We’ve gotta stick to our plan. they’ll get past us with run sometimes but we’ll get at them too Jetta reads the play and has the experience to cope with small fwds. I’d put Sparrow on one of them, he is so competitive.

Ryder marshall hanneberry Crouch Paton geary Frawley. not sure if they picked up any other injuries yesterday. GWS aren’t that good, not much up front. They have lost so much talent and have their own injuries the Saints will be a much tougher opponent with Crouch and Marshall back especially

Saints without 7 best 22 players and us just missing 2 is an advantage, especially with both their rucks out. King back is a worry we should win the contested ball easily. They have few inside mids. Obviously the issue for us is their smalls and outside run. Lonie, Greasham, Billings, Higgins, Butler, Hill. jetta, Hunt, Hibbo, Sparrow will be busy on the smalls. We’ll see if Gus, Oliver and Trac can run both ways should be a cracker

Something on your mind mate? Lockdown been tough on us all. ? I hear Dan Murphy was BoG

Like I said with Hogan - no chance he’ll leave, close thread

I like Jones at HF. 18 touches, 6 score involvements. Didn’t have a Great game but we need experience in the forward line right now and he is a good kick viney in for Sparrow or Harmes for me

Saints lost contested possessions by 30. Lost inside 50’s by 10. If GWS kick straight, they win we can handle them easily on the inside. How clever can we be converting that to clearances and inside 50’s? Let’s see what we’ve learnt this week I back us to win

Feeeell the burn Freo!

Hard to understand the MRO rules. Looking at the incident as a footy collision, shoulder on shoulder you would think no suspension. but I believe you are suspended based on the outcome in the case of accidental head clash. Therefore he could get anything. I expect 3-4 weeks from the tribunal. Madness

At least Banfield, Sturt, Logue, Hill, Frederick, Crowden would be best 22 I think. Not sure about the other few on the list

Surprised by the lack of votes for Kozzi. His touches and influence lifted us many times. Pressure, aggression and speed and skill. although it is hard to fit everyone in

Sorry to hear that mate. The veil of negativity has been around all preseason for many on here. Not exactly sure why, covid, the disappointment is of last year. it’ll turn though, once we show on field our improvement, the belief will grow. Many are positive on here about our chances this year, including myself, although I still love to have a rant when things are going wrong. Try not to let it impact your mood, it is just people venting

Freo have 11 on their injury list including 6 forwards and they had to play a first gamer in the ruck. The defender they decided to play fwd then went down with a knee. Agree their midfield is still strong but they were impacted more by injuries than we were

Gawn was one of Freo’s best players!

I think we should have switched our game. I would have wanted as many Bombers fans to witness that capitulation as possible!

Agree with you but Melksham needs to prove himself with high intensity effort at Casey first

The difference is the 100’s of thousands more people that cheer for the other teams I have no problem with people wanting to avoid mass gatherings. I imagine our supporter groups are older than others.

Suck on a fat one Cats! 15 years is enough at the top

Danger should get a week for that

JOnes and Jetta will not and should not be dropped. Jetta won a lot of 1:1s today and was very solid down Back

Very rusty. On a calm day we would have kicked 16.9 at least as most of our shots were in the corridor. Clarry, Max and Trac should be embarrassed being out done tactically at stoppages all game. Novice ruck and a young but good midfield. Those 3 need to be able to adapt and change the course of the game. Having said that Clarry and Trac still played well

Saints will be playing in a swamp off a 6 day break and have plenty of injuries perfect time to get them

6 McDonald. Our most important player. We desperately needed a tall to take marks front of centre 5 Lever 4 May 3 Oliver 2 Trac 1 Kozzi apologies to Spargo and Jordan

Drop Harmes

Jetta too old and slow my [censored]!
