Smith’s time to shine the next month!!

I am panicking now

Jordan is having a shocker!!

Geez.. need to reset!

Pie’s confidence disappearing by the week!!

All the flag favourites are stalling.. but not the Dees!!

I actually think we can build a forwardline around Petty and JVR. They are both competitive animals, great marks and good endurance athletes. This will help Jefferson to take his time to come, and when ready I see him as a good third option. Melky probably keeps him out for a while and it will be interesting to see if he and Fritta can operate together with 2 other talls. The focus now I see is that 1 defender spot. May has benefited from Tomlinson being a lockdown on the main key forward. We probably need another gun defender to fill Perry’s spot and relieve May and Lever to intercept.. not sure Tomlinson will provide this next year and beyond.

Highly likely at the end of this round we will be 2nd on the ladder. A game clear of Brisbane and ahead of Port on %. Wow!!

Been done to death, but gee Oliver’s is strange. Been back full training 2 weeks, on the back of a 4 week training block. His hamstring must be able to cut through steel by now it is so well conditioned.

Premiership points should be taken away…

Great suggestion- Yes he should be managed this week. Smith to play back to cover him. Gawn out, Grundy in and Viney rested- Sparrow if fit to come in. JJ and Harmes both lucky to survive till Clarry is back. With our forwardline functioning I see Trac almost 100% mid time.

Rain.., not good for us

Sub Harmes out

Would love to sneak to 2nd and play Brissy at home

We need to be careful tomorrow.. it is the round for it

After Piers Morgan’s racist comments- calling us “cheating convicts”. I hope he finds himself on an immigration blacklist for this great country!!! He can enjoy the weather and washouts in England. Self entitled toss!!

Would Hibbo come in and Riv play midfield minutes? Petty for Brown. Not sure how, but love to see Smith in the 22.

Still very vague on Clayton. “Still got to hit markers and be comfortable hitting them.” Might be round 21/22, or round 1-2024.. Who knows.

I hope the AFL Ethics Committee (yes, cannot believe that I think such as organisation exists) keep an eye on the Tanking Cup this Sunday.

I think of there is a way to get rest into him and Trac, that would be amazing, to set us up for the rest of the year. I would actually look at subbed them early in games.

Smith is a 3rd forward option. He needs Brown as the decoy. His pressure, tackling is an asset. I’d like him to start and Trac move into the midfield till Oliver is back. Our forwardline looks okay with Melky and Kozzie hitting some form. Plus Richmond are JVRs bunnies!

Watched the game from behind the goals at the punt road end and felt Jordan struggled, would like Smith to start, maybe Jordan sub. Might have missed some good work of Jordan- so will watch replay first before locking that in.

Next week changes- Over the shoulder no look handball (looking at you Hunter) Was hard to really sum up that game watching it live. I think considering our forward half connection was average, we still nearly put on 100 which was pleasing.

1 forward 50 tackle to 12.. that needs to change.

Does this have a Freo feel about it this game?
