How bad is the Switta hammy?

How bad is the Switta hammy?

Anything not "awareness" at this stage is going to be missing round 1 I think

Hopefully not too serious.
Chapman's timeline seems a bit fluid according to the Freo media;

Scans have confirmed a moderate-grade hamstring strain for Heath Chapman, following Saturday's intra-club match.

"It is unlikely at this stage that Heath will be available for round 1," said Fremantle Executive General Manager of Football Joe Brierty.

"Our performance health team will now work with Heath to set his return to play plan.

"The exact timeline will be based on Heath's medical history and symptoms as he progresses through reconditioning."

Wait - he's out? What happened?

Hamstring

 

[go_the_dockers]

Well with Switta out now, I think Simpson is the closest like for like. Plus he's shiny and new.

Hopefully he gets a run in the pre-season games.

Do you mean Banfield??

Simpson would've already been in for shoota. So either banners or sturt.

We'd all like to think that but we all know its not true.

There is no world in which Banfield should be in instead of Sturt. But, Banners is always brilliant in pre-season so will probably do enough to be in round 1.

 

[Joao]

I personally hope Sturt was already in with Freddy, Walters and Switta.

Simpson to start and Banners can resume his rightful role as the AA sub coming on to dominate the Lions in the last quarter.

Well Banfield was pretty invisible in the last intra club so he better pick up his game this preseason.

 

[MadMundy]

Banfield as the super sub is the right choice for him, he's good enough to come on fresh late in the game but I would never play him for a full game unless there was no other option.

 

[The Feeder Club]

So far this preseason I have seen arguments for Fyfe, Brodie and now Banfield as the super sub. We might have some deficiencies on our list but seems we're absolutely stacked for the sub role.

I’m still in the Fyfe starts and gets subbed out for Brodie middle of the 3rd quarter camp. Don’t lose much as they play a very similar role but helps manage Fyfes loads and a fresh Brodie is probably our highest impact sub.
Actually sucks for Brodie, but unless he can develop a secondary role can’t see him and Fyfe on the ground at the same time.

I reckon you can be too cute with planning for the sub to be a scheduled replacement for just one player, first and foremost you want the sub as injury cover and so versatile. What concerns me in your scenario is Brodie is such a one trick player and not really an impact player either, I don't see him as a good sub option personally.

If you’re going to do that you need a couple of flexible players in the 22 already in case of injury - specifically In the midfield so they can make way for Brodie, Eg switta, Ras, JOM, Johnson - but most of those are only suitable to go into forward line not back.

Logic is sound until any of the 21 other players get injured and we are treacle slow in the midfield

How does Banfield help if a defender goes down?

We have that flexibility, especially when Switta and Jackson are in the team. Apparently Brodie played some forward minutes in the last Sim so I don’t think that’s a problem. I may be placing too much emphasis on one game, but none of our subs in 2023 had the impact Brodie did in the GC game. That’s what a sub should bring, high impact when the rest of the team are fading.

 

[Duz97]

Surely Emmett over Banfield and sturt

[Docker82]

Surely Emmett over Banfield and sturt

Sturt scored 12 goals in his last 7 games.

It took him three years but he finally started to deliver on what he showed start of 2020.

I think if Switta is out there may be room for Emmett but Sturt should already be in the side.

Brodie turned the game against the Suns when he came on

 

[DragoDelph]

Surely the sub doesn’t need to be versatile if 90% of the rest of the team is?

You just move everyone else if you need to

That’s kinda why BB works. He can almost plug any gap.

We’re not always exchanging 1 for 1 with the sub, we may get multiple injuries in a game which throws the Fyfe for Brodie argument out the window.

I’m for the sub being the most versatile player possible.

And it’s why most teams do the same. The scenario when clubs don’t is player coming back from injury can also be used as the sub.

 

[theGav56]

Is there a way that Brodie or Fyfe start and the other is the sub. Play half a game each.

Doesn't expose Brodies fitness and is a way of managing Fyfe through the season.

I don't think they both can play with current midfield as we'll be too slow.

Sub is going to be interesting. I'm liking Simpson. Whoever it is we need someone who can get going fast.
