Game Day Freo v Lions - Round 14

[jedi mind tricks]

I'm predicting a win.

 

[Kram]

Wife bought me a couple of tickets to the game but the seats are behind the goals with no shelter so thinking I might stay home and watch.

What are you, a Victorian?

 

[Kram]

Well we'll win this but we're not very good at these top v bottom of the ladder battles.

Watch the melts on here if we only get up by 40 points or something.

 

[gaskin]

Should win by 20 goals.

Freo by 27.

You do know it's a winter sport, right?

 

[free at last]

Looks like it's pelting with rain out towards Rotto, could be slippery and wet game now!

 

[elsleevador]

Taking my son to his first game. Please let the rain hold off. Surely a late change if it doesn't!

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Whoops, just noticed the thread title. Apologies. If one of the mods could tidy it up it'd be appreciated.

Cheers!

Awesome! Hope he loves it. Took my son to his first game last year. He enjoyed looking and listening to the crowd more than the footy.

 

[Seppo]

Freo by 11 points for the lulz.

Suban or T-Train for BOG also...

Your love affair for Tommy continues.

Is there some kind of rule we aren't allowed to play in dry weather this year? C'mon footy Gods!

Last I heard it's gonna be raining in Tassie. That gives us five games in wet conditions in a row before taking on the Hawks who have mostly dry games. Maybe the footy gods are with us.

Who would you change him for?

 

[Rob]

Some pretty dark clouds coming from the west.

Late change imminent.

I'm in Melbourne at the moment, but the BOM radar only suggests a few scattered showers around Rotto - does it look like it could get heavier once it hits the coast?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Freo by 30 in a truly forgettable game. Hoping to see the forward line work a bit better

Rotto had 12.6mms of rain between 10.30 and 12.30 today.

It's raining heavily now, and i'm about 5km from Subi Oval.

Mzungu and Crozier both played yesterday, so a late change for a small would be Sutcliffe in. Which tall to miss out? Perhaps A. Pearce?

Taberner or Clarke are the obvious choices.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

No changes.

De Boer sub.

 

[silverscope]

If our forward line clicks we'll win by 100. If we continue to struggle we'll probably only win by about 30-40.

Either way we win today, no excuses not to.

 

[go_the_dockers]

How is the weather looking?

Ross likes horses for courses. Pav has struggled in the wet this year. I wonder if Ross will throw a few curve balls at the selection table at the last minute given the expected torrential rain.

 

[Righteo]

Well this is going to be a real grind now, Freo by 40 in a brutal and scrappy affair.
