Gonna laugh when Rankine/Ainsworth kicks a bag on us.
7-1 and quality players can't get in the team and this is the way we're thinking?
Cobbler is right there's some real Indian scarcity mentality on this board.
Maybe it's a fancy name for Freo PTSD.What’s an Indian scarcity mentality?
I'm not laughing at your post - it's the 'soft knobs' remark that induced my reaction, hahahaDanger smanger.
What’s with all the soft knobs about the place?
The only question you need to ask is can Freo score more than 50? Because GC sure as hell won’t be scoring more than that.
I don’t think it will be a ‘comprehensive’ win as such but rather a comfy 25 point win in terrible conditions.
67-42 to Freo.
Pull away in the 3rd when we put our go to work pants on.
I think our version has done way more rowan thoughUnsung hero of the 2006 premiership.
Maybe it's a fancy name for Freo PTSD.
Freo supporters need to start being brave and believe. Like me.
Did I say we're gonna lose? I just stated that our only good small lock down def got dropped against 2 good small forwards.7-1 and quality players can't get in the team and this is the way we're thinking?

I think it refers to this:

But I’m interested in how it applies to Freo fans.

What’s your prediction then? Just for posterity.Haha.
Last few weeks it’s been the same from some supporters. I’ve maintained my belief throughout.
Essendon - ‘bogey side. We better turn up.’
Result? We flogged them. I predicted 44 point win.
Carlton - ‘Wah wah Curnow… circle jerk McKay. Yada yada Cripps.’
Result? We flogged them. I predicted 30+ point win.
Geelong - ‘Bigger bodies. Key players out. I sleep with the lights on’
Result? Nervy, yet had them buried win.
I predicted 16 point win.
North - ‘We can’t take them lightly! They have a decent midfield’
Result? We flogged them.
I predicted 83 point win.
Gold Coast - ‘They’re actually not too bad. Metricon is a bogey stadium. My mum still packs my lunches’
Result?
I made the call previously.What’s your prediction then? Just for posterity.
I’ll go first, Freo by 36 just because it will be wet.
Was never going to play this week, would be a deadset liability in the wet.Damn it. Really wanted to see Amiss play again. That kid is as classy as they get
How do you not read that and see how it applies to Freo fans?
We are staring at our first genuine premiership and it's coming latest by 2025.
Ffs just believe everyone!
Comment to Avatar correlation good.Freo supporters need to start being brave and believe. Like me.
Pearce on Casboult, Griff on Chol. Cox is becoming a genuine utility and floating interceptor.Yeah not a fan of the 3 talls down back unless we're versing an attack with two tall threats (e.g. calrton geelong). I don't trust that griff has improved his ability to play on smalls. He's literally taken a KPF in every game he's played since being dropped.
Prediction … Ryan late out, Walker In.
Gold Coast - ‘They’re actually not too bad. Metricon is a bogey stadium. My mum still packs my lunches’
Result?
Hmm yeah: ‘people need to recognize how not having enough of something can make us so maniacally focused on short-term solutions that we lose sight of our priorities. In those moments, they say, it's important to look up, to notice we are inside a tunnel.’
So not having enough premierships is making Freo fans quibble over minor details, such as whether Brandon Walker (he of the amazing closing speed and perfectly timed fists) plays, will mean we lose this game and regress back to mediocrity, when in fact we need to take a wholistic view and see the improvement of the side as a whole, and know that Brandon’s role can be done by someone else?
Look, I’d like to believe these things, but Freo has damaged me, and although we are doing many things to break convention this year: winning games after big wins, beating the cats in Geelong, winning all our away games, having the best defence, having elite pressure in the front half, etc, it’s going to take a lot to undamage me.
