Logue was on Walker. I remember him talking about copping a big Taylor Walker boot in his back, and there still being a boot print on his back a few days later in the podcast.

Pearce was injured or he would have been on Tex, and I don't think Cox had the speed to go with Walker would be my guess... Logue usually plays on the athletic KPF like Buddy and Tex.

Luke Ryan has been doing exactly that for the last couple of years. Never misses an opportunity to support his mates.

Maybe.......
But it depends on what tall defenders stocks we have available.
Alex pearce plays, he plays full back in tilthorpe.
Cox is a solid CHB. He could do a shut down job on walker or play as a 3rd tall.
Logue should be on walker, thats my opinion. I wontbe fussed if Logue is a 3rd tall in round 1.

But saying that, the midfield will be the key.
Broadie and Clark look likely to play their 1st Freo game.
Will freo blood a youngster? Unlikely, more likely in Round 2

Forwardline is the key the midfield will be fine.
In Fyfe
Out Meek, Wilson (inj), Hughes, crowden (sub) and Brodie
first 3 outs relatively easy, I really struggle with the last 2. Brodie stays in if Fyfe doesn’t get up.

Yeah there are some individuals on some occasions that have helped out team mates (I think Darcy for example is very capable of helping team mates in the future). We need to do it more as a team, too often I see a Freo player getting belted around the oval (often Fyfe or Brayshaw) and there just does not seem to be that team support (within the rules) to ensure that the opposition know they can’t get away with that treatment.

With the numbers of small forwards we have compared to genuine mids, surely Banfield goes before Brodie? Especially with Crowden as sub. Inside midfield rotation is weak if not (only Fyfe, Brayshaw, Serong and Mundy).
Otherwise spot on.
Yeah, good point - banfield out, Brodie stays in.
I know what you are saying, but for mine, I am so heartily sick of us being good at contested ball but then "butchering chances".
Being poor with the ball in hand is just as big a sin (for me) as being poor defensively or being poor at the contest. All three parts of the game are equal in importance.
Its no good being this hard-at-it blue collar side that creates a lot of heat around the ball but then kicks it over the head of a leading forward or misses shots at goal straight in front from 30m.
If we had as much "polish" as "grunt" we would probably have a couple of flags by now and spent most of the last decade playing in September.
Lets show that we are ready to play in all facets of the game!

Didn't Jlo bring in that performance coach that worked with all those high profile golfers to help with their goal kicking? Awesome move but looks like it hasn't paid off if this continues...
He only uses Broadie when he’s setting up equipment for bands.
I've said it for years...you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear! Maybe a half decent money pouch but not a silk purse - we'll improve but at the end of the day it comes down to the personnel. Treacy, Sturt and Amiss will help over time and hopefully we target a natural goal kicking small forward in this years draft/trade period.
As an FYI, looks like the bookies have us favored atm.
Crows @ 2.10
Fremantle @ 1.80
Last year we went in as underdogs:
Crows @ 1.65
Fremantle @ 2.20
Sounds about right to me.

Assuming Treacy is match fit he does come in. If he isn’t, does Meek take his place? Swap Colyer for Henry.

I don't think there's any chance that Henry will be dropped for Round 1, you can bookmark this post and come back to harrass me if I'm wrong.
Hamling is nowhere near it. JL has more or less said that he's miles behind. He's only coming in if there injuries anyway (imo).
I would have Tucker in but it's probably unlikely due to limited match minutes, by all reports he's had a seriously good pre season and had Acres' wing earmarked. Acres does deserve his Round 1 spot but will be sweating bullets if Tucker has a good WAFL practice match.
If Fyfe doesn't come up then Brodie starts on field and Banfield to the bench.
Post Round 1.. I have NFI how we make room for Treacy and Sturt. Sturt in for Schultz maybe?? I say that being a huge Schultz fan. What a great position to be in.
Lobb will break his pea heart or his feelings or something soon enough and Treacy can work his way in though Ruck relief will be a dilemma...

I also think Henry is a lock and the only spots debateable at the moment from your list is Colyer and Acres. Even Colyer's is hard to justify being debateable on current and recent form.
It will probably come down to whether they think Aish and Tucker have had enough of a preseason to justify inclusion.
