Position 2022: Defender Discussion

[Herbie66]

Brayshaw only on 61%. Tucker is usually inside. They tried to get rid of Blakely so I think he's just in a Florida retirement home waiting for his time to finish.
Unless they're a star I'm not sure mid is much better than half back nowadays.

Brayshaw's should lift then , Serong was 71% so his could increase as well.

Was tracking Tucker 2-3 seasons ago for awhile.

Think this is the year for Blakely has been seemingly around for the last decade do it probably won't happen now.

Once the ball bounces it is just a swarm of 10-12 around the ball in any case , think stoppages actually give more chance to use "set" plays , actually like watching the Eagles when they move to create space to allow Nic Nat a good high at it , Gawn is another one who can actually hit to his side's advantage.

How is Fyfe tracking this pre-season ?

Will Brodie (reported to have picked up an injury recently though, but still) Will Brodie!

If I can't find 3 forward rookies playing Round 1 , Will Brodie could be in my team 😀

Is Acres still on the list ?

haha i'll be tempted to start him too mate, him being injured may be a blessing in disguise for my team

Acres is still getting around, not sure he'll find himself in the 22 this year though

I only get to see Freo on FTA when they play the 2 Adelaide teams , can't recall their Best 22.

If I had to guess right now, I think it would look something like this assuming a fully fit list….but I am by no means an expert

B: Logue, Pearce/Hamling, Ryan

HB: Clark, Cox, Young

C: Tucker, Brayshaw, Henry

HF: Walters, Lobb, Schultz

FF: Sturt, Tabs, Treacy

R: Darcy, Fyfe, Serong

B: Switkowski, Aish, Chapman, Mundy

E: Erasmus, Frederick, Walker, Brodie

Thanks for that.

O'Driscoll not close to the Best 26 then ?

Personally I dont see it, but you could make a case to squeeze him into those listed emergencies

That's ok I am happy with Darcy as my Freo rep and any of their rookie priced players named Round 1 will be a bonus.

Can pick out of crisp or Dawson?

Which one leaves you less exposed to having too many players from one team?

Adelaide supporters will Hinge play ?

Adelaide supporters will Hinge play ?

I think so, Brisbane supporters probably know more about him considering he dislocated his shoulder more times than he's played games for us.

Competition is fairly weak for him for a wing or half back role, Hamil, McPherson, Sholl training with the B team, Milera should play but think hes incredibly overrated. Sounds like Dawson wants to play inside but probably plays Wing/Mid. Seedsman still having concussion issues from almost 2 months ago, unsure how long hes out for.

Cheers mate, love your work

I read somewhere that when Nicks was asked who was replacing Kelly , the only guy he mentioned was Hinge.

Certainly no expert but assume Brown , Jones , Milera & Smith will rotate down back with 3 talls.

Crouch will probably push one of Keays/Sloane to one flank/wing (depending if Keays plays a run with role or not)

Schoenberg is the interesting one , definitely put him in at the CBA a lot more last season in the last 6-7 games.

Lot of talk about Dawson , surely teams will tag him first over anyone else.

Hinge might make that HB/W rotation mix.

Depends how they set up to cover Seedsman , although generally they only play through one winger the majority of the time.
