Ebert to Kick the first.
Krakouer to get injured.
Cockshell, Tarrant bag three.
Pavlich with 4.
Shaun Burgoyne, Pearce < 20 possessions.

Sorry to say it but I think you blokes will get slaughtered. Just like all of the other sides who come over here this year will.

Freo by not much.

Sidetracking a bit here but why are people tipping Fremantle to be premiers? I think the club needs to win more than 1 final before they get enough experience to even reach a GF. A lot of pressure on them this year and I just don't think they can crack it.

Port to win in an upset. It'll be a close game

Tarrant and Solomon will disappoint, Freo will miss farmer and black, Pavlich will be BOG.

Krak, pearce and j.burger will leave fire tracks at their heels. Ebert will kick as many points as goals.

Freo of course will go on to win 18 out of the next 21 games and finish the year in top spot.

Tight 1st quarter nothing in it; freo to break away to a decent lead by half-time; Port chips away the deficit slowly but methodically; nothing in it midway through the final quarter; Port wins by 7 points in the upset of the season (so far). For some funny reason, I'm that optimistic. Go you beauties...

Lade palms down the ball straight into Burgoynes hands who rather casually strolls away from the oncoming Fremantle players, he weaves, ducks, bobs, even does the two step before passing to Ebert who drops the chest mark but the ball is picked up one handed by Krakouer & he snaps a goal. I expect to hear something like that if not then i won't be too disappointed but Port will be very competitive for basically the whole game but they might have a ten to fifteen minute lapse where Freo will bang on a few goals & that could cost us the game. A very competitive Port outfit will either just win or lose by around the 1-20 point range i think.

We'll be extremely competitive and do ourselves proud by staying in the contest for the majority of the game. At the end of the match, our possession count will be higher than theirs and our forward 50 entries will be slightly better, but we will rue missed chances in front of goal.
Ebert to kick 3 goals 3, with two of those points coming from very gettable shots on goal.
Cockshell to have 2 shots on goal both resulting in points.
Motlop to get plenty of the footy but somewhat mysteriously not to register a scoring shot:eek:

Best for us will be Dom Cassisi who will be battle his little heart out. Steve Salopek will get plenty of it, but will be shaded by the hard-running of Crowley.
Surjan to also have a good game. Krakouer and Rodan to play well.

Are we going to use the Crash or Crash Through approach? Hopefully we don't have a RFX (Rex) Connor character derailing things.
Ah Comrade Rex. That's why I stepped back a few years when they were all visionaries ... ;)

Crash Through of course :thumbsu:
