My early, pre Peel match thoughts are…
I think we need to keep our defensive structure with the two talls plus Ryan. I was in favour of going shorter against Collingwood, but after watching Chapman last night I don’t want him to be dragged into a defensive matchup. Dropping Draper and starting Wagner would mean Chapman likely plays deeper on Fritsch. But he’s far too valuable with ball in hand and needs to be free to use the ball up the ground.
I would again like to give Davies a shot ahead of Draper. But it seems we’ve made the call to stick with Draper until Cox is back. It’s not a knock on him, but he’s now played almost as many AFL games as senior WAFL games. I thought he looked slow last night and I think it’s time he goes back and develops his offensive game more.
I would like to see us ‘manage’ Fyfe and Walters, but I don’t see it happening. Maybe Walters goes to sub again - with Wagner starting, Aish playing more wing and O’Meara more forward. But I do expect both to play.
The only change I’m expecting is…
