GAME DAY - Meet the Fockers

[Demon Disciple 11,133]

Need to come out hungry after half time, or else Ross the Toss will just shut the game down if they continue to hold a comfortable lead.

[Sir Why You Little 34,924]

Same margin as the beginning of the quarter basically.....we're doin ok

we are still in this.

Great the way the team has locked down

It was looking very ugly early.

Big Half Time Roosy

We must outscore them in the 3rd

[Wunders 392]

Wow at watts lack of effort. That last play his guy was double the distance he was to the ball and the guy tackles him as he picks up the ball... Get some fin intensity watts.. Killing me! So disappointed right now with him.

[Sleeve 67]

I'm so happy we're happy with being down by 20 points.

[Jaded No More 59,110]

We are not playing badly, they are just so much better than us.

I'd say we are breaking even in defence, we just can't get our hands on the ball at clearances.

If this margin stays at 20, we can say it's been a good day for us.

No shame in losing to the probable premiers.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

I'm pretty proud of the boys so far. Freo came out breathing fire and THIS time we didn't allow it to get too far ahead of us. We worked hard and were able to hit the scoreboard a bit, something we would have struggled to do in previous years.

There is still room for improvement too. Freo could well come out and turn the screws on us in the second half, but if you can't see that we're a far better side than last year then you're blind. We might lack some polish at times and turn it over when we shouldn't but we finally run both ways and we have guys who can apply constant pressure.

Fingers crossed for the second half.

[Spirit of 26 261]

Shut up troll.

As a wise man once said, "Give me possessions then I'll shut up"

[Bring Back Barassi 546]

i just cant believe how much we have improved in two pre-seasons.

After that pummeling at the opening we would have gone into our shells and been down 10 goals at quarter time and end up losing by 150 points in 2013.

[Ethan Tremblay 28,535]

How many weeks will Pav get for nosing Garland?

Would be like getting hit with a chisel.

[juzzk1d 1,354]

Fremantle use every opportunity when they play at the G as finals preparation. They have limited opportunity in actually playing at the Mcg. For us to be within 4 goals at half time just by looking at the stats I think is a fair achievement.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I love JKH but he needs to take the first option more.

Garlett has been terrific, Brayshaw looks the goods and the umpires must have got terrific odds on Fremantle.

[Ethan Tremblay 28,535]

Why can't anyone tackle fyfe?

Scared of giving away a free?

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Interesting that Frei have only won 3 out of 8 quarters in the second half....Will they tire....

[Jaded No More 59,110]

is anyone [censored] playing on Fyfe?!

3 players have been tried and failed. He is next level. Absolutely insane how good he is.

Don't speak too soon

[Deestroy All 14,262]

They've beaten the best teams in the comp, blown most of their games away by half time.

We're coming off being the worst team of all time, a quarter of our best 22 are out, they're full strength.

We're getting smashed stat-wise but we're putting up a fight.

If you're upset about this, you need a better hobby.

[inanunda 327]

Is Pavlich done?

[Moneider96 1,045]

Scared of giving away a free?

Ok?

[Earl Hood 5,821]

That 50 given to Freo was a gem. Never seen that before, so if you get a free now just run back fast at the nearest opposition player and claim interference! If you don't mind umpire!

Exactly. It's frustrating; I'm tearing what's left of my hair out and trying not to turn in to ragey football dad. Everyone wants to win, or at least think we could win, but the team can only do their best. I believe they are, they are just being badly outclasses, but still hanging on.

I can live with it.

[71 Molloy 266]

How good are Salem's hands? Sticky fingers, just does not fumble.

serious mate?

He has been creating contests, and spoiling etc.

Don't decide before the game even starts that Watts is doing bad things, because it clouds your view when the game actually starts.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Pavlich in track-suit and out for game!

Let's go Dees.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Pavolich has the tracksuit on its been reported....

Seriously this sort of [censored] is getting old. Just. [censored]. off.
