Re: Round 1 2016 team
I hope Hamling plays, we can't rely on just Adams, a first gamer, to be our KPP.

Re: Round 1 2016 team
Wood would destroy a resting ruckman. Perfect scenario for us.

Don't know if much in it but:
No Nat Fyfe or Michael Johnson training. Pav only doing run throughs away from main group

Mind you we are only looking at it from our perspective if Freo goes tall up forward. Imagine the conversation Freo are having about the same topic. I daresay they would be really concerned about going tall up forward at the risk of us bringing the ball to ground and sweeping it out of defence with our runners. If we've learned one thing it's that Bevo backs his gameplan and his players. I won't be surprised if we take a risk and go small in defence.
I thought we were found out against Collingwood in the NAB game in going in with just one tall defender in Adams. I would be surprised if Hamling or Roberts isn't included this week to provide support to Adams.
Morris now looks better suited to playing on either small or mid type forwards.

Would think so. I thinks its why we were so keen to get permission for Hamling to play on the weekend. I reckon Hamling will be named to play.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Therefore I'm so glad we experimented against Collingwood and not in the real stuff during the season.
Going to be hard to squeeze a player out

I think Bevo will surprise some of us.

Re: Round 1 2016 team
Just saw 7sport news and they said Tom Campbell should be right for our game against Freo.

I would be surprised if Bevo plays 2 tall defenders. ( Adams & Hamling)

Given TC looks ok Roughie to FB. I don't think we'll consider Hamling now with Roughie and Adams down there.

Yes I totally agree. Not that it matters, but we would have won that game if we had have had at least ONE tall defender.
Moore looked a million bucks, and I don't want to rain on his parade, but without Roughead, Roberts or Hamling out there he had a pretty easy run.

Roughy has spent no time through the pre-season playing in defence (at least in viewed games).. From reports he hasn't been down there in match simulation practice either.
Can't see them pushing him back there under these circumstances.

Re: Round 1 2016 team
Becoming more and more convinced we will play one tall defender....even if that tall defender is only slightly taller than Morris.
I see them lining up like this;
Ballantyne, Pavlich Clarke
Mzungu, Mayne, Walters
V
Morris, Adams, Biggs
Boyd, Wood, Murphy
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Freo board concensus is they'll play two ruckmen who rotate forward + Pav and Tabener.
They seem to be on the Mzungu vs Mayne bandwagon, not both.
