Snuffaluphagus Tonga Bob I think it's been a couple of years for me since I did one, mark me down for round 7 vs the Western Bulldogs
Johnson hasn't been good and I think Brodie is better than JOM as relief for Fyfe in the middle.So apparently Johnson & JoM trained with Knobel and the peel group.

So it appears that I've finally caught up to this and not sure if its been mentioned but i find it kind of strange that our first 5 opponents are teams that beat us last season. What are the odds of that happening?
Adelaide beat us convincingly last season through complete midfield dominance. Our midfield will have to be on song and negate their bigger bodies. Having Fyfe and Young in there will go a long way.
We've shown we have the fire-power to score rapidly so I'd like to see that continue. Please turn up for 4 quarters!

Matthew & Jaeger were getting into Max for not having a BigFooty buddy. Sad to see.So apparently Johnson & JoM trained with Knobel and the peel group.
[turns to camera]
BigFooty are on the ground right now but we need your help to find Max Knobel a buddy.
That is old freo.. this team has embarked on the decade of dominance. We are going to give them an old fashioned spanking this Friday. I am expecting a win in the 7-8 goal range at least.
When I say old fashioned I mean in the way my dad would say 'do that again and you will get a hiding!' Then he would say 'It will be a real good hiding!' I always wondered how a hiding could be good, let alone real good. However, his message was clear and on the occasions I ignored him, he made good on his promise. Which is why I am the fine, upstanding gentleman I am today!
The team is building for this game, priming to hand out a smack down. We have the better spine and midfield. They won't be able to go with Jackson, because no one can. He is only starting to realise he can dominate games. Sharp will kick two from the wing and Amiss will kick five on the night. Treacy will intimidate and chip in with three and Jackson will kick two or three, which seems easy for him. The other five can be spread around.
Adelaide are going to wish they stayed home. I quite like the crows. But, unlike my dad, who would tell me this was for the best in the long run, before providing said hiding. Adelaide's season won't recover from the beat down. Not their fault of course that they will be stuck as a middling team for the next five years, while we go on to premiership glory. They are just a team unlucky enough to be trying to rise while we have begun our decade of dominance.
I can't wait for Friday. For the first time I am looking forward to a real good hiding. Adelaide will wish they never made the trip over.

These are the games we have been losing badly.
Mediocre competition when the spotlights on us nationally.
If we win I will start flagmantlling.
These are the games we need to win.

Well Tabs took three marks and kicked 2 goals. Does it really matter who kicks them?. Amiss missed most of his goal kicking opportunities so it seems Tabs wasn't in his way then.

If we are going to rest Fyfe/sub him out, can we please play Brodie 
he is the most like for like player we have. We need to have a plan B for Fyfe and Brodie could be the answer. I'm keen to see if he has improved at all.

I don't understand why he was so overlooked last season. With two short breaks in a row, we are going to need fresh legs.If we are going to rest Fyfe/sub him out, can we please play Brodie
the more I think about it, they might simply be resting Johnson - the entire team must be exhausted after short breaks, flights, and dealing with time zones (DLS)So apparently Johnson & JoM trained with Knobel and the peel group.
Every came Freo play is a danger game where things can go pear shaped unexpectedly. Hopefully not this game as Adelaide are an average team and are very poor on the road.
If we play a decent game and have a decent first quarter we should win this by about four goals
