Game Day Freo v Pies (warning, may contain David King meme)

Time to put the big boy pants on Freo.
The big stage. The best team in the land. The biggest, most feral crowd.
Win this & we come of age.

Guess I better get out of bed and go to the MCG then

I'm assuming we'll end the day as either a true premiership threat, or a boring, soulless, direction-less team in dire need of a new coach.

Make sure you watch First Crack to find out which one we are!

Are you expecting overreactions? I am shook.

Are you expecting overreactions? I am shook.

The reactions are always balanced and reasonable. Just ask any of the people providing them

This could be the day that we push through.
It could be the day that all our dreams come true.
…
Well, are we getting closer?
Will we ever get there?
…
Nothing ever changes
…
Everything is changing.

A close loss would be acceptable.

We need to bank wins against Eagles, Carlton and Port.

Win one of Lions or Bulldogs. I would be aiming for Lions at home. Bulldogs away may be too hard.

I'll be at the MCG cheering the boys on today. First time seeing Freo at the G, hope it's a cracker. I want to hear the freOOoo chant

I’m quietly confident about this game

I want to see us even clearance,contested ball and win the tackle count please.

I’ve said I won’t change my opinion on JL based off one game but that might change if we win today. It’s going to take more than one quarter today.

It’s basically a free hit for you. All of our other games in Victoria this year have been arse so if we get up today then you can consider yourself a good luck charm.

Dream last night was that we were eight points up 1:40 left on the clock in the 4th.

I hope they've been practising the close finishes

 

[Quazar2]

Hopefully Freo are up for the fight again. Win this and the confidence lift could open up doors previously closed, who knows....massive game, about to find out (well, a bit later!) if they have the bottle.

Carn lads, get it done!

I’m not the most positive poster on here but I think a lot on here would agree we don’t want to be relying on us winning against the Bulldogs to make finals.

Either way I think we’re going to know by then. If we lose one of those three games and lose the expected we won’t make it. Feel like someone will mess it up by then if we win those three games tbh - winning a fourth probably gets us a home final which will be a lot of fun.

No bigger test than pies at MCG, win against the odds and anything is possible, lose and it will just feel like more of the same, a team that isnt ready to be serious yet.

 

[Lach72]

Just don’t play like shit

That’s all I ask. Play well, and we lose, we lose. If we turn up our toes St Kilda style I’ll lose my shit

I'm booking my flights for the 2025 and 2026 grand finals.

As an ex-moderator I expect you to act with grace and decorum.

Go batshit crazy on Twitter though.
