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

[Dayts]

Had a troll on North board. They are resigned to a flogging.
They don’t have talls in forward line and we’re going to have ample to pick from.

Our line up will be interesting.

Yeh looking tough. No Corr again this week, and Larkey is going to get a week. They’re in all sorts

 

[Freomaniac]

He has literally played 10 good mins of AFL and our fans think he is the next Gunston or Fritsch. He needs 6-7 games in a row at WAFL and some bad form or injuries to one of the forwards. He won’t be squeezed in to the team especially with the other big names ahead of him.

Injuries have hurt his career too. But saying that, Sam Sturt needs 2-4 solid WAFL games to be a chance to get in the Dockers squad.

It's more about Sturt having a fit body if anything.

But looking at freos forward line. It has been solid.

I have said many times. Freo are a medium scoring side. Kicking 11-14 goals a game to win certain games.

Yeah Freo kicked 10.9.69 to narrowly beat the cats. Could of been 11.8.74 or 12.7.79. but you get the idea

 

[Deathly]

Mundy has already missed games this season. Not sure he would want to or needs to be rested again in what could be his last season of playing.

We gave up our highest score from turnover this season, to nobody's surprise after those shocking mistakes in defence

How many more times do you recon you'll mention that Freo are a medium scoring side?

Do you think they have the capability to improve to a high scoring side?

A fair bit

Unlikely.....

No chance if Freo want to reach the high scoring of the Hawks 2011-15 side.

Or the crows 2016-7 team.

Not within the next 2 seasons without having one of Sturt, Treacy or Amiss breakout or recruiting a ready made forward.

So Larkey offered a 1 match suspension for his tunnelling...good result if we did want to rest Pearce

Mundy has already missed games this season. Not sure he would want to or needs to be rested again in what could be his last season of playing.

Maybe if he keeps doing what he is atm across the season.

No reason he cant go around again.

He has been hanging around in the long rebuild. I dont think he would be that keen to jump ship straight away with success possibly around the corner.

It is becoming well known that you have mentioned it. And of course, you are correct.

Just a wait and see week. They appeal it and lose, rest Alex. Appeal and win, name him. Be good for him to have 15-16 days off though

 

[Outshined]

Think it's pretty clear our offensive capabilities are trending upwards and will only continue to do so as players like Treacy and Amiss develop.

6-1 really belies the fact that this team is not a finished product.

It was a pretty dog act, very dangerous & I don’t care if we’re playing them or not, the 1 week must stand.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

No link, but Nine are reporting Lobb (and potentially others) to be hit by Covid protocols.

You’d think that’d bring Sturt or Amiss into play if Tabs isn’t fit.

That's not very fun

More likely to play Darcy and Meek if Lobb is out, keep Treacy in.

meek may live a week then, though sturt/amiss is the more fun solution

 

[Van_Dyke]

 

[BStaff17]

2 or 3 players per week for H&S protocls is fine. The trickle is better then the alternative of WC went through.

How many have had it already
Mundy
Cox
Blakely
Schultz
Chapman
Young

 

[Dockeroo]

Lobb confirmed out, and one or two more apparently too

 

[greatgatsby]

Yeah, reckon we play two rucks - it's not like Lloyd doesn't deserve another game giving Darcy a chop out.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Hope they actually catch it - not just the annoying close contact

Gives the chance to miss more games later in the season
