Pulse of the game - your thoughts?

BYE: ️ GOLD COAST SUNS ️ HAWTHORN ️ WESTERN BULLDOGS ️ SYDNEY SWANS​

 

[PrancingPony]

Really should be beating them handily, will be a big day for our forwards again. Treacy may kick 10.

 

[BarbieITFC]

The wild card here is the weather. Former Cyclone Narelle heading for the Kimberley and then most predictions are it will head out to the Indian Ocean before heading back inland (potentially at Tropical Storm levels) making land around the Midwest middle of the week; but leading to significant rain and winds for Perth on Friday/Saturday. Current forecast is 30mm of rain on Saturday - most of it in the afternoon when the game will be on.

If the oval floods we are a chance, have a few very good swimmers in the team.

Freo by 62points

 

[timokane]

Freo wins by 62 points be another 10 goal loss for the hapless tigers

 

[Mr Meow]

Gotta be Freo by 62 points.

 

[voorhees]

no Lynch, Nank or Broad who are all taking a seat in the stands.
Things could get messy for the young tigers very quickly

 

[Cam Payne]

Was going to tip Freo by 69 points if the weather was nice, but it is going to be far too moist to win by that much. Freo by 20.

 

[cactuscall]

Freo by 50+ no matter what the weather.

 

[AGT]

Freo by a point after Mundy is called out of retirement at half time to kick the winner.

 

[Lingsface]

Will this game be cancelled or moved a day forward or back? Cyclone would have to have that affect right?

I think Optus stadium will be available from 9.30 on Sunday, should have cleared up by then

A cyclone in Perth?

Saw that.

It won't be a cyclone when the system reaches that far south

 

[BFew]

I think Optus stadium will be available from 9.30 on Sunday, should have cleared up by then

Moving the match to Sunday afternoon at Optus would be preferable
Or to Adelaide on Saturday?

AFL ‘closely monitoring’ cyclone ahead of Dockers game

Fears Cyclone Narelle could impact Saturday’s AFL game between Fremantle and Richmond in Perth are growing as the system makes its way down the WA coast.

thewest.com.au

'In a statement, the AFL said they were “closely monitoring and will continue to do so over the next few days”.
Fremantle have been contacted for comment, while Optus Stadium directed enquiries to the AFL.'

 

[purplearmy]

Go for Sunday. If it happens that volume of rain is more suitable for speed boating, not football.

Clever boy.

 

[tiger_tough]

Wetter the better.

 

[cactuscall]

Saw that.

It wont but it's highly unusual to still be a cat 2 Cyclone almost hitting as far down as Geraldton . Going by that track map it would still be a weakened cat 1 cyclone hitting Geraldton. High winds and heavy rain will likely impact Perth to some degree, as forecast. Things can change quickly though so who knows.

 

[terrybull]

How about a cancelled game?
Freo gets the 4 points.
No change in %

Deal?

 

[Pomsta]

Wish Lynch was playing. Might have a few of his shots blown through the goals.
