TOPIC:

Well moving on to this weeks game we take on East Fremantle at Shark Park which hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us Demons supporters for almost a decade. We haven't won there since round seven, 2009, when we recorded a 13-point win. Since then we have lost 11 games in a row by an average margin of 35-points.

Clint Jones you would think should be available to play this week which will help the midfield. Michael Sinclair played reserves so he's another that could play and not sure about Devin McFarlane who didn't play on the weekend and I haven't heard whether he is injured or not.

Decade?
Try 50 years!!

That may be the case DF, but I was just going off since our last victory there.

You would think with Jones, Sinclair and McFarlane hopefully back into the team this should see us improve. Particularly Sinclair and McFarlane who prefer to kick rather than handpass.

Hypothetically, Sinclair, Jones and McFarlane are all fit, who makes way for these 3 from last weeks game?
Henderson, Cary and Johnson for mine.

Henderson probably yes as he was a late inclusion for Jones. Cary I can see being in and out of the team, form permitting. Johnson I'd like to persist with for another week to see how he responds. Maybe Edmonds is one that could make way.

Clint Jones is listed as a test for this week as is Michael Sinclair and Mitch League. Devin McFarlane is a week away with a hamstring injury. Sam Garstone has an ankle and Richie Bourne an abductor will both miss a week.

I’d be bringing in Jones if fit, Sinclair although I think he might need another week in the two’s and young ruckman Dakota Baldwin-Wright.

What has happened to Ben Power and Julian Jacobs. I heard they were both returning this season.
Also from an EF side, I believe Boekhorst was injured early last week and Schofield may have been reported. If they are both out we may have some sort of chance.

Power is listed as TBC on the injury list. As far as I know the Julian Jacobs returning to the team was only on rumour here on ozfooty. Never heard it anywhere else and I spoke to some people a lot closer to the club than me and they knew nothing either.

If there was any truth to this rumour why would they give Ninyette the number 8, which he wore in his second stint at he club, or give Taylor number 10, his first number at the club.

According to the EF thread BOB and Liam Anthony may have called it a day. We need all the help we can get.

The only hope we would have of beating East Freo is if they come out to cocky and think the 4 points are in the bag and then we would have to come out and blow them away in the first quarter.
Mmmm what are the chances of that happening.
Not great I would’ve thought.
