Does that mean Dow is Med emergency?

I'm not sure that we'd use Dow as the sub two weeks in a row.

Shows how much I know, Dow is the sub again 🙄

Cripps.

Thankfully he is back, because without both we'd be screwed.

We’ll miss Jack but the team has better balance with two ruckmen.

Lobb is a big unit but he is not much chop as a ruckman.  De Koning hasn’t been great but he should have Lobb’s measure when Pitto and Darcy have a spell.

Do we think Jack really did injure himself sufficiently to need a week off or was this a case of cold feet as the coaches grappled with the need for a 2nd ruck?

Agree on Lobb, be more of a nuisance down forward with his size and getting the ball to ground for those Freo small forwards, his ruck work is of the timid variety imho.

I admit that I was somewhat sceptical when I heard of his "injury". Anyhow,  hopefully DK will grab his opportunity.
Reality always wins in the end.

I highlighted in the post game thread either this week or last week that he was limping post game and in the rooms.

I thought the articles covering his late withdrawal suggested it was a training incident. Could be wrong on that though. But If I'm speculating the reasons given for the swap might be BS, then I guess I shouldn't place much reliance on what was said while announcing it.

Article did say it was a training incident. But i noted it prior, so perhaps he reinjured it at training...or made it worse to the point he can't play, or they've said enough is enough, we need to rest him because he keeps injuring it.....

edit:
Here is the post from R3 post game i made...

Charlie limped off, said it was a rolled ankle and he'll be fine. Not 100% on that.
Pittonet got subbed out late.
Weitering grabbed at his groin on multiple occasions in the last, and grabbed at his foot/toe multiple times as well. He'd have to have an amputated to not play next week.
Silvagni was limping post game.

I hope we can keep our boys fit enough for next week.

Also very much looking for Saad coming back. We saw with JC how important run and carry off half back is, he single handedly got/kept them in the game and we missed that from our end.

I reckon tonight's game will give us the most accurate indication of where we are. Tonight is the litmus test.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

No doubt about that Baggers. Initially, I was pretty dismissive of Freo but the more I looked at them, the more I was impressed. We just don't get to see them much over here. Freo is rarely on FTA and even if you have FoxFooty their games tend to be overshadowed by games involving the big Victorian teams that are played at the same time. They really have some good young talent. Looking a few years down the track, the only area in which we should be stronger than them is in the key forward department. Taberner's 28 and Lobb's 30 or so, while Harry's 22 and Charlie's 25. But of course it doesn't work like that. The Hun ran an article about Victorian clubs jockeying to pinch their full back Pearce who'll be a free agent at the end of the year. And Gold Coast could tell a few stories about how hard it is to keep talented young players together when other clubs start sniffing around. Some Victorian club pinched one of Freo's best young mids last year IIRC.

"Harry's 22 and Charlie's 25."

That can't be right Mav.  Charlie, Harry, Weiters and Jack were drafted in the same year and all were born in 1997.  Charlie has already turned 25, Harry's birthday is in December. 

I imagine that Freo's list manager has plans in place to replace Lobb (and Mundy!) in the near future.  Whether he can come up with a talent like Charlie or Harry is another matter.

Freo certainly flies under the radar of folk in the eastern states and they have maintained a pretty good list for some time.  For some reason, their performances don't always reflect the strebgth of their list.

It should be a good contest tonight and I'm quietly confident  :)

Yep, Harry's 24. As teachers are wont to say, I was just checking if you were concentrating.  :-[
