Western Derby Preview Round 3
Match Details
Sunday, 2nd April, 3:20 pm at Optus Stadium
Fremantle Dockers first two rounds resulted in two strong wins to start the 2023 season with a bang!
I preempted the first two round results after a solid preseason hit out, and how foolish do I look now after talking up the quality of match play during game simulations? I'm still waiting for some hate mail due to my overly optimistic preseason analysis. But enough of me preempting wins from Freo or daggers from bigfooty posters; let's get on with the derby.
Here is a little insight into myself and why I rate Freo over West Coast. It's pretty simple.
This is an awesome supporter.
Over this, not so awesome supporter.
Round 3, Western Derby, Fremantle Dockers vs West Coast Eagles.
The last time they played, Fremantle ran out winners 9.17 to 7.5 in wet and windy conditions. Early in 2022, Freo won 7.5 to 15.12.
Stating the obvious, West Coast will need more than seven goals five behinds to make it a decent contest.
The West Australian media said West Coast is relevant again after the worst season ever for an AFL club.
Don't laugh! They believe it.
West Coast lost to the Kangas in round 1 and won against the Giants at Optus the following week. It's hardly a battle for the top spot, but bragging rights is just as necessary when dealing with work colleagues on a Monday morning.
After two losses JLO to make some changes.
Predicted lineup:
Backs: Banfield Banfield Banfield
HB: Banfield Banfield Banfield
Centre: Hughes Banfield Hughes
HF: Banfield Banners Banfield
FF: Banfield Banfield Banfield
Rucks: Darcey Banfield Banfield
INT: Banfield
Sub: Banfield
In all seriousness, Fyfe has been ruled out due to a foot injury, and Walters will most likely start after almost turning the game on its head against North.
The big question is will Sturt get another crack at the big time, or will Johnson
