How does
Out  Williamson (omitted) Martin, Fisher
In    Betts, Silvagni, Parks
sound??

Seems to be the word around Ikon today.

Parks for Williamson is hard to call. Betts and Silvagni bring a few tricks of their own, but even with that I still think overall the team is weaker with those changes.

I'm with the Professory on his comments.

Our senior coach speaks of people earning their places in the side / to wear the Navy Blue, yet those 3 get to front up again - if the word around PP is accurate.

McDonald for Casboult and Kennedy for Setterfield for mine. Murphy last chance.

Sometimes the talk of 'fast' can be deceiving. There are blokes who might not cover the grass quickly but make up for it with quick and smart decision making. And FFS give Ed a lockdown role, his turnovers are just too costly.

Huge game early in the season in my opinion. Have 2 winnable games then 2 games against top 4 teams so just have to bank the next 2.
Wont be easy but if we are the team on the rise we all think we are must account for them tomorrow on our home deck.
There was excuses in the first 2 rounds. There is none this week.

If we are fair dinkum this game must be a turning point for us. I am not really interested in a one-off win however good. We need to sustain ongoing an intensive, pressure laden playing style to be considered anywhere near a side with a future of success.

Yes, agree. I'm not super confident, but we should have enough firepower and motivation to get the job done. I'm not looking for a demolition job. Even if we just fall over the line, I'll just be happy to bank the 4 points, and focus on next week.

Williamson, Stocker, Kennedy, Cunningham, OMac, LOB, McGovern all playing in the twos today.

Betts, Murphy, JSOS and Casboult aren't so guessing they are in the seniors.

Cottrell?

Cottrell isn't out there either. Wonder if he'll be the sub.

I think we need to beat Freo well to show we are progressing, to just fall over the line in a home game vs a very non descript team coached by a rookie is kidding ourselves we are any good.
