Game Day Freo v North at Optus Gameday thread

[Waussie]

I haven't kept up with other teams enough in the last couple of years to really know, how bad are Fremantle's forced outs for them?

They bat deep.

 

[rippersnipper]

I think a win is beyond them but I would love to see the lads score 80+. If we're going to lose by 10+ goals I don't want to see them only hit 40-50.

 

[DuckYeah]

Margin will be 15 goals

Margin will be 15 goals

Wow. That’s optimistic but with the players freo have lost it’s possible. I reckon we will win but not quite sure what the margin will be. Maybe closer to 10 goals.

Go North!!!!!!!!

Good to see we share the same optimistic views

Really happy Jeds back. Gives us a harder edge in the middle which we’ve really missed.

It has to click sooner or later. A bonding trip to Perth escaping the shitty weather, Freo rattled by The Vid, Jed's back, JHF coming off Rising Star nom, and my Freo loving sister is town to watch the game with me.

Why not tonight?!

Come on boys, time to start the upward trend and get the media back pedaling.

There needs to be a German (or Austrian if we want to be persnickety) accent font.

Walker might be better at attacking the ball as a Forward. He seemingly lacks confidence over head this year with his marking. So I am confident he will take marks, whether he converts…

Which was his best attribute last year.

Exactly.
It’s alarming the drop off

 

[Samsquanch]

I am feeling very optimistic today!

I bet it won't last.

I’d rather play CJ as our Key forward, get Curtis and Zurhaar to crumb off him.

Won’t happen though because the coach seems determined to go with a 2 ruck set up even though it’s killing us.

Why not tonight? because our forwardline is going to be makeshift and I expect it to be a bit of a shambles. I think we will find it hard to kick a winning score on that basis.

However, it would be great if there was stepped improvement in ball movement everywhere else. Increased I50s, increased meters gained through the middle.

A game where afterwards, regardless of result, it is clear to everyone that we do have a pathway forward and things may have been cack but they will not always be that way.

Strikes me as someone too slow to not get the ball punched away on the lead.

Would love to see him prove all doubters wrong though!

8.40 start sucks, will be hard to watch getting smashed at 11pm after a long week.

ah, but our forward line is less of makeshift unit than theirs. Treacy, 19 years old and 2 games this year, Schultz has only played 50 games, Henry a 20 year old who has played 1 game this year, Switkowski has played less than 50 games and Amiss is debuting. Waters is the only one with experience.

Compared to Sleavo, JZ, CZ, Jed plus TT and Curtis that's pretty raw.

Just want to see a 4 quarter effort and be competitive for longer.

Their outs help, but their system will cover them pretty well. Our work rate, or lack thereof will be exposed on the big ground if we don’t bring the required effort.

Hoping to be still in it late and get that buzz again, sick of being belted.

Hiding behind different bushes I hope

Seriously, I hope you get a good game over there tonight. Looking forward to a massive "GO ROOS" coming across over top of the commentry.
