Preview Changes v Demons

[YelloMit]

Hopefully that's the last we see of Zac Clarke.

 

[Righteo]

Ibbotson is back. He has looked lost this year, not looking forward to it.

So Mundy to replace Barlow in the middle and Ibbo to cover Mundy in defence? I can understand the rationale but I don't like it either.

 

[FreoRicci]

Very safe Ins. Ibbo gets given another crack and hopefully he's ready for it. Need some back up for Collins/Dawson. Zac Clarke is done. Surely Griffin as the lone ruck man pretty much shows him the door.

 

[Righteo]

And Griff battling solo against Gawn. Good luck to him the poor bastard.

 

[FreoRicci]

So Mundy to replace Barlow in the middle and Ibbo to cover Mundy in defence? I can understand the rationale but I don't like it either.

Don't forget Hill/Crozier off half back. Ibbo is normally the third man up anyay

 

[Gekko71]

Hannath the emergency over Zac... there's some rather nasty writing on the wall there for Zac.

 

[freo_leo29]

The outs were clear from Lyon at the post match Collingwood game. Who are the emergencies?

Hannath, Mzungu, Deluca

Deluca didn't travel

 

[Clems Knee]

Emergencies are Hannath, Mzungu and DeLuca.

No umpires named as yet.

 

[Lach72]

Yeah, stick a fork in him

 

[Belnakor]

Hannath the emergency over Zac... there's some rather nasty writing on the wall there for Zac.

i still don't understand why Zac still has the issue with his knee

 

[Gekko71]

i still don't understand why Zac still has the issue with his knee

Could be a RSI kinda thing... I've had a sore knee for over eight months, just keep twisting it the wrong way when I enter/exit my car.

Doesn't take much to keep a tendon in your knee inflamed for a long period.

 

[Belnakor]

Well it all comes back to him being off his chops and damaging it at a festival so he only has himself to blame.

 

[Allikat]

Tayl0r will be devo!

Nah, she'll find him & nurse him back to health

I get the feeling we upgraded Deluca purely to be able to name 25 fit players. Even though we're not playing the emergencies, and in Deluca's case not even flying him to the game, we still have to be able to prove our named players are AFL-level fit. And Clarke would be the only other player on our list which would meet that requirement.

 

[Kram]

And Griff battling solo against Gawn. Good luck to him the poor bastard.

Give Hannath one last chance!

 

[Frank J Moose]

So Mundy to replace Barlow in the middle and Ibbo to cover Mundy in defence? I can understand the rationale but I don't like it either.

And the other options?

 

[Freomaniac]

And Griff battling solo against Gawn. Good luck to him the poor bastard.

i am not keen on it.

Tabs will ruck 10-25% of the game if thats the case

 

[Righteo]

And the other options?

What are you asking?

 

[go_the_dockers]

What are people complaing about, one is injured, the other two did nothing against Collingwood.

• Michael Barlow (Broken Finger),
• Zac Clarke (Omitted),
• Jack Hannath (Omitted)

Ibbotson is worth another shot, Langdon played well in the WAFL and Griffin is better than Clarke and Hannath.

• Garrick Ibbotson,
• Jonathon Griffin,
• Ed Langdon

Let's hope Ibbotson and Langdon take their chances.

 

[freoextra]

I'm feeling the Dockers this week. Melbourne have a shite record in Darwin...

Am I bonkers?

No, but a Freo win remains unlikely with 5 first and second years players in the team. Glad they are getting a crack though.

 

[freoextra]

So Mundy to replace Barlow in the middle and Ibbo to cover Mundy in defence? I can understand the rationale but I don't like it either.

Not much choice I presume.

 

[Frank J Moose]

What are you asking?

Just pointing out that pretty much the only option there is.

 

[Allikat]

Just pointing out that pretty much the only option there is.

We could try Hannath as a KPD?




... please don't

 

[Righteo]

Just pointing out that pretty much the only option there is.

I said I understood it but didn't like it. Given our injury crisis there are currently a few selections like that.

 

[holy diver]

We really should keep playing Zac Clarke for his trade currency if nothing else.

I think everyone already realizes he is broken....
