Always Right Match Committee Rd 19 vs Fremantle

[Happy Days]

Did we miss a trick by not playing Morris & West last week? Having a legendary father-son debut & our veteran defensive hero back in the side may have helped to counter-act the sacked coach dead cat bounce the Saints enjoyed. At the very least, Moz would have shored up the ****-show that was our defensive 50.

Would you have played Morris as well as Libba and Caleb? I think we made an error by bringing them both back, seemingly underdone, at the same time. Moz as well may have only compounded that.

I really struggle how we can fit Morris into a defensive group that already contains Trengove, Cordy & Wood due to the lack of offensive outputs.

Interested to see how we structure up.

I share your concerns. Taking Trengove out to ruck more may help English but leaves us dangerously undersized against Lobb (if he plays). Perhaps Cordy is squeezed out this week.

I'm waiting to see if Cordy stays in the side given Moz is back. Freo do play tall but Lobb is under an injury cloud as well

So - if Fyfe plays forward, what exactly is our plan?

We have a few options I would think - Wood, Crozier, or our returning T-800 Model 101 Terminator.

Just heard on 10 news that West will make his debut this week.
And Moz is back!

[Ghost Dog]

That's great news. Thanks for sharing.

I really, really enjoyed watching that.

Love that they've still got the Domestique jersey for training.

Oops, thought I had a scoop? I probably should have read the previous page before posting.
Anyways congrats to young Westy.

Well..Freo loaded up a bit last week and played with Sandilands, Lobb and Darcy...McCarthy played as well. So we are going to need two tall defenders throughout.

Wood actually provided us some run and bounce last week - I think he is going to have his hands full with Fyfe though.

From there, other Freo forwards are going to be Walters (obviously a good player), Matera (having a good season but unlikely to kick more than 2) and Bewley down there...Mundy will take a turn and even the Brad version of the Hills will spend time as a HHF.

If you assume Cordy plays and takes McCarthy, Trengove takes the Lobb/Sandi/Darcy thing and Wood takes Fyfe, well, I am not sure who Morris plays on. Then again, I am not sure who plays on Walters full-stop.

Oh - I would tag Luke Ryan as well. He makes them 'go' from behind the ball and so often sets up as the deepest...needs an elbow in his back. No uncontested intercept marks - actually, just make it no uncontested marks full stop - for Ryan and we will go a long way to stopping their rebound...he only goes at about 90% by foot so stopping him will really impact them. Yes, Wilson is flashy and runs but does blaze away a fair bit...
