ON THE BLOCK: Not too many players deserving of the axe for the Pies after a patchy but still ultimately comfortable 45-point win over Brisbane. Matt Scharenberg wasn't eye catching but slotted in well in his 16-possession performance, while the borderline selections like Jarryd Blair pulled their weight. ON THE CUSP: The Pies will be waiting for some of their wounded stars to return from injury rather than desperate to ring the changes. Josh Daicos was concussed in last week's VFL game, with no game for the Pies VFL side this weekend. James Aish is a fortnight away with his broken cheekbone, while Travis Varcoe and Ben Reid are both more than a fortnight away. So the Pies could go unchanged against Fremantle given the backline held up well. Henry Schade was dropped from the side for Scharenberg. JON RALPH'S FORECAST: The Pies are 4-6 and at last within touching distance of the eight. Their last-gasp loss to GWS is both more meritorious and more painful given the past fortnight. The form of the Giants against West Coast was awesome — showing just how hard they are to beat — and a win against GWS would have put the Pies 5-5 and right in the mix. The Pies have lost their past five games at Subiaco Oval despite a reputation as a solid travelling side. But despite the inconsistent nature of the win over Brisbane, the midfield is in form and intact and the forward line is showing promise again. Alex Fasolo is at least getting the ball despite 2.4, Darcy Moore took 10 marks, Jamie Elliott is in fine form and Daniel Wells is the silk. |
