Id rather plowman play.  We are short bodies. 
Parks is a rough tough dude, his marking is his strength, just concerned Freo are more of a quick moving team
and not sure that suits Parks. His kicking is talked about as being reliable but he has a ball drop that isnt great for making kicks quickly and I hope the speed of the game doesnt prove too much for him.

Hard to say, having lost two already you wouldn't think there would be many more changes, I think if you get to 3 or 5 changes in a week you are basically expecting to lose.

SoJ probably deserves to return, if he passes a fitness test. Maybe sMurph out for Betts, I think it's quite probably those two will swap places on and off during the season. But with Fisher already out perhaps Betts is in an sMurph stays.

So maybe Williamson for SoJ?

Be interesting to see how Parks goes against the much heavier bodies of the AFL, his highlights suggest he plays in quite a combative style throwing himself at the footy not unlike Hunter.

Our selection committee is very conservative, although a number of players deserve the chop owing to poor defensive pressure from previous outings.

SOJ, Betts & Parks for Martin, Fisher and Willo. Though if we were fair-dinkum, Casboult would also get the chop for, maybe a Kennedy.



Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

We should all wish Luke Parks all the very best for his debut. Hopefully we will unearth a real player who will have a long and successful career with us.

Best of luck "LP." ;D

Couldn't be more excited - Luke is from my local club.

You won't hear anyone say a bad word about the kid - wasn't a super star as a junior but a a very hard working kid. Went thru the Swans Academy but they didn't rate him at draft time [they took Will Gould from Glenelg who is yet to play] so he luckily went to SA just before Covid lockdown hit to play SANFL at Glenelg to follow his dream. He's a talented intercept marker with good disposal and decision making who has grown physically a lot since his draft year. Will probably keep growing for another few years in a full time professional environment. He has done it hard way.

Think of him as a young Phil Davis. He brings a point of difference as he is a type of player [apart from maybe Caleb Marchbank] that we don't have and could sorely do with. Go well young fella - fingers crossed it is the first of many.........

Maybe SPS forward and Parks takes his spot

Will be interesting to see what they do - he's unlikely to be an interchange player due to his role so you would think they are picking him to play as the sub. And you wouldn't think he would be the sub either?

I would think he replaces either Willo or Plowman as the 3rd tall. Freo are quite small and fast so I wouldn't think he is a swap for SPS.

Ch7 showed Coach Teague roasting the players at training for not training with intent. Smashed em also at the Monday review apparently. I'd imagine the club Psychs will be busy this week with players as that's not the done thing anymore with the new generation.
What worries me (doesn't surprise me though) is its Thurs training and they still havent responded to last weeks showing or trained to the expectations fo the coach.

That's all I want to see this week.
Come ready to play with a bit of pressure and intensity....and show effort.

I think that was the disappointing aspect of the Collingwood game and that's what's caused most of the angst this week.

If a bake won't get them up, and a bad review won't get them up, then maybe kicking the dew of the ground in the reserves is the trick.

Parks in suggests he is happy to make some moves. He's hinted at Eddie returning too.
I'd be looking to add at least 2 more blokes. If he wants people to have a go, bring in Cottrell and Silvagni.
Bite the bullet and give Oscar backup duties and tell Casboult if he can't run and chase, he doesn't play again.

We can pick a couple changes and hope, or we can go full scorched earth and enforce change.

Casboult in serious doubt, knee wise. They have the perfect out to give him a rest. Good game for Parks to debut. Winnable game, friendly crowd on a ground that favors a marking player. Could be a ‘master selection’ by Austin if young Luke produces the goods!!

If he's half as good as another champ that wore #26, I'll grab it.  Give him game time
