Yeah but who's the sub?

Guess that joke went over your head, old boy
Sheed & Subston
From last Derby
Fair to expect that the boys should make Freo earn it on Saturday with these in's, no Gaff and a fit Yeo and McGovern.

Last derby when I found out we had two out with illness I loaded Freo 90+. If two blokes are crook then actually 10 of them might be. Although that certainly wouldn't have been needed for such a poor performance, considering in the 2 weeks prior we rolled Roos (not hard) and lost to Essendon by one dodgy ball up, then the 2 weeks after rolled Dogs and were up at half time v Crows it wouldn't shock me. The game v Freo was a big anomaly in that group of 5.
So it was a profitable night for me, and hopefully we are fit and firing this weekend to make it competitive.

Hate to wish injury on anyone(obviously) but surely with that beer gut, and history of knee issues, this bloke will be lucky to last 5 minutes...
Leave poor Hodor alone.
As long as our mids are proactive.Don’t stand still and hope to tackle after they get the ball.AKA another version of corralling!
Reid will pick the pathways earlier than most but I guarantee he will be throttled by the freo mids. I predict Serong will be the bully boy coz that’s his thing.
If they try it I would send him the opposite way. Mark Serong!
Reid will get some quality touches regardless.
Let’s hope we’ve got our “ go short,go low or go long, go low” plan in order.

The only 2 i'd want back in if fit were Hewett and Allen.

I think you're forgetting that 'Beer-gut McGov' is peak Gov - for some it's a super power.
I think Darcy has the same 'let's get on it' Macca power.
"Now I also remember games when fit where Sheed does run both ways and yes, even lays tackles, multiple tackles."
Sheeds last quarter of the 2018 GF was huge in every regard (inc multiple 1%s).
Just mind boggling how much that mind set evaporated post 2018 with injury and a lack of desire.
May well be Sheeds last opportunity, stand up or prepare to be a WAFL player who gets a run only when injuries demand it.

My comment was nothing to do with Sheed. It could have been anyone but I thought we had moved past playing players not match fit. Simmo made it seem like Sheed wasn't ready for a full game and I don't like the idea of the sub not a 100% ready. One early injury could cascade.

Ok, my comment wasn't in reference to your comment? It was just a general observation.
I'm curious to see how Sheed plays, but am trying not to write off players before they even play a game. Comparing players/teams/coaches performances to last year is difficult due to struggling to put a team on the field and forced to use players underdone or playing through injury.
Sheed I think had a foot injury and played - might explain his lack of chase etc.
Anyway, just think it's fair to give a player getting their 1st game of the season, the benefit of the doubt, whether sub or not? ((; (and the coach perhaps, some people haven't let go of last season, we've moved on)

I like that we haven't announced the sub yet. Makes the Dockers unable to formulate a gameplan at all until the last minute.
The Dom becomes the Sub.
