Changes for round 18 - Freo

Different circumstances from last year when making selections or non selection of Cameron, we're no longer capable of making the eight so the dice can be rolled, as it has with McLean, but the MC must have liked what they've seen from him recently.This will be a noteworthy game regarding the value of ruckmen, with Freo having 3 and Swans selecting 0. The strange thing about McLean's selection is that Longmire usually likes to see a consistent body of work over an extended period of time yet McLean has only played a handful of games. It's baffling how McLean comes into the side after a couple of good, but not exceptional games, while Darcy Cameron couldn't a game last year even though he was the best player in the NEAFL.
It's sort of like the McInerney selection earlier this year when it just came out of the blue (almost). Just saying that others seemed more credentialed of the low credentialed lot. Anyway, looking forward to him proving he was worthy of selection.Comment

Hayward can consider himself extremely lucky to be playing this week... it must be true about him being the coaches favorite!

I'm not really sure how this selection would work. I wonder if Reid or Aliir will take just the centre bounces and then McLean / Fox the rest?Comment

Having had a look at McLean , his main strength is his marking , not ruckwork; and I think the plan is to play Reid in the ruck and McLean as the marking target.

MacLean, Blakey and McCartain - would have to be the three youngest KP Forwards to line up in the one forward line ever!Comment

Menzel should of come in for him.
Hayward has been one of my faves the last 2 years but he's been appalling for the second half of this year, he needs to regain form and confidenceComment

Agree. He's got plenty of talent but is badly out of form and is a basket case when in front of goals, particularly with a set shot. Could use a few weeks in the NEAFL to hopefully regain some confidence and kick a few goals.

Out of the inclusions I'm happiest for Stoddart. He really deserves it. He couldn't have done anything more than he's already done to deserve a shot in the seniors.Comment

But will take relief ruck role, I suspectIt's a debut for ....McLean! Considering he hasn't rucked in the last 2 weeks I don't think he's going to be taking over first ruck duties from Aliir?
In: Clarke, Fox, McLean, Stoddart
Out: Cunningham (injured), Dawson (suspended), Jack (omitted), Ronke (omitted)
Emg: Rose Ronke Jack Menzel
Fyfe out !Comment

Totally agree. I think this kid can make it with opportunity and help. The final part of the season given our current predicament is a perfect opportunity for this.
