Respectful talk welcome. Trolling is for dorks.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Are Freo staying the week at Adelaide to cut down on travel or did they go back to Perth after Saturday?

 

[LongSerong]

Are Freo staying the week at Adelaide to cut down on travel or did they go back to Perth after Saturday?

We travelled home Saturday morning (couldn't fly out Friday night because of airport restrictions) to give players an Easter rest to be with families. Think we fly back to Adelaide on Wednesday.

 

[PCORF]

Collingwood love Adelaide Oval. I think they win this one by 23 points.

 

[PrancingPony]

This is a danger game and a test with the likelihood of Daicos and Pendlebury returning to the side for Collingwood, but I think it'll be a tightly contested contest.

If we win this game I'll be on board with us going for Top 4. I think we can beat Collingwood too with how they are playing.

Freo by 8

 

[voorhees]

pies always play well in Adelaide.
could be a interesting clash with the returning pie players

 

[RonnieRaven]

Freo kick straight will win easily
If we don’t and umps get involved 5pt win to pies

 

[Rockmelon]

We can’t afford to let the pies get momentum like we did to the crows.

Pies will cope a bake all week and will wanna respond and we might come out a bit flat after the highs of last week

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Honestly be surprised if it's close, too many injuries. Surely Nick isn't playing?

Daicos and Pendlebury are expected to return.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Daicos and Pendlebury are expected to return.

Well Pendles was due back that's not a surprise but Daicos looked shocking last week

 

[PrancingPony]

Well Pendles was due back that's not a surprise but Daicos looked shocking last week

It was just a cork by reports, he was back up and running at training apparently. He's good to go.

Well they better hope it doesn't turn into something worse.

 

[PrancingPony]

Well they better hope it doesn't turn into something worse.

My fantasy team can't take anymore injuries.

 

[timokane]

Should be closer then the lions game.
Get things right at selection and the Pies edge freo and are due for a lose as well.
Tipping Pies by 15 points there at AO

 

[Cam Payne]

Pies seem to go ok at Adelaide but this is one Freo should win. Freo by 18.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Pies were humiliated and will come in desperate for a W. If Nick plays Pies by a goal or two.

 

[cactuscall]

Collingwood love Adelaide Oval. I think they win this one by 23 points.

Freo don't mind it either, have won 6 of the last 7 at AO.

 

[beerbandit]

Wow, only gone 4 days early with the excuses.

 

[beerbandit]

I’d say outplayed by the best team in it. I felt far from humiliated. 9 goal wins aren’t humiliating.

What Sydney did to West Coast in Perth was humiliating.

 

[beerbandit]

Should be a good match, if both sides get near best sides on park it’s a toss of the coin.

Heads we win, tails you lose?

 

[bungalow_bill]

Should be a good match, if both sides get near best sides on park it’s a toss of the coin.

Need a big game from McStay. Played well V Lions, could have snagged 4 goals.

 

[Cyclops]

Freo looking good but frankly have room to improve, very powerful list.

Good side to watch, sound defence, fine young kpf, muscle in the middle. It takes a good effort to beat them.

I feeling Longmuire is a fine development and tactical coach, maybe he's got a handle on the emotional side at last?

If the get on top early we might get monstered again, I think Fly's Zen last quarter control gameplan gives us a chance if we can keep it close.

Previously we have had a good record because we could mess with their heads but since the rise of Patrick Voss its getting harder.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Wow, only gone 4 days early with the excuses.

Not an excuse a fact
We’ve kicked 55 goals 69 pts in 4 games
we’ve had a positive free kick count 1of 4
If you swap those figures around we would be top of the ladder.
It’s a compliment to pies
I feel we are better but not by a heap so if we are inaccurate and don’t get the rub of the green like our game at kadinnia we will lose in a close one.
If we were playing bombers we could kick 13 goals 25 points like against tigers and get umpired like we were against the cats and we still win.
