[The Feeder Club]

Will we play the Eagles in some sort of unofficial scratchie between all stars and Demons?

Interesting that the opening round sides are being taken care of in the preseason fixture, with a potential bias.

Opening Round:
Brisbane (7 day break) v Geelong (9 day break)
Sydney (7 day break) v Hawthorn (8 day break)
Gold Coast (8 day break) v Essendon (11 day break)
Western Sydney (9 day break) v Collingwood (11 day break)

I'm struggling to see who is advantaged by that to be honest. At the start of the season is an 11 day break after your warm up game good or bad?

Don't think so

Since Gather round it has been 1 official and 1 match sim or practice

Ours is taken up by the indigenous game, so the Dees hits our quota of 2 games

You can’t tell anything of the sort.

The last time they had a chance to prove this statement is true - the boys folded like meek puppies to a Port Adelaide side with relatively little to play for compared to us, when an entire season of hard work and effort was on the line.

Fans were outraged for about one day then the club cleverly used Ryan Daniels to float a kozzie Pickett trade rumour that turned out to be hot air and the team and coaches escaped a horrible failure of a performance with practically zero scrutiny and introspection from the wider fanbase.

Forgive me for being a skeptic at this point but I’ll believe the bolded when I see hard evidence that’s it’s true at AFL level and not a second beforehand.

You remember we played that game against Port without Darcy, Treacy and Pearce. We were in it up to our eyeballs. That was a good performance considering who was missing.

I'm pretty happy with those games, might have to catch the train down to Mandurah to go watch the game against Melbourne, will definitely be going to the Indigenous All Stars game too.

I think the interstate sides are all effectively starting their season of fatigue a week earlier, I don't see the practice games as match fitness as much as they are game plan practice against uncontrolled opponents.

That's where our depth needs to come in and do a C- job.

Interstate or non-Victorian?
Sorry, I just dislike the use of that term as to me it is very Victoriocentric (new word?)

In the context of AFL executive decisions then interstate means exactly non Victorian.

I understand that, but by continuing with that language on a Freo forum buys into their narrative.
It's like the way AFL is accepted as the name for the sport, checkside is used for banana kicks, & deefense is used instead of defense.
I say language matters
