmus to get gametime too, but unfortunately the front brass don't see if that way.

As for why Johnson gets so many? I couldn't tell you, I'm not going to complain though because we've seen how good he'll be.

Almost hoping we lose just for a minor and petty victory over people on a discussion board?

That's a new level of sad, sort your priorities out.

 

[CapitalA]

Lol four good changes and people can't be satisfied.

More will come with Amiss and Switta back next week.

Focus on the positive, we finally see the back of Hughes.

Yeah to be honest O'meara has been the least of our problems the multiple cat 10s that Hughes had every week was much worse.

 

[ROGS]

JL sucks, bring in the caretaker

maybe that should be the undertaker if we lose because of poor effort

 

[Freomaniac]

The team is about what id have except Banfield. He doesn't deserve a game as he can't kick.

I'd rather Simpson

Make Stanley the sub

Ethan Hughes has been omitted!

 

[Freomaniac]

Anyone concerned Cooper is in cause Freddy didn’t get up?

Well We all know what Michael Frederick is capable of on a wing and forward flank.

Cooper simpson can play a similar role too?

Not on anyone's side here but I think the 'I told you so' was rhetorical aimed at JLo and the mention of other posters on the board was identifying with them in a self-deprecatory way. Is that right pK? If so, I get where you're coming from - sticking with JOM especially seems bloody-minded and depresses me too.

 

[Freomaniac]

Sturt dropped and Walters and O'Meara retained.

I would of Kept Sam Sturt this week. This is a type of game he could of 2 or 3 goals vs the dogs

 

[FreoRicci]

Gee some serious melts here! They can’t drop 8 guys like you all want. 4 dropped and 4 come in all which I think were great choices! They even dropped Hughes and kept Draper! I’m very happy with the changes.

Can still drop 4 and include JOM. Stupidity

Excuse me, but what role is JOM doing that’s he’s excelling at?
Doesn’t touch the ball, is slow. JOM hasn’t kicked a goal this season. So Brodie can’t replace that?

 

[Freomaniac]

Calm down princesses. Sturt’s goals were junk time. He contributed nothing when the game was actually in play.

who cares!

He has proven to be an accurate goal kicker regardless if its junk time or if the game is on the line.

JOM is the latest escaped goat. He was ranked 14th for Freo last week, so hardly worst on ground. He just suffers from his performance being below expectation, plus he's building into the year.

The following were rated below JOM: Brayshaw, Sturt, Hughes, Draper, Aish, Walker, Banfield, Erasmus, and Amiss. Notice that Walters was rated above this lot, shows just how many were down last week.

Brayshaw, Aish, Banfield, and Draper get passes for obvious reasons, and three of these bottom rated players have been cut (ignoring Amiss).

Weve changed 17% of the team already. Let's see what's changed. Erasmus, Hughes, and Sturt were right to be the first dropped.

 

[SiempreFreo]

He looks like he is having issues with his hammies or calf or something. I watched a game with him a couple of weeks ago and he did no chasing or much of anything. Not sure about the cramp thing.

Agree. Seen him at close quarters looking v proppy. I’ve been expecting him to come off at various times in last few games.

What rankings are you referring to.

 

[fnerd]

I like the changes … except for JOM over Sturt…. Well actually JOM over anyone is extremely frustrating

The blokes got to have photos of JL , I can’t possibly think of any other legitimate reason why he continues to get picked

 

[Freomaniac]

Dropping the guy who kicked a fifth of our goals last week.

What a ****en joke

Nothing should suprised me. I remember when Freo kicked 1.7.13 vs the crows in round 15 back in 2009.

Our sole goal kicker? Ryan Murphy.

He was dropped.

Some random clown started a bay 13 thread about it.

Dockers faced Brisbane in Perth on a wet night.

Dockers lost 7.5.47 to Brisbanes 9.8.62.

For the record.. the 7 goals?

Kepler Bradley Kicked 2 goals. Adam Campbell, Antoni Grover, Scott Thorton, Dean Soloman, David Mundy all kicked 1 each.

 

[DocT]

I'm surprised by this comment and all the likes. Sturt's 1st was 21:43 in the 2nd. I'm surprised because at the time it was a glimmer of hope!

Forget the ratings. He had 5 touches to 3QT, then 8 in Q4. Hes far from a scapegoat last week.

Had 4 of his 6 disposals in the first half and kicked a goal in both halves.

Junk time specialist.
