Last year the game vs Freo was played in Perth. We lost this game in the last after leading for 3/4ers 8.2 vs 9.4 3/4 time 15.4 vs 10.7 Final score
Saad got injured in the last. Midfield dropped their pressure. Hewett and Cripps played huge games, but rest of midfield, well Lord tagged serong with some success Last 9 minutes they kicked 4 goals. Phaaaaaaaaarque Familiar?
Carlton Out: Motlop, Fogarty, McKay, De Koning, Acres, Durdin, O'Farrell, Pittonet, Hewett, White, Saad, F Young In: Cerra, Smith, McGovern, Ainsworth, Florent, Kemp, Walsh, Hayward, Newman, Reidy, Dean, Byrne
I think we are a stronger team this year.
I understand why Moir. He was good last week in periods, and other times a statue. Likes his cameo in the midfield. I have a hunch he's the medium sized marking forward to allow Gov to backline, hence no Derksen.
Flynn has been a great lead up forward, ala Betts. He's also got a good kick for goal and passing. Lets hope Byrne, who also has strong hands like Flynn proves he should have been retained for this game, ahead of Flynn.
Can't allow Brayshaw and Serong to find connnection and synergy. Lord will go to Serong. No brainer.
Based on what I saw in the VFL last week, I would have played Saad. Backline doesn't look quick.
Regardless, I have a good feeling about this game. Freo are favourites, but they didnt impress me last weeek vs Eagles. I expect a close game. Hopefully, we can win a close one. Would I put money on us winning? No....but.....anything can happen this week.
