Swans by 24+

Without offending Fremantle, who in my view are building a team of the future, we will win this 4 goals plus in the rain, more if it stays fine.

Onwards to victory!!! :largeredcircle::mwcirlce::largeredcircle::mwcirlce:
 
Ultimately, Freo will try to bring us down to their level. Think 44-all draw Clanger fest. The good news is they never score enough points for us to be blown away or ever be out of it.

The 2022 comeback was one of Horse’s best examples of a plan B as we changed course to the elite kicking / uncontested play - result was we carved them up.

Keep it simple in the wet, bang it forward, don’t over hand ball and watch for skidding balls out the back.

As long as Gianfagna understands its Freo not FreeO then we’ve got this as ultimately our speed across the ground and attack on the contest will see us literally running away with it.

Swans 86 to 55.

Hard to believe that the Dockers were belted by the Eagles three weeks ago. Two solid wins over teams you would expect them to beat has covered up everything.
I'm not so sure.

I watched the Richmond and Dogs games.

The Tigers were so so so bad. It was like watching North at their worst.
 
Never an easy game away to Freo. Heck, we've lost to them at home in recent years.

But I've got a good feeling about this one - provided they stick to the game plan, where pressure on the ball carrier will always be at the top of Horse's list.
Serong and Young in particular will hurt us if that pressure level isn't high. Grundy only needs to break even with Jackson for that to be a net victory, but it won't be easy.

Hopefully Francis slots in nicely and isn't a major downgrade on Tommy.

Swans by 8.
