The big test!

[quinny88]

Just the one match for Morris! :o

Yeah was 2 matches but early guilty plea can make it 1. That's good.
Ellis has been the sub 2 weeks in a row so hard to judge but he could possibly go out.

Reece Conca injured - 4 weeks after getting a stress fracture in his foot :-[

Talented, young Richmond midfielder Reece Conca will miss at least the next month of football, with a stress reaction in his right foot.

Conca, who had started the 2013 season in impressive form, had scans earlier this week, which confirmed the injury.

:'( :'( disappointing, he started well.
Vlastuin will almost defiantly play now

[Toga]

Yeah Vlas has to come in imo, we need someone to win that contested ball for us...


Yeah he started very well, imo should have got the 3 votes vs St Kilda, was everywhere! Hope he recovers fine and comes back strong after the bye.

Agree about the 3 votes against the Saints, out of him and Jroo. He was fantastic that night.
Hopefully Foley is back in a week or two.

Also if Lonergan was on the senior list and fit I think he would be a good addition to our midfield. Like you said we need someone to win the contested ball now that Conca is out and Tuck has been a little disappointing so far.

[Toga]

Yeah they won't wanna push Foles back to quick but we really need him now imo :-X

And definitely agree about Lonergan, bit of a shame really... Probably should've upgraded him instead of O-Steph in hindsight, as we only really need Stephenson if Maric/Derickx get an LTI (touch wood), whereas Lonergan's probably more of a versatile player. We can upgrade him mid-season though yeah? Probably a bit late by then anyways lol ::)

[Toga]

Bit lacking of big men down back imo... Would've thought Griffiths might come in for Chaplin... But that being said Fremantle doesn't really have a really solid key forward option atm.

Will be good to see Helbig in the side again, and the debut of Vlastuin. Looking forwards to seeing how White can use his pace around Paterson's.

[quinny88]

4 changes. Wow that's quite a lot. Tuck hasn't been in great form but would think he is a must in a highly contested game that this will be. That's some big outs but hopefully a change up helps us. Gonna be a tough task but I'm confident we can give them a run for their money

I like how you predicted there dream team scores next to the names! Looks accurate :P

Just joking, in my mind, this is one of the matches of the round

[Cicjose]

and Fremantle need to win to be taken seriously as finals aspirants

[Toga]

and Fremantle need to win to be taken seriously as finals aspirants

Both teams needing a win for that reason Cic :o

WIll be a tough game for both sides imo

[Nige]

Push Up out, Robbie in.

Nahas and Suban the subs. Vlas escapes the vest!  8)

What a mother flowering joke. Umpire was flowering terrible (not blaming them solely for the lose, but Freo did get a few good free kicks.) flowering umpire gets in the way of a  goal, what the flower was he doing. Get flowered Ryan Crowley and get back Hayden Ballantyne.
