Game Day Freo v WCE - Preseason Game 1

[Allikat]

First game of 2017
First game with Fyfe as Captain
First game back for Fyfe after breaking his leg for the 2nd time
First game for Johnson since destroying his hamstring last year
First game in purple for new Dockers McCarthy, BHill, Kersten & Hamling
First look at a few of our new draftees Darcy & Cox
First game for Langdon where he has me as a buddy!

Today's game is at Wonthella Oval in Geraldton at 3.40pm WST. It's predicted to be a hot one, 40 degrees plus.

Pretty excited to see what the new guys can do. And pretty excited to put the 2016 season behind us.

 

[Sweetback]

Sea breeze should be coming in about then, so it might not be too bad heat wise.

Touché. I'm really excited to see our "shiny new" team out there today.

Unless Darling drops his load on the wing again and then that breeze will make it worse.

Yes it is.

No injuries please

And while I'm at it I have to credit the scheduling here- mid arvo in Gero in February. Golf claps all around

Shorter quarters and longer breaks. Seems fair.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Just glad footy's back. Keep telling myself it's preseason and the score doesn't matter, but hope we belt them.

 

[Mr Fonebone]

I am going to take time out from my busy schedule in Bali sitting by the pool drinking Bintang to watch it in a sports bar. I make a lot of sacrifices for my team.

Thats with TAB. They didnt have any first goals up. I was going to put Weller or Tabs first up.
I think we are a good chance. I dont think we are as shit as the media makes us out to be

Shame Cox isn't getting a run but he'll get a chance in the next couple of weeks.

I would never wish this on anyone...

You're going to need to be more specific.

 

[Mr Peabody]

You're going to need to be more specific.

I'm sensing in my bones, he's referring to Sam Mitchell.
