Preview Round 2: Freo vs Essendon (5:10PM Saturday)

[M_rash]

The scene is set

The Bombers’ come from behind victory will have them crowing.
Ross’ boys want a more powerful showing.
KNOCK KNOCK…. Oh f**k that! Piss off Owen!!!

THE TIME HAS COME

It’s prime time baby, a rare Saturday night time slot.
The first game under lights will rock the Cray Pot.
Thursday night team selection – are we rebuilding or what!?!?

Is Ross still the Boss?

Twelve years, and two-hundred and sixty-three games have passed.
Ross has stood the test of time, but how long can he last?
Who knows, but 71.4% against Woosha is a masterclass!

Where will it be won?

Freo need to bring the tackle intensity and not be insular.
Spread wide into space on the vast wings of the Burswood peninsular.
For the Bombers love to take the game on and try the spectacular.

Hope and despair.

Two comfortable wins in the preseason sold the fans hope.
Losing first up to Port Adelaide and many can’t cope.
“Drop the oldies!”. “Play da youff!”. “Ross Lyon you dope!!!”.

Whatever it takes.

Fans are fickle, and patience runs bare.
They want wins now, whatever it takes, don’t care!
Ball tampering? Sure! James Hird? F**k YEAH!

Oh the irony

The Essendon Bombers maybe their name.
But with D.Pearce kicking inside 50, Bombing is our game.
We need an injection of skill, or continue to be lame.

Changes.

Hamling should walk straight in, and fingers crossed for S.Hill.
But the fans want blood, more than two changes, Ross, you dill.
Logue, Hughes, Cerra, Crowden or North – AFL or Peel?

A haiku

Just like a red wine
Oh my darling Ballantyne
It’s your time to shine

GAME PREDICTIONS:
* Freo by 9 pts
* Fyfe and oldies to drag us over the line
* Brayshaw rising star nod
* Tabs 4 goals
* 47,000 crowd

Loved it but really disappointed that you didn't work Tucker into this rhyming preview.

You used the word dope.... slightly disappointed it wasn't in reference to them being a bunch of drug cheats. Otherwise great job.

No matter how bad Ross’ last couple of years have been, at least he’ll never stoop as low as that Hird character. Yet many fans calling for Ross’ head whilst extending an olive branch to Hird

Some absolute top notch work Rash, I have high hopes for this match if we don't win or at least be within 2 goals I might just have to burn my freo jumper tbh.

 

[Demons09]

Bounced back after a flogging from Port last year we can do it again Freo by 22.

 

[wayToGo_]

AFTER shutting down Adelaide star Eddie Betts last week, Essendon defender Adam Saad is setting himself to take on one of Fremantle's dangerous goalkickers in Saturday night's clash at Optus Stadium.

Dangerous goal kickers? Saad obviously didn't watch us play last weekend. What you going to do now Adam? He'll be stuck circling our f50 aimlessly looking for a dangerous forward.

 

[CakeEater]

Great preview Rash.

 

[Pavs_Risotto]

Great preview there m_rash,
So good, I wanna send you some cash,
Or maybe give you a pash,
Freo by 17 over Essentrash!

 

[Moo]

Great preview there m_rash,
We're going to punish them like we're Madam Lash,
Let's be real not Daniher's moustache ,
Looks like he's been dipped in a bucket of pubic hair ...chahing cash!

 

[FreoMonocle]

Great preview there m_rash
This boards gonna melt if we don't show some dash
So Tabs kick a bag - the ball not my stash
Take the shine off the cheats, make their hearts crash

 

[Deveraux]

The quick-e-mart is real.... doh!

 

[Tobiko]

As Rick James would say "the only way Essendon is gonna lose this weekend is if the whole team plus their coach is caught up in a sex scandal"

Wat like ball tampering each other?

 

[Tobiko]

BIG DARCY SAYS Shhhh.....The Plan is unfolding.

Me...My only wish is we kill them cold blooded this weekend. Come on Freo Dockers! Revolt!! Play with that free flowing style I know you can. I dreamt about it like a trillion million times. Youse can do it!! Just lock Ross in the toilet back at HQ..only let him out after the game is won. Might take half the season but its gotta be done. Gotta be done. Dead Serious.

 

[Nolo180]

The milk went bad last week. Freo's gonna wear the UNITY ring and five finger slap those drug cheat bitches
to the face!

 

[Tobiko]

Jokes aside, just imagine if the team is let loose. How much happier Fyfe would be? Harley Bennell sick calfs or not...showing the competition what real black magic is. I am sure Sandilands and Sean Darcy would love to run over a few players like a train. Three week ban? So what!! Let Shuey and Hodge experience what its like to be trampled by an elephant. Might make them better humans.

Ross Lyons you want tips from basketball? Take it from Cal 'The Black Pearl" Bruton's playbook. Run and stun. Coast to coast. No more of this kick high and long shit...

 

[Joeltownsmith]

Our last 3 h&a games have been beltings by the opposition please stop rott Ross make the world right again.

 

[tonygeeks]

There's enough to dislike in this world of pain and lies

Without our forward entries burning my eyes

Devoid of spirit

Strangers to touch

Loyalty's not supposed to hurt quite this much

There's other teams out there , for some it's an option

If the little sh*t asks me for a Nic Nat jumper again he's up for adoption

I’m in a predicament here; I have a very close friend’s birthday dinner on Saturday night at 6:30 which means I won’t get to attend (or I could go for a half) and I’m pretty torn. As much as I’d enjoy dinner, I think I’d enjoy the first Freo game at Optus Stadium and seeing a team with Brayshaw, Cerra, Banfield and possibly another debutant (Crowden, Dixon or Duman), four players that could be apart of our next tilt at the premiership.

Sorry can’t see the predicament..it’s pretty clear what you have to do

Sorry, but I have to ask ...
What sort of 'close friend' doesn't check the fixtures before organising an event?
