Hopefully the guys can get over the emotion after last week's win and refocus. Since we were a top 4 team under ross we haven't been able to back up after a strong or a emotional win. We have struggled the following week hence the inconsistency over the past 5 years.

Hopefully today that changes.

Great to have alex pearce

Hey guys, thinking abut going to this one, even tho we will probably lose. What end is the Bris/away team? (am taking the family and my little boy for his 1st AFL game).
Thanks

Eastern side of the ground. Should be a good game!

Urgh, not sure any more....the shellacking from the Geelong game really dented my confidence, we've been erratic all year....decimated once again by cruel injuries, odd form and a Covid landscape that roams around like a deranged razorback; hardly being able to string consecutive wins as we go.......proper hard to predict. We could turn up and get absolutely belted, we could force ourselves over the line with a narrow win (oh god!) or we could bottle last week's confidence and dish it out.....completely unknown!! What is it Sweetback likes to say - we'll either win, lose or draw!

I just don't know and my faith has been shaken enough not to have confidence, but as George Michael once noted, you gotta have faith. So I'm plumbing for a win as all 'overly-optimistic' fans do. Freo by 15 *sweaty palms* haha

 

[Quazar]

weather in Albany is good too, so hopefully weather in Pa-eerth is decent too. I think our style is better suited to a dry deck, but again it's never a guarantee we'll play our best 'futbawl', as the Scottish would say

 

[estibador]

Most important Freo game since the last Carlton match. So you know what that means...

We're pooping bricks the size of terrace houses! I wasn't feeling too bad until you mentioned this. Might be time to see a psychiatrist

 

[Funbeanman]

Reverse psychology Brisbane by 22 points

Treacy after the siren. Freo by 2

I don't know if my heart can endure that!! I hope you're wrong about the scenario, right about the outcome...kinda thing haha

 

[Troy Cooked It]

Having a dip into the game day thread for once, might do something weird and post positive thoughts throughout the match, crazy right!?!?

In saying that though, wet game, versing experienced team, they have top 4 on the line while we have the top 8, the build up from last week and the importance of this match.
We all know where this leads... Expectations are low but if our young midfield can back up the pressure from last week it will give us a sniff at least!
Hopefully some more Tabs and Shultz brilliance to get the crowd roaring and breath life into the lads!

Head says Lions by 19
Heart says Freo by 9
The rest of my body says I should see a therapist for these mixed emotions and this weird feeling of having a chance at finals

Is it definitely going to be wet?! I haven't checked any forecasts

 

[SandiHill]

Looks like the weather should be ok

Treacy after the siren. Freo by 2

So we're up by 1 when the siren sounds!? Just clarifying...

 

[Spirit Level]

Brisbane travelled to Tassie last week, then back to Brisbane, then to Perth this week (longest haul in AFL travel).

Lets do this

 

[MadMundy]

Let's go!! Get the win and we're still in the hunt.

 

[TheLastCall]

Close games till the Third, then Freo to power away in the last 5 mins of the third. We blow them out of the water in the 4th as the travel wears them out.

Freo by 35, Tracey with 5.

 

[Power Raid]

Freo should pick these guys off

Purple by 21

 

[Quokka]

Massive game for Freo, after so many missed chances I can't believe we are still in the hunt for a finals spot and with the Derby and the Saints to finish a win today.... but I've been a Freo fan for too long and I am expecting bad things.

 

[Yeti]

Hopefully none of this today.

 

[Power Raid]

Hopefully none of this today.

it seems some turkeys have learnt nothing in regards to floyd

it is a tough job but one has to remember how to subdue legally

 

[Van_Dyke]

Brisbane by 5 goals, round has been set up perfectly for us to get disappointed

 

[BStaff17]

Brisbane travelled to Tassie last week, then back to Brisbane, then to Perth this week (longest haul in AFL travel).

Lets do this

They came straight to perth from tassie to do 7 day quarantine

 

[Bastyy]

I have this feeling the Lions are going to come out firing, they've been under scrutiny for the past few weeks and I reckon they'll want to turn it around today
