AFL 2019 Round 5: Greater Western Sydney v Fremantle, 1:45pm AEST UNSWCO

[joop]

St Kilda will be first if they defeat Melbourne

Haha COME ON

Matera LOL.

Spud with 4 goals.

He's always had the talent, has just grossly underachieved over the journey.

Should be a perennial 40+ goal per year small forward.

 

[Kram]

On track to be our best win in four years.

I'm generally more positive than most but thought we were no chance whatsoever today.

 

[projectv]

I really don't understand Freo.

Well played though.

 

[The Joker]

Hogan limping pretty heavy, not a good look!

 

[Macca18]

Some bathwater consumed at GWS during the week? From one of the best ever club wins to one of their worst (modern day) losses in a week...

Dockers have been fantastic though. Hope they go on with the job.

 

[Americanpies]

Freo are a competitive side who have been awful on the road. This is a huge win and possible turning point for them.

I actually thought they were a chance today, and not in hindsight... actually before the game started. Was considering a straight up gamble, but took that big line instead. Was very confident they would not get blown out today.

As per my previous post... Fyfe back, Hogan, Walters, Lobb, etc... GWS is was obvious favorite.. I'm not denying that, but I didn't picture Freo losing by more than a few goals, and possibly getting the win. Lyon is a defensive freak, and GWS is pretty one dimensional with Cameron as their only real forward option. Himmelberg is still young, and Greene is out.

In hindsight... I'm actually surprised GWS is going so well this year with the limitations in their forward line. Their midfield is that strong, they have been dragging them over the line. Was only a matter of time before they were exposed like this.

So many hypotheticals going through my head which make St Kilda, Gold Coast and Freo the three best teams in the comp...

Head hypotheticals are more real than they seem...

If Freo hold on, Saints and Suns win, and the Cats lose, than the top four will consist of Freo, GC and St Kilda.

Edit - Regardless of Cats result all three will be top 4 if they win.

Melbourne are (undeservedly, IMO) hot betting favourites in this one. I feel like the Saints could get up.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Don’t think I’ve seen a worse exhibition of umpires bouncing the ball in the middle.

Just throw it up.

 

[SSwans2011]

GWS with a s**t performance just in time to make a statements against us next week.

 

[Latour]

What a huge upset...who would ever expect this. Goes to show the main factor in winning games now is what team shows up on the day.

None if the above.

A footy season has great wins and terrible losses. Twas ever thus.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

The Gold Coast experiment is dumber... GWS can grow over time. Gold Coast on the other hand........... NBL, NRL, A League have all failed there..... why does the AFL think it will be any different?

Arrogance.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

Absolutely nuts, fair play Freo

 

[its free real estate]

I'm generally more positive than most but thought we were no chance whatsoever today.

I’m at the game getting absolutely baked in the sun. Worth it.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

If there's one thing the AFL has done right, it's equalisation. Anyone can beat anyone on their day, except for Carlton and Adelaide.

If Freo hold on, Saints and Suns win, and the Cats lose, than the top three will consist of Freo, GC and St Kilda.

Supporters of those sides will probably just take the wins without questioning it, but I guess the query is how much is to do with them being good, and how much is to do with their opposition not playing up to their ability/potential?

Like, is it a genuine "change" to which teams are good and which aren't, or are "the real good teams" losing matches they should be winning?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

GWS leaving us wondering how good they are.

 

[The Joker]

Our Holden Gemini midfield was way to good for their Ferrari 488GTB midfield!

 

[its free real estate]

I know Taberner has made a few errors, but he’s close to best on imo.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

The GWS experiment unfortunately won’t work.

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed are you?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Great win Freo

Comp is so even.

Fair argument to say Taberner has been BOG

 

[Colonial]

Well done Fremantle. We were absolutely horrible.

Well done to Freo, too good today.
