Prediction Round 8: Changes Vs North Melbourne + pre-match discussion

[ilikepotatoes]

Love the defensive effort.

Man I love my seats behind the goals on level 5 for this very reason.

If Pearce still has a bit of a niggle with his ankle, then would be good to give him a rest vs North especially as their big fwd in Larkey may be in strife and rubbed out for the game with that tunnelling on Lewis Young last night.

Ins: Darcy, Young, Chapman
Out: Meek, Pearce, Walker

If also resting Mundy, bring in Ras

This - we should take the opportunity to get Erasmus into the side. Pearce must rest - maybe for a couple. Never the best kick, he had no trust in his foot yesterday.

Love the defensive effort.

Look how dead the crowd is after that build up

 

[Dirty_banchez]

It would be good to beat Geelong's 186 record this week.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Logue is undroppable. Sends a terrible message if he gets dropped and say oh you did great, but it’s for structure. Big reason why the team has won the last fortnight.

In: Young, Chapman, Darcy
Out: Tucker, Walker, Meek

Walker needs a WAFL run. Just to tidy up decision making and assertiveness.
Tucker. Yeah you can’t drop anyone else based on the last fortnight. It’s him.

The decision is made easier because Alex Pearce won’t play next week. So Griff stays right where he is.
Chapman comes in for Pearce.
Young for Brandon who takes the sub role.
Darcy is back for Meek.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I don’t want to count chickens but perhaps give Mundy a week off?

Very difficult selection week ahead

I think decisions like that will and should be made by Dave. Games at home he would want to be playing plus it’s only rd8.

He's already had a week off with covid too.

 

[Taylor]

A week barely sleeping worrying about his children and then a week barely sleeping with a stuffed up head

 

[Fred Ziffel]

After yesterday's win what crowd can we get on friday night.

Will it add another 3-4k fans to jump aboard the freo train atm and get to optus.

45k i reckon would be a pass mark. Quality of opponent may prevent it from getting to 50k.

Membership department will be busy this week.

 

[bone2468]

Definitely not. Treacy did some good things and kept us in the game with mark in the third. 1%'ers.

I love Treacy, but 4 touches and no goals in 102min outta 120 game time give the young fella a go even as 3rd tall if sturts still not ready

Membership department will be busy this week.

The membership department should have a questionnaire to weed out the Freagles.

1. What do you think of when I say Clive ?.

2. Who is the biggest nose in Perth ?.

3. Who wears a hat with lot’s of feathers ?.

He's already had a week off with covid too.

Misses 2 weeks and mundy admitted he was filthy watching it from the sidelines.

Mundy is qlso unbeaten this year 5 from 5.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Yeah give Pearce a rest. Despite some clangers he did end up playing a good game.

Tucker played well. He showed some steel in his 100th. Aish was dependable. Acres is now the God of football.

Walker out, Treacy out and Pearce rested.

Darcy, Chappy and Young in.

I have no idea

Only way Treacy is dropped is if Taberner is back.
No chance of Meek and Darcy both playing. Sucks for meek but it’s just the way it is unfortunately

 

[Tbonefreo]

Yeah I forgot about Meek

 

[CapitalA]

There is now way as long as my arse points to the ground that LOGUE GETS DROPPED

So does that mean you are permanently lying on your back or Logue should be dropped?

 

[CapitalA]

Could have sworn I saw Pearce limp after kicking a couple of times. I'd rest him, and I think Walker is probably the first small to get pushed out of the team.

Out: Meek, Pearce, Walker

In: Darcy, Chapman, Young

I think Walker stays in, unless we want to get destroyed by small forwards again. We had Young and Chapman in when Rachelle and Higgins tore us a new one.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Larkey is likely to be suspended. Could get really ugly for North.

 

[Serongadongdong]

If Mundy needs a rest I would be waiting for the Gold Coast game. Longest road trip of the season and he doesn't need anymore frequent flyers!

Sturt will come in as the sub.

 

[Spirit Level]

Sturt will come in as the sub.

Would only be happy with this if he can make up the minutes he doesn't play friday night at peel

 

[Taylor]

A perk of playing the early Saturday game in Victoria is the coaching group can watch three of the next opponents we play against and fly home Sunday night

 

[wakojako]

Meek (managed) > Darcy
Pearce (rested) > Chapman
Mundy (rested) > Erasmus

Young?

It would be a good idea to give Alex Pearce a weeks rest in my view. He looked a bit proppy out there today. Maybe his ankle is not fully recovered and with the 6 day break it would be a risk to play him if there was any doubt. Chapman, Young and Sean Darcy for Walker, Alex Pearce and Meek would be my changes or perhaps Walker stays in with Tucker going out and Aish to play more wing. Tucker was decent today though.

Absolutely, if you have Kayo have a look around the 9.08 minutes to go mark in the third quarter. Pearce was noticeably proppy after kicking down the line using his right foot. Given Fyfe described Optus ground surface earlier this year as still being 'very hard' I think giving Pearce the week off (managing) would be a wise thing to do given Larkey likely to be suspended. Freo have more than adequate coverage.
