Unofficial Preview Teams Announced - NAB Challenge West Coast Versus Fremantle 18/2/14

[mike91]

Has there been any news on the final 26 players ?

Think they announce it a few hours, or maybe even less before the game.

 

[mike91]

Anyone know what the weather will be?

 

[Wigarus]

Anyone know what the weather will be?

Probably around 30, 32 degrees.

 

[mike91]

Probably around 30, 32 degrees.

Feel for the lads.

 

[Stazzaz]

now that will be interesting ... sumich vs simpson

Yeah, but Ross is still in the box.

 

[Seppo]

Yeah, but Ross is still in the box.

I wonder how much involvement or feedback he will be giving Suma while in there.

Suma: "I'm putting Johnson in the forward line"

Ross: "Your quite brilliant Peter"

 

[Taylor]

Do you think that means our forward line will be the primary focus of this match as opposed to the NAB Cup game prior where our defence was under siege by design?

When you think about i hope it is based of our main focus stated at the end of last year. We need to improve in our attacking game plan.

We have the players available to put a pretty potent forward line on the park now and I can imagine Suma trying out 2-3 combinations of who plays up there.

Would be better to test it out against the Eagles defence than the Bulldogs the week after.

Maybe we will have a refined team for that game and can practise the interchange cap and get the rotations from HB-Mid-HF's together.

Man I'm getting goosebumps !! I'm so excited to see what they have done with our forward structures. RTB stated many times last year that it was an issue. So guaranteed they would have worked hard off season.

I hope they don't hold back

I wouldn't mind seeing the boys play an all out attacking style of play today. Freo have the cattle up forward now to try this and there is no reason for them to hold back.

Hot diggity I'd love to see some higher scores this season. Really put the scare into any sides that play Freo. Sure they might get a goal or two more than last season but when Freo kick 5 more it's worth it

Agree. Does Suma look after the forwards ?? This may be another reason why he is in charge tonight. Try some attacking strategies

opposition supporters will still trot out the "Boring Ross Lyon Football" catch phrase no doubt.

 

[freo84]

Yeah he is the forward coach so it's no surprise that he will be running things today.

It's all I hear from other supporters so I'm sure you get it as well, especially being in Melbourne.

I hate those "Boring Premierships"

 

[slicedndiced]

Start time for the game please chaps?

 

[E Shed]

Still no refining of the squad I see. Really hope some of the younger mob make the cut.
Getting excited now!

 

[E Shed]

Start time for the game please chaps?

[Seppo]

Many thanks. I shall partake in one of the very few free services that Demetriou offers supporters today.

Suggest you try watch some replays first to test it out. NAB cup didn't work for me last year until the season start. support is in London, so don't expect prompt reply due to the time difference

All good my end with a replay. A little jerky at times, but that is probably more to do with the malnourished chickens powering the Vietnamese server.

 

[Purple Maverick]

So we assume if when suma coaches the side we will be more attacking, what will it be like if Kirk or Genuis have a crack at coaching the team?

 

[Simmofreo]

They play kick to kick
