0-2 and in trouble to start season 2023, Fremantle will be hoping a Western Derby clash with arch-rivals West Coast can spark their season to life. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:20pm (AEST).
If the Dockers’ surprise loss to St Kilda in Round 1 didn’t ring alarm bells, their one-point loss to North Melbourne on home soil last week certainly did.
Struggling to score and with an out of form midfield, Justin Longmuir has plenty of issues to address for the 2022 semi-finalists. He has reacted at the selection table by omitting Will Brodie in a shock move.
The Eagles go in unchanged after defeating GWS last week, their first win since midway through 2022.
Will that prove a kick-starter for a West Coast resurgence, or will it be the Dockers to claim a fourth consecutive Derby win?

NO CHANGE

Why was there no Peel game for Brodie and the others? There's no reason why WAFL hasn't started already.

Give his mind a rest Dr Rotcod. The man struggles with the meaning of "largely".

Jackson would be brilliant for all clubs. He was excellent on Sunday

Never once have I contemplated that. Strange question.

If you want to challenge what I've said, then I suggest you back it up, rather than drawing some warped conclusion from your statistical analysis of a few players to suit your narrative.
Doctor Rotcod

Ginbey leads for tackles in the competition. When the Eagles had Long, Chesser, Hewett and Ginbey all on the ground at the same time I was happy and unhappy at the same time. There’ll be at least four more inexperienced players (less than ten games) suiting up next week. Melbourne will be a lot better than Freo, so I hope we only lose a litre of blood.

So you'd self-describe as an ultracrepidarian without a moment's hesitation?

Petula Clark, Scorpio vixen, was mine. Then Sally Field, another one. Loren is Virgo= smouldering appeal. They keep a secret fire burning.

They do eat faeces and have a caecum but no cloaca. Everyone needs a little Latin on a Monday morning. Sophia Loren was my first crush.

Where is epistemology in this exchange? Words are my profession.

Certainly not you on anything medical.

Yes Brodie has to come back.

Is that what rabbits lay? Hot Cross Bunnies. In year 4 l asked my teacher why aren't rabbits monotremes. They lay eggs and they're a mammal.
Doctor Rotcod

Congrats Dockers. Shame the coaches put away their slingshots after the highest scoring first quarter in Derbies.

Or your eggs until they're crossed

There is a little fish with backward pointing spines that swims up the yellow stream. Likes to live in the urinary tract of mammals.

Says he... Epistemology is my area of research. Stick to cricket if you want to pontificate.

And had seven players injured, including Cripps who had the big galoot Cox fall on him and break his ankle.

I never said players haven't had to deal with it in the past. I simply said it's not common, nor do we see acute injuries involving the plantar fascia requiring players to leave the pitch, unlike you, who believe it is. Currently 762 players represent the AFL players association. I'm only aware of one player at present out with plantar fasciitis, nor can a remember the last player before Fyfe sidelined with this condition. For your reference: https://www.afl.com.au/matches/injury-list All those other foot injuries are either joint or fractures. You can check each one if you like for your own development. You will also notice Fyfe has a specific diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, unlike any other player currently on their clubs injury list. So no, it's not a common injury in the AFL and it's even more rare to see someone come off the field with an acute injury of the plantar fascia. Cam was spreading false information about concussions the other day, so my best advice is think for yourself and don't believe everything you read on this site.
