Prediction Semi Final: Changes Vs Collingwood (We survived to round 2!)

[Steinfreo]

Lol ... Simply cannot believe there are people on here suggesting or advocating Chapman "out". Were you not watching the game last night?

27 disposals, 26 of them effective. Ever seen Logue produce those numbers?

Although I agree bonts gave him a bath in the first half.

I think Bonts might have given anyone a bath in the first half, esp the way Freo were playing.

In fairness Chapman had a nightmare first half but really lifted in the second.
What about all the hype about Sam Darcy?
Barely noticed him apart from the cheap goal on the line against Chapman

 

[s_wd6]

Chapman had a shocker in the first half. So many costly errors. But to his credit he didn't let that effect him and worked into the game really well and definitely redeemed himself in the second half.

 

[FreoRicci]

If NOD Is sore, Tucker is the first one off the block.
Can’t play Henry. No chance. He’s too lightweight for finals atm

 

[FreoRicci]

Chapman did have a bit of a stinker, caught out by the pace

Amiss to stay, but if tabs plays well… not sure

The GPS numbers today will form the decision, not sentiment

You can say all 22 bar maybe Darcy, Brayshaw and Serong had stinkers up to that point.
Young and Chapman just went into GOAT mode in the third quarter and then late in the fourth. That’s finals building experience right there.

Did anyone else just get a text from the club addressed to another member and including their barcode to buy a ticket for the semi???

but I just watched his presser and first of all he had a go at a few players laying on the ground after the siren and acting like “losers”, then when answering a question about De Goey’s injured shoulder started complaining about the umpires.

Nah. Let’s smash them.

I did, then they sent another one to disregard the first

Yep, then a please disregard. Similar thing happened a couple weeks ago re mail out from memory.

How many Freo fans would be expected to be travelling over next week for the game.

I loved Amiss game last night. Should have had 3 goals which is rediculously good considering how low scoring of a team we are. He has much better goal sense then Logue.

But do people realise logue and Amiss play different roles? Amiss plays as close to goal as possible at all times, where as Logue plays as our roaming CHF. Amiss scoring more goals then Logue is always going to happen.

This means it's either:
Logue CHF and Amiss FF
Or
Taberner CHF and Amiss FF
Or
Logue CHF and Taberner FF

Logue also offers us flexibility of moving back if needed. The last thing I want is Taberner floating around in midfield slowing things down and making silly mistakes.

Unfortunately for this game I really think we are better off having the structure of Taberner up forward. I know people aren't going to like it but if Tabs has a big game today I do think Amiss should come out for him. Ok hate on me now

Tempting..
15,000 would be my guess

Taberner, Logue, Lobb is a team of CHFs. It’s not the worst idea, but it probably means Frederick has to play out of the goal square.

I think Taberner is much better closer to goal.

Obviously all the positions are fluid but yeah I like Tabs where he either marks it and has a shot or brings it down for the smalls. I don't really like him floating around in midfield, he doesn't have the best footy brain and those mistakes are too costly. A get out of jail mark down the line by tabbs is always welcome though.

 

[Sweetback]

We have a terrible habit of not bringing the pressure game early or not matching the opposition’s. We got away with it with the dogs but we won’t with the pies.

 

[muckypup]

I’m rewatching.

Down 42-3 with 5 mins left in second term and ball in D50. Then we mount our charge.

Phenomenal.

You can feel it change a bit before then but wow, watching it on TV and realising there is only 5 mins playing time left in the half when we score our first goal WTF.

 

[muckypup]

Suspect O'Driscoll may be an issue. Obviously the ankle was fine but he grabbed the hammy which was already strapped with about 4 minutes to go.

Tabs in if fit, Logue back and may have to push Chappy to the wing.

If no injuries then Logue out for Tabs. Just never looked like kicking a goal and required a technical 50 to do so.

NOd is too important to our future to cripple him by dosing him up on painkillers and getting him to play. Not sure if it was the same ankle / foot from his layoff?

 

[Cobbler]

100% it had changed for 15 mins prior but the fact was we didn’t hit the scoreboard and you’d just assume Dogs would kick more.

It was 72-18 from when they kicked 6th goal. We kept them to 18 points for nearly 3 quarters!

 

[DeanS]

Can’t believe people are suggesting Chapman out and Amiss out! These guys are the future of our club and some want to deprive them of the valuable experience of playing a pressure final at the MCG. Mind- blowing!

 

[Farmerwantsawife]

The continued calls for a quick tabs return is laughable. JL's presser covered this off stating "We were looking for a forward who presents straight at the ballcarrier" This is exactly what Amiss brought to the side and exactly what Tabs doesn't do.

We are better without him and our forward line synergy and leading patterns will only improve.

NO CHANGES

 

[Taylor]

It isn't popular but Logue is the one who would come out for Taberner and that would only happen if Taberner absolutely dominates for Peel today.
