Preview Round 8 v Fremantle Sunday May 5th 1pm MCG

[Downtown06]

Can't see Balta & Short getting up for this one.

Happy to be proven wrong come selection day.

I cant see Prestia coming up myself, Balta said last week he was aiming for Freo but more Bulldogs game.

Happy to be proven wrong also.

The season is all but over, its now time to get the kids as much exposure as possible without sending them to slaughter.

That might mean moving players like Grimes forward as we have no talls available. You are a club legend, go kick some snags and enjoy your last games of footy.

Sonsie, you are playing mid rest of year, show us what you got.

McCauliffe, mid / fwd until he needs a rest

Picket and Macca can be the subs

Ryan, you are FF now until further notice, get a kick, have some fun

Going to have to get up super early! 1pm start, going to be a shock to the system after so many 3/4pm matches.

We've played two games in like 20+ days. If anyone needs to be managed I have severe concerns with our fitness regime.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

our run will start now that we have a key forward back (balta)

I cant see use loosing another game this year

insert big sexy in 6 weeks and we will destroy all comers

That's the spirit Groupie !! I'm with you despite my optimism. I'll be fronting up on Sunday again to cheer on the boys. Freo generally find it hard to score so.................

 

[Rubber Hips]

Alright but don't go nuts.

Balta, Short & Prestia!!

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Lsta062]

Fremantle lose stupid games (e.g. 93-29 at 3-quarter-time against West Coast at home), so I won't rule us out of this game especially considering it's at the MCG. Balta would be a nice in, but I don't want the same thing as Hopper to happen

 

[tiger_tough]

Trezise and Short listed as test.

Trezise should come in for Grimes, but he won't.

 

[tiger_tough]

Yze couldn't manage a single vote for any of our players

Trezise and Short listed as test.

Trezise should come in for Grimes, but he won't.

test means 6 weeks away for louie

 

[tiger_tough]

test means 6 weeks away for louie

I thought it meant rush em back a couple weeks early?

 

[Groupie_]

no balta

how we gonna kick goals?

do we bring kozi in ?

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

I'm hearing some juicy ins this week but I'm too scared to mention them cause 1 of them is left field!!!

Royce Hart?

Still a Demon at heart.

thought presita retired

 

[_RT_]

With Balta being listed as 1 more week I've updated the predicted selected side.

Predicted Line Up
Out - Hopper (inj) Naismith McIntosh Campbell
In - Sonsie McAuliffe Short Ryan

B: Miller Grimes Young
HB: D.Rioli Vlastuin Short
C: Ralphsmith Dow Banks
HF: M.Rioli Mansell Bolton
F: Ryan Martin Lefau
R: Nankervis Pickett Baker
INT: Broad Brown Graham Sonsie
SUB: McAuliffe

Tempted to swap Graham and McAuliffe, but I don't want to throw Dow Sonsie & McAuliffe to the wolves against a dominant Fremantle midfield unit

Personally, I'd love to see this. We'd get a full game, proper look at how their chemistry evolves.
Yes, we'd likely lose the midfield battle, but we'd learn a hell of a lot about what the next wave of midfielders have got to offer.

Hard to argue with any of that.
