Apparently there is a round of footy this weekend  :))

I reckon MM might pull a surprise and bring in Warnock and/or Casboult as he had a good game on the weekend.  Can't see him bring in young inexperience players (eg. Graham/Menzel) against Freo.

Hard to see who will be omitted but if Warnock or Casboult comes in then then I reckon its Lucas & Rowe even possibly Betts. 
Excuses year 1, blame year 2, contract extention year 3........

You do what every other side does, you rove to the opposition ruck. Sandilands dominates the ruck but often when he plays Freo  get smacked in the clearances as it's so predictable.

Saving him for the finals - if we make it?  ;)

Staying with the three run-with players - play Freo at their own tight game.
Reality always wins in the end.

As discussed earlier, it was difficult to identify anyone to omit and I think that it is a good thing that the MC has confidence in the 22 that did well last game.

I was half expecting to see Bell and Warnock come in.  However, to have made those changes would have been a sign that we trying to counter Freo.  No change implies that we're not that concerned about matching up with Freo and they should be concerned about us.

We are fortunate that Freo have a couple of key players out.  The mighty Blues by 3 goals.

Let him win the tap and then just run him off his feet around the ground, especially moving forward. Sandilands is slower than me.....and that's slow

Our speed and quick accurate ball movement will be key against this mob, they are the no.1 defensive side in the comp. Gotta spread them and run hard to be any chance.

I'm happy with this under one condition. We better be prepared to run hard back the other way if we turn the ball over. they are fit and run well when they are on fire. We need to grab every opportunity and score the 6 points. They are a very defensive side and they will try to dry up our supply of the pill in the forward 50m. I'm confident we can and should win this game. Just score the easy shots on goal. make every score count. Go get em guys. Drill them a new one.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

I look at this and I am unconvinced. They are expecting a lot of Kreuzer. Two weeks ago I thought we had lost the game at the selection table: this week I just hope they know what they are doing. And I doubt it. But what do I know?
Live Long and Prosper!

Well no changes is certainly a surprise - to me.

Maybe MM has seen enough of the list and happy to settle in the best team he thinks he can put together now  :-\

As per previous week, unconvincingly I'll go Blues by >10 pts.
