THE SIX POINTS

1. Brent Harvey was best on ground for the Kangaroos in their win over the Dockers in 2014. He had 29 disposals, five tackles and polled three Brownlow votes.

2. These two teams have laid the fewest tackles in 2015. Fremantle is ranked 17th in the AFL, averaging only 55, while the Kangaroos are 18th at 54.7 per game.

3. This will be the 25th meeting between the sides. North Melbourne has won 15 games to nine. Since 2009 the teams have four wins each.

4. The Dockers are the No.1 ranked defence in 2015 conceding only 65.5 points per game. The Kangaroos are ranked 12th conceding 93.8 points per game.

5. The Dockers have two of the top three ranked players for taking the ball inside 50 in 2015. Danyle Pearce is No.1 in the AFL with a total of 45 and Nat Fyfe is third with 41.

6. Todd Goldstein is the No.1 ranked ruckman on the Official AFL Player Ratings. Goldstein is ranked 11th overall. Aaron Sandilands is the third best ruckman, ranked 32nd overall.



Should be a great night. Fyfe's 100th and Pav's 650th game as captain. They have a few outs while we will be a little tired. Looking for some revenge after a loss to them last year which kinda resembled our year as a whole in alot of ways.

Go Freo!!

Great work LD, I'm heading out so will get in early.

Very confident of the win but Roos can play well on there day which could cause concern & has me worried a bit. In all that Fyfe to dominate, Zac to kick 3, McPharlin good in first game in a few weeks , & son son back to his best as well 2 goals & 3 assists. Freo by 3 goals

 

[Fireballs]

North by 16 points.

Big Footy Meet Up at 4.00pm at the Fire & Ice Bar in Subiaco. Then after game drinks in the Billy Walker room straight after the final siren.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

North by 16 points.

Damn it

 

[Proud SJW]

Ballantyne to silence the doubters and kick 3+

 

[yoong]

Freo by 50 at halftime.
18 at full time.

Freo by 50 at halftime.
18 at full time.

Just for once can we have the opposite? And I don't mean kangaroos by those margins

 

[gaskin]

Lets smash these pricks. If we don't get any rain then with North's injuries I expect a 10+ goal win. It'll probably be more like 5 goals in the end.

I think there's something wrong with your post

Tonight should be a good game. For Fremantle. As we go 8 & 0.

Fyfe to dominate
Pav to kick 6
Boomer to win a car & have a sook

 

[StingBitten]

Big Danger game.

 

[E Shed]

For some reason I can't shake the feeling the streak ends tonight. I'm hoping its just natural pessimism over believing that we can keep going undefeated. Its hard logically to see that they would drop on in Fyfe's 100 and with the respective strength of the squads.

 

[Mezz]

Hoping it's Freo by 100 (really, really hoping) but happy to do it by 1.

 

[Banker]

If we're going to drop a game it will be away from home. Certainly will be worried if we do considering the outs of NM.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Hmmm.... Definitely echoing the thoughts of others when I say I think the streak ends tonight.

If anyone has a working stream for this or any other game can you PM me the address please. Cheers.

Never fear - in an effort to curry favour with the footy gods I'm lending my seats to some friends who wanted to go as part of their anniversary weekend but couldn't get tickets. The universe definitely owes me a win in return.

Unless a travelling North supporter has given up their airline tickets for a sick child or something, then we're screwed.

[Square Peg]

With North's finances, the sick child was asked to donate that seat to a player so they could get 22 to the game
Freo by 2 goals, I'm assuming North will try a rope a dope and try and keep it close enough at 3 quarter time that they can run over us on a 8 vs 6 day break, but I think we'll find a way

 

[ROYISHUNGRY]

IT'S GAMEDAY BABY!! Time to get pumped up the only way I know how!!

Mr. Burns: Men, there's a little crippled boy sitting in a hospital who wants you to win this game. I know because I crippled him myself to inspire you.
Milhouse: (to his mom and dad) I hope they win, or Mr. Burns said he's coming back.

Emma Quayle must be feeling pretty embarrassed at the moment.

 

[youmewe]

Will you nervous nellies get a grip.

On exposed form Norf are on a par with Essendon.

We win by as far as we like.

Holy crap, is Emma Quayle taking the piss? I thought she knew a bit more about footy than that!

 

[Lost_Deputy]

I'm thinking we're gonna romp this one in TBH. I feel like a lot of the doubts are coming from last year. Pretty easy picturing us losing when we can all see the images in our heads of us losing to them. We are in a much stronger position this year tho. We didn't trip and wake up at 7-0.
