Game Day Around The Grounds Rounds 11 - 15

[tarczonandjane]

Lucky big footy didn't exist in 1970. Apparently there can be ebbs and flows in games and teams can look bad and come good.

This is a brilliant off-season idea. We should have a match day thread dedicated to the 1970 grand final!

 

[I bleed Blue]

Game over. Freo have done to Melbourne what they did to us. Deny the opposition the football with uncontested marks and then just slingshot with their outside speed.

Well done.

Very methodical

Melbourne haven't even tried to switch anything up to combat it either.

They are still allowing the easy chip and letting Freo just retain possession and rack up un contested marks

Why would they show how they would combat it now. Save that for September. (if they can)

 

[Rosscoe]

May crucial to dees defense.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

May crucial to dees defense.

And opposition mindset when attacking, inside 50 entries etc

 

[footyfan1978]

Either the Freo fans are very loud or Fox are adding to the sound. Seems like it's goin off at the G.

Best win in their club's history.
The whole 500 of them should be going off.

 

[myblueroan]

More Freo supporters at the G than Dees?

Well done.

They are very, very well coached.

 

[Accidental genius]

More Freo supporters at the G than Dees?

 

[TJohn]

Crikey. Hope we win tomorrow. If not, we slip to 5th.

 

[Keyza]

More Freo supporters at the G than Dees?

They were making a lot of noise.

 

[BigFrizz36]

May crucial to dees defense.

Yep. Shows the how quickly a game can change when a real key player goes down early in the game.

Pittonet going down against the Dockers really hurt us although we should have been good enough to overcome it.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Crikey. Hope we win tomorrow. If not, we slip to 5th.

Or a game off top when we win.

 

[Kruezing]

Ok as I was saying our aim should be top spot

 

[TJohn]

Yeah. Prefer when, not if.

Or a game off top when we win.

 

[Accidental genius]

Dogs not doing the indigenius round jumpers?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Dry season Darwin, noice.

Preferred the wet seasons but.

Ed: old mate Charlie King, who made a first ball duck in the NT Media v Aussie Womens friendly.

Yours truly got a 5 fer & saved the game.

 

[Blues_1864]

Which game to watch? Darwin I guess. But after 10 years in Perth, I never get tired of watching the Eagles lose...

 

[bmaurizio]

Freo are well coached, playing exciting footy and show strong potential, with a few important inclusions over next weeks, it will be a nightmare for any team travailing to Optus stadium.

 

[Wickzki]

No May no Dees

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Sunnyboys by a kick.

 

[Wickzki]

Dogs are so inconsistent they'll either win this one by a gallop or drop it in a boilover

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Reckon I know more Suns players than Hawks tonight.

 

[Blues177]

Freo love stopping other clubs very long winning streaks...like round 3 1996..

 

[BigFrizz36]

Sadly still unable to confirm that SPS is playing. Saw him pre game and saw him on the phone to the coach. Haven't seen him touch the ball though. Hoping that he comes good.
