Happy to see Hannath get a run. I expect Richmond to take it up to us. A bit of unknown in their team which can make them a bit unpredictable.

Hopefully we get over the line with no injuries to both teams.

I'm most looking forward to the media fall out if Richmond lose...

Tigers by a goal.
 
tiger mids will have to bring their a game to compete with freo's fanatical press.

If freo can strangle them like they did to us, AND hit the scoreboard (like they didn't manage to do against us) then it'll go a long way to winning the game
 
Interesting game, Richmond has picked for speed and run with the inclusions in the side. Collingwood showed last week if you apply enough pressure you can restrict Richmonds spread and run. If the Tigers can use the big ground to their advantage it will be game on. Freo go in as favourites; however if Richmond want to be a true dink finals contender need to win games like this.

Can't see Richmond winning this one. Missing Chaplin from the defense, as well as Tuck, Foley and Conca from the midfield. Morris missing, expect Ballantyne to do well. I expect Fremantle to be just too good in the midfield. I feel like Richmond needs Chaplin to balance the backline, and the loss of Conca means Richmond don't bat as long meaning they'll probably tire given it's a large ground. Richmond are playing too many players who are not up to afl standard yet, like White and Helbig. Batchelor and Vlastuin are handy ins, but I feel that Richmond aren't good enough to win this one. I don't see Fremantle blowing Richmond out of the water though, I mean West Coast only lost by 5 goals, and they had injuries before and during the match. So it'll be tight, but a solid 21 point win to Fremantle is my guess. If Richmond play the way they played against Collingwood they have no chance.
 
Freo by 131.

Zac Dawson to become blind and keep Vickery/Riewoldt/Jordan McMahon goalless.





In all seriousness I think we're lose purely because of the 4 outs, all very big parts of the team, you don't just take 4 important members of the team out and hope to win.

The fallout will only be bad if Richmond are bad. The fallout from the weekend was bad because of the shocking 3rd quarter, and generally Fremantle don't blow sides out of the water.

Freo by 130 points.

Zac Dawson to play a blinder and keep Vickery/Reiwoldt (whoever plays deeper) goalless.

Dawson hasn't been replaced by Scarlett has he? I'm guessing the scoreline will be something like 69-91 your way.

Dockers by not much at all. Tigers have some outs, but with no Pav, Chaplin isn't essential, have some good small defenders to cover for morris, but will eventually lose it in the middle with no Tuck/Conca. Freo mids should be able to play better for longer due to depth.
