Game Day Freo v North at Optus Gameday thread

[DuckYeah]

840 start can FRO. This is Victorias game you clowns. 640 start in WA? Don’t play Friday night games then. Be ****ing 11:15 before the final siren. The **** is that? **** off Gil..

… i’ll be ****ing blind by then! What a joke

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

North planning for the second kick out of defence is like me wondering what I'll do with my 2nd million.

So not required planning yet but if so would give it straight back to the opposition?

Sounds like my share market "experience"!

 

[ferball]

Has to be the smallest forward 6 we've ever fielded

We'll kick 22 goals and change the way footy is played.

Everyone will say "Ahhh, that's why they dumped Ben Brown."

 

[ferball]

It can be spun many ways.

Darcy is arguably one of the best rucks in the league replacing Meek
Then three picks inside the top ten and top 15 pick Heath Chapman. Chapman and Young have been in the top three impacting players for Freo in a few games when they actually played this season, but Young will definitely turn the ball over in a way that North scores from.

The way North win this is will elite ball use from that second kick out of defense, if the ball is being turned over forward half North are in trouble, but if that kick from half back is elite the whole ground will open up and I don't think our outside running speed is there this week.

Well that's us ****ed then.

 

[ferball]

I wasn't trolling, I swear. Freo are missing a lot of our forward pressure this week and Acres runs so much of that extra guy in defense to relieve pressure that I'm not sure if the replacement is capable of that workload.

So our scoring from turnovers on our halfback line is going to be blunted significantly. Our mids both score between 20 and 30% of clearances so neither is particularly strong there.

If Freo can't score on turnover we lose this game.

I don't think there's a relationship between turnovers from our defense and oppo forward pressure.

They're more of a universal constant.

 

[ferball]

Mate, mate, mate.

We're all North tragics on here.

But our team contemplating beating anyone with our "elite ball use" is like me deciding I'll beat Floyd Mayweather with my lightning reflexes.

Or Oscar Wilde with your sparkling wit.

Harsh.

But fair.

I do like the idea of Noble calling the boys in 10 minutes before running out.

"Ok boys forget tactics, forget all our set plays. Just play beautiful football and let your skills do the talking for you".

 

[ferball]

Harsh.

But fair.

I thought you were gonna object and i was planning on responding with that. Are you psycho psychic?

That would be great.

Can you imagine if Brad Scott had done that?





















Me neither.

True, but being 5 goals down by 1.30pm, stone cold sober, is worse.

Tbh they should start it later…

You just described the first few weeks of Rhyce Shaw

How are all you tragic watching the game? Do you have an online chat board to stay in touch with all the "OMGs" and "come on north, not 7 goals down in the first!"

Thanks Kanga for your interpretation of my tongue in cheek joke.

Finally. My first game in a couple of years. Taking the Mrs and the 5yo along. Already cracked a beer as beer prices at Optus are up their with real estate.

"What set plays?"

 

[Flawed Genius]

"What set plays?"

The one where our resting halfback takes the kick out and lasers a 55m bullet to the opposition CHF at the top of the 50

Expecting a margin similar to the Brisbane game tbh.

Good plan. Sink 6 or 8 before you go, but quickly enough that you can get in the gates before the beers kick in too much.

 

[Samsquanch]

you don't suspect..... An alt-account????

 

[Rod Stroker]

Why can't he kick 5?!

My rising star nom I really couldn't care less about, the kid is a jet and I just want him to keep building.

He can. But I think it's highly unlikely that he will.

Can do is not the same as Will do

Kayo for the folks in Oz.

This is it, the GDT!
