B Brown in for Weid if he’s recovered from his knee injury. Otherwise no change.

Would prefer Meek to Grundy so we can pocket over half a million dollars to spend elsewhere on a more important position (key forward).

[censored] yeah good win

We’d have to throw in a first rounder. Andrew Brayshaw is a far better player than Jackson at this stage and is still only 22 himself.

Good percentage booster now. Keep going Dees, no soft goals in the dying minutes.

Get whatever we can for him. I’d love a swap for Young.

Midfields defensive running and blocking the corridor has been a lot better tonight. Viney had a great first half, Trac and Gus good too. Clarry well held tonight but thankfully his mates are doing their bit.

Gawn needs to find a new set shot routine. That is just atrocious.

Keep the foot down boys. Comfortable win from here with no injuries please.

You ripper Spargo!

Gotta withstand their charge here. We’re holding up well but bit over 5 mins left in quarter still.

[censored] yes! This is a decent buffer now. Let’s [censored] bring it home boys!

Gotta convert and keep the pressure on.

Good first half. We controlled the game and probably should’ve got a few more goals tbh. The real test is not fading away in the second half as we’ve been doing this year. Time to run our four quarters and kick off the run for another premiership.

Can they shut the [censored] up about Jackson and focus on the game?!

Going well here. We’re cutting off their attacks and rebounding beautifully.

Viney having a brilliant game. Mongrel and class on display.

Great rebound from Hunt and classy goal from Fritta. Nice transition boys!

Can’t sustain it. So frustrating we can rarely make the most of our dominance in play.

Few good efforts from Hunt there. Weid not getting to contests so far.

And another! We’re going hard here. Make the most of the momentum!

Yeah boy?!

Nice transition and perfect kick from Trac. Let’s get going here boys!

Hunt in was a good call by the selection committee. He's almost our best lockdown defender, and our balance has been off since his omission. Freo have poor tall forward options, especially if Lobb is curtailed. Hunt in helps lockdown the smalls like Walters, Schulz, Frederick etc. Freo will get momentum at some point, so Hunt and Hibberd's defending tonight will go a long way to determining the result IMO. Freo were a legit contender at the mid point of the year, but they've fallen away defensively recently. Very similar to us actually. I expect our midfield to fire up tonight and work harder both ways to get back to the Melbourne brand after degenerating into a shoot out last week.

I'm optimistic about tonight. Freo got us at a bad time mid season when TMac was first out. Our backline then battled as May and Petty got injured, and Petracca had a career worst game due to illness. The same result is very unlikely tonight. We showed patches of form last week agains the Dogs, even if we did get overrun. Ramping up to finals starts tonight. Tipping us to get the job done by 20 points.
