Preview Round 8 - Richmond vs Fremantle (MCG, 1.10pm, Sun 14 May)

[Lsta062]

Good move for Lloyd to be included IMO. He can kick goals and laid 9 tackles from a defensive perspective.

This may mean that Edwards doesn't play though.

 

[guruisatiger]

That makes him about average. The umps have been smashing us all year!

John Edward will be back next week

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

Surely that means Lloyd is in otherwise why would you bother if he is going to miss the cut.

But then again if he was going to come in, would he not have been in the original squad?

If the VFL team is to be believed:

The changes are:
IN: Lennon, Nankervis
Out: Soldo, Vlastuin

 

[Lsta062]

I know 4 changes are usually a lot, but I'll go with

IN: Lloyd, Edwards/Lennon, Nankervis
OUT: Castagna, Vlastuin, Soldo

I want Batchelor to come into the side, but I don't know who would go out for him.

 

[tunksy]

No good if he offers nothing defensively though, whilst i havent watched any VFL games id imagine as soon as he starts showing the same defensive intensity the others do he start to be considered for the League team

he had 11 tackles in the vfl last game.

soldo nor elton named in the VFL team. so assuming one will get dropped but wont play VFL?

 

[Wacky Tiger]

he had 11 tackles in the vfl last game.

So hes second to the ball a lot then

 

[cairo tiger]

how do you get to post?

What do you like about Batchelor coming in? What do you think he brings that we are lacking?

 

[cairo tiger]

Ellis has had a solid year. Very good in our first few games and solid more recently.

Caddy hasn't set the world on fire but isn't playing at levels where we should drop him. We're also playing him out of position with a lot of time up forward.

Ive been wanting Castagna to spend some time in the two's for a while, even when playing well his disposal has been poor. Needs to take some time to work on it. I think he is keeping his spot and he, Butler and Rioli are so vital to our speedy, pressuring forward line, but the time has come to get someone else in.

ellis is a wide receiver. all he does is accumulate nothing possessions. doesnt hurt teams. wimp.

caddy- what is his position? it aint on the ball- he has a turning circle of a mac truck and it aint forward he is slow as butter.

Castanga. kicked four once but needs to have a spell.

Soldo has to be injured/sick to have already been taken out of the 25 man squad, hence doesn't play VFL.

 

[prodigy]

Lloyd will be an emergency. Lennon will come in for Soldo.

Only because we have lost Vlastuin and Conca from our backline. I don't know who goes back to replace them in the backline, but it will be interesting to see what happens if Batchelor doesn't come in.

Yep Umps love WC, Freo does not have that love.

When Freo played WC it was 7-1 in the 1qtr 7-2 in the 2qtr. 14-3 free kicks WC way in half of footy. And it's where they get them that really hurts.

I expect Richmond to win the Free kick count, only because of home ground advantage. Not from cheating umpires.

Hoping for a good match Sun.

Freo are only 127 129 -2
Fair year except WC match, maybe ESS a little hard done by last week.

But I expect you to win because you got hard done by last week and the media noticed, so I expect the umps to be on your side to even the score and AFL doesn't give a toss about Freo.

Freo understand your pain. Check out our Umpire topic on the Freo board.

Freo are -16 for away games. Lost the count on all three away games.
