Preview 2024 Round 2 Freo v Roos

[poshman]

I just flop it out and she’s putty in my hands. Simply irresistible.

haha this is gold! On the phone to mum when I read this... she wants to know what I am laughing at!

 

[freo1997]

If we can go 4-2 after the eagles games we are a shot at top 4 have to go 3-3 minimum to be a chance at top 8
You’d think we beat Roos and eagles then have to pinch one against blues and crows

We should take Adelaide at home. More confidence in that then tomorrow.

I think 4-2 will be worse case scenario and we are an even bet to be 4-1.

She doesn’t go to Empire bar or Universal by any chance?

Nah I’m a lot more confident tomorrow then Adelaide

Roos don’t have a good fwd line so our depletion in the back line is manageable crows have a very good fwd line

 

[FreoGirl]

I understand the concern as it has been an issue in the past. However, we are a different team now on a different level.

26 hours from now it will be party time and I will be chasing the wife around the house!

I thought we had something going

Reading the threads on the Roos board about this game, they seem to be very optimistic of beating us or just delusional...hmmmm

An away game at a strange hour of the day with a few more players out - it's always a risk, unfortunately.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

He didn’t play in the finals series?

Yes. Because they picked a 2-gamer ahead of him.

 

[freo1997]

Totally agree but then proceeded to play him rd 1 following year.

Yes, I am happy they are feeling enthusiastic. Soon they will lament as Jackson and Amiss have their way with them. Let them have their joy, for now.

it's still very arrogant

Hopefully the club plays back the footage of rd 2 last year to get the guys furious.

 

[Spirit Level]

Still can't fathom the Tabs selection.

Surely if there's a place to play smaller it's the dome.

I think it's more about the opposition. Their key defensive stocks appear thin at best.

I'd be telling him to not leave the goal square and to continually stand in front of Amiss' man...and when that's not happening, mark the high ball.

 

[FreoGirl]

I think it would be cocky of NM not to tag Serong

 

[FreoMatt]

There’s a lot of interest in how our key defenders go this week.

Last week it was hogan 6, Riccardi 3 and Cadman 2. It’s a new defence but I think it lines up like this

Amiss 196cm - Dawson 196cm

Tabener 197cm - Pink 194cm

Treacy 195cm - Corr 194cm

I think if it’s lines up like that Tabs could have a field day, kick 4 from the square

Exactly. Chose a 18yo with 1 or 2 games under his belt to play instead of Tabs.

 

[FreoMatt]

No better team for Draper to debut against. I’d say his opponent will be Coleman-Jones who in my imo is a

I’m tipping there will be a lot of posts after this game saying why didn’t we debut Draper earlier. I think he will develop quickly

Possibly.

We are very interested to see how pink goes (and Dawson).

 

[JammoMonty]

Based off last week alone, North, Blues, Pies are definitely more winnable now than they were in preseason.

North can’t run out a game
Blues seem to have the wood over us
Pies have no McStay replacement

Yep. Who's going to stop this guy?

 

[freo1997]

Exactly. Chose a 18yo with 1 or 2 games under his belt to play instead of Tabs.

But then played tabs rd1 last year and now rd2 this year over Voss who’s got time on his side and agility.

Feel like the door should remain shut, yet still ajar.

He might do well this weekend and get 3 or 4. Could even back it up next week and contribute.. but at the end of the day he won’t remain in the 23 for too long. Just don’t see why he plays this weekend after showing next to nothing.

Yep. Who's going to stop this guy?

Teams will start honing on him physically and intimidate him. Our fwds need to protect him.
