Game Day Rd 11 vs Naarm (Melbourne) @ MCG

[Snuffaluphagus]

Freo to give Bowey his first loss with Mundy goal after the siren win

 

[kingswood71]

Didnt realize it was a Saturday game!...Oh well. Mowing postponed then
I hope we just turn up ready to play. Tell me its not going to be wet?!!!
Us by 1 point....after storming home in the last 1/4 after being 19 points down at 3/4 time, with Colyer kicking a 60m point after being awarded a 50m just as the siren rings!!

 

[Kings of the State]

Two job interviews in Jackson and Brayshaw show us what you got boys, just not too hard please.

Freo to give Bowey his first loss with Mundy goal after the siren win

And it will be known as the David Bowey game.

I'll see myself out

 

[Deathly]

Oh boy..

 

[Wray27]

No one expecting a win, Melbourne on cruise control, our best pressure forward suspended.
I say this is absolutely a classic Freo moment.
Freo by 13pts.

 

[Scham]

Unfortunately, Dee's by 69. They'll have too much class and experience for us at this stage.

Inside 50 numbers and forward efficiency will be the interest today. This'll show how far we've come and how far we've got to go.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Confidence and faith is in the toilet after the last couple of weeks. Melbourne aren't exactly the side that will put us away either but will just blow us away and keep us at arms length: Making us believe we're closer than we really are. Shaping us yet another frustrating game.

It's nice and sunny and dry at the moment.

 

[Dockeroo]

Any word on Tabs fitness?
Any slim chance would be gone if he’s out

 

[Scham]

Also, the most important thing is that we get through this week without losing any key players because if we can, we'll beat Brisbane next week.

 

[kingswood71]

Unfortunately, Dee's by 69.

At least if its 69 they arent bending us over

 

[BStaff17]

It will be good to our one look at the MCG and see how our structures hold up before GF day.

 

[simpsonwillo]

$4.70 is good value for us today. if we can get our game back to playing like we were a month ago we are a genuine chance. the boys will come out swinging today.

 

[estibador]

I've probably got more of a glimmer of hope after our two losses in a row. If we'd won them Melbourne would see us as a genuine threat and come out to blow us off the park to make a statement. Now they might be a bit more complacent.

Mind you they'll probably still blow us off the park, I'm just desperately grabbing at any hope I can find.

I'd be surprised if the combined score for both teams exceeds this.

 

[Quazar]

It's time to respond after a lacklustre and frustrating fortnight - we didn't get to 7-1 because of a 'fluke'. Melbourne are considered the "team to beat" as reigning Premiers, but no one is unbeatable. Freo by 19 in a see-sawing classic

 

[ImperialPurple]

Ooohhh, hate to be a negative Nancy, but we ain’t beating Melbourne on their dung heap.

 

[Freo]

"If it bleeds we can kill it" to quote a classic.
It's a 2 horse race, we're a chance. A heap will need to go right including manic pressure and quick ball movement. Not going into our collective shell.
Today will reveal a fair bit about our Coach IMO

 

[Scham]

I'd be surprised if the combined score for both teams exceeds this.

You could very well be right but I suspect that even with McDonald out our backline will struggle to keep you to less than 90+, and our forward line ain't gonna get much of a look in and when we do we won't make the most of it.

I can see it being something like 30 to 15 at half time but then you blowing us away in the second half.

 

[silverscope]

No Rain today so we'll win.

 

[Scham]

Walker v Pickett will be good to watch.

 

[Bastyy]

neither team to score til 3 quarter time where lobb misses from point blank range

Freo win in the first ever 1-0 game

 

[noise36]

Love the misery in this thread...make the hurting stop freo!

Melbourne way to classy for a freo team that is out of form.

Hopefully we fight hard and show things are not as bad as it currently looks given the last two weeks.
