What is FREO'S midfeild??

[Saintsation23]

Carr, Bell, Black, Hazelby, Schammer, Cook and Pavlich

Still have Mcmanus who is getting old,, but is still servicable. They are looking the goods.. Not to mention they now need a forward line that can function!!

 

[BB gun]

throw in Headland, M carr.
None of those player are exaclty in the same class as a player like Voss, but we do have a lot of good players.
Our forward line is a huge problem, hopefully Murphy and Mcpharlin can step up next year

 

[Saintsation23]

My god, it is possibly the best midfeild in the AFL on paper... West Coast also is not so bad. Stenglein, Cousins, Kerr, Judd, Braun, Fletcher and Gardiner....

 

[Cameron_K]

these are the players that will get a run through the midfield

Josh Carr
Mathew Carr
Byron Schammer
Paul Haselby
Mathew Pavlich
Peter Bell
Des Headland
Ryley Dunn
Luke Webster
Shaun McManus
Troy Cook
Heath Black

Don't mind it at all, Obviously with the addition of Josh Carr and Black it will allow Pavlich to move forward or back. I think alot will depend on what Connolly wants to do with McPharlin.

 

[Lajon]

Midfields DO NOT win premierships

It's much harder to build back and forward lines.

 

[Saintsation23]

Dunn, Webster and Mcmanus are nobody's. Will be bench players the whole year.

Dunn has talent....Could produce the goods

 

[BB gun]

Our backline is pretty solid to. Like WCE we need a key forward

 

[Cameron_K]

The games in which Webster has played he has been more than impressive. If it wasn't for the bad luck this kid has had he would have cemented his spot along time ago.

 

[HATS]

I think Freo will improve greatly next year with the additions of carr and black.
Very solid midfield now

3/4s of those guys could not hurt a fly. Why do u think they buckle under presure all the time??? well i will tell u know freo would be breathing a sigh of relief knowing they have got carr and black now....2 reasonably inside midfielders.... freo will never win a flag or go further then the 1st final untill they get some balls.... des headlands last year at brisbane was extrodinary BECAUSE he had simon black, voss, aker, shaun hart, lappin giving it to him... all those players are inside and outside mid fielders. des doesnt know the meaning of getting his own ball.... he has done nothing in consecutive games at freo because he doenst have the quality inside players like he did at brisbane.. all of freos players want to be fed the ball and recieve not dish off themselves.... if i was freo's recruiting manager, then i'd toughin up and look for some hot heads.... guys who can intimidate. after all its a contact sport.

 

[inferno66]

I dont think Pavlich will play in the midfield this year. I think he will play strictly as a KPP. I think Chris may want to settle Pavlich in the fowardline. Pavlich might rotate and play FF and CHF

 

[BB gun]

Pavlich will play in the midfield next year, his sholders won't be able to handle playing as a key forward

 

[marcy8811]

With the additions of Black and Carr, would that mean Headland could possibly play a role more similar to his last year at Brisbane?

 

[bLuEMoOsE]

Murphey will be a very good quality KPP in the next few years mark my words.

 

[sinepari]

i think freo got ripped for carr, especially the money they are paying. I dont think he solves their problems. The midfield is all to similar

Yeah FFS play him more as a KPP. IMO he is being wasted in the midfield.

U r kidding me are you not? 3 draft picks in a crappy draft...

I think u r jealous that Wet Toast got crappy Tyson Stenglein on $800,000 for 3 years & we ended up with Heath & J Carr.

Didn't realize Brendan Fevola could spell, let alone put entire sentences together.

Your players have got to have brains and skill as well Brendan.

haha since when was tyson stenglien crappy? Just makes our midfield that little bit more stronger. Bring on the derbies

Midfields DO NOT win premierships

It's much harder to build back and forward lines.

Who won Port's premiership this year... Burgoyne, James, Carr and Pickett or Treadrea, Wakelin and Thurstons?
Who won Brissy's last 3 premierships... Lappin, Black, Aker, Voss, Hart and Power or Brown, Lynch and Leppa?
Adelaide and WC in the 90s.
Even Carlton in the 95.
Midfields do win premierships if your forward line is above or about average and you have a decent defence. We're well on the way in defence, the forward line needs work, but a top midfield will help big time.

 

[newlander77]

Have Freo named their forward coach for 2005? Surely it wont be Malaxos in 2005?

 

[Saintsation23]

Stop the arguinf WA people... Freo will dominate the west next yr!!1

Sorry eagles

 

[CoastBhoy]

I think Freo will improve greatly next year with the additions of carr and black.
Very solid midfield now

I would,nt say Port has a gun backline or forwardline.

 

[Freo Shark]

Yea bring them on !! Your precious lil wall flower Benny wont turn up to play with Josh around.

Thats unless he borrows one of Kerr's pills.

 

[melbournemartin]

pavlich should be moved forward with the addition of black and carr

also if headland finds some form it will be great for them

i still reckon eagles and lions have the best midfield and the eagle's is a lot younger.
