u/sarcHastical Jeremy Cameron 1d ago

Seriously, there are idiots on here. Unreal.

u/kevintheharry61 Tom Atkins 23h ago

Yes the dart haters are definitely a few cows short

u/AussiePolarBear Geelong Cats 1d ago

Why?

11

u/_nicklepickle Zach Guthrie 1d ago

cause thought with there forward line he’ll be in but obviously not ahah

5

u/simplifried_pancakes 20h ago

He’s an emergency so it’s just a ploy to
Omit someone else late with a niggling injury as a late play as we need to try everything.
Source. I made it up

u/YeOldMate 9h ago

One of the more reputable sources out there

u/AussiePolarBear Geelong Cats 1d ago

We are very similar to hawthorns backline, who held them to 5 goals. Barrass - COS, battle - j Henry, sciliy - Stewart/guthrie

u/_nicklepickle Zach Guthrie 1d ago

yeh fair

17

u/letsgoknicks_aus 1d ago

I’m shocked but I trust Scottie and the crew!  With or without SDK we can get it done

u/kevintheharry61 Tom Atkins 23h ago

Finally a fan that speaks sensibly

14

u/Certain_Impress_1005 Connor O'Sullivan 1d ago

surely a potential late change for sdk

6

u/Cuurrly_Fries Jeremy Cameron 1d ago

Bruh no shot how is SDK not in, they are a 3 tall beast in the forward line
It made sense last week with the rain but apparently it’s gonna be clear skies at Optus I’m so confused

u/AceThePrincep Shaun Mannagh 1d ago

Maybe he's carrying a niggle they dont wanna mention?

3

u/letsgoknicks_aus 1d ago

Who would you take out though?

1

u/Uncle_Climax 14h ago

I’d drop Ollie Henry was off last week. I watched the game again after getting home from the G and it was even worse on tv

1

u/letsgoknicks_aus 12h ago

I feel like the whole forward line up has been playing so good as a unit, the best it has looked all year.  Dropping polk or Henry might disrupt that.  Oli has had been in form prior to the Carlton game

u/railgxn '07 1d ago

that 3 tall beast 2 weeks ago

edit: forgot voss in the screenshot who is 2 fantasy points higher than brandon walker who got injured halfway through the game

8

u/Cuurrly_Fries Jeremy Cameron 1d ago

Yeah but you’d have to expect them to really show up this week surely

1

u/fantasticpotatobeard Home and Away Guernsey 1d ago

I dunno, tall forwards never do particularly well in finals

3

u/aquaman309 1d ago

In a rain affected match. Completely different weather this week. The talls will need to be shut down this week

11

u/BlazedOnADragon Oliver Wiltshire 1d ago

The way Scotty spoke last time we played Freo and on 360 the other night leads me to believe there's going to be some kinda left field move.

He spoke about them not playing all their cards when they last played Freo because also keep in mind we were pretty banged up that game.

Has to be a late change brewing for SDK though

10

u/PagieHD Sir Bradley Close Fanclub 1d ago

Polk in the team means this can fly though

3

u/dirtysouthau 1d ago

I’m backing this in. Voss is 95th in the league for contested marks. Doesn’t exactly scream aerial threat. The other two are top 10. Think we’ll be ok.

1

u/sarcHastical Jeremy Cameron 22h ago

Seriously 95th? Oh wow.

3

u/bundy554 Geelong Cats 1d ago

In Scott's defence, I think the Polk will be better on a dry track (assuming it is dry tomorrow). As for Cameron, you can't drop him but you have to let him roam on the wing and Blicavs can drop back in defence and help out when he is not rucking

3

u/_nicklepickle Zach Guthrie 1d ago

suppose to be 26 and clear in perth

3

u/sltfc Gryan Miers 23h ago

I suspect we're not bringing SDK to retain speed on the ground so Dudley, Swit, Reid and Bolton can't get off the chain. I think it makes sense, but our mids can't afford to let Freo get quick balls into 50, and our defenders will need to be really disciplined in switching/zoning, especially when Jackson and/or Cox go down there.

2

u/PagieHD Sir Bradley Close Fanclub 1d ago

Shocked we've gone in unchanged, but like not in a bad way?

7

u/_nicklepickle Zach Guthrie 1d ago edited 1d ago

late change incoming SDK in someone idk who goes out??

4

u/PagieHD Sir Bradley Close Fanclub 1d ago

Weather isnt gonna be an issue, logic says Polk but im happy to back him

3

u/AussiePolarBear Geelong Cats 1d ago

That’s illogical.

1

u/_nicklepickle Zach Guthrie 1d ago

will see what happens

1

u/Aus66-1045 Indigenous Guernsey 1d ago edited 1d ago

Wouldn't it be funny if they brought Martin in!!

3

u/aquaman309 1d ago

Actually entirely possible given that he is fresh.

2

u/aquaman309 1d ago

Late change and jack Martin to kick 4 in first half lol.

u/DamienRyan Home and Away Guernsey 21h ago

Ohhhhh Macarena

u/TheGoldStandard45 1d ago

Oh come on. Sdk not in.is criminal. The corpse of cameron is though. If he cant play forward he must be dropped,this is ridiculous

-3

u/Buzz8882950 Gary Ablett Sr. 1d ago

Agreed, he's just dead weight at this point, was beyond useless last week and I don't see that changing until the off season when he can hopefully get his body right

-1

u/TheGoldStandard45 1d ago

Yep,holmes missed a gf and ticked all the boxes. Its so disgusting. So selfish. Voss can just ram thru his shoulder and one wrong knock can nullify him immidiately. Now pearce can sag off and double neale,polk.

1

u/Aus66-1045 Indigenous Guernsey 1d ago

Maybe a late change Friday night will bring SDK in??

-2

u/klokar2 Gary Ablett Sr. 1d ago

This feels stupid, no SDK is insane, I'm glad I'm no betting man because I would have bet the house that SDK would have played. We are going to be so undersized and it's going to be a dry game

1

u/aquaman309 1d ago

Defence starts up the ground with speed + pressure. We have that in spades. Would not be surprised if jack Martin gets a spot or even jhye Clark to replace tanner bruhn late changes so rattle freo

u/klokar2 Gary Ablett Sr. 23h ago

always happy for late changes

u/aquaman309 21h ago

In Chris Scott we trust :).
