Changes for the Freo game?

Some sore tired bodies after that one.

Cotch copped a whack on the ankle from the goalpost but he believes it's just a corky.

Fire away with your changes, if any?

Same for me. I like Higgins and he’ll be a great player but young players will be inconsistent and I thought our forward press was lacking today. We really missed a presence like Townsend’s in the forward line whether he’s playing well or not.

I thought Conca and Graham were average but could probably let them try and play into some form until Rioli is ready and the side needs to be reshuffled.

Was Houli a turnover king or was that my imagination?

McIntosh had a shocker. Menadue deserves a game on the wing

Agree. Thought this a few weeks back. McIntosh needs a spell and we need to give someone else a crack on the wing.

Only issue is Menadue had a pretty poor game kicking wise in the VFL.

I am still trying to work our why he was dropped, unless he is carrying a niggle.

The Fremantle back line will love having to come off a Derby knowing that Townsend is waiting.

While the Tigers escaped without injury, Hardwick predicted the five-day turnaround after playing on Anzac Day eve could soon catch up to his side, with Fremantle to come next Sunday at the MCG.

"I reckon next week is where we'll start to see the damage from the encounter, so to speak. We've had two really tough games so we'll nurse our boys through," Hardwick said.

Personsally, I think we'll pull up ok against the Dockers and the game against n0rf is the one where it will catch up with us and we'll be flat as a tack. I'm sure n0rf have been marking that one out on their sunny role fixture for months  :shh

I thought Higgins was superb again with 9 contested possessions as well as pressured very well too.

I thought Conca was poor and Macintosh Had a terrible game, whilst Martin and Prestia butchered the ball especially in the first half.

Id drop Macintosh amd Conca.

Menadue had shocker yesterday too - and both players like to kick it to nobody in particular so it would be like for like... :shh
