Prediction Round 11: Changes Vs Demons + pre-match discussion

[FreoRicci]

So what ..its a winter sport.

There will be only 1 change for next week. Tucker in for Banfield who will be the sub.

Should be mandatory to prepare for the wet in winter. Prepare for the worst.

 

[FreoRicci]

Walker for Pearce. We're losing drive from defence having 1 too many KPD.

Time to go taller up forward, particularly if our plan is to bomb it long. The 4 X small forward plus Banfield isn't working!

Amiss for Banfield.

Erasmus for Freddy.

Colyer should be gone too but we don't have any options and need his pace without Freddy, but we can't have both.

So, IN: Walker, Amiss and Erasmus

OUT: Pearce, Freddy, Banfield.

I can't wait for Johnson to get up to speed to replace Acres. Fyfe to replace Aish.

Sorry buy Acres? Nah. He gets a longer chance. He has earned it. So has Aish.
Frederick, Banfield, Schulz, Pearce have been useless past two weeks.
How do the coaches drop Walker then Treacy and keep Banfield and Colyer in is beyond me

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Banfield - Erasmus
Sturt - Freddy
Aish - Walker
Chapman to wing

Fyfe to come back against Brisbane

 

[Lach72]

I’d drop Serong and bring in Erasmus or Crowden.
One can win the ball one can kick.

Serong has been shit for weeks. Sturt and Amiss in too. Freddy and Colyer out.
Felt sorry for Aish. Tried his guts out while they tried to get him to plug holes everywhere
Walker in for Pearce

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Serong skills were average i thought but live it felt like he was one of the few hitting in really hard and trying to win a contest. He’s also had 23 tackles across two weeks

 

[Kings of the State]

The irony is that we are still in a rebuild but we're excluding players who are part of that rebuild over spuds who are part of the problem.

We have over overachieved massively already but are acting like it's us v Dee's. Need to stop being so arrogant and stick to the plan.

Our mids need a week off. Bring in the depth.... Oh shit..

 

[Mr Cheese]

****ing state of this board. If Fyfe's in and it's dry we'll give them a run. If it's wet we're ****ed. Being a Freo fan is really simple sometimes, embrace it, makes winning more enjoyable.

We are a week away from this game and we are already doomed lol

I love it lol

 

[Midnite65]

Banfield - Erasmus
Sturt - Freddy
Aish - Walker
Chapman to wing

Fyfe to come back against Brisbane

Aish is not going to go anywhere, they have asked him to fill multiple roles each week as others arent pulling their weight.

 

[_007_]

Out: Banfield (form), Frederick (form), Walters (age) and Colyer (age).

In: Treacy, Erasmus, Tucker and Walker.

FB: Ryan Pearce Logue
HB: Young Cox Walker
C: Clark Mundy Acres
HF: Serong Lobb Erasmus
FF: Schultz Tabs Switkowski

R: Darcy Brodie Brayshaw

I: Chapman Aish Treacy Tucker

We really need to start pushing Clark, Chapman, Walker or Young up the ground.

 

[Midnite65]

When did we have momentum? Logue was part of a whole backline that was poor, but he had good moments and has been our best defender over the past month

maybe like when Walters got the first goal of the last within a minute, we were then only like 18 points down and then he has a massive brain fade instead of playing the percentages and momentum was lost, game over!!!!

Maybe, I’m trying to get Walker into that backline for better balance, rightly or wrongly we seem to be a better team him in there. Who would you drop from the back 7?

Not sure but the balance is clearly off with Cox, Pearce and Logue in the side, particularly if wet. So I guess one of them.

Push one to a wing, imo Clark or Chapman.

 

[Serongadongdong]

Banfield and Freddy out. Lobb shizzenhousen
In wet. If wet again he needs to go

I do not want to see those three play in the same time again all season except for vs Carlton or something. Have a rolling roster drop a different one each week I don't care it's clearly not working and changing our defensive structure after the saints game seemed to be one of the big reasons for our form over those six weeks.

Everyone always says ‘one of them’ but it’s really hard to do? Hand to heart, who do you’d drop?

After today's performance? Any of them.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Not an answer, on overall individual performance, none deserve to be dropped, on team balance, Walker needs to be in the side. If you want to drop one, who and why

 

[Scham]

To me it's Pearce. Probably the best one v one defender but offers nothing offensively and in fact is a liability when he gets it. It'll never happen though because he's in the leadership group. There in lies the problem.

 

[King Tenz]

Pearce easily, made from glass and over rated as hell on this board.

He’s also the only one who can play on the ‘big-boys’. I’m at the stage where almost match-up dependent

Can anyone else play on the ‘big-boy’ forwards?

 

[s_wd6]

Pearce - has kept some of the good talls quiet but always seems out of position in 1v1 + dodgy ankle and extremely slow decision making
Logue - Useless playing on a man. Doesn't offer much with disposal. That play on the wing with aish was the dumbest thing i've seen. Save him for matchups like curnow/cameron.
Cox - Gives his man way too much space that directly cost us about 4/5 goals tonight. Slow.

You could make a case for all three. Pearce only positive is he can supposedly play on those big men but he's not really done that well these past couple weeks has he? I'd be dropping him at the moment because he offers even less than the other too offensively.
