we need a butters masterclass tomorow to win if freo have a chance to play finals.
It will all be done and dusted before tomorrow's game and will be a dead rubber. In saying this, Freo won't be rolling over, though, in front of a home crowd. It will probably be good prep for finals, rather than playing witches hats!

Back in the day Port always had a tough run up to finals playing the top 4 teams and it was great preparation.
 
With the Eagles having shown up for the last half, there is still a chance we take 2nd with a loss. For each Port score, this is the maximum we can allow Freo to score to remain ahead of Geelong.

Still pi$$ing down in Perth.
80 points looks about a winning score tomorrow.
 
Size, strength and mongrel are nice but they aren't a replacement for actual production. Otherwise Matt Thomas would be a hall of famer.

Esava hasn't kicked a bag of 5 in his career and has never averaged 1 goal a season.

Esava has kicked 4 goals once, and 3 once, and 2 on 9 occasions.

Todd has kicked 5 goals on 4 occasions, 4 on 6 occasions, 3 on 10 occasions and 2 on 24 occasions.

Compare apples with apples . Esava has started being regular foward for less than half dozen matches and you are comparing him with Marshall 7 years shit show . But anyway you would not learn it .

Ratugolea was a key forward at Geelong for 4 years before he was moved to defence because he wasn't an effective key forward.
 
His form this year as a key forward is better than Ratugolea. Better than Lord. Better than McEntee would would be the next small in. Clearly so in all 3 cases.

If the doctors say he's not good to go, then he's not good to go and shouldn't be selected. But if he's fit, it's not worth selecting a clearly inferior forward ahead of him. He had more touches, marks and score involvements in a quarter against Melbourne than Ratugolea did in the entire game against Adelaide.

Honestly ask yourself , if you are defender which one you will like to play on ....Esava or Marshall ?
