This is where we should of kept Taylin Duman and Tobe Watson on the list. Both are 190-192 cm. More like tall flankers but you could get away with playing either of those at centre half back against some sides
Still no clue why Tobe was delisted at all.
 
Why do players always end the interview with "I respect the tribunal and the decision they come to". We clearly are held to a different standard than the big $$ eastern clubs. Why not just lay it all out on them lol and let the club pay the fine.
 
Now that Serong is out this weekend, how well we're going at the moment and a predicted wet afternoon at the G, are we able to just ring up the Pies and tell them we'll just forfeit this weekend and save everyone the hassle? Take the L and a 10 goal margin.

The most frustrating thing about being a Freo supporter is that the club has always struggled with expectation. Other than RTB era 2014-15.

Whenever we are favourite or seem to be going well, everything goes to shit. As a club, we just don't know how to handle expectation and will always prefer to a dreaming underdog with high potential.

The funny thing is, most of us supporters are precisely the same. We dream and wish that some young player at Peel (who had a great kick in the third quarter an under 18 championship game) will be our savior and should be getting a game over some player who's played 100 games for us. Fun fact, that player never makes it.

We are forever dreamers, and that is our happy place and the clubs.

And for all those reasons, we will win this week!

Because the AFL has to power to ruin them for showing any dissent. I think coaches get $50,000 fines for being publicly upset at an umpiring call and have to publicly beg forgiveness to avoid it.

The AFL is petty.

Was thinking the same thing earlier today.

No Cox, and Pearce also in a moon boot today apparently. We’ll have Peel’s backline. And then no serong, Brodie, Fyfe in the midfield. It will be very very ugly.

I know right, I'd tell them they're a bunch of corrupt campaigners and enjoy the notoriety
 
OUT: Cox, Walker, Serong, Frederick
IN: Hamling, Wilson, Banfield, Sturt

Johnson and Switkowski on shaky ground.

Put Banfield in the middle to support the short people. He’s 25 years old and 90kg. Opposition midfielders won’t break his tackles.

Schultz Amiss Sturt
Walters Jackson Switkowski
Erasmus Brayshaw Henry
Aish Pearce Clark
Young Hamling Ryan
Darcy Banfield Johnson

Int: Treacy Hughes JOM Wilson

Banfield is decent in packs. He doesn’t shy away from that. Will never happen though. He’s pigeonholed as a forward now

Stupidly though, he’s 25 years old, got plenty of games under his belt, has size and endurance. I’d back him to win more contests against DeGoey than JOM or Aish. Both of which will get smashed.
 
Love it, give him a job on someone. Last chance Roger Hayden style.

This has all the hallmarks of an absolute flogging.
There is a gulf in class between these sides that is exacerbated by Cox and Serong being unavailable.
If we can at least try clamp down on Daicos that would be something.
I expect a 50 point beating minimum in all honesty. A premiership feels a very very long way away right now
