    1st Qualifying Final Freo v Sydney Pre Match Discussion

    Match confirmed Saturday afternoon 1.20pm local time (3.20pm Syd / Mel).

    Massive task but at least we have given ourselves a chance.

    Initial Changes OUT: K Jack (Inj) B.Jack (Omitted) Z Jones
    IN: Mcglynn, McVeigh, Smith
    Swannies for life!

    Tough call to omit BJ but afraid I agree. BJ will be much better for this season and I think that with another top off season he can become a very good AFL footballer. Zak Jones will slide into Shaw's spot pretty seamlessly next season, he just needs to be patient.

    If Gary Rohan is out then I'd keep Zak Jones in.

    And I never though I'd say this but Dean Towers must play nest week, he was just great out there tonight

    I think Lloyd will make way before BJ, if you take their form over the past month or so into consideration

    Yeah, fair call. Geez we need Rohan's speed and defensive pressure over there...hope the knee is not too bad.

    Horse's post match pressed suggested Gaz was fine, expect him to line up next week

    Given most of Freo's team had the week off, I'm surprised they elected for a Sat game over a Friday game.

    I would of thought they would ask themselves...

    Q: What will advantage us the most? A: Give the Swans a 6 day turnaround.

    A mistake by Freo...IMO.

    OUT : Jack, Lloyd, B Jack

    IN : McVeigh, Smith, McGlynn

    Given Horse's praise for Towers, he'll probably play. Problem is when ever he has played in a game with pressure, he goes missing.

    I'd much prefer Bird in the side, as sub.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    Personally I'd have

    OUTS: K. Jack, Towers, Jones

    INS: McGlynn, McVeigh, Smith

    Would be good to fit Bird in there as well with the midfield weakened. Will be interesting week at the selection table

    Agree. BJ ahead of Towers for me. Lloyd is a worry too.

    I agree. Either Lloyd to sub or Bird in for Lloyd, but I feel like that may make us a bit inside heavy and 4 changes seems like alot to make, especially with McGlynn and Bird having very little senior time this year.

    7 Game day reckon Jack 2-3 weeks with a medial strain. Probably a good result if correct.

    But does Rohan get enough of the footy? 10 kicks, 2 handpasses, 5 marks, 1 tackle. does a lot of chasing but does it translate into tackles?

    The only "definates" are:

    OUTS: K. Jack

    INS: McVeigh, Smith

    If Smith is not right, then it will be simple. McVeigh for Jack.

    If Smith does come in, I'd say Lloyd would probably miss.

    As for McGlynn, I dont think we will risk underdone players, when we already have Buddy and Rohan struggling in the forward line.
    McGlynn is fighting with Towers and BJ for that forward spot.
