Round 16 Pre Game Thread - Blues V Dockers

Fremantle v Carlton
Round 16 - 17:40 AWST, Jul 18, 2015
Domain Stadium

Sheesh - where to begin. No Gibbs, no Army. Fyfe in. Playing on their dung heap. They will be looking to "make a statement" after being embarrassed by the Hawks.

This will be one to avoid.

Frockers by 70.

At least Freo has come to a screeching halt form wise. Though, they may be looking to belt someone to reclaim it.

Reckon Cripps will have a tag like Mzungu on him and I dont see Barker letting Fyfe run around on his own either..we will need a combo of players to run with Fyfe....

Anything under 40 points will be a fair losing margin......

There are some guys going around who can get away with almost anything and not get suspended. It looks like Fyffe is becoming one of them. There have been 3 or 4 times this year when he has got away with things that our players would be suspended for. He may have been a bit unlucky in the past, but that is certainly no longer the case.
As for Mitchell and Selwood, they appear to be charmer. Selwood should have got something similar to what Judd got a couple of years back. But he got 1 miserable week. Mitchell kneed another player and got nothing again. And Howe of Melbourne got away with another sling tackles that gave his opponent concussion!
Truly amazing!
Live Long and Prosper!

Freo are hard to score against as well.....usually anyway.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Well I for one won't be flying West!  :)

After the ordinary performance against the hawks by Freo, Lyon will grill his side like its never been done before. The Dockers could end up giving us a serious lesson in football. We are too light on for depth at the moment. Barker is going to have a tough Saturday evening.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

When you're watching from the sidelines it's easy to make some rather odd suggestions. So here's one.

Over the next two weeks we play probably the best two sides (being nudged strongly by Sydney and WC) so why not use this as an opportunity to play any young bloke you're wondering about to firstly see how he responds and secondly so he gets to experience first hand how the best go about it. Then perhaps rest any of our front line older blokes carrying a nasty niggle or two. Treat it as an education.

Specifically you'd play Whiley, Smith, Dick, Fields, Jaksch and Walsh... not sure if we're allowed to play Russell. Perhaps even Foster.

Give each of Murph, Jamison and Carrazzo a rest for one of those two games. Use these two upcoming games to expose, teach and to rest. Then for the remainder of the season set out to win. After these two upcoming games I believe we could win 4 or so games and finish around 14th and have a much better 2nd half to the year (perhaps even 5-6 from our second 11 games as opposed to 2-9 from our first 11). Or maybe I'm just bored and should get back to work!  ;D
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Have we replaced all of our Long term injuries....I think we upgraded Fields for Warnock.
With Gibbs out we can probably upgrade another.
Did we replace Thomas?

The interesting selection will be Yarran.
He shouldn't play based on last weeks effort.
With Gibbs and Armfield missing will they weaken on this?
It will take a bit of courage to do what should be done, given the weakened state of the side and the potential for a heavy loss.

Maybe we should try Yazz in an attacking role v. Freo, see how he goes? If he's still ordinary then drop him. He doesn't deserve a game but we are short.

With Gibbs gone (and Juddy of course) I would definitely put Yazz in the midfield and make him work.

What we're really saying is 'give him a chance to redeem himself.'
Fair enough!
I'd also agree on the move forward.
Big plus if it comes off, and we know that he's capable of it.

...but he has to come with a different attitude or his playing will hurt us rather than help us
