Amiss reminds me of Fritz who BZT plays well on against Melbourne.
I like the match up.
Only problem is if Jackson plays forward BDB might want BZT on him instead.
See how we go. Shame Darcy will be back for the match.
We could potentially fall back to our original plans and play Langford from half back.
How are these wankers traveling? Been too busy laffing at west coast to care about them.

I haven’t really followed Freo this year, are we a decent chance of getting the job done in WA with how both teams look? Are they particularly good in an area?
BZT will not get dropped, you play him the rest of the year, let him see his areas he need improving, give him the chance to fix some this year and then give him the offseason to bulk up again and work on his craft, watch him go to another level next year, potentially this year.

Darcy coming back is a massive shame.
Has been pretty dominant this year
Have a spell in the VFL Dylan.
Get out of our midfield.
Season just about on the line for them.
we’ve been crying tears of blood because all we want is a deep midfield. now we have it, some of you want to play one of them in the 2s.
if parish & shiel are 100% fit, they play AFL every time.

If Parish is fit he plays AFL.

He probably stays in WA a extra day or two after the game (or before).
I wouldnt pay for flight and do the travel either if was heading to WA a week later and get club to cover flights.
Well, Darcy and their mids (Brayshaw & Serong) smashed us last year.
Now they’ve added a very good 2nd ruck in Jackson.
Of course, we are a far better side than the Merrett-less side devoid of any confidence in Rd.5 '22.
No Taberner to kick 7.0 this time, though Amiss is a promising young forward.
Jackson will be roaming around, and they do have dangerous small-med forwards.
Their tall backs are honest also.
Wont be a game for the long bomb.

When was the last time a mid of Parish’s quality played VFL after a soft tissue injury?

Thinking back to the Pies game if we had Merrett (ie not suspended for a tackle) do we win?
- Win
- Still lose

If Merrett was cleared at the tribunal before ANZAC Day, we probably should have had him play VFL to make sure the appeal didn’t impact his preparation.
In recent weeks they’ve beaten Hawks, Swans, Geelong, Melbourne before losing to Richmond (in Freo) on the weekend. They play GWS in Sydney this week while we have the bye.
And if Ridley wasn’t taken out by Rioli we’d have probably beaten Port also

Worth noting that their win against the Cats was during the period of all the cats injuries.
No Dangerfield, Duncan, Guthrie, De Koning, Oliver Henry, Stanley etc.
They haven’t belted anyone except for Hawthorn.
Beat the Dees by 7 points. Scrappy win but Freo did play well.
