Game Day Fremantle v Port Adelaide Round 23

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Well I don't know about you guys, but I haven't been this pumped for a game since Round 1 v Collingwood.

This is a crucial clash and the Dockers of 2013 appear to be back with a vengeance.
Bring. It. On.

Dockers by 19, and I got a feeling Crozier is really going to step up today.

Just finished nightshift, so time for sleep and to spring out of bed at 1 o'clock to stream the game on laughably horrible site Wifi. Good hunting.

It all comes down to this. I know as a supporter who travelled to the GF last year, I desperately want them to get back there for another chance. I'm sure the players do too. We always hear Ross say that "it's just another game", but he hasn't this time. He has said "finals have come a week early" !!! That means he will be pumping this up like a final !!

Pressure and effort like we saw in the Sydney prelim last year will get it done

Port won't know what's hit them. They will have no space to work with and the will come undone

Freo by 40

Goooooooo freeeeeooo

I am scared!!....Like the GF last year, I have being up since 5am....to nervous to sleep!!
I think if we come out firing on all cylinders, the game could effectively be decided in the first 1/4....Sounds silly, but a big first 1/4....get a score on the board, then apply the manic pressure from then on....I dont mind going goal for goal for the last 3 quarters if we have a 5 goal lead @ 1/4 time

 

[Lost_Deputy]

My early pick is for Hill to dominate. Us by 20

 

[Tazmania]

This should be very different to the last time we played port. They were up and about and we hadn't hit our form like the last few weeks. Port last week played a bunch of witches hats which has their fans hopeful but I suspect it was a false dawn for them... Freon's form at the moment is looking ominous. Don't think they want to let the chance of another GF appearance slip away.

Going to the game, first time this season I reckon Dockers will win by 24+ points. It's going to be one of those games where the whole media circus jumps on the Freo bandwagon.

 

[Dark Wee]

I've been playing this game down a lot. But now that the day is here, can't help but think that it's going to tell us a lot about how we go in September.

 

[sansian]

I would be happy for a one point win, but i would absolutely LOVE a prelim type demolition

That's it,I'm punting on us over 25 now.

 

[Kram]

Pretty funny how everyone is on Port after them beating up on Carlton at home, hopefully we should win by a couple of goals.

 

[Schauermann]

Well, was generally expected to be an important game for both clubs, but probably nobody expected it to be that important for both.

 

[free at last]

Thank **** this is at home.

 

[simpsonwillo]

Could get ugly for Port

 

[purplepassion82]

I'm pumped for this game....will have to temper my energy levels, and no internet or social media after 1pm for me, in anticipation of the 2 freaking hour delay! Suppose I should use that time wisely....writing abusive emails to channel 7 perhaps??

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Heart says us by 12, head says port by 7.
Let's split the difference, Freo by 5!!!!

Wow that's s**t. Pub or a friend with Foxtel?

5 weeks ago, after our shocking loss to St Kilda
Among all the meltdown and panic, most of us looked ahead and go:
Geelong, Hawthorne and Port. We need to win at least 2 out of 3 to make top 4...
Well, here we are. Just 1 more crucial game to win and we are in! It's a good come back I have to say, but we'll still need to win this to finish the job.

At that point, we mistakenly thought that Port will be the easiest among the 3. Still not sure if the early season Port is really back, but the team better remember to bring along our A game, we'll need it.
The irresistible force meets the unmovable object. Have a feeling will be a game to remember in time to come, no matter what's the outcome. Hopefully, because we won

Early season Port is no 1 for scoring from defensive rebounds. And we usually find ourselves in trouble if the opposition manage to break out of our forward pressure, so I am tipping this is where the game will be won or loss. Hard 4 qtr effort of running and closing down gaps, no shortcuts today. And no mucking around in front of goal for goodness sake, slot the ball in between the big sticks so there is less defensive rebound opportunity for Port.

Here we go, the qualifying final qualifying game.

Carn Dockers!!!

 

[Tazmania]

I just think back two weeks to when we beat hawthorn convincingly and last week when port beat Carlolton convincingly and I know which result I put my faith in.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

A kick off Geelong, a Hawk's scalp and a training drill in Brisbane. We get this one and our form going into finals is as good as anyone's

 

[ozzie69]

I believe Ballas needs another five goals to get fifty for the H&A season - here's to a five goal game from Ballas!

 

[caramello]

Yes

Wow that's s**t. Pub or a friend with Foxtel?

terday it wasn't even listed on free to air, only foxtel
