Calling it… Johnson to cause more selection headaches by playing his natural position this week and winning the rising star nom

I'm tipping 24 possessions including 5 clearances and a goal.

I’m hoping that’s Fyfe’s tally

Zempilas returns to AFL commentary for ‘one night only’

Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas will make a shock return to the commentary box ahead of Fremantle’s clash with Richmond at Optus Stadium on Saturday.

Oh no

It's a one off I can deal with it.

As long as it isn't Kelli Underwood I think anyone else is bearable.

Both are horrible

Both have the personality of a wet sock

Johnno's gone from 78-88kg since being drafted, decent effort!

I honestly reckon we are going to lack a bit of muscle and mettle around the ball tomorrow. Particularly if it’s wet. You look at that Tigers squad and it’s chock full of in and under wet weather battlers. I’ll stand to be corrected on Henry (or even sit if I like), but if the rain comes in like it’s forecast to, a couple of skinny flankers might not cut it.

Richmond are a bunch of short people. Taranto has steadied them in the middle but they are leaking everywhere else. Fyfe & Johnno will tower over all of them while Brayshaw and Serong starve them of opportunity. Not to mention unleashing Jackson for a full game in the middle to really rub it in.

I’m more worried about the post bye dip than Richmond’s midfield.

I hope so

 

[dockerfemme]

I am very worried about the weather. Think we will miss Swaggy and O’Meara a lot.

O’Meara will be desperately missed.

 

[Spirit Level]

Actually disrespectful that Basil is back in the commentary box, it just means that none of the C7 commentators can be arsed getting on the plane to Perth

due to injury and Jaeger O’Meara is suspended for a dangerous tackle, which looked suspiciously like a tackle.

We will find out a lot about the mentality of this team tonight. There has been no real pressure to win the last 3 matches and each time the players left the dressing rooms before the game it would have been viewed as a bonus to get a win. The players would have felt liberated as each game developed and we found ourselves in the bonus territory of a winning position.

Now suddenly, we have something to lose again. We are hot favourites on our own deck against a sticky opponent that we have a poor record against in recent years.
Serious contenders, genuine finals teams - they find a way to win tonight if they are in our shoes. Absences like Darcy and JOM. are not an excuse.

How's the forecast for later? Currently sunny with no clouds. Please tell me it stays like this

Spoke too soon. Clouds rolling in

Looks like a healthy soaking will start in about 1.5 hours

 

[gaskin]

Just had a wisdom tooth taken out. I don't know what will be more painful: Going to the game tonight or staying home and watching on TV but having to listen to Basil.

I personally love the work of Titus.

While I feel reasonably aggrieved by O'meara it still doesn't compare to the reaming of Butler.
Man would I be pissed if I was a St Kilda fan.

 

[Perfect Purple]

Henry will play better than expected.
Johnson will blitz his opponents.
Sturt will kick at least two goals.
Basil will be effusive with his praise of the Dockers.
Dockers will have a good win in spite of weather conditions.
