TEAMS: Rd 20 vs Fremantle

[Demonland 66,813]

[Mickey 4,239]

Interesting Hunt comes in. We have 8 defenders, unless Gus or Riv move in to the midfield rotation

[Ham 741]

Brayshaw getting those midfield minutes he has wanted... ;-)

[Ben 220]

I suppose take it with a grain of salt, but Salem named on the half forward flank is interesting. A good team selected for a day of 10-20mm rain earlier in the day. You'd think Chandler would get the sub.

[Demon_spurs 1,722]

Hoping Chandler gets the Med Sub position, just hope we don't get to use him

 

[Winter Dan 425]

Hunt in to cover one of their 4 quicks is a good move.  

[John Demonic 4,970]

Gus to the wing?

[Bates Mate 4,048]

Kozzie at CHF , anb on the HBF.

They are taking the [censored]

Maybe we could do a phantom Bulldog injury and get Chandler on in the 4th Quarter

[Ollie fan 2,336]

Gee, Tomlinson is stiff.

Goody tends to not bother too much with positions on the team announcement, so wouldn't think it would happen.

Hope so! But as above...

Harmes’ concussion was broken by Demonland was it not? This place is the sauce.

[adonski 9,402]

Explains a few of Harmes' decisions last week

Does this mean we finally see Gus back in the guts :O

Yeah, he had rigor mortis on Jamarra in the last quarter.

[Jibroni 4,320]

Hopefully Weed can play 4 quarters this time, really needs to play a big one without a 2nd big forward.

Yes Gus either on the wing or include in the midfield/Centre rotations 

[Diamond_Jim 12,095]

Melksham is a lucky cat.

Chandler... unlucky again

Well, Petty did actually.

[titan_uranus 23,117]

JVR an emergency. Getting closer now.

Chandler could well be the sub, which I don't think is a very good option. A small forward offers very little if a tall, defender or mid go down. Given we already have Spargo, ANB, Pickett and Melksham in the starting 22, unless he's subbed on for one of them we just get so out of what. At the very least, Dunstan as a midfielder can slot into the middle and push, say, Petracca forward (if the injured player is a forward) or Brayshaw/Hunt back (assuming one of them is playing midfield).

JVR in the emergencies. He’s close.

Iirc @Lord Nev shared the info. 👍🏽 

[Binmans PA 26,649]

I wouldn't be surprised if Chandler comes in for JJ.

[DubDee 21,852]

8 defenders is interesting.  Gus unlikely to move off HB

Is Hunt a chance a play fwd? or even Petty?  Taberner and Lobb could be handled with Petty maybe

[titan_uranus 23,117]

As an aside, this is Fremantle's first home game against us since 2015.

Which is utterly ridiculous.

I wonder whether there is any other match up in the competition where a side hasn't had a home game against another side in 7 years.

Surprised Banfield was dropped by Freo. Always seems to bob up and kick important goals.
