Preview 2024 Round 16 Sydney v Fremantle (SCG) 1.45pm (AEST) Sat 29 June

[Tesla Tenet]

If my memory serves me correctly, the last time we played these guys at the SCG was a horror show. One of the worst games we played all year.

How a guess, if we select the same team as this week, how many different players would be playing from the 2023 SCG game?

Just get to 100


I respect the Dockers though, Danger game.

25 and 3 in twos

That’s his level at this stage. Mitchell has better form if we are going there- we shouldn’t.

Fox in and that should be it. Why people want to change for the sake of it I’ll never know.

Did anyone see what happened to Pearce today? Would he be in doubt for next week?

Maybe he is a software engineer?

It reminds me that when someone can't stop tinkering with something that isn't broken to see if they can improve it, and they never stop, it's called the 'banana effect'. Apparently it comes from a little girl who once said "I know how to spell banana, I just don't know when to stop."

Relevant XKCD.

Didn't he play out the game? Unless it happened late turned it off in the last quarter

Said it was an elbow or forearm injury on the radio.

He had it iced.

Treacy may have injured a shoulder too.

 

[sataris]

The ultimate toastie game.

 

[The King!]

The ultimate toastie season.

 

[swanssince2002]

We are with the Blues, Pies and Dons in the top 4... lmao

 

[wills2g]

Freo will play the SCG well. Their mids are their strong point and are winning centre clearances by a mile so single kick will get them inside 50.

I don't think this will be a walk in the park - it never is against Freo

 

[BloodySwan]

Freo have a shorter break, have to travel and had one of their best go off injured.

50+ point win

Reminds me of the wired world of sports skit by the 12th man. “Pearce Off. Jack. Gibbs On”

Bit of a danger game. We've been humming along nicely, jumped out of the blocks against GWS after allowing our opponents to get the jump early in the previous games, however, let GWS work their way back into it.

Sitting on top of the ladder by a fair margin and are expected to win. Has the hallmarks of a game we may drop due to complacency creeping in.

Hope I'm wrong and we thrash them. We certainly have the attack to put them to the sword, and have been able to score consistently against defensive side so we should be able to kick freo out of it.

 

[Nuggetz]

Why is this a 1.45pm game. Isn't it bad timing for WA viewers too?

I fear complacency setting in but have to say, I’ve seen zero trace of it so far.

There really is a very special and tangible esprit de corps about this mob of fine young lads.

Yep. Pints at 11.45 in the morning is a recipe for me ending up like Gary Busey by 4pm.

yes, not sure the afl cares tbh. we get a few a season every year.

 

[Big Blood]

This is perfect. I made a comment last time we played the Swans how “generally speaking” what a good lot you were….

This isn’t quite that!

Speaking of irrelevant history lessons, which you mention about 26 times and gives me license to respond, reminds me of your showing in the 22’ GF. I hosted a bunch of Expats that day to show case all things AFL. That didn’t go well. I ended up being asked to put the Premier League highlights on instead.

Had them all back for last years GF, and we kept it going, Phew.

Great to see our local boys helping you succeed . Good luck, hoping for an irrelevant upset

Haha, direct hit, well done.

 

[redstarforever_]

freo play a unique sort of style just somethin about em to give opponents a hard time esp if they turn up

 

[the hypnotoad]

Bloody Konstanty

Probably better for flying back to WA though

Like the time as a change up wouldn’t want it every week though prefer Sunday afternoon
