Happy McPharlin is in but risky withdrawing SNOS like that. We're going to be caught pretty short if Lukey goes down early a la Clancee last week.

Geelong are a fantastic wet weather side. But rain is not the worst thing. They could cut us up with ball movement and attacking play in the dry. If it's slippery it could reduce game to a slog, and maybe keep the scoreboard close and give us a good chance.

I don't think there's much doubt that even if it doesn't give us a massive advantage rain certainly reduces their advantage. No rapid transition from defense hopefully today.

Freo have tended to play reasonably well in the wet in recent years. Conditions tailor made for Fyfe you would think.

From last night, the umpires didn't pay some possible frees when players ducked into tackles. Hopefully that interpretation will help us.
