Game Day Fremantle vs Essendon on a Thursday Night

[Tonga Bob]

On the one hand:

• Rain.
• Well used surface.
• Five day turnaround.
• We're not as young as the opposition.
• National FTA curse.
• PT scarcity.

On the other hand:

• Form.
• Been in our beds for weeks.
• Home.
• Ponies.
• Unicorns.
• Bailey Banfield.
• Horses.
• Courses.

Which Freo turns up tonight?

 

[Perfect Purple]

Love watching the boys win but still debating whether to go because of the expected wet weather.

It will be alright. Hardly any rain today before it comes hard again tomorrow.

I fear the state of the surface however...

 

[freo84]

Irrationally nervous about this game.

Tell me it's going to be okay please..

 

[noise36]

We should win right? But after losing to plenty of teams this year that we should have beaten its hard to not be very nervous.

 

[BStaff17]

We dont handle the spotlight well do we.

Ill take the 4 points and move on tbh.

Even if its scrappy just winning now is more important.

 

[Mogumber]

They'll win, but it'll be scrappy.
Hopefully the surface has been managed today, and the game is not compromised.
LJ against a first gamer is criminal

It’s going to be okay.

 

[Minz]

I have friends over but am tempted to record the game so I can watch it later.

However, when I was doing that earlier in the season, the team played like rubbish, so I will not.

This feels like a Dockery game incoming.

 

[mattis117]

I don't think this is dockery coming up - We're refreshed after our break and have one game under our belt to get match fitness back, Essendon on the other hand also have a 5 day break plus travel, plus the youngest list of the week. This is not the kind of match where dockery should happen.

If there is a god of dockery, he would be devouring stuff like this.

Dockery is not about should.

 

[toto95]

Cautious/traumatised purely because of what happened with Melbourne. Can't be too confident. Think this could go either way.

You're sounding very fragile there.

If we lose this then we are beyond simply Dockery. We're Shockery.

 

[mattis117]

Yes, my point exactly. This should be beyond the realm of Dockery. They're devastated by injury.

 

[mike91]

What's the weather looking like? Google for me says 20% chance of rain pre game

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

We have every right to expect a percentage boosting demolition like a top 4 team would expect but we still fear The dockerieness

You record games? What is this 1997?

We should win and win big! I will get to watch most of the first half and have to watch the stream of the second half from 9:30pm.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I'm doing the rooftop tour tonight. If I die its been great shitposting with you all

 

[Piggy Smalls]

We don't usually put up two shockers in a row, especially at home.
Our Achilles heal is pressure and it would take a legendary effort from Essendon to maintain the kind of intensity North Melbourne did for 4 quarters.
Not taking anything to the bank with this team, but I'm expecting a frustrating game where it's never really in doubt but we don't put them away either.

 

[Spirit Level]

Just have to get it done tonight, we just have to get that elusive roaming brian segment

 

[DocT]

We wil put them away. Don and dusted.

Awesome, have fun! Let us know how it goes, I've always wanted to do it.
