Rd. 13 - St. Kilda vs. Freo @ Telstra Dome, Friday 20.06.08.

[MadMac]

Freo dented North's finals hopes last week and I'm expecting we'll do the same to Saints' slim finals hopes. Freo may have bad record at Telstra Dome but history counts for nothing this time. Steven Dodd made the trip to Melbourne at the expense of Mark Johnson.

Freo by 21 pts.

[jonoman89]

Freo now have confidence, meaning they are a pretty dangerous side. Expect them to play 4 qtrs and get a win over the Saints.

[St Specky]

Come on Saints!

If we lose this is I will be filthy. This is a must win. Hopefully the Dal Santo and Milne omittions get the players performing to keep their spot!

Either Freo by 6 goals or Saints in a tight one.

[bipolarbeaR]

I have this listed as a draw. Its going to be an incredible game! :)
Good luck both teams!

[j0nni]

Meh I dunno which Freo side will turn up, just hoping for a freo win :) lol

[FFC_]

i've decided i am going to go into every one of the remaining freo matches to purely enjoy watching them play and not let worrying about the result get in the way. We win, great! We lost, we'll end up lower on the ladder, also great!

Go Me! :p

No change

Head to Head:

St. Kilda - $2.45
Fremantle - $1.53

Freo are favourites but all the pressure lies on St. Kilda. Bringing in 3 debutants isn't gonna be easy but i expect a late call up for one Nick Dal Santo. Main factor is Freo playing away from home.

Saints by 24. :thumbsu:

[MadMac]

Is that part of the tactics that Dal Santo will be late inclusion?

[CHBench]

Just a guess but it happens every week, why would Dal be an emergency? Btw Harvey's the one in doubt.

[shiny_on_top]

i think dal will come in:thumbsd::(

[mellowyellow]

Tempted to pick freo but they've stung me to many times in the past, so saints...just.

[siamang]

freo by 30, pav 5 goals.

[Biggie]

Freo to shit it in.

They got the win that was needed imo.

[Inzy]

Freo now have confidence, meaning they are a pretty dangerous side. Expect them to play 4 qtrs and get a win over the Saints.

haha no offence but reading 'expect freo to play 4 qtrs' cracked me up

[lynchy23]

LOL aparently out Harvey in Dal

[jdp1]

I expect Saints to bounce back and win this one for some reason. Well really I just have zero faith in the Dockers - esp in Melbourne.

There will be a live game diary at Die Hard Footy.

[Kildonan]

There is NO CHANCE Dal will be playing seniors this week.
If there is a late withdrawal, Birss or Howard will come in.

[Freo1995]

According to 6PR, one punter has laid $50.000 on Freo at $1.96 :eek:

[TassieSaint]

Jeff Farmer is the worst diver in the AFL

[Jex]

That free to Gilbert is a great example of why our great game isn't so great anymore. Pathetic.

[ep2006]

Dockers you bunch of ____ing tryhards. You can't just flop because you're expected to win; how are you expected to win a premiership?

[TassieSaint]

I wouldn't be too worried mate, we've won most of the first quarters this year. Expect Freo to dominate us for 2 and a half quarters and then us to get some cheap goals in junk time to disguise the thrashing

[kizzaob]

dockers goal from poor free

[jdp1]

Why are people so down on the Saints? Even though they have lost 3/4 it wasn't like they were losing to inferior teams.

Just because they aren't the premiership contenders people expected at the start of the year all of sudden everyone thinks that Freo are better?

[ep2006]

Palmer gives Saints a goal. :thumbsd:

why did i tip them!

such a good list, that just doesn't try! ____en hell freo!

[TassieSaint]

____ me these umpires are shithouse, and I'm talking about that free against Grover.

[TassieSaint]

Cheap shot by Warnock

[Lenny29]

Damn. Was hoping for a few punches thrown.

[Archie Jnr]

Damn. Was hoping for a few punches thrown.

From these two teams ? :confused:

More like bitch slaps.

