I think the forecast is for a few clearing showers in the morning and then clearing to a fine day....

    I want Freo to win in a close one. Always nice to see a club that hasn't had any recent success get one.

    My main hope the umpiring is good.

    Hawks by 18 points - Freo won't be able to lock them down all day and they'll have the momentum for some period(s). They'll need to kick goals though - which I think they will - if they continue to miss from set shots like they have been then they'll lose.

    I hope Freo win though - Kennett, Dermott, Dipper, Buckenara, Newbold etc - they're easy to hate.

    Umpiring mistake resulting in Freo win - hard to top that really.

    Ill be going and supporting the dockers and Ross lyon who I was fortunate enough to see coach the Saints in the 2010 Grannie.

    Compare the players he had back then to work with to now.. He's in a much better position. Hopefully he & the Dockers can finally taste victory.

    Dockers by 11pts.

    Freo to win !! It appears I'm wearing purple socks today!!! So it's an omen !!

    Going to be very windy and I feel that will certainly favour Freo over Hawthorns less manic style .

    Hawthorn comfortably. Roughy to play in the middle to counter Freo's tall mids and his own loss of recent form.

  • Quote

    I'll go for Freo. I predict they will start off the game like they did with Collingwood at Subiaco earlier in the year. A tsunami like surge in the first quarter and then keep the Hawks at arms length the rest of the game.

  • Quote

    I jumped on Freo in late April when they were 17/1. Even Freo/Rabbitos was 75/1 and Freo/Roosters was 100/1.

    But what worries me is that a side like Richmond have the wood over Hawthorn. Richmond are the opposite of Freo. They hardly tackle and press etc.

    That is why I think I will lose my investments and Hawthorn might win by 28. Hope I'm 29 points off.

    You sound like a latent WC supporter. Do you have the same feelings for WC? A team that has routinely humilated us for over 2 decades. I smell a class traitor.

    Long Lunch DemonOX?

    That would have been nice old dee but no just me hoping more than anything.

    Let us look at the facts, hawks finished on top with 3 losses, they are playing at their home ground, they were runner up last year. It all points to a Dorks win if you work off the odds! But then both sides are physically equal for the challenge. But for me if you have been there you might just get a jump start to set you up for a win.

    I'm hoping for a similar result but in Hawthorns favour. It's almost nauseating in Perth at the moment if you're not a Freo supporter.

    If you lived in Perth and knew the history if how arrogant this club can be even when they're clearly sht, you would understand where DWA is coming from.

    I see it a different way. I wish we had this genuine in your face attitude and arrogance. They had a long time wallowing in [censored] and good luck to them. We have had even longer [censored] time. I kind of see more hope for us if they succeed. Perhaps you are confusing their now with their past Schwab/Connolly days.

    Hawks to win.

    Would hate to see Crowley and Ballantyne win a flag, even Ross Lyon gives me the runny bottoms.

    Isaac smith for norm smith.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
