Game Day Rd 15 vs Essendon @ Optus

[Snuffaluphagus]

No game write up I don’t think unless I’ve missed something. Freo by 25

 

[ozzie69]

Hopefully a little less depressing than my trip to Olympic Park last weekend. Both Sturt and Henry to continue building form.

 

[dockers1]

Lets go Freo Lets go. Big win today in the wet.

 

[MadMundy]

With the men we have coming back in we should be winning this one.

 

[freo_leo29]

Shocked that we are favourites this week

 

[muzzington]

Freddy must be all good. Would love to see him tear the game apart.

 

[King Tenz]

Obvious L incoming. Raining? Check. Channel 7 primetime game? Check.

Hopefully these campaigners prove me wrong today.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Banfield back into the emergencies replacing Corbett. Never change JL.

Essendon coming off a bye goes against your list

Good point. Would be very dockery if we lose now.

Tonga Bob looks like JL playing 3D chess here. Banfield 3 goal haul incoming!

 

[Bastyy]

We win this by 17, media goes "Docker season not over yet!" only for another miraculous crumble in 3 weeks time

Darcy BOG

 

[kingswood71]

difficult to get a read on this game
Our best is good enough. hopefully we bring it!!
Us by 3 points in a nail-biter!!

 

[serial_thrilla]

I can see the late change already. Darcy out, Banfield in.

I think I'd take that..

Three wins in a row: Essendon, Dogs, Carlton - then we lose to Pies at the G.

Has us at 9-8 with games against:
Sydney (at home)
Cats (away)
Lions (home)
Eagles (howay)
Port (home)
Hawks (away)

And we need four wins. I think we can beat Sydney, Lions, Eagles at home but probably only Hawthorn away.

Dropping a tall for a small is sensible in these conditions

Switta into the ruck!

Nah, Freddy will be a late out with Banfield into the team and I expect Worner to be sub.

Logic would tell us that if Sturt was ahead of Bailey in the pecking order enough to be named emergency he gets the nod for Fred but we know JL doesn't roll that way.

That's my full pessimism hat on. I'm not at all confident and expecting another horrible letdown. But thats the way I roll. Freo PTSD.

Sigh Yep, feel the same way.

Sucks always thinking this way.

 

[Footskill]

Think Freddy will play. It would be silly of them to be posting congratulating him on 50 games this close to the game.

However, if he is really touch and go, which will hamper his run, better just leave him out

 

[StingBitten]

No idea with this mob, absolute chook lotto.

Losing by 80 not out of the question.
Winning by 40 not out of it either.

 

[largebus]

Hard to do worse than last week. Draper out is a big loss for the Bombers, no excuse not to convert that to a good clearance game with Darcy back in.

Lose this and we'd be relying on other teams to have a sniff at September

 

[Gekko71]

No idea which way the game will go, but still hopeful nonetheless.

Don't mind the team sheet frankly - I note Fyfe is listed as playing in the midfield - Hopefully both he and our forward line talks get a little of their regular mojo back.

Go Freo, and congratulations on 50 games Freddie... Hope you make it a memorable milestone.

Can't see Worner as sub. Feel like we would have announced his debut if it was coming.
