Game Day Rd 1 vs Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (1:10 AWST)

[wayToGo_]

The two least experienced teams of the round up against each other today. We are 3rd youngest, Adelaide are youngest for the round. Pretty even on the demographics. 13 players under 50 games for each team. They have 3 players with 150+ games, we have 2.

But no doubt the AFL media will all be talking about how young and inexperienced North and Hawthorn are.

Logue

You're joking?

 

[Purple_Turtle]

Why would we bring in Erasmus for Logue when we also have Walker in Adelaide?

 

[s_wd6]

Away game to start the year 3 years in a row I've just realised

Whats with that?

5 years since optus and only 1 opening round there...

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Why not?

If you’re going to debut a top talent, give them a full game. Save the sub for fringe players.

I'm fairly certain it's a fixturing sacrifice the club has made, in order to have the rights to host the Len Hall Tribute match at the same time each year.

Nice. I can live with that.

Just like Collingwood and essendon need to make a sacrifice every year for their Anzac day game... oh wait

Followed by 3 games in Perth. If that's the trade off it's not a bad way to start the season.

I'm with you...but we all know the VFL is not an even playing field, particularly when it comes to Colonwood and the Peptides...

 

[JammoMonty]

You're joking?

I’m hoping it’s him

 

[Funbeanman]

Even though it's a massive danger game i believe the boys can win by 19 points

Perhaps the extra defender isn't the need and we'd rather rotate another mid through instead?

Today is game day Freo. We are playing [INSERT FRANCHISE NAME]. Please don’t f*ck us over too badly [INSERT UMPIRES’ NAMES].

Plus Erasmus is versatile and we already had 7 defenders anyway

 

[millsy]

On paper we already have an extra tall defender (without Logue) and six pure defenders, looking at Adelaide's side it'd almost make sense from a balance point of view if that was the switch.

Is there any evidence it was about Logue other than a post from the guy who hate Logue?

A lot of reaction to what is currently only a rumour. Even if true, there is no evidence it is due to injury.

Believe it when I see something official.

Yeah hope it’s not true as Logue really needs a run of games

 

[salim malik]

AFL site says no late changes but that means stuff all

 

[Piggy Smalls]

He was hoping it was Logue. There’s literally no news on any changes apart from SEN reporting Raz is in

 

[freo1997]

Probably saw emergencies and thought it was the interchange?

 

[Taylor]

Team lodgement just passed, but the AFL site is reporting the latest as of Saturday.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

What did SEN say? That it was a late change or just casually mention it? If the latter, I assume it’s just them not having a clue that we took 26 players?

 

[mattis117]

We're nearly at T-60 minutes, team sheets on the way soon

 

[believe_it]

Here's hoping we don't go three or four goals down before we wake up. We should win this ........shouldn't we?
