Yeh I noticed that, pretty sure Rachelles match up was Chapman.
Lockdown on small forwards typically has been Logue.
Some lessons for Chappo , but assume his first job was rebound, rather than lock down, with rebound where appropriate.
Back line is a work in process as is the Mid as is the FWD component of the team
Still a bit of work to do from my view!

Saints are $2.75 to win. I just threw $50 at it. $137.50 return.
Yep..... If you learnt about my ways of dealing with teams i hate, i put money on them so i win either way.
Freo win i lose $50. Freo lose i get $137.50.
Half tempted to throw another $50 on it.
Saying that i rather lose $50 or $100 and see freo win.

Fremantle vs. St Kilda, Optus Stadium, 6:20pm (AEST)
Team news: The Dockers should welcome back skipper Nat Fyfe. The 2015 Brownlow Medal winner missed Round 1 with a shoulder injury. The club has earmarked Round 3 for Matt Taberner's (hamstring) first game. Both Nathan Wilson (shoulder) and Matthew Johnson (foot) will undergo fitness tests. For the Saints, Paddy Ryder, Jack Billings, Jarryn Geary and Dan Hannebery are all set to undergo fitness tests of their own.
ESPN tip: Dockers by 11 points.
Wow, ESPN's chief writers must live in an alternate dimension, where Matthew Johnson didn't just recently undergo surgery on his foot! Hahahaha

"Clark said he preferred to play across half-back but was also open to a wing role and Fremantle have identified a need for speed in both positions."

Our goal is long term success which requires us to develop playeds accordingly. I don't see us being a flag threat until all three of our draftees are best 22. I'm all for cutting deadweight.
Yeah. More of a concept team than my actual thoughts.

To be fair, he didn’t say Johnson was likely to pass his fitness test.

Been keeping a close eye on Walters while watching the replay. The stats don't show the impact he had. First quarter, he was directly responsible for two goals: one from a sublime, pinpoint kick inside 50 to a Lobb lead; the second from a tackle that allowed Schultz to pounce on the spilled ball and goal. Second quarter, he fared less well against the basic indicators, but there were a number of occasions where he contested the ball and "went to ground" or came up empty handed, but in the course of doing so pushed the ball to the clear advantage of a teammate or drawn two (three on at least one occasion) opposition players, leaving unopposed Freo players to go on the offensive. Excellent crumb off marking contest with quick-fire handball to Mundy for a high kick to space at the top of the square, perfect for Treacy but unfortunately spoiled by Banfield who had his own eyes on the prize. Did give away a free when he smacked his mouth against a Crow head as he threw himself into a pack.
Am only up to half-time so far. I personally think "passenger" is way harsh. He's in it much more than the headline stats suggest. If there were a stat for possession-assist or halving a contest to advantage, so to speak three-quartering a contest?), he'd rate pretty highly, I reckon.

O'Driscoll and Walker are draftees too. I'm not suggesting don't develop draftees. I feel as confident in those two equalling the production we have been getting out of Henry.
The Club's stated goal is success in the next couple of seasons. And if they don't have a plan to play finals while Fyfe is still viable they have stuffed up.
I agree that how things work.
Bad thinking for me.
Each player should be look at in an individual performance and contribution to team structure.
If we win by one point or lose by one point, there isn’t much difference in performance.
I wish Walters play like Duffy in the girls team.
In contest situation she keeps her feet, tries to push the other player off the ball and waits for the opponent to fumble the ball.
Instead Walters tries to milk a free, goes to ground and the opposition get the ball.

He broke a bone, they decided not to go for surgery, it was always going to be a slow recovery but probably didn’t want him to have a plate in his foot before he has played a single game
Will be interesting to see how Benning goes, Seems very important due to his height and skill set.
For all the Lobb concerns without him we look too small.
Same for Pearce, we really lack key position depth.
Interesting that both Bazzo, Williams with the so called WC injury crisis, Dixon is the one playing.
Patience is the key. but I'd suggest its not 3 but 5.
Huddo and Paps are good. Pavlich is terrible commentating.
Loved him as a player, absolutely hate him in the media.
They did surgery in the end. Waited a few weeks initially and with minimal recovery pushed ahead with surgery.
Dockers draftee set to undergo surgery
One of Fremantle’s 2021 draftees has suffered a pre-season setback which is set to sideline him for up to eight weeks.

Out of curiosity where has the idea of Walker as a lock-down defender come from?
I haven't personally noticed him play this role, more the dashing half back.
A lot of signs of promise, but he hasn't been nearly involved as Wilson on average from the games I've seen.
Not sure if you can have a player like Hamling unable to get a game as well as Cox a capable forward and Logue and Chapman playing on smalls and still be claiming we lack substantial key position depth. We lack flexibility in how we use them.
Cox forward
Hamling to defence
Chapman wing
Walker to defence
He's not so bad. Reckon he often says insightful interesting things. Just struggles to articulate himself quickly. Think he's getting better at it.
