Strategy Changes: Round 21 Fremantle vs. Carlton

[Paracleet]

Power, Dalgleish, Williamson, no hope of “consistent umpiring for both teams”
Unless you count consistently ****ing Freo! Good test leading into finals.

Williamson. Is that Hitler Youth?

Yes

A second greatest is an interesting call; he may not have had the length of career and tenure of Pav and Mundy but i will take his peak over them and any other player league wide from his era.

I have Pav as the clear one, Fyfe then Mundy… the obvious top 3 in that order.

Yes it is

I haven’t been following the build up to this game, but Curnow and Cerra out surely leaves them zero chance.. right?

By my reckoning they are missing 8-10 of their first choice players. Rain or no rain, bogey team or not we should really be belting them. I think it will play out similarly to the Port game which we won by 50.

Forgotten the Melbourne game? With their outs we couldn't lose

Our form has been very steady since that diabolical Saints game.

I wouldn't say it's been super steady, we played fairly poorly against North and Saints, but we got the results we needed.

Carlton are in trouble here.

The boys have the look of a lion on the Savannah stalking its prey...Freo will choose violence on Sunday.

It does feel like the Derby again, zero stress. I feel like we are due to put it all together for a whole game.

Please let the first half be like this one for once


and then continue on with it

"Need a safe word carlton"

Haha

I was pissed off though Andy didnt get a rising star Nom after this game 20 disposals and a goal.

Hunter Clark for St Kilda won it this round just 17 disposals against Gold Coast.

Think we are too tall for the conditions. Blues have a mosquito fleet.

Not according to their game day forum which has them taller than us.

Fyfe in his prime was not only my favourite Docker ever but also the best in my view.

Pav of course could be argued easily and was obviously a better kick.

The thing about Nat Fyfe was his pure unadulterated ball winning ability, better than Dusty or Danger.

Great memories of watching him with my daughters, Fyfe vs two opposition opponents and us all saying, “watch this, they dont stand a chance” and then chuckle with awe as he extracted and won yet another contested ball. We would literally laugh out loud with joy.

The absolute best ones were when it was three on one and they actually theoretically had a chance…and he would still win it.

Poor old Lachy Neale getting rag dolled by the champ in the goal square. Hilarious.

Pav was great but its Nat Fyfe for mine. Just do much joy, a true champ.

 

[Boppo]

It's early morning, but not a day for the big men..wind, rain and hailstones outside in Sth Perth.

 

[Duz97]

If Fyfe can take confidence from the wafl game and actually kick the ball at afl level next week he can come straight in for Ras.
If he decides that his legs don’t work and just wants to handball he should pack it up and just play at peel for the rest of the year and call it a day

I know what you're saying about Fyfe and his ball winning. But, the observation to be valid must be qualified:
1. Fyfe himself acknowledged that his ball winning was enhanced by the coaching and 'self-sacrificial' defensive efforts/set-ups around him. His brilliance was buffed up.
2. His ball winning capacity involved costly bash and crash which impacted his longevity.

If you are choosing your first pick in the best ever Freo side I don't think anyone could credibly maintain that they would want 244 games of Nat Fyfe before 353 games of Mat Pavlich. 244 of games of each...now there's a debate! 353 games of each...even better.
