Game Day Fremantle vs. Richmond Round 17 2024

[mattis117]

No game day thread up yet, so here's one.
Pretty crappy day tbh, cold and windy, but will still be there. Hit them hard early and break any spirit they come into the game with. With some luck we may get a dry first quarter or half before the front comes through. Could be heavy rain at some point.

Why does it always rain at home when we play shit teams.

Haven't played in rain all year, this will be good for us

Weather looks ominous. Me scared

 

[Rob]

The question is can we adjust our game plan to the conditions. Historically weve struggled with that, but last week we did on the short ground. So there's hope.

But I'm still not over the derby yet so I'm not confident.

Have we played in rain since the Richmond game last year? Can't imagine our game will hold up well given that.

 

[Sandgroper007]

It will be interesting to see what impact the potential weather tonight has on our game. This is one everyone seems to have pencilled in for a percentage builder but I'm less convinced the closer we get to game time. It'll be a good test, a team that is clearly well below our level, at home, in conditions we're generally unfamiliar with. The Dockery way would be to lose, or win but in an unconvincing inaccurate manner. Guess we'll find out in about 4.5 hours.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Hope they’re prepared to get their hands dirty in the wet weather.

[doppo]

Has any team ever gone from beating the top team of the ladder away to losing to the bottom team at home the following week?

was just about to ask the same thing

After seeing that photo in an online newspaper today of Jye lying on the ground with the Richmond players’s knee pressed into his throat, it stirred up some fresh rage for these Richmond campaigners.

They had better not go after the kid again tonight and I hope the Umpires have been put on notice to watch for it.

I’m pretty sure that it was after that previous Richmond game that JL spoke out publically about Jye’s treatment by their thug defenders.

It was disgraceful that the Umps ignored it throughout the game.

We expect better from them.

 

[kingswood71]

We should be winning this one.
us by 43 points even if its wet

 

[Grape Bear]

Do they sell plastic ponchos at the stadium or do I need to make a detour to the city to get one? The sky is looking ominous already.

 

[mattis117]

Yeah it's about to rain unfortunately, better take a towel to wipe your seat!

Thanks for the tip, city it is then. See you guys at the game!

Fricken' freezing today. Anyone who shows up and sits in the stadium tonight deserves a medal.

They're already there.

But yeah we need to keep them there. It's been a long time since Richmond bottomed out.

Leave it to me to pick this game as my first ever at Optus!

Well that’s a bit sad Grape. Hope you have good seats as it won’t be a good night weather wise.

We have the best fans in the AFL - train is packed on the way there.

 

[Lach72]

Ahem…I’m watching from the couch.

Sitting in the rain for 3 hours isn’t top of my hit parade

 

[Grape Bear]

I was running out of home games to redeem my tickets!

10 goal win and no injuries would be a great result.
