Prediction Rd 5 Changes vs Port

[Taylor]

we really struggled once Aish was injured last year - think it was against Carlton?

Richmond cleaned him up in a bump

 

[anchor man]

If chapman is ready, I think Freo should go with
In: Chapman, Darcy, Ras, JOM, Worner
Out: Hughes, Tabs, Switta, Freddy, Johnson (Sub)
And line up like this

Ryan Pearce Aish
Worner Draper Clark
Sharp Serong Chapman
Walters Jackson Banfield
Treacy Amiss Emmett
Foll: Darcy Brayshaw Fyfe
IC: Walker, JOM, Ras, Young, Sub: Johnson

Hughes has his foot firmly stuck in the door.
He is a certaintly to play.
Tabs out Sitta and Freddy out with injury
Chappy I wouldn't think will fly, Same with Worner.
O'Meara, Darcy and Erasmus are already there.

Test.

Test.

if it was just cramp, we need him

For this week, yes. When Chapman is ready it's surely Hughes who makes way.

You think Hughes is bad, but then you replay the games and he saves a few goals..

No, I don't think Hughes is bad. I think Chapman is much superior. I re watched our qualifying final recently, Chapman was one of our most important players that night. When he's fit, which sadly he hasn't been for a while, I think Chapman is in our top ten players.

He will be very hard to remove in my opinion.He has more than played his part in the way we are playing.
I think Chappy may have to play afew more WAFL games.

 

[Footskill]

Hughes is better than a half baked chapman, contrary to many beliefs around here. Also better not rush chapman in before ready and sustain another injury

 

[FreoMatt]

Switkowski is a test.

Banfield should be moved into the forward line for Frederick to cover. Bring in Worner and Aish plays wing.

Good to hear Frederick is only 1 week. Comes back v West Coast.

I’ve never seen a one week hammy and looking at the footage when he did it, he wasn’t actually running that hard at the time so I would definitely bring him back after the derby. He isn’t going to be the reason we win/lose the derby

Looks like Port has an almost injury free list

 

[Madas]

Yeah but.....

difficult to respect an analyst who is shifting their position after the evidence is there. Borderline bandwagonning.

Hear what you are saying but To be honest based on last years shit show I don’t think any of us were holding much hope for this year
The turnaround has been quite remarkable

 

[Superkoops]

I actually hope they bring in Wines and SPP. That can mess with the mix that has been working so well.

Hughes has done ok but he's currently the leading scorer against for Freo this season. When Chappy is ready he comes in for him in a very easy decision. Hughes is depth.

 

[oldgoat]

When our midfield shows Port how it’s done, and we announce ourselves with a 15-20 point win over Port this weekend, the Vic media will all jump on (reluctantly) but still find a reason why we’re not a premiership contender

This match may see the mystery that is Darckson revealed!
Over in Adelaide's Port City they don't seem too confident that Soldo can stand up before the one/two punch of Swaggy and Dogga.
Win the hitouts and deny Port clearances will kill their launch out of the centre.
Big Charlie Dixon is not getting the old love and won't do well against our back 6.
If Darcy gets up and NevAmiss fires...we will bank the 4 points.
YOKAI!

 

[Madas]

Someone said JL said 1-2 weeks for Freddy and they think Switta is half a chance for this week

That’s great news

 

[Taylor]

that's right - I hated that game too lol

Blew his headband off right in front of my dear old mum who has noticed he isn't wearing long sleeves this year.

 

[freo1997]

If Darcy isn’t ready I reckon Reidy will debut and at least play 1 game.

Think we’re keen on the triple J fwd line with Tabs making way.

 

[sumavich]

Listening to Longmuir on Tele and I’m not sure I’m confident Darcy will be fit

 

[BStaff17]

Of all the top teams, Port is the most susceptible to good coaching (IMO obvs). They're also the biggest flat track bullies. I can see us winning with a high standard 4 quarter effort, but we'll get smashed if we're off a little bit.

Their midfield could also do a number on us even if we play well.

A bet each way there haha.

The only possibility I didn't see mentioned was a draw.

Banfield should be moved into the forward line for Frederick to cover. Bring in Worner and Aish plays wing.

Good to hear Frederick is only 1 week. Comes back v West Coast.

Aish is very average on the wing, he has cemented a spot in the backline, would be crazy to move him from that now.

I had Aish out of our team in the preseason (With Sharp taking his spot) but Aish has turned it around as a defender.

 

[freo_leo29]

O'Driscoll said in the interview after the Peel game that both he and Chapman will likely play full WAFL minutes next match.

From watching the broadcast I don't think Chapman came on until halfway through the first quarter against Subiaco and was seen on the sidelines during the match, suggesting he had limited game time, although he did enough when he was out there to be one of Peel's better players.

Wednesday is the training session for Darcy.

Noddy should play full mins but Brierty basically said Chappy has another couple of weeks of limited mins on the radio, Chappy has been out for a couple of months

 

[Taylor]

That kick to Tabs loose on the wing at the end of the 4th was quick footy brain and execution. Aish is just a smooth player.
