Game Day Essendon vs Fremantle - Spiderman Stadium 5:25 AWST

[Wally Walpamur]

Game day MFer’s.

Pressure their running backs and stopping the run through the corridor is key.

Hogan to have a breakout game and kick 5.

Us by 15-25 points.

Crappy start time !
If we can get some run going while maintaining the defensive structures, we can win this.
Need a lot more from the forwards, but in saying that, we need some better entries by the mids!
This could well be a season changing game...lose and we can drop as low as 11th...win and we are a sneaky chance to stay close to the other 8th place challengers!
I for one just want to see a playing a style that shows improvement consistently.
I dont think Essendon applies the same level of defensive pressure and mindset as say Adelaide or Richmond...this may well suit us.
I think we can, I think we can.
Us by 13 points.

Bombers to rip us apart. Saad bog.

WA media puts the spotlight back on Rossy.

Is that what you want or what you think?

Gimme the Banz Hammer and I'll take care of things.

I'm pretty sure people have been predicting Hogan to 'break free' and kick 5 for the past 4 games. Maybe today will be the day.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. If we keep saying this, it will come true eventually (hopefully)

Last minute preparations before heading to Marvel...

3 beers preloaded so I don't get fleeced at the stadium - Check.
Scarf - Check.
Hat - Check.
Lucky leopard print underpants - Check.

With the underpants in order, Freo 96, Ess 72.
Also, the beer is homebrew, ordinarily I do english ales, pale ales and stouts, recently trying my hand at wheat beers that up until this last keg - well le'ts politely say that I hadn't mastered wheat beer (30kg of wheat and barley down the track). BUT, I kegged this 4 days ago and it's come up a beauty, I take that as a sign of good things tonight, best that I pour a glass on a footy scarf as homage to the footy gods as I've run out of first born children to ritually sacrifice to them.

 

[Seppo]

Haven't lost in Melbourne this year. I'm positive we can win.

Devon and Fanta Sia out for them is huge.
Fyfe to go big and earn 3 votes to keep up with Cripps and Neale.

Pretty jealous you have the AIBA / Good Beer Week in Melbourne this week. Picked up the Against the Grain Bo & Luke Stout for this evening.

Forwards have to lift. Midfield have to hit the targets. Otherwise Essendon half back wil have a field day. They’ll be playing with a spare defender obviously. Let’s hope we ve worked it out

 

[Righteo]

with our tall and slow fwdline and Essendon's superior speed all over the park i'm a bit worried they'll just run away from us all game. Need to smack them in contested ball, lower the eyes and utilise our height to have a chance.

if anyone's interested these are the changes from last time we played. Fair to say there's some pretty handy ins for both teams

ESSENDON OUTS: Goddard, Smith, Dea, Fantasia, Myers, Brown, Colyer, McKernan
ESSENDON INS: Redman, Ambrose, McKenna, Begley, Shiel, Stringer, Francis, Daniher

FREMANTLE OUTS: Neale, Banfield, Johnson, Sheridan, Sutcliffe, Giro, Darcy McCrafty, Jones
FREMANTLE INS: Hogan, Taberner, Fyfe, Blakely, Lobb, Conca, Brayshaw, Switkowski

Cotchin, Rance, Reiwoldt, Vlaustin, Rioli!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not very confident. I think we're too tall. Not enough speed or skill. If we lose this I think we'll freefall. Be losing 5 in a row, probably 6 with Port after the bye.

However, I'm hoping we turn up obviously.

Sorry for the pessimism! Please prove me wrong. Pleeeaaaase!!!!!

While there are few Freo games here, there are some things that go a ways to make up for it

no confidence in this game considering its at the MCG, but please just get it done. Give your supporters a little bit of hope.

edit: thought it was at the G

At Marvel. Bit of a chance. Need to start well. But have to kick goals. Honestly none of this defensive crap

 

[yakka man]

I have no idea what to expect.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Think we’re a decent chance, but who the * knows with our games anymore. Just hoping for a good show tonight please, let’s see some exciting movement and scoring from our forwards

 

[estibador]

I'm feeling strangely confident. Reckon we'll roll them.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Will Fox and 7 have the same broadcast or different commentators?
