Round 1 Discussion - Lets Get the Season Underway

[TheRednWhite]

Brayspud, my god is he bringing back the memories so vividly. He could have actually saved his core about 3 times, he cannot kick a simple goal with nobody around him. I really need to leave 100k in the bank next year so I can fix my spuds after round 1

Sturt on the bench of course, outscores 700k Crisp and 500k Brayspud. With all the changes this year I'm glad that some things never change, I cannot pick the right rookies on field ever

 

[_Cayz_]

Sturt on the field went better than expected... Brayshaw though.

 

[TheRednWhite]

If Bewley stays under 400k I'm jumping on. He looked so fit and role is amazing. Nobody else is allowed to take marks at Freo except him. They also only have one wing and it's the one that Bewley is on.

On Paddlebum watch now as a Brayshaw replacement

 

[Dan12]

Could someone please tell me why I thought it would be a good idea to put Adam Cerra into my side, he's sitting on 13 at 3QT.

Was this guy playing pure mid? Like his coach said he would be yesterday...

If so I don't even know how it's possible to score 13 in 3 quarters.

 

[mezaire]

Parker started like a train!!!

 

[Crashy]

Brodie Smith want to do something m8?

 

[kozi]

Brodie Smith next up at Fraud FC

 

[browncow]

Loving my backline guns in Crisp and Smith.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

I'm going to be sooooo far behind after round 1 already

 

[TheRednWhite]

does anyone want to stand near Laird today or no? Crisp over him is disgusting by me

 

[dodgie]

So what does Naismith need to make so I no longer feel sick about no Grundy

 

[TheRednWhite]

BSmith too....just useless. I had 2 chances to get Laird and still couldn't do it. Why did I think I could get away with Crisp and BSmith at D1 and D2 for 2 years in a row. Both go missing

 

[Crashy]

Dawson is why you don't pick "uniques"

ffs

 

[JDWCE]

Rowbum getting nowhere near it right now. A big unique flop currently. ****

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Crisp and B. Smith

 

[TheRednWhite]

what's the bet that Naismith won't get 70 after this good start. Great start by him but would love him to play 4 quarters

He had Sinclair taking a fair bit of the hitouts during the Marsh. He should score a bit more consistently across the game without him

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Seems like a fair bit of the positioning oer the Marsh series is not being replicated in the real thing?

Smith playing shutdown defender
Brayshaw getting 60% TOG

 

[TheRednWhite]

Laird number 1 defender this year simply because he doesn't go missing for large chunks of the game

wasn't Bray getting scans for a foot injury after Marsh? Maybe that was more serious than we thought

He did get a fair whack of midfield time but was playing a lot more outside and wasn't often in the contests until later in the game. He had 73% (fifth lowest TOG for Freo) game time, Brayshaw only had 65% TOG (second lowest for Freo). They both certainly got to play in the midfield but with the shorter games and a low percentage of time on ground they both weren't going to be able to score a high score.

If his injury was bad I don't see why they would be playing him.

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Where is Brodie Smith playing? Wow...

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Smith cant get anywhere near it. Nothing like his Marsh game

 

[dodgie]

Smith in the forward line? Why....
