Game Day Fremantle vs Gold Coast

[Randomizor]

Excited to see how Freo backs up that effort against NM.

Fremantle by 42 points. Hogan to kick 2!

 

[Deveraux]

More excited than nervous today!

Very keen to see how we structure up. If our fwd half pressure is up again we should be right but we can't expect a domination every week like North game.

I'm worried for their backline, Sam Collins at full back ain't the best look. Thompson is a massive out for them this season after the loss of May.

 

[MadMundy]

Let's go boys!!! Should be a great game for us today. Taberner and Lobb to kick 2, McCarthy to kick 4, Hogan to kick 5. Let's kill em and finish today on top.

Free by 67

Whut?

Didn't Freo again prove their incompetence by delisting him? I'm sure I read that on BigFooty somewhere....

I shall continue my pessimistic predictions im game day threads that will lead to the ultimate success by tipping Gold Coast by 13 points.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Let’s just hope we give maximum effort again and don’t take the Suns lightly. St kinda beat Essendon, Carlton nearly ran over Port, there are upsets brewing everywhere

 

[Rob]

We better not **** this up.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Hoping we are tested and it’s a scrap. I want us to see how we respond to an actual counter attack and not just dance around witches cones

May Hogan have a safe and productive debut for us and we walk away with the 4 points

Freo by 31

We have the team to get it done but need to be careful, won't be like the north game, will need to earn it. It would be a very Freo thing to do to drop this game we are expected to win.

Hope Hogan has a good game, starts gelling with the team and gets his confidence up.

No injuries please.

Absolutely beautiful morning here in Coffs Harbour, hopefully it’s just as nice a few hours north..
I’m really excited about today’s game.. Heave ho..

 

[Deathly]

One goal win incoming.

 

[Deveraux]

Anyone know how the ground drains?

There was a fair bit of rain about yesterday. Hopefully a decent bake in that QLD sun today will make for perfect conditions for our talls.

 

[Yeti]

Just read on the AFL website that Gold Coast don't have a KPD taller than 195cm...

Vs

Taberner - 197cm
Hogan - 195cm
Lobb - 205cm
McCarthy - 193cm

Throw in a Fyfe / Darcy / Mundy rotating through there, if it is dry and they can create space & separation it could be a marvelous spectacle.

I don't think I have ever seen a Fremantle forward line with such an embarrassment of riches.

Throw in a resting ruckman and Sonny Walters.

It's such a weird feeling for a Freo fan.

Let's go Boys!

Well it’s not exactly next door but, hopefully better than the Sunshine Coast racetrack. That’s still a heavy 8 which is very soft for you nonracing people.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

4 points, no injuries, and the same effort around the contest as last week, please.

Very worried I'm about to be a snakebaker about today's game. Feeling like we should smash them on a dry track with that forward line. But I don't want to look like a goose this evening, so I'm not committing to that conclusion. Expecting a good win.

snakebaker
/sneɪkˈbeɪkə/
noun

1. excessively overconfident based on flawed assumptions.
   "Joe fell into the trap of becoming a snakebaker for today's game."
   
   
2. a person having or revealing an exaggerated sense of their football club's abilities.
   "he's a bit of a snakebaker isn't he?"

4 things I hope to see:

• manic pressure
• really organised defensively
• good connection kicking in to the forwards from the mids
• forwards well organised so they are creating one v ones, good leads in good areas and isolating our best match ups, because we will have height advantages through the game

If we bring those things all game we will win.

Wouldn’t mind one of Brayshaw or Cerra racking them up for their confidence either.

 

[Rion]

Should be fun. Looking forward to seeing how Hogan/McCarthy go together. Hope to see Cerra in more of a midfield role as well.

Freo by 30.

 

[Yeti]

Is that bloke we traded to them in exchange for Brayshaw playing?

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Based off last week we should win this comfortably. The challenge for a young team is winning when expected and away from home so it's not a give in.

It's incredible and sad really that the moment Hogan runs on to the field he'll automatically be our second best key forward ever.

Ryan Murphy will be shattered to hear he has been bumped from 2nd to 3rd on that illustrious list.

Game day mother f**kers!

Freo by plenty!

Pork butt on the Weber, beer in the fridge, a fine weather forecast on the Gold Coast, let’s finish the round and weekend off properly!


Edit: apologies, I didn’t see there was already a Game Day thread. Mids please close this one and merge with thhe one that’s already up Allikat dockerfemme

 

[Allikat]

[88mph]

We could be top of the ladder if we pay our cards right!

Fingers crossed.
