The loser of this match WILL NOT PLAY FINALS FOOTBALL THIS YEAR! 12 games will get you in this year in a VERY even comp. 12 out of a remaining 18 is mathematically possibe, but add injuries and travel into the picture and finals looks out of reach.

0-4 is a recipe for an early mad monday.

Let us hope it is those purpel bastards who lose and not us!

Freo beat us in 05 badly at the G. I fear it will occur again. I cant see us winning

Des Headland, Josh Carr, Andrew Browne, Brett Peake, Michael Johnson & Farmer all out for Freo gives Melbourne a chance.

Absolutely pales in comparion to having no Neitz, Rovertson, Mclean, Bartram, Johnstone, Moloney, Sylvia , Pickett, Rivers etccc

Yep, this is really crunchtime, lose this match and it will be a long dark season, win and we still have a chance to get back on track, although I doubt we will repeat last year. But you never knw, but we HAVE to start this week ! If they can't put in 100% this week then I am despairing for what will make them do so

we need to break out that "please win" banner again
