Prediction Changes v Gold Coast ( Round 15 )

[freo1997]

Walters : Banfield
Banfield :Johnson
Johnson : Wagner
Draper : Davies
Worner : Chapman
They aren’t dropping JOM or Aish

Yeah that looks right.

 

[Freomaniac]

To be honest even in 2022 Brodie really tapered off in the second half of the year. People have rose coloured glasses remembering his first dozen or so games for us and forgetting that he was nowhere near that level later in the year (I'll admit, he played ok against Collingwood in that dismal final).

That's the thing with AFL, your weaknesses get found out quickly, he was virtually like a mature age draftee at the start of that year, he'd been in the system but no one knew about him and we sprung a surprise on a few teams. But then reality hit.

Will Broadie still averaged 27.4 disposals a game in 2022. You cant say he couldn get his fair share of the ball.

well the changes are interesting.

Draper Being omitted isnt abad thing. Start of the season when Brennan Cox was injured, I hoped Draper and Davies got roated and played 3-5 games each. Draper got a solid run of 8-10 games. I wanted Hugh Davies in at least a month back to rest Draper.

Could we bring in Emmett? Maybe. But I wouldnt drop Sam Sturt for Emmett I think Emmett rotated off the bench is fine. I have no issues with 5 forwards and a roatating mid in the forward line either.

Oh no not a ginger.

Well The last ginger to play in Freos back line was Tobe Watson, He wasnt the worst defender in the AFL wasnt he?

 

[JammoMonty]

Really happy about the Davies inclusion! Draper has had a good run, now time to go back and continue his development.

It makes me nervous every time Sturt is named on the extended bench that they're going to do something stupid

Sturt starting to show his first round worth. Has been held back with injuries but he is a talent when the confidence is up.

The thing that always stays with me from the press when Sturt was drafted was a quote from Quaynor saying Sturt was so hard to play on in U18 because of his first few steps being so quick he could always burn you on the lead.

I was concerned he might have lost that burst but the way he led at the ball last week & burned the defense running back at goal suggests maybe he still has it.

We know he’s an elite set shot. If he can keep getting on the end of a few & continues to improve his ground game & defensive efforts we may still have a good player.

 

[Taylor]

I think Sturt's best weapon is that he is clean taking possession of the ball. Very clean hands.

Sliding doors;
If Fremantle can get Fredericks and Sturt firing on all cylinders then….
A deep September run is on the cards

Doors may be sliding, but the window will be opening wide to the full...

[james haish]

Draper was very poor against Dogs. No surprises he’s an out

 

[David Bubb]

 

[apuchar]

Wagner I imagine.

 

[FreoRicci]

Geez that’s late.
Wagner straight into the 22 then.
Voss into the extended team is interesting

 

[s_wd6]

must be true about Covid then.

 

[freo_leo29]

Aish is a very very lucky man

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Aish is a very very lucky man

Probably would've kept his spot either way. Walker out probably benefits 1 or both of Wagner + Worner most.

 

[Mk LXIII]

Covid? Well they certainly didn't catch it from the Bont.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

It's certainly got a hold of me at the moment - and personally finding it significantly worse the second time around.

I reckon a statement was coming tbh

Hopefully a late recall gives him the kick he needed though

Plus acceleration...
Plus accuracy..
..a lot right there!

 

[oldgoat]

We would like to catch something from The Bont

 

[Mk LXIII]

We would like to catch something from The Bont

Skills?

 

[FreoGirl]

Bummed about Walker

 

[apuchar]

I'm no too concerned if they bring Wagner in, in his place.

 

[FreoGirl]

it must be something they don't expect him to be over by Sunday

 

[332docker]

I hope no one else is affected
