Game Day Hot Docs Vs Cold Pies

[beetz]

Collingwood are garbage but Freo will need to have the game sewn up by half time. I feel the only thing working against us is the short break. Understandably the younger fellas may run out of legs late.

Suban likes the wet. He should be up for a good game tonight. Would be nice to see Taberner kick 1 or 2, going to be hard for the forwards tonight.

Suns out atm in the western suburbs probably won't last

This is totes lyk Essendon bfor the drug saga in 2013. Eddie thy lord and saviour must be avenged on the big stage - his double chin should freely spout truth and repel the savage hairy-chested feminist force that has gripped the nation. There is only one man who can save us, and his name is Latham... I mean Langdon.

 

[masai]

Just kick straight !!!!!!!!!.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Today's the sort of day where one requires warming up. A few options nearby:

• Young & Jackson's
• Beer Deluxe
• Duke of Wellington
• also a couple on Punt Road which are closeish

Is there a Freo drinking hole near the G to go to before or after the game?

I have no idea why.

Are we dockers supporters meeting together for a beverage before the game

Maybe not the closest pub. but the Elephant & Wheelbarrow on the corner of Bourke & Exhibition Sts has $6 pints from 5pm to 7pm amongst other things (http://bourkest.elephantandwheelbarrow.com.au/whats-on/happy-hour-fridays/). Unless there's a better suggestion I'll stop in here on the way to the ground, because:

• Being a British themed pub may make some of you who have made the trip over from Perth more at home,
• People from Perth haven't seen $6 pints since the 1980s,
• With the Brexit imminent, there may be some schadenfreude to be had,
• It's in between my office and the ground

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Do we have a shonky doctor amongst us who can write me out a sick note?

Working til 10pm

And whoever complains about the cold weather in Melbourne I happen to work in a giant fridge/freezer chill out

Barlow to take Side-arse

 

[Arcassius]

FREMANTLE coach Ross Lyon will consider letting Michael Barlow off the leash in Friday night’s clash with Collingwood at the MCG.

Barlow has been a revelation in his new role as a tagger, restricting stars such as David Zaharakis, Daniel Rich, and Robbie Gray to play a key part in Fremantle’s three-match winning run.

Star Magpies midfielders Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom, and Adam Treloar are all in the running to get pegged down by Barlow this week.

But in an unexpected twist, Lyon revealed he was also considering the option of relieving Barlow of his tagging duties.

hope we win. just waiting for the bye atm

He was unleashed last week, tagger or not. Just give him the same role and he'll still get 30+ disposals. Nothing wrong with dominating Pendlebury or Sidebottom in the process.

75% chance of rain decreasing to 50% by 9pm

Interesting game tonight. We have been so bad this year it's hard to approach any game with confidence. Apart from the Cats and Dogs game we have no form at all. Our defence just leaks goals too easily on the back of too little midfield defensive pressure. Not confident about a win at all as your team seems to be finding its feet. We are stuck on our knees

Good luck tonight, will be cold at the G

 

[DeanS]

are they homeless?

Not yet but they could be if they put everything on Barlow getting 35+ possessions.

On my way now if anyone's there. I'll be the one in the Freo scarf that has green in it. And all the layers of clothing that I own.

This one will be too close to call frankly, but I'm tipping Freo by 5 anyway.

Looking forward to seeing Cox vs Dawson up close... pity Sandi isn't playing, as Sandi vs Cox in the ruck could've been really interesting to watch.

Mason Cox flagged as a possible late withdrawal.. The weather will decide if Collingwood go in too tall

 

[peppy la pew]

Invaluable experience for the younger brigade playing on the G, i hope it isn't a blowout.

I cant see us winning this one, but hey, it's a strange ol season to date
