MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 22

[Adam The God 30,602]

spencer will be there next year will be needed as a back up at least.It takes time for the big guys to mature and he will improve next year

He improved this year too. He was brilliant against the Dogs adn Cats earlier in the season.

[Pates 9,667]

They're all being given their last run before being shown the door.

I don't know if Grimes is contracted for next year but I reckon he'll be given another run around. He's been serviceable in recent weeks without setting the world on fire.

I really hope there's another good cull this off season of NQRs, hoping for an aggressive trade period as well.

On this match, I just want the non-negotiable's. Tackling, effort, not giving up, hard running etc. All things we haven't seen in the last couple of weeks, I really thought we were past the point of "just wanting an effort", but here we are again. What I would really love to see is us tackling them to hurt, basically what we were doing earlier in the year. They've got to consider finals in a few weeks so start hitting them hard and they might go into self-preservation mode.

(Is that positive enough?)

[Hulkamania Brother 52]

I have the same feeling as before the Geelong and Collingwood games (WHICH WE WON). Whenever theres been this much criticism of us this year we've actually played well, hence why I think we'll win. Another record to fall!

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

I'm genuinely worried this will be a 150+ point loss.

Freo aren't a Geelong or Collingwood.

They will simply be too good.

We're fooked.

For Jonesy's sake I really hope it isn't

[picket fence 17,963]

Riley to play tomorrow, my soothsayer believes it to be so!

[Cards13 9,117]

Good, go ape chit Pigdog.

Only on D'land !

Get it right Ethan - the word is [censored]

Riley to play tomorrow, my soothsayer believes it to be so!

The same Riley who in four games this year has a total of 36 possessions, 5 tackles and 7 clearances?

Yep, that'll make a difference.

Hes a spud. Can only tackle and thats it.

Exactly like Jordie Mckenzie.

You wouldn't perhaps be baiting someone?

[dazzledavey36 55,853]

Not at all. Seriously he is a tackler and thats it. Doesn't have pace, disposal is pretty average, and doesn't have the tank to play full time midfielder. When he gets picked he plays up forward because cannot simply cannot run a game out. Unfortunately that would probably be due to his leg injury but he will be gone at years end.

Good Casey player though. Its a pity because he was one player i really wanted to make it. Was happy when we picked him up but he has done SFA.

Couldn't agree more, McKenzie clone, has the guts and the hardness but bugger all else.

[Adam The God 30,602]

We're a sneaky chance tomorrow. I can't believe I said that.

[jnrmac 20,271]

Thought it odd that OMac has been told he will play back (interview on MFC website) but is selected in forward pocket. The old red herring tactic...

Yep. That'll scare 'em.

[jnrmac 20,271]

Ha ha We have NEVER beaten a Ross Lyon coached side.

We are a better chance to be 8 goals to 1 down like the last 3 weeks running. Roos has 'em really fired up this week. I am sure they'll come out and play like maniacs. If only those damned supporters wouldn't be so negative...

Adam can I have some of whatever you took before saying that

Haha, yeah, was dreaming. Hopeless.
