I think we got it right when we played them, tag Selwood let Rory run with Danger. Danger doesn't defend so if you have an A grade midfielder who gets the same amount of ball as him, he will be more effective. Selwood is much more damaging with his possessions so if you can stop one of them having 30 it's selwood.
Well we lost. And Dangerfield has gone up a gear since then.

I'm actually most worried about Menzel. Think he is the key to their scoring. But if anyone knows the value of tagging danger it has to be us. Unless we're just being stubborn.

You never show all your cards but I'd like to think we played he and Selwood well despite their numbers. Paddy went at 38%

Think our boys will really set themselves for the game down at the cattery.

Would be a real feather in the cap if we get close. Bring it on!
We're a chance if we put the foot to the throat and take care of the next 4. We'd go in on the back of 8 in a row.

Perhaps we should focus on Thursday night first.

That does have zero to do with how he played those 100 games though.
He was a vital part of those.

Yep. As it turns out, Fremantle are also missing their two best ruckmen (Sandilands and Griffin), their two best key defenders (Johnson and Pearce), and while they aren't missing a "gun" (questionable in the case of Schulz) key forward, they are missing the best player in the competition.

Excuses, excuses
He jumped on me on Twitter when I listed Freo's outs. Didn't like it at all lol.

That wasn't my point.
If you had put that first though.
