Follow & Discuss all the action from the Dockers & Bulldogs game that will decide our 2020 fate. 

What’s your prediction?

If I’ve learned anything from 20 years of footy tipping, is never trust Fremantle. Or as they’ve been affectionately dubbed by my friends and I “Failmantle”. 
Hope I’m wrong and Hogan has a blinder to help out his old mates. 
This is definitely not the way I want us to make finals. 

Heave ho Freo!

Fyfe, Hogan, Brsayshaw, Cerra, Lobb , Tabrener, Mundy, Ryan , Henry, Serong....  too much talent for the fragile Bulldogs.

Dockers by 24

Dees to play FINALS

Warm day here in Cairns, with some wind.  Freo, they have a good record on this ground.

I would have a touch of confidence if Walters was playing as he can win games off his own boot however cant see it without him.   I think the dogs have a mental steel that we lack but very happy to be proven wrong. 

When I analyze this game with a bit of thaught. Dogs by 5 goals.

I can feel a touch of 87 all over again......

C'mon lads we know how this is scripted..

I all honesty I will be shocked if Freo knock off doggies. Anything is possible, but Beveridge has that ability to get the boys up for big occasions. 

They ain't dropping this one unfortunately. 

I think this could be close...Freo by under a goal. Go you good thing!!

I know Freo  are big in Westralia but I always considered them a nonentity  club !

Now we find ourselves hanging on their coat tails.

Anyway they are in @Ethan Tremblayterritory so I'll wait on his deeply considered insights and prognostications.

Will know within the first 10 minutes we aren’t playing finals. 

But stranger things have happened, so go Doctors!

Dogs have the required mental fortitude and gumption built in to their make up. 
 

We’ll all be put out of our misery today.

It'll either be.

A close one and go either way. (Dogs if that's the case)
OR
The dogs will absolutely smash them by 40+

unfortunately i think footscray will do it easy

they've been good since we played em back into form

Walters out tips it even further in the dogs favour. They are a good side this year imo, and I can’t see them dropping this the way they are playing. But fingers crossed the Dockers at least put them under some pressure and make them earn it.

Travelled all the way to Melbourne for this game because we could not lose. Sat behind the goal in shock was the longest drive home. 

Maybe Hogan can be the Modra of 2020. 

Maybe

Poor suckers hanging their hats on a Freo upset.

Dont do it to yourselves.

There would be many more clubs you'd want in this position other than the notoriously meek mannered Freo. I don't have the highest hope for it and that's perfectly fine, don't think it's possible to be accused of being a negative nancy about a team that isn't even mine but I'm sure some coconut will find a way!

4 times out of 5 the Dogs win this. But godspeed Freo.

Geez we sucked that year.

Yet we made the prelim and grand final either side of it.    Melbourne....

Dogs have a 5-0 record at Cazaly (all against the Suns though)

Freo are a much improved side and play a keeping-offs game style that may worry the dogs.

Freo need to tag the Bont, nullify Daniel and JJ and they’re a good chance.

I don't see the dogs letting this one slip unfortunately. If they do make it I'll probably cheer them on as my adopted team during the finals.

That was our one year on one year off period. 

Doesn't Red & Blue make Purple. Go Dockers

Is this MFC SS?

I dreamed that Footscray made a big recovery in Q4 from 30 points down, and scored a brilliant , after the siren,  angle goal from a dubious  deliberate o.o.b. free to win by a point.

#freekickbulldogs will be in full effect if Freo get any kind of lead.
