Unofficial Preview Round 17 vs Fremantle @ Optus Stadium

[Jason K]

In Rd 1 we beat them by 50 pts with Fyfe, Ballantyne and Sandi and also Taberner who looked really good in the preseason games.

We had the 4 talls up fwd with Marshall kicking 4 and Watts kicking 3.

I expect to win well and cement a top 4 spot.

with Dixon finishing off last weeks game with a flurry of goals, he should go into this game with his confidence sky high. If he can recapture last years second half form, where he was the best big man in the competition, I’ll be getting excited.

Just get the job done lads.

Fremantle lost their last home game by 10 goals - against Brisbane!!! So surely a team fighting for a top 4 spot should have no issues this week!!!

Gotta love that photo in the OP. Gets funnier every time I see it
lol.

Collingwood and WC play each other this round. A big win by Port could see us sitting in 2nd spot. There's a fair amount at stake.

 

[Macca19]

Huge game in the context of the season with Collingwood and West Coast playing each other. We have to win and win well.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

I'll be in NZ on a snowtrip during this game. Hope to get down the mountain and see Port going full 2017-downhill-skier mode with a big win.

Reckon Pepps will have a big one.

Up a mountain.
Down a beer.

Up a mountain.
Down a beer.

Given my general uncoordinatedness and resilience when I can't do something, and the fact I've never snowboarded before, I'm expecting a sequence consisting of
Up a mountain.
Fall Down.
Down a beer.
Fall Down.
Down a beer.
Fall Down.
Crack it.
Down a beer.
Down a beer.
Down a beer.
Down a beer.

Heading to Perth this weekend to visit mate and will be going to this game. Looking forward to checking out the new stadium.

Hoping for a repeat of round 1.

 

[Grave Danger]

This is a line in the sand game for the Fremantle Football Club....

 

[Marmozet]

I'm coming over for this one. Keen to see the new stadium.

Only other time I've been to Perth was that 2016 shitshow so safe to say I'm hoping for a better experience this time.

 

[Willsy10]

The best thing about this game is if we win we can't be any lower than 3rd on the ladder. That's huge with only 6 rounds to go. Things are really starting to get serious.

These results will just get us to 2nd. Collingwood by 10, Port by 60(or some similar pair of margins) or West Coast by 10, Port by 40. West Coast could have Kennedy and Darling back this week so this could be our last chance to move up.

Hope Pep's racist mates stay home for this one

 

[Power Raid]

I’m hoping for a big win and all of port’s 22 putting their body on the line going for the ball, tackling and contesting marks.

Let’s see who wants to go deep in September

 

[Marmozet]

I keep worrying about dropping games to bottom sides but that’s all bad memories from 2015-16.

We’ve beaten all of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Western Bulldogs, Carlton and St Kilda this year so those days of losing the unloseables should be long gone.

We’re definitely not that team anymore.

I will be in Maldives with unlimited drink package! Game starts around lunch Maldives time. Hope wifi good enough to watch and poor visibility more due to cocktails

 

[JAlexG]

Rock up with the right attitude and bag the 4 points first and foremost.
Starting to keep one eye on the pointy season so it would be nice to see some of our bigger names to start that finals fire in the gut.
I’m going with Lindsay to have a big game. A long awaited bag!

 

[rogerjames]

Expecting us to win. We have improved and are doing enough atm.

 

[RossFC]

Doing enough

This is our season in a nutshell which has in turn still got us under the radar. I'm loving it.

 

[raptalia]

Will we be allowed to train at this ******* ground this time around?

 

[Byrons Firen]

I will be in Maldives

Do you rob banks between fishing trips?
