Prediction Rd 1 (you know: the first round after the opening round) team

[pK75]

I will bet my left nut we will pick one of Erasmus or Banfield to play as a defensive forward on Coleman round 1

You’re probably right, and I am not going to stake the family jewels on it, but I’d love to see Emmett get that lockdown role, from all reports his tackles are bone crunching and I’m not sure Coleman could handle many of them before he starts looking over his shoulder instead of picking our zone defence apart.

 

[Vintage]

reckon there’s a fair chance Hughes comes in now with Chappy out.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Ok so after my viewing of 1 preseason intra club I think we will likely see something like this:

Ryan Pearce Walker
Clark Cox Aish
Sharp Serong Johnson
Switkowski Treacy Frederick
Walters Amiss Jackson
Darcy Brayshaw Fyfe
Young O'Meara Hughes Sturt Simpson

Not a go at your team, I’m just curious where JOM fits this year.

Talented player but I’m not sure where he fits. Is he out new small forward?

As long as he’s not playing terribly (which he hasn’t yet) JOM will always be in the 23. I personally think he’s somewhere between getting the vest and starting HFF if the game was to be played today. Sounds like he played a bit of wing in the sim..so that’s an option.

Speaking of if push comes to shove AB and JOM are seasoned enough to transition on the wing if need be. We have heaps of midfield bulls where there may be a dilemma that we have a overflow of inside mids who could take the “genuine” wingers spots. Those wingers are the like of Sharp, Noddy and the mid season recruit from last year..what’s his name .

Aish has already got the tap on the shoulder that he’s playing in the backline and Chappy needs to get his body right.

Why are some people selecting Hughes

We would be going backwards

Collingwood and Brisbane he'd never get a game

What has Young done (or not done) to get himself dropped?

Just plain oversight, I'd push Johnson to the wing and drop O'Driscoll in his place.

Rotating between centre bounce and half forward I imagine.

This is more me guessing what we will see rather than what I would select based off the intra club and previous team selection.

 

[E Shed]

I don’t think we can presume Cox will be ready. Has the club said anything?

Not sure Walker will be physically ready by round 1 either. Be interesting to see how he's managed across the coming preseason games.

 

[Catalpa]

If Walker and Cox are unavailable and the back 7 are

Ryan Pierce Wagner
Clark McDonald Aish
Bench: Hughes

Who is next in after them? Do we have any other backs AFL ready?

 

[Channels]

With injury recovery etc, I think it will be

Ryan Pearce Wagner
Clark McDonald Aish
Sharp Fyfe Young
Frederick Treacy Johnson
Walters Amiss Jackson

Darcy Brayshaw Serong

Bench: Young, Simpson, Hughes, Banfield
Sub: Brodie

Worner the closest to ready, then it’s the untried Davies, Draper and Murphy.

You've got Young twice

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Since Walker is in match sims now, I think he makes it for round 1. If Cox was playing half a sim I'm sure we'd all think he was playing, Walker has only been held out from contact for a while now. Plenty of running under him. I also think it's ridiculous if Cox doesnt make it because it likely means the initial report was rubbish from the club or Cox again sucks it his rehab (which he has a history of).

Walker Pearce Ryan
Clark McDonald Aish
Johnson Brayshaw Sharp
Sturt Jackson Frederick
Walters Amiss Treacy

Darcy Serong Young

Fyfe Wagner Switta JOM

Sub: Emmett

Emmett in, Erasmus to sub if Switta doesnt get up, they'll put Simpson through Peel before he gets a game (as is seemingly required at Freo)

 

[FreoRicci]

Walker an outside chance?
He could be back within the first month.

Emmett has to play ahead of Banfield. Simple.

Sturt, Emmett, Erasmus and Simpson ahead of Banfield for mine.

 

[Righteo]

If they come out a few days before the game and announce Cooper Simpson will make his senior debut in the 22 I reckon that'll be good for another 1,500-2000 through the gates.

As it stands I reckon Snuff is bang on the money.

First round. Want to start off right. Think Cooper will be round 3 onwards

Bang on, with the one exception. I reckon Cox will get up.

will want to prove something so I’d keep Fyfe away from him.
As long as we don’t have too many injured I’d say this game will be better
to judge than playing against ourselves.
Their midfield is going to be huge so it should be a good test to counter.

Would there be any chance of Wagner getting the knod over Hughes?

I think I'd be more than happy to walk away from the scratchie with a loss if it meant we got out of it unscathed.

I'd like to see us playing at 80 or even 90% intensity, maybe experiment with some rotations and strategy.

Gotta remember, the season proper isn't for a few weeks yet. We don't wanna walk out of this one with a laundry list of injuries.
