Game Day Match Thread RD 13 vs Hawks @ Optus

[Cobbler]

I’d also like Bailey to kick another 3+ and cement himself as best 22 for at least one more round.

How does the weather look? Forecast seems to think it will likely clear in the afternoon.

I think it will be wet looking at the Synoptic Chart. Fine atm but another low coming in

That's not help. That's appeasement.

Here's true help. It's not your fault. It's not your fault... it's not your fault. Freo by 51.

There's so much potential here!!

They have Will Day on their side, if he get tackled that player is hunting Will.

Powerful photoshop scene potential.

I really want Fyfe to take a mark right before the siren to end the first quarter. He goes back and kicks the goal and all 22 other players in the team mob him.

Reckon they'll mob him no matter what time he get's his first goal.

Don't want to be alarmist, but did anyone else think Griff sounded a bit under the weather on the Old Bull Young Buck podcast? I know there has been a lot of illness going through the squad, hope he is fully fit for today.

Seeing Brisbane supporters try to say that missing Daniher is a bigger out then any of our players got me thinking, because our team has such an even 22 on the field and given how it’s seemingly more based on completing roles than most teams, how many could we lose before we really start to feel it / who is the biggest loss from a best 22?

Honestly, while the injury list as been better id say we’ve been missing at least 3 from our best 22 every week just about, the team I just so even and has amazing flexibility that it hasn’t mattered.

For mine, as handy as Meeks been, Darcy is the biggest loss if he’s out because you just can’t replace him and so long as it’s not all in one area, I think we could lose 5ish from our best 22 before it really starts to hurt

It's obviously Banfield

This is why Travis Colyer should get an extension, as long as he has speed we have need.

For me - a +5 goal win. I’m in Lathlain and it’s mostly fine, a slight wind and light clouds. Almost want some rain so we get this monkey off our back

No injuries
Fyfe gets through and adds value
+5 goal win

Let’s go [emoji123]

Exposed evidence says Walker

Yep. He is the Spince Melange of this Freo side.

Wont be a pretty game but we'll win, Hawks are turnover merchants and our midfield will be way to strong for them. They only run one way and are coming up against the best defensive team in the land. I feel like this is the North Melbourne game where everyone is nervous for some reason but reality is we are a way better side then them and they'll struggle to score 40 points.

Such is a docker supporters apprehension mate [emoji14]

Agree with this. Darcy is a huge out. Meek just a little bit of AFL level atm in comparison.
If we loose Darcy in a game I’m not as worried now as I once was as Lobb can do it and Logue can be the 2nd tall.
I think Cox is the next most important now. He reads the play so we’ll and stops/breaks up so many oppo fwd entries.( Last week being his worst game of the season imo)
Brodie is next for me with the Caveat of Fyfe. He is a CB beast.
I would Hate to loose my buddy, mr fix it too. Aish is just so flexible and his ability to in-game adjust has been very underrated on here, but now being recognised.
JLO and the coaches have a plan and structure that apart from the wet weather issues in 2 games is flexible with the personnel who can fill the roles.
