Well, we can put a line through Port challenging for the top 2.

Would be a defining win like Cats in Geelong 2013 IMOIf we beat the Hawks in Tassie, that would be a massive boost for the rest of the year.
Yep. The cattery held no more fears after that game.Would be a defining win like Cats in Geelong 2013 IMO
I reckon we need to test out our gameplan against them for finals.It would be awesome to get to the tassie game unscathed and a few games clear so we could send our Peel team down there, take the loss but gain the rest. It's a pipe dream at this stage though.
Much prefer to see Freo go full throttle up until the Carlton match in round 16, when player management can then become a consideration.It would be awesome to get to the tassie game unscathed and a few games clear so we could send our Peel team down there, take the loss but gain the rest.

No way. I'd rather test the team, see where we have improved and state our claim. It's in their territory and nothing like a win to get the wind in our sails. After Geelong 2013, the team/club changed from that day.It would be awesome to get to the tassie game unscathed and a few games clear so we could send our Peel team down there, take the loss but gain the rest.

Does anyone know if the dickhead WAFC have given Subiaco oval to rugby in September this year?

What we've seen since then is a Fremantle unlike any that's come before it, and all of the contenders dropping games they really shouldn't have. I don't think it was unreasonable to suggest it was too early to start making bold predictions.
We should make top 2 now (famous last words) - although you never know what could happen over the last 2/3 of the season.
I hope WCE keeps winning - as much for the laughs as anything else. Having the hawks and sydney having to scrap the way home works out nicely

It may prove to be unrealistic, but if the side can go undefeated until the Hawthorn match, and then beat Hawthorn, it puts the Hawks five games from Freo and in a very difficult spot to make top four. After that Freo only needs to win the remaining home games to secure top two, with the most difficult game being either the Derby or the last round against Port.
Good post. But what makes you think we'll rest players against the Hawks? I'd have thought Ross would want the best available team to try to get the 4 points and to test ourselves against the best.
Sorry Grape Bear, but there is no way we will gift a psychological advantage to a rival as good as Hawthorn so close to finals. That would be really, really dumb and Ross is anything but dumb
I believe our early form is better than others but we can get better. We are not the ultimate team but we only need to be better than the competition.
I also reckon we will get to the first bye undefeated. (12-0).

Reckon this will be the consideration for Ross. Will we go full tilt and try to pick apart their response, or will bring over Peel or play with the structures to try and screw with Clarko?
The problem with picking apart their response is that they can pick apart ours. I'm not sure that their gameplan has changed as much as ours has, so they have more to gain in playing us from a research perspective.
GWS - where do we think they will finish? They have a soft draw, and all the contenders will be stealing wins from each other through the 4th to 10th placings. 4-6th finish for mine. Bulldogs this week.... dogs have fallen fast, would love to watch this game with all the pace, skill and goals that will be on show.
