Drizz Sub.

 

[Footskill]

Looks like perfect weather for footy

 

[Footskill]

Drizz Sub.

Positive feeling about drizz as sub compared to ones we have used this year such as jom, Aish, worner

 

[Sumwun]

Get back onboard all you non-believers.

 

[Kapow!!!]

I hope those first two in particular were pulled aside and asked to give us something special. Two very important players with the most room for improvement and to make a real difference.

If Reidy can be competitive for 60% of the game (assuming that's all he'll be able to manage) and Chapman can continue his upward trajectory towards form it's entirely possible they'll be able to have the freedom to find that something extra they're capable of without added pressure.

"We feel like the forward structure benefits from having two genuine ruckman in the team."

"It allows our tall forwards to be tall forwards and that's an important part of how we play"

Just a bit late on such a fundamental part of the team structure from our coaching staff. Better late than never but why only recognise that now??

Where was this last week

 

[Purpletown]

Where was this last week

Exactly.

 

[mike91]

Amiss was extremely disappointing last week. Physically manhandled and with Taylor on him, he needs to find a way to get involved if we're even the slightest chance.

Ryan, Freddy, and ffs any chance Jackson can do something? Anything?!

Hopefully we pull a massive surprise, but it seems highly unlikely

Where was this last week

Where was this v Hawthorn. Port. Carlton?
Wayyyyy too late to finally realise this by the second last round of the season

 

[Bastyy]

Reidy set shot after the siren to win the game, there is no other possible outcome

 

[StingBitten]

As disappointing as the season has become over the last 2 weeks - we've rocked up to and been in the game for the vast majority of performances this season.

Do that again and anything can happen. Hell we are due some luck our way too.

Key here are the words '2 weeks' - in any other season 2 bad weeks wouldn't likely spell the end of Top 2/4 to missing finals. Curse our Dockery luck!

Only way I see it working today is pouncing immediately, win the clearance and convert early opportunities. We will not win clawing our way back.

Well, I built a brick raised garden bed yesterday and now I'm too wrecked to peak and trough... go on Freo, I dare ya!!!

 

[freo84]

Stuck at work

Nasty headache

Freo please give me something to smile about.

 

[ozzie69]

Here ar the ground, there's actually quite a bit of purple around (and a lot of empty seats)

 

[Boppo]

It’s p1ssing down in Freo, I’m surrounded by pubs, there’s footy and I just got paid. Cmon you mongrels.

I'd like to see a last quarter where they don't play safe keepy-offs and collectively soil themselves under the slightest of pressure.
Give them a 4 goal start and their defence is not letting us back in to this one

 

[Footskill]

If they get out to four goal lead like last week, could get ugly ..so let's get off too a good start please

 

[mike91]

God I hope I'm wrong, but Hogan, Toby and Taylor will take the piss today

The mindset when we are complete underdogs suits us. The problem is we can’t win a flag with that mindset, (as you need to be able to win games as favourite) but that’s a problem for another day.

Today it’s about tapping in to that mindset. If we are still in the game at the 3Q mark we should be full of belief.
Throw the ****ing kitchen sink at them in the last then.

We’ll probably be down 73 points at 3 quarter time for that to happen

Good luck to the big fella
