Can we Beat Freo

I'd price it:

Freo 1.65

Us 2.40

Freo the value there.

I'd price it:

Melb : 2.90

freo : 1.45

At this stage, no we can't. But if we have a real crack and play direct football then maybe.

With sylvia and rivers hopefully coming back in maybe...

Can we Beat Freo

nope..

we can.......but i doubt we will

i think tarrant and the pav will have a field day

good thing farmer isnt playing

The Question is, Do they want to beat Freo?

Crowd predictions for next Sunday?

24, 683 if its a nice day

18, 005 if its not

Can we Beat Freo

Wouldn't think so

Only if the plane crashes

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Not that I hope it does, but that's pretty funny!

If we can keep Freo to less than 8 goals we might!

Interesting game for both coaches....

Either team is 0 and 4 you would expect the wolves in the media to be circling either ND or Connolly.

Can we Beat Freo

Bloody well hope so.....

And I think the claws are probably already out Rhino !!!

Amazing to think one of these teams will be 0-4!!!

Id laugh my ass off if it was Freo

Bigger pretenders than us

Mmmm let me think

NO

Amazing to think one of these teams will be 0-4!!!

Id laugh my ass off if it was Freo

Bigger pretenders than us

And what would you do if it was MFC? Stitch your ass back on.

FWIW, Freo traded for Tarrant on the basis of this being their big year. They do not have significant injuries but obviously poor form. Its a bigger fall for them.

Last year, they won the WA Derby and then came to the MCG and played like pussycats against us.

Its the other way around this year and I hate to think what could happen!

If they lose then Connolly would be in the gun.

The boys have been training the whole summer emphasising the run and carry game, now is the time to use it to try and win using the cattle we've got. We have to play a western bulldogs style game, with Greeny filling the role of Brad Johnson. Having a smaller player as the number one forward means the ball has to come in quickly and low to the leading player in plenty of space, 3 commodities which have not been part of our game plan this year. Greeny is quick, a very good mark and can kick em from anywhere in the 50, he plays the full forward role in a similar fashion to brad johnson.

Id place Greeny, ooze and either Holland, PJ or whitey in the square. The big bloke stays at home for the long kick to the square or is the first lead wide to rake there defender out of the way, then ducks back to the square. Ooze and greeny work the forward fifty leading up at the ball carrier.

Space is important for this to work, Miller would play well up the ground being the link player between the rebound 50 and the attacking charge forward. He has a huge engine and must run all day, he is never going to take big contested plucks, though needs to be taking the ball out in front cos he is running his opponent into the ground like last time we played freo.

Bruce has to play the HFF like Ben cousins does, he needs to work from the HFF all the way down to defence, like an extra midfielder. He will need to be a link player from defence to attack either leading up to the ball like miller or running behind the ball. He will be the most important player in setting the whole game plan up, he will have to run himself into the ground and almost be everywhere, but he can do it. He's our best player and the fittest at the club. Flash will roam around the top of the 50 and get front and centre to the 3 forwards or if miller/bruce has the ball on the HBF he can lead up to be the next option.

Speed is almost the essential ingredient, unlike rnd 1, we have to move the ball quickly from defence to attack so that we can keep the forward line open for our small leading forwards. Almost everyone from the centreline back has to attack , run and carry the ball. For this to work effectively, playing on at all costs and taking risks must be the message, ward and belly have good run and dash and will be very important players. Belly should be used in a very attacking role rather than playing on the small forward.

In terms of changes, Jamar must go as he will not get near sandilands in the ruck and is useless around the ground. PJ can give whitey a brief chopout and is alot more agile around the ground and versitile giving us an option up forward and can go back in extreme circumstances (today).

Beamer has a groin

Browny may be a bit stiff, although is our third small back and is slow.

Godfrey is a run with player, but does he actually tag any1?, Bartel had 35 today? will be sacrificed for the game were going to play.

Its time to give a young bloke a go and see if he can cut it, watching the 3 collingwood boys run around on friday night showed us that we are lacking a bit of youthful exuberance. pettard has played well for sandy and it would be great to see him thrown in at the deepend.

Only 1 of pickett and sylvia cos we cant afford to carry underdone blokes playing this game plan.

CJ is the perfect type for this gameplan

Its about time bizz had a go, so many times he has done a great job in defence, without rivers we are a bit rudderless, hopefully he can do what he has done for us before.

I really hope danners goes out and trys to win using what we've got, and doesnt resort to terry wallace vs the crows last yr. This is just an idea, tear it to shreds if u see fit!!!!!!!!

And what would you do if it was MFC? Stitch your ass back on.

I wouldnt care, because if the players and coaches dont care then why should i?

Crowd predictions for next Sunday?
