Very noice.

Jezza took a morning flight to Adelaide after the birth of his kid in ‘73.

State Game.

Snagged a lazy 10.

Hoping Orazio has just been building towards full fitness these last few rounds and is ready to explode. Playing in his home town on a ground he's done some damage on before. 3-4 goals from him would be delicious.

I don’t think we will see the best of Orazio until the second half of the year.

In saying that he is talented enough to open up a game at less than 100%. The problem is his obvious injury risk.

I like him because he demands respect from an opposition defender, can create a goal from nothing.

 

[My Hat]

I would rather see someone like Cincotta as sub. I just don't think the likes of Durds, Raz or Owies gives us that much flexibility if we loose a soldier early in the game.

Reckon it makes a certain degree of sense with our current lineup. A forward comes on as sub, someone like Kennedy moves to more of a midfield role, and any other shuffles happen as needed from there.

Please don't explode Razz. The cleanup would be horrible.

Owies isn't sexy but 3 goals last week no chance he is sub

Just made the mistake of going to the freo board, jesus.. didn't realise we had such a bad rap with them. I actually quite like Fremantle ..
Also on their write-up, they have said our supporters spat on our players last year? I do remember the video of one or two 'fans' being vile and screaming at the players walking off the field, but wasnt it richmond supporters who spat on their players like 20 years ago?? Or am I mistaken..

You've had the wood on us even when you guys were no good ... Wouldn't take it personally, we (like everyone else) don't really like sides that beat us

Looking forward to this game, think it'll be a great test for us and chance to see where we're at. Neither sides had a tough draw so far and will be good to see how we go against a good side.



Pearce will get McKay, he's far too big for the others. I know a lot of you are thinking Draper gets Curnow, but really I don't think there's a chance in hell JL would throw him to the wolves like that. Curnow would kick 10+ on him I rekon. Drapers had a great start but his strengths are composure and what he does with the ball, he's managed to avoid being in many 1-on-1 contests.
Didn't Ryan keep Curnow goalless last year? That matchup makes a lot more sense from our end.


Don't think it'll matter too much, your forwards will be too much unless our midfield can really get on top and save them from 1-on-1s.

Charlie kicked 2 on him last year. TBF was a 9 goal loss for you so 2 is a great job.

Charlie kicked 2 on him in 2022. Better performance in comparison by Charlie that game in a 6 goal loss.

So pencil him in for two on Saturday.

Always a question mark how much McKay will get and his overall performance isn't necessarily dictated by how heavily he hits the scoreboard in his dual role. If he can hold his own when he lets TDK rest against Jackson and is a presence when forward it won't always matter how many he kicks.

Cripps announced the birth of their baby girl a few minutes ago on IG. Congrats to them both!

Now get to Adelaide and continue your stellar form

Great news and congrats to Patrick and Monique…

Amiss 7
Treacy 4
Taberner 4
Walters 4
Jackson 4

Over three games 1.5 goals per game, EACH. Not exactly the big scary forward line.

will be a bad out for them against us.
Hopefully our big 2 are a handful for Pearce - he was really influential last week.
Happy Darcy is out..
midfield could be interesting, serong looks amazing for them.

Durdin sub from the looks, think cottrell is a role player so subbing him doesn’t make sense at this stage. Owies kicks enough goals to get a start.

 

[lily of laguna]

Freo have played Brissy, Nth and crows, 2 at home and Nth away not much to be taken from that form line.

Yes we have played both Brissy and Nth too but at the Gabba is much more of a challenge and Brissy played their best footy of the year in the first half against us.

Nth challenged Freo much more than us but was a Vic game so probably still a good win for them but we were never troubled in that game completely shutting out Nths “norfball” TM something that Freo didn’t do.

We have seen the crows form this year it is putrid so an easy win for Freo there.

Richmond are much harder team to play against but they had some terrible in game injuries but that can often galvanise a team too.

So overall tldr, we are better and going to beat em!!!!!!!

Not the first time I’ve read ‘anal leakage’ in a disclaimer.

Makes no difference.

You’ll find there’s a clear causative connection between misstating a KPF’s height by 3cm and gastrointestinal disorders.

You’ll be hearing from my solicitors in due course.

Bugger.

David King has tipped us to win easily, that we will "flex" against Freo.

Freo by 3-4 goals now.

David King also tipped Voss to turn things around when we were fourth last (or whatever it was) last season when no one else did

David King: “I think the biggest statement that will be made this weekend is Carlton, I think Carlton are going to flex against the Dockers & a flex doesn't necessarily mean by 30 goals it's just being true to themselves.

They're a different team, I put some numbers up the other day.. they've got the assets to mix it [with the best teams], they're not winning on clearance anymore they're winning on ball movement, that's a much better profile than they've ever had.

I think Carlton have got assets we're not talking about, they've got four half back flankers who can kick the lights out of the thing it's amazing.”

Then when you consider the kicking prowess of Gov and Weiters, that's a hell of an advantage.

I don't think he's counting Gov and Weiters as half-back flankers.
Great kicks though.

Add in Kemp to complete the back 7, then who's the worst kick of the lot? Newman? It's a good weapon to have

Gov would be considered a HB by King, given he can play tall and small, similar to Howe

I don't rate Kemp as the type to "kick the lights out", more so a long penetrating kick

Needs to work on his decision making for targeting better outlets

 

[AlecDuncan]

Kemp, but he provides run and attacking mindset that Marchbank doesn’t have yet.
