Pre Game AFL Round 15 - Blues v Freo Shockers, 1720 AST, Optus Stadium

[LoveNavy]

I agree flyboy. It is the perfect opportunity for our mids to show their wares. Their greatest challenge for the past 2years.

I hate to be pessimistic but if our hopes are pinned on Lang in the middle, we're buggered. I like the way Setters has been building but he's still only played a handful of games. I'm guessing Ed will tag Fyfe or Mundy, hope he can win some ball like he did v Lions.

Pity the poor bugger matched on Walters, from a competitive perspective as well as a head protection perspective  : Maybe Plowman gets the job and wears his helmet ????

Imagine this scenario - the centre bounce is contested by the centre and rovers named by each team.

Fyfe, Conca and Mundy vs Dow, Setterfield and Walsh  :o

And on the wings - Brad Hill and Ed Langdon vs Marc Murphy and LOB.

We may as well save the airfare and forfeit.

Well, this puts a damper on our premiership hopes.

Well we're about to find out what some folks have been wondering about for some time... without actually wanting to see it.

The 'elephant in the room' is about to be addressed.

His form suggests it's been something he's been carrying.

yep.

[flyboy77]

I'll be there!

Go Blues.

[Jack Burton]

This could get very ugly

2 elephants in the room i suspect.

1. Can we play without Cripps.
2. Can Teague coach.

If he can get the boys to be competitive in the absense of BOTH our skippers, on the other side of the country no less, then we need to start looking hard at him.

Which brings me to the obvious question.

Who captains? Ed? Simmo?? Murphy???

[flyboy77]

I'm excited by this...freo are freo.

So, so.

Who will step up?

Setterfield.....will have to take Mundy.
Maybe Jack will play and be that big inside  mid we need and contain Fyfe.
McGovern to kick a bag and win us the game.
