Game Day Fremantle v The Wrangles 280614

[Kram]

It's 9pm and I've had 4 pints of very strong beer. I may have grossly miscalculated my ability to stay awake until 4am and see the game finish. Hopefully it will be over by quarter time.

Meanwhile in Western Australia...

 

[Dudley Leopard]

I am very concerned about their tall forwards. I think it will be pretty obvious game plan for the eagles will be just to bomb the ball in long.

If Kennedy, Darling and McGovern clunk a few we could be in trouble.

Sandi or Zaarke will go down back to help intercept. We're really only one tall down in defence.

**PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT**
If any of you own a Tivo be aware that they have made a mistake in the guide and the game is listed as Hawthorn v Gold Coast...

I foresee a few very unhappy West Aussies who won't be watching the game later!

 

[Scossie]

I'm getting my annual death stare ready. For the last 11 years, there's been a bloke who sits in my row about 8 seats along from me who is there all the time shouting for Freo. Apart from on Freo home derby day, when he always rocks up wearing an Eagles jumper... Arseclown...!!

My window must be in a better spot because I'm on my 3rd beer already.

Not block 124 by chance? There is a gentleman that does the same near us.. Gave him hell last derby..

 

[estibador]

Plus a lot of people in here are forgetting the pre-season thumping wewere handed by them and not paying enough respect. I believe we will win but it will be a very very tough game

You're not still using preseason games as some sort of form guide are you?

 

[clogged]

I'm really really nervous (not negative) nervous.

I'm really concerned we are not going to be able to handle their talls. Plus LeCras has missed the last few Derbys and he normally Carves us one.

The settling thing is that at least we know majority of the training planning this week would have being our backline

You have to be a parody account.

No. Block 322. I can hardly bring myself to even say hello to him any more...

Other than GWS and games against bottom 6 teams how many times has the Eagles "Tall forwards" actually won them a game? I can't think many. Yea we are undermanned in defense but IMO we've got nothing to worry about as their "Tall forwards" rarely work in unison.

We were also missing Hill last Derby who will no doubt be off the chain, while Pearce and Niel will run amuck on the outside. They have no one to tag Fyfe and our midfield will dominate.

I suspect McGinnnity was brought in to tag Fyfe.

Well, they have to at least try!

At least McGinnity wouldn't get distracted by his pretty hair like Sharron would.

Jeepers, I hope so but not a chance. Fyfe is bigger, stronger and marks about a mile higher than McGinnity. Same for Barlow and Mundy. They're all taller and heavier.

Bloke at work (slimer supporter) reckons he's been brought in to stop Ballantyne. Fat chance that will work as well. I don't think he's fast enough.

Maybe they think he can do a Ballantyne by feeding off their talls if we bring the ball to ground in their forward line. Hopefully we have something in place for that.....like a Mzungu hip and shoulder.

Yes, but who else have they got?!?!

I don't know what that means

He is saying that you get so nervous and panicky before any game, that you are not for real. A bit like the fake Steve Jobs blog of a few years ago.

 

[imperial_oz]

Who cares! I hope they have nobody and I hope it stays that way forever!

Right now I don't think they can tag our midfield out of the game and hope thats where we smash them

 

[enoenoeno]

This is the least stressed about a derby I have ever been ...

There are massive advantages for us all over the ground with clear mismatches (apart from their forward line). Doubt their midfield will get near it and if they do it will be quick kick or blind bomb...

Free by 46

I'm in three two two

 

[Righteo]

Good weather for talls, let's hope we overrun these bastards.

Looking forward to the Fyfe show today, expecting a big, big game off the back of his new contract and no Selwood to tag him this time either.

Oh well in that case screw you clogged

Passion = Nerves
