QuoteHarvey challenged his 5-3 side to maintain its competitive performances until the break.

Fremantle has a 0-5 record without Sandilands since 2008,

but Harvey said his side was better prepared to win games without the All Australian than it had been in the past.

that stat worries me but surely with Keplar up forward our structure won't change all that much unless Keplar is called to support Griffin, then who becomes the target up forward? I wouldn't want Mayne due to his accuracy issues this season....

Do you actually watch our games Cic?  Kep has been helping out Sandi all year in the ruck.

I know that but without the big guy Keplar is going to have to compete in a lot more of those contests because Griffin is not as big as Sandilands which increases Keplar's risk of injury further considering our injury list already...

No one is as big as Freo (except for our ruck coach :P).  Griffin has been dominant in the WAFL and Clarke had a great game on the weekend.  If you brought them in then they would need to play most of the minutes in the ruck - the same as what Sandi has been doing.

Even if you gave Griffin play 2 games and then Clarke play 2 games then so be it.  They need to do the same as what Sandi has been doing so we dont break up our structures - which has been working for us so far this year.

Have Griffin and Clarke been kicking goals of late tho?

Is Anthony going to come into calculations yet?

problem i think at this stage is that he is reliant on marks for shots on goal cause he only average 10 disposals 3 marks and 2 goals a game

Jack had a terrible game on the weekend - 1 handball was his only possessions.  The only shining light was that he went to the backline in the 3rd and kept his opponent goalless.  I dont think Jack will be in line for a call up this week. 

I think it will be Griffin as a straight swap for Sandi.  I am hoping that it will be Griffen/Clarke in for Sandi/Johnson out

Cicjose

i am kind of hoping that one of those two decide to become the other focal point up forward to complement Bradley when the other is in the ruck

but i wouldn't be surprised if Griffin rucks and Clarke is the sub or vice versa....

That would be fantastic and is what I am hoping would be achieved from dropping Johnson.

But the second option is most likely what will happen
