Im not sure who will be back but Toumpas will miss and hopfully Watts is back so he can go forward and help Dawes. do we drop Nicholson or even Jordie.

Viney maybe ready to come back.

Also do we give Max a rest and play Fitzpatrick?

Just guess work at this stage but i'm going with

Out: Nicholson, Toumpas

in : Viney, watts

I think Watts should come back through Casey, he needs to earn and work for it.

Do we bring in Joel MacDonald for Nicho?

Bail, Toumpas, Nicholson and Gawn are the 4 who are on the edge.

I presume Viney, Byrnes and Watts will be fit for selection.

Taggert and Fitzpatrick some chance from Casey. I'm not convinced by Davis or anyone else.

For me:

Out: Bail - has been shocking

Toumpas - inj

In: Byrnes

Viney

I'd consider Watts (for nicholson or instead of Byrnes) and think about Taggert instead of Byrnes but I don't think he's quite ready.

Bail, Toumpas, Nicholson and Gawn are the 4 who are on the edge.

Gawn must stay in, Jamar looks ten times better with him in the side. He was quieter today but he is clearly our number two ruckman.

Not really a change - but backing up the effort from this week would be nice

Big maxie should stay

Gawn must stay in, Jamar looks ten times better with him in the side. He was quieter today but he is clearly our number two ruckman.

His defensive efforts in the ruck were the reason Id consider dropping him. He let Vickery get goal side twice as let Smith do it last week.

I have little faith in Pedersen or Fitzy which is why I didn't drop him but if Gawn isn't on the list of potentials to have a run in the 2's then we are struggling

Viney is out 4-6 weeks. He just put it on twitter when someone asked him will he play next week. The rehab room has more talent than the team playing on the field.

I hate injuries

I don't really know enough about Casey's form to know who is pushing for selection.

In terms of outs from the MFC side, Toumpas seems likely, whilst any of Bail, Strauss, Nicholson, McKenzie or Dunn warrant being dropped (in that order, too). But I don't know who is able to come in for them.

You're kidding, poor fella :/

really hate how we never get told the truth about these injuries from the start.

Freo have few talls, so we can stretch them with Dawes and Gawn forward. Toump will come out with injury. Jordie was the worst butterfingers I've seen in ages. At least 5 times a clean possession and we were away. Fumbles and it went the other way. So OUT

Watts in, ?? For jordie. We probably need legs to run Subi.

Overall, the effort was there, but we had patches of poor skill particularly in the spread, and hitting targets to advantage. Gotta get better in this to take any points this year

Poor game for Casey yesterday, really not anyone pushing for selection. Maybe Blease for Subi but the tank will be exposed. Pederson had an ok 2nd half but we don't really need another tall.

I would like to see Taggert come up at some stage to give him a taste but he needs to do a bit more to earn a call up.

You think the best CHB in the league mcpharlin is scared of Dawes or an experienced full back like Dawson is scared of Gawn?

@jackviney7 has posted very little over the past few hours, just 'get behind the boys' stuff. Not sure what twitter you are talking about.

Didn't you say that last week?

I assumed you were joking are you joking now? - SERIOUSLY

That must be one mighty sore toe then?

Outs: Nicho or Bail (probably can't be both so Nicho) Toumpas (injured and form), Trengove (if we have someone to bring in)

Ins: Blease, Byrnes, Viney (in not injured)

Can not bring Watts straight back in - he was on the edge of being dropped before he got injured. I hope Neeld tries to make as few changes as possible - we finally put in a 3-4 quarter effort. Have had a large number of changes each week so far! I would have definatly droped Trengove if he had not shown a little in the last quarter but if he is going to stay in he needs to play in the midfield - he is useless everywhere else. Both Blease and Byrnes to provide some midfield strength. So probably 2 changes which would show Neeld has faith in the team he fielded last week.

Yep. No sign of that tweet on his account. Bogus rumor-mongering?

If anyone watched Freo's game last night, our backs will have it all over their forwards. I think Walters is out injured, so as long as Garland can do a job on Ballantyne we should be good...until the inevitable avalanche of ball comes in courtesy of their star-studded midfield.

EDIT: Turns out I missed it and the rumour is true. Viney out for 4-6 with a toe? Man that sucks!

OUT: Nicholson, McKenzie, Toumpas (inj)

IN: Watts, Byrnes, Blease (doesn't really deserve it, but how about making him play as a tagger for a game?)
