[Grand Uncle Horace]

Should be a cracking game.

Hopefully the future mids start seeing more midfield time. Pedlar, Rachele, Rankine all first rounders. Soligo to needs time in there.

100%
Blind Freddie can see that they can’t play Laird and Crouch in the same midfield, let alone Berry who has now been dropped. Will be interesting to see if they start moving Laird out of the rotation a little in favour of those names you mentioned. He can play elsewhere, Crouch really can’t.

You looked miles better last year when Rachele/Rankine were injecting some explosiveness through the middle.

 

[Shai]

Interesting game from a semi neutral pov ( I like Freo and quite a few of their players).

I think Freo win this in a hard fought out finish because of the relatively inexperienced Crows backline.

 

[The 747]

The Dockers pretty comfortably IMO

 

[ep2018]

Curious how the consecutive six day breaks affect freo tonight. Reckon the crows can win if they finally show up this season.

 

[Lethal09]

Crows season in the balance tonight

Adelaide by 15 points.

 

[Mesc]

If Freo have another slow start then it will be a Crows victory. Adelaide by 8 points . If Freo get the ball rolling from the get go then they should win by around 23 points .

Players to watch for a Jake Soligo Award nomination tonight:

Jake Soligo
A footballer's footballer, the consummate professional with skills to boot. Just watch this future triple Brownlow Medallist has elite decision making (a real juxtaposition to his coach in this space), great hands and is usually clean with his disposal.

The reigning, and inaugural, 2023 Jake Soligo Award winner is looking to go back to back and tonight is the type of game he will stand out in. Why? Because Nicks is a moron and will likely play dumb footy. Judging by his last 2 weeks (half a game first week and didn't he make Nicks look stupid) he is a player who won't play that stupid brand and knows fast footy is winning footy so keep an eye out for no. 14 tonight.

Other Nominees:
Literally any young Freo player as they will likely be made to look like a rockstar because when Nicks' Plan A doesnt work (and why would slow chip footy ever work in the modern day?) He moves directly to....doubling down on Plan A. Tom Stewart filled up, Luke Ryan might just be eyeing some Brownlow votes of his own tonight.

I didn't know Adelaide brought back the old school guernsey.

Crows fans going the way of Port fans about their coach.......

why did Freo get rid of the sea shanty men signing group for the stupid guitar guy on the roof

 

[aussierulesrules]

Crows next two games:

Dees in Adelaide
Carlton in Melbourne

Could very very easily start 0-5

 

[CakeEater]

why did Freo get rid of the sea shanty men signing group for the stupid guitar guy on the roof

Because a dude playing take me home Country roads was already taken

 

[Plugger35]

Score review again despite it being a clear goal.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Brilliant running from keays then

Does he stay up there the entire game

 

[Chuckie357]

Brilliant running from keays then

Poor by Walker, I know it came off, but he never looks the other side ever

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Shouldn’t that be 50 for giving the ball back to the wrong player? Or is that not a thing anymore?

 

[The 747]

Why do Freo do Freo things?
