May not be such a bad idea. Fyfe wouldn't know if he's coming or going????
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Cookie....not sure Jones will have the match fitness after a serious head injury to run with Fyfe all day....Fyfe is a beast. If Cripps had been playing they probably would've just played their own games. Curnow might get the job and maybe Setterfield runs with Mundy.

I was sort of half joking WAS. I just  had this flash of Jonesy in full flight crashing into Fyfe>
Nice to fantasize sometimes..... 8)

I'd love to see Ed go to Fyfe from the get go, and niggle him from the time the siren starts.
Fyfe is vulnerable to frutration and if Ed can get a rise out of him he might do something stupid.

Jones should play in the twos, not even the traveling emergency. Better off having full game time here. Might be why they chose Lang, take him across as second emergency. Bench prediction: Kennedy, Silvagni, SPS and Thomas.

Agree.  Curnow tagging Fyfe is a certainty now that Cripps isnt playing.

Our midfield is severely undermanned with our main man in, its completely out of its depth with him out. Have to turn to a bunch of skinny kids and Ed :o

Only a massive team effort with all players willing to give 110% to show the football world they are  not a one man band will give us a chance to get within a few goals. If not will be a smacking.

Sad 4 years into a rebuild any hopes of win seem to go out the window when one player misses.

No Kennedy surely means thats his AFL dream over.

If Cripps isnt playing, its between Setterfield and Kennedy.

Agree....Fyfe runs all day and is a serious athlete, Ed will need a hand from say Kennedy to keep the pressure up on Fyfe. Never been a real Fyfe fan but watched a couple of Freo games this season and he does work hard and anyone playing on him will need their weetbix. He is averaging more disposals(30) per game than Cripps this season and at 192cm/96kg is Cripps like in size, he is a big unit...you add Mundy at 193/94kg and our blokes are going to very tired trying to bring those two down and its going to need team tagging and plenty of rotations.

Ed is one of the fittest in the comp. There aren't too many around who can match his endurance.
Having said that, always handy to have help.

 I said there were four players who on form would be unlucky to miss out, Silvagni, Kennedy, Jones &Goddard, and three made the cut. Getting one in a row right means I won't be making any more predictions.

Dispute freo losing a few reckon our outs affect us more then theirs  will. Have gone from being very confident to thinking how we will possibly not be smashed. No confidence in beating anyone regardless of who they have put when we are fielding a reserve grade midfield.

Will see exactly how much we rely on Cripps this week.

Bolts if he keep his job would have been very nervous this week.

Reckon it will be a long afternoon.
