Strategy Round 24: Western Bulldogs vs. Fremantle Dockers

[DMan 11]

The blueprint for Freo winning will be denying the dogs clean ball.
If the dogs are able to replicate what Brisbane did then we’ll get creamed.

Positive me tells myself that the players and coaches won’t let that happen 2 weeks in a row.
If we’re smart enough and hungry to hunt the man when not in possession we’ll do this.

Love it!

I didn't check the odds but had off the top of my head:

GWS loss: $3.50
Dockers 100+ : $40 (great minds and all that...)
Bris/Hok draw: $18

Got me to 2520/1 so I'm pretty happy I got close.

Now the question is, have you got the cojones to put a sneaky hungy on it and pay the mortgage off?

Not gonna lie. I thought about putting $100 down for a $250,000 return. Then I remembered it's paying that much for a reason
I'm actually renovating and about to sell and downsize. The $250k would eliminate any need for a top up mortgage on the new place.

I spoke to the bank on Friday about a top up for some renos too.

Sounds like we're running out of excuses LOL.

After 13 weeks of "must win" games, we have arrived at another "must win" game.

Put up a disappointing performance like last week and I'll "enjoy" the offswing by focusing on all the positive things in my life, largely forgetting footy and just poppin up for tradeweek and the drafts, we've been there before.

A hard fought, close loss will require therapy of some form and everything little moment that influenced the result will haunt me for weeks.

It's gameday and I'm not going to talk about the other possible outcomes, some of you have jinxed us to oblivion with the ladder predictors, suffice to say there will be a maniacal jig or two and if I've got any voice left I'll break out my "young Bobcat Goldthwait on meth" impression.

C'mon god, you know you want to see it...

UP THE FUGGIN DOCKERS!!!!!

Got a nice long walk in to burn some nerves and get some dopamine, going to put a new clothesline up, and avoid Bigfooty like the plague until we next win, whether that is today or in 2026.

By my scientific calculations I believe the key to winning the game will be having more points at the end of the game then the dogs.

This game will go one of 4 ways
1. We lose 60+
2. We dominate but arty jones has the greatest game of his life and we lose because their absolute junk have career best games
3. We dominate but kick 8 goals 22 behinds and lose by 10
4. The stars align and break the dockery curse and win

Can we all agree on #4

Go well Freo.

We need to be 42 points better than them to win, and avoid the umps.
