GAME DAY - Round 16

Fremantle by 27, i expect a massive effort from our boys but the difference in class to be obvious and ultimately the difference.

 

Lets face it Freo is not likely to be worried about melbourne, their coach can fire them up as much as he likes the players will still be saying to themselves we are playing Melbourne, whats the problems. This does give us a chance to be far more competitive, the issue for the Dees as always is can we put 4 quarters together and can we minimise the number of turnovers. If yes to these two things we have a chance, if we fail in either we will loose.

Without a 4 quarter performance we will get smashed.

We must limit dumb turn overs and skill errors.

Go dees!!
 

Limiting the turnovers, and emphasising movement around the stoppages are the keys for the Dees.

But like in many games this year, we lack class against Fyfe, Pavlich, Ballantyne, Hill and I am unsure how we will go against Sandilands. Gawn is only a few cms shorter but hasn't got the body size and experience.

Freo by about 30.

Luckily Hill is not playing!

Freo don't tend to blow teams away.

Hopefully we put in a 4 quarter effort.

4 quarter effort should be a given... But we tend to take 20 minute naps each game.

And I have to go out tonight ... Making polite conversation while trying to check the score on my phone under the table cloth. Them by 5 goals. Jodie to have a good game, Colin to kick 2 and Watts to struggle.

If we get up I might just try the old "pull the table cloth off without disturbing the cutlery" trick!

Go Dees!

Pav out...
 

I think Freo are taking this game as a slam dunk and resting some key players.

Dom Barry is our sub. Michael Apeness, who comes in for Pavlich, will debut. Morabito the sub for Freo. #AFLDeesFreo

No changes for us, but Freo skipper Matthew Pavlich is a late withdrawal #AFLDeesFreo

wow that could change things. Massive loss for them.

They dont respect us :rolleyes: lol

Pavlich and Hill out

Will be disappointing to lose this

They dont respect us :rolleyes: lol

I think if they had sandilands out then id be suspicious. Maybe Frawley will go back to the forward line now.

Lol... They have more than 2 good players mate

That only leaves them with Sandilands and Fyfe and Mundy and Barlow and ……..

We make poor decisions without the best pressure team in football to play against. I hope we bring a strong effort but my gut tells me this could be ugly.

Watch as we turn Michael Apeness into a cult hero. I have a bad feeling....

Massive chance today- heading away as a group pulled us together against the crows. expect a lot of tackles and many negating roles to be effective, last man standing and a low scoring win from the demons.

I think if they had sandilands out then id be suspicious. Maybe Frawley will go back to the forward line now.

I wasnt serious :)

I wasnt serious :)

yeah I know.

So apparently according to mfc twitter its 25 deg but when the game starts it should get down to 19. Not sure about the humidity though.

I think we could win this, but to say it would be disappointing to lose just beause Freo have two of their very very long list of star players out is laughable.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
