Changes vs Freo

[brendan 3,437]

Yep only 1 change needed

gawn out spencer in

goody said he was happy with the forward line they still had 32 shots so that's something, spencer now has 4-5 weeks to prove himself at AFL Level and seeing he is a free agent this year could be the difference in some clubs chasing him or not so I expect him to give everything he has, we need watts forward he could have been the difference yesterday if he was able to stay forward 

[brendan 3,437]

Stretch will get hill he destroyed him last year against the hawks 

[_becks_ 35]

We needed a big body Key Back to help out T. mcDonald. O Mcdonald is not the answer - he might be at some stage, but not at the moment. If Frost is fit, play him.  

Spencer in for Gawn

Unless pedo has played well at Casey to replace either of T. Smith or Weidemen, i think that will be all the changes.

So just been reported that Bernie Vince could potentially miss a week with a toe injury.

FMD we just can't get a clear run so far this year after coming off a year with barely any injuries

[Swooper Northey 494]

Was just watching Game Day and saw Kent listed as having a hamstring injury. Has anyone heard any more on that?

You sure you didn't misread that as Gawn?

The listed injuries for the game are- Gawn (right hamstring), Kent (cut head)

[Swooper Northey 494]

Good call. That's most likely what I saw. Thanks for clarifying.

Hmm apparently it was a cut that required stitches. Isn't a break or anything so might be okay to go if he has a light training week and it heals.

that's a big blow if vince is gone with an injury. 

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Goodwin is following the system methodology, similar to the dogs. This is where you have 22 roles in the system and you replace an injured/out of form person with someone who can play that role. 

So on that mantra, Spencer will come in for Gawn.

His next decision is to rest hannan and find someone to fill that gap. Maybe it's Brayshaw again, or maybe it's time for Bugg.

Our depth is truly being tested at the moment.

How far off is Michael hibberd?

I thought Neal Bullen poor today and that chip back into the square dropable alone!!

Harmes also not the answer. Stick with Hannan and Weeds

Bring in Spencil, Frost, Kennedy and Bugg

Very high expectations PF, for such young players.

Although I agree the errors are annoying both Harmes and NB pressure around the ball and contests have been great. Both still young in age and experience. I would persist with them.

Our biggest weakness next week is our Forwards line lacks experience. Pederson (if fit) would be a big consideration I'd reckon.

That's a really good question 'Abe'.

I think he is crucial to our long term prospects, adds steel, experience and foot skills to our defence.

He will be a big plus.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Hopefully Vince is ok to play.

[What 18,810]

In - Spencer, Pedersen

Out - Gawn (inj), Weideman

Vince lost his toenail in the first half, and played out the game. Apparently had a minor surgery on it after the game and MFC are hopeful he will be fine for the freo game.

Vince is tough. He knows we need him at the moment, so I back him to play through the pain if it's not 100%.

Would be very handy this weekend if he is around the mark! Especially if Vince doesn't come up

How the hell do you lose your toenail, was he playing without boots lol

Got stomped on.

Surgery? Did they reattach his nail?

Their midfield is problematic, Fyfe played well and S. Hill is a jet, would send Viney to run with Fyfe for the day. If Spencil can break even in the ruck I think we have better quality and depth than the Dockers.  

This.....  We had better depth than Geelong and with a ruckman for the second half I think it would have been different...    Only one change for me

[Maldonboy38 6,405]

Freo were very hard at the contest, and we have to match that at the least.

Some of Sandilands ruckwork was breathtaking in its simplicity but enabled Munday, Fyfe etc... first touch, who were able to supply a give-and-go for Hill and Walters who are quick. So, we have to counter Sandilands and I reckon Spencer is aggressive enough to make it difficult. I am not sure we have someone of the size and strength to match Fyfe but we matchup well on all the other midfielders. 

Player-by-player we are a better team with a greater spread of talent, but Freo gave the Dogies no space and will be champing at the bit to do it again to us. 

At the moment I would only be bringing in Spencer for Gawn, but our forward line might need some extra help, so wouldn't be surprised if Hannan gets a rest.

You do realise that OMac and Frost are same weight, I asked, maybe you mean slightly more mature? or maybe you have no idea

Have you got any changes of your own to contribute, or are you sticking with your usual fare of critcising others?  At least he put his opinion forward without feeling the need to sink the boots into someone else by saying they have 'no idea'.
