Changes for the Prelim Final v Fremantle

[ernie koala]

Talk of Armstrong scares me.

He has never performed well under pressure. And there will be mountains of pressure on Saturday.

He was given opportunities in the home and away season...and didn't take them.

Surely they'll stick with...

Biggs in the backline...McVeigh in the midfield.

And bring in a couple of forwards to replace the injured forwards..

That would be choice of 2 from...Lamb, McGlynn, Rohan, LRT

[Jewels]

Afl.com.au rated him as a 6 in their post-match report...

Really? I wouldn't have given him a 6, he was close to invisible all night.

Was that the MRP report?

I dunno. I can never work out how they do their player ratings...

I agree. I thought Williams did nothing at all last week. Didn't even notice him on the ground that's how bad he was.

Me too. He would be the first one delisted if I were running the show. In fact I'd delist him twice, just to be sure.

The MRP let him off due to a lack of clear video evidence. Melbourne media are calling him a protected species.

As he should be. More likely to spot a thylacine running around in the red and white.

[India'sDad]

Membrey? Seems to know where the sticks are or is he one smokey too far? All those who recall Dermie's Debut take one step forward...

Swans confirm Tippett, Mitchell to miss - AFL.com.au

I can't understand why they disclosed so early in the week that he would not be playing. I would think that would be of great help to the Dockers.

They should have done plenty of lyin to Lyon.

miracles do happen Billy

Heard a rumour tonight that Towers was going to get a game this week. Supposedly from someone with a contact inside the club.

[SwansBloke]

The Swans definitely have enough in their armoury to knock off Freo. The. Number of finals experience games will be a factor and they really like that ground and all the animosity over there..... Remember Mickey O.

I've been going back and forth with one of my best mates here in Perth a mad Freo supporter and member since 1995. He's trying to claim underdog status and said their injury list is longer than ours. They do have some big outs but no dual-Brownlow medal winners!!!

u win !!
