No opponent for Sam Rowe presuming Jamo gets Pavlich?.....White would probably get Mayne....

Gibbs on Fyfe?.....Bell on Barlow?.....Mundy will be a problem with no Everitt....
You look down back and they have the players to handle Henderson, Waite, Casboult....
Lucas(if he plays), Ellard and young Graham are going to be weak links vs the big bodied Freo players...be a good test for Graham to see if he can lay some tackes, make em stick and win some footy.

To me it just looks like trouble all over the ground and we are a few players short in terms of matchups...

Freo are not fast, if MM has spent all week planning who to tag we will lose!

We need to have them chasing us, we do not want to have blokes like Murphy and Gibbs guarding a bunch of slugs!

Freo's problem is they dont kick enough goals as they are negative and only have one KP forward of any note....with regards pace I agree they are not quick but have players who are hard to tackle and bring down and that is an achillies heel for us vs the Swans, Hawks etc...we may catch them but they break our tackles and tire our smaller bodies out..
I can see a player like Mundy just bursting through our players and driving it long especially in the last part of the game when we are tired....and a pest like Ballantyne kicking a lot of cheap goals on someone like Touhy..

True and last time we played Tuohy played on Balantyne who in fact kicked 3, but Tuohy kicked three as well!

Last time we played Freo our mids were smashed, Sandilands marked uncontested in our back line as well as pushing forward. He won't get that sort of space this time and with Clark he will need to be motoring to cover Wood, Rowe, Casboult and Henderson! I expect heavy forward rotations from our talls keeping the opposition in motion.

I scratch my head and wonder just what Malthouse is trying to do.

I think he is trying to reinforce cultural selection.  You do the right things, you get a game.  You don't, you wont.  Its why I don't support playing the kids just to give them a game.  If you don't put your hand up you wont get selected, unless its by default, and you can bet that if you don't do the right things, then even after a default selection odds are your straight back out again.  Whats the point in playing a kid to see what he can do, when he wont do what you ask of him to earn a game in the first place?

That's the cultural issue at our club.  I think its being sorted, but it takes time.

When you've got robbo suspended, kreuz injured, everitt injured, menzel injured, buckley injured, cripps lacking match fitness, walker injured etc etc - it's no surprise those are our Ins and emergencies.

Jeffy isn't playing for off field reasons. If we took him to Perth we might as well leave him there.

Any money on Graham being the sub.... Again! :P
Why did the Carlton FC fall? So they could learn to pick themselves up.

He's still playing for the Northern Blues isn't he??

So reading between the lines in our team selection, Johnson should start the sub. 

I would be fairly comfortable putting a bet on a late change, and one of Armfield or Lucas being the starting sub for this match.

We are undermanned a little tonight, perhaps I need to curb my optimism. Let's just hope for a strong display.

All I want is a 4 qtr effort or as close to it as they can give. It's a good test against a high pressure side. It's a good chance to see who can handle the pressure !!