[Pumbi]

Hahaha Mcevoy. That was classic.

[TassieSaint]

Hahaha Mcevoy. That was classic.
Gotta feel sorry for him. Not how most people imagine their first touch in AFL :p

[WCE57]

What did Warnock do?

[Pumbi]

Gotta feel sorry for him. Not how most people imagine their first touch in AFL :p

His first official touch wasn't a bad kick at all. Not quite as good as Farmer's early on though.

[sens_bombers]

Hayes getting work on his right hammy at the break...

[TassieSaint]

What did Warnock do?
Ball was backing back to take a mark. Warnock jumped to spoil but ended up collecting him head high with his hip. Should get weeks

[Belnakor]

is palmer injured?

[Cousin Jed]

Its not hard to tell that neither of these teams are going to play finals.

Thanks TassieSaint :thumbsu:

[kizzaob]

frustrating game

[Ferris_rules]

Freo is the biggest joke in the AFL.

The biggest underachieving club there is.

Maybe the Crows should trade McLeod at the end of 2010 for Pavlich ! lol

[Mingo]

Score update please?

[Jafa]

39-24.

Freo with the last 2.

You're telling me. Hayes was absolutely dominating before his injury.

Aints really need to do something about the Pav here.

[Cousin Jed]

Imagine how good Palmer will be when he figures out how to kick a football.

[sens_bombers]

Gees we have played ordinary ...if we can just put a quarter together we will blow this game apart.

I mean kicked last 5 goals and we still look average.

[Inzy]

Is there any 'marquee' player in the league who has less impact than Riewoldt? Seriously you'd look at his stats and think he's having a big one, but he's had very little influence on the game as a whole

[anti.]

ryley is dunn and dusted.

Goal Goddard ...first in a quarter but still there.

[Moo]

McPharlin off injured......

[Swish]

ryley is dunn and dusted.

for those with no radio, tv access are you saying he is injured or has got has retired to the bench unbeaten with 2 possessions in a BOG performance?

[Inzy]

15 touches, 12 marks with 1 goal.

not too bad really.

That's my point tho - he racks up the stats, but has hardly been damaging

[anti.]

make it 2 goals.

and the rankings have him only behind pavlich as the best player on the ground.

[ep2006]

Here comes the Freo tank.

[thejester]

Would I be right in thinking this has been one of the worst games of footy ever?

[Cousin Jed]

Yes.

Has Palmer ever kicked a ball that isn't a shank?

[RogerMellie]

From a West Coast supporter ...please.

You ...stones ....glass ...house

[celtic_pride]

Freo win this one (which hopefully they will) season over for the Saints you would think ..

btw nice move dropping Dal Santo and Milne Rosco ... I reckon that move could seriously backfire on him and St.kIlda tonight ..

Anyone still bagging Riewoldt?

[Cousin Jed]

Riewoldt goals after perhaps the worst 5 minutes of play I have ever seen.

Fat Lady. She's over.

I was hardly bagging him, just saying he hasn't had that big an impact. Vital goal then however

St Kilda back in the 8 tonight.

[Cousin Jed]

St Kilda are playing an 18 man defence, and they have only kicked 8 goals.

Chances of another 2? Nil

Our definition of bagging differs then.

I'll give you unlikely. :p

[Moo]

Do we know we are behind?

[Cousin Jed]

They won, but St Kilda are still kidding themselves.

[Moo]

Well done Saints ...you were less crappier!

Hope both our seasons pick up.

Nick and Harves - champs. Pav - champ. that was the difference.

[TassieSaint]

Oh thank the lord. Lenny injured and a loss to Freo would have just about meant my coffee table through the wall. Well done Fremantle on a close game.

[Moo]

Fremantle = Worst team in the AFL. :thumbsu:

Yes, yes EP we lost.

Now take your box of tissues and off to your room to finish off your great Fri night.

[ep2006]

No premiership for Freo, next year or the year after. :thumbsu:

Not when you play that shit game after game, year after year. :)
