Game Day Fremantle vs Essendon on a Thursday Night

[Lach72]

The week after we set our then record highest winning margin (112) against Collingwood in 2005 we lost to Essendon by 6 goals who finished forth last.

I was at that game. Took off the next day for Europe for 3 weeks.

Came back and we were a disaster the whole time I was away

Dinner for two with a bushy view.

I know my bingo calls!

Look who was an adult in the last century!

 

[Nothing]

Was that the one where everyone except Peter Bell wore long sleeves?

More recent. 2018? When we won the first quarter then conceded 23 goals in a row.

completely forgot that one

When was the last game that we played on a nationally televised Thursday/Friday night and won? Does anyone know. So excluding games like vs Adelaide earlier this year which was Fox outside of WA.

How nice would it be confident that we’ll win a game we should win. Prime time and the roaming BT curse is scary…

I reckon Collingwood 2014... But there could be one earlier than that.

10 years ago. Round 13 2015, we beat Collingwood by 7 points on a Thursday night.

Goes to show how few primetime games we get and when we do get them how shit we have been.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Beginning of channel 7 coverage is 3 minutes of highlights from the last game where Essendon came back to win (still don’t forgive your early crow Van_Dyke ) followed by 5 minutes of an interview with the Essendon coach, followed by a highlights package on Essendon player Nik Martin. Glad they’re the home team here.

That’s followed by interview with Scorchers players. Are we playing tonight?

Very interesting that Fyfe is not sub?

 

[kingswood71]

we should win.....i think.

 

[Minz]

I love those that say the dockery game was last game. Friends, the Dockers are forever!

 

[Minz]

we should win.....i think.

This is the right way to say it

 

[BStaff17]

Kane Cornes in the Freo sheds.

So we haven't banned him

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Just no injuries on that appalling bad surface of the oval please - no injuries.

 

[freoextra]

Geez a lot of dark clouds in the sky on the way to the game, for crying out loud hang off for once.

 

[YelloMit]

Aish is listed as sub.

 

[Paracleet]

I can't help but feel they slight advantage in having a ruck man called Vigo.
I want to do a meme that says - "one does not simply" involving the name but can't be bothered.
Feeling as confident as I can ever be about Freo although Switta is a big out.

You rang?

 

[Fred Ziffel]

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.

I’ll watch on delay. Decided to head out for dinner at Foodland, Ratchadapisek, Bangkok.

Who is? Aish?

Imagine following a team that won goes they should? would be like following a different sport.

 

[mattis117]

The surface looks better than I expected. All the prime time commentators are here. Kath and Nick not far from each other, beautiful haha.

Great night for footy tbh.

 

[The Round House Drunk]

Brierty just said the surface is pretty good. They did some improvements to the drainage.

 

[Footskill]

Aish as sub, which was what I was expecting as insurance and flexibility. Prob means banners may play back. Who plays swittas fwd role. Is it possible noddy might, as another unexpected move?
