Flagmantle.
I think structurally we’ll cause problems for them. I think we have a better chance than any to beat them at the G. On the other hand I can’t see us beating Brisbane at the Gabba or Sydney at SCG.
Just feel like those wide open spaces at the G and head to head personnel v Dees..we’ll go alright.

Who is saying that? You Tigers supporters just can't let go. Literally no one is saying Dees are a better side than Tigers dynasty(yet). It's all banter. You guys have a massive chip on your shoulder for a fanbase that won 3 out of 4 flags. I'd be kicking back loving life and enjoying footy, but the Tigers fans just have to one up everyone and bring up how dominant they were. We get it, but the shows over. The time is done.
Was just about to say this. Weird comment by that Freo supporter. Isn't it cute how Freo supporters think they are a chance of doing anything spectacular at the MCG. It's cute..

Why be a like that for?
They’re the one of the better teams this year, let them enjoy it - refer you to Richmond 2018.
Conditions up there are very hard, especially at night. SCG obviously for the size.
Let’s go Flagmantle.
Someone could alway's shoot them?
We’ll take care of them…little brother!
Haven't you lot got something to go sook about? Meh, I'd hardly set a benchmark with games against Bombers and Carlton. Two sides who bring very little to no pressure. Saints brought pressure and Freo crumbled. They're a nice team but hardly going to trouble Dees at the G come September. Let them enjoy their moment. Remember the Carlton Dynasty only last 3 rounds. Time will tell..

I think a little bit of “finals experience” is what fremantle may be missing at the moment.
Just a little bit young maybe?
Still a little scary are freo rn!
They also have one Brayshaw, very important!!

Digging into the why
Freo have been very impressive. Looking forward to playing them.

How can Melbourne be stopped? Honestly; self sabotage or poor luck. Otherwise they walk in with back to back flags.
If they fail to capitalise with multiple flags with their talent it’s an indictable on their footy club.

The Dockers have put together a really strong side, will be challenging for a few years yet.
I somehow doubt that. When you've won a few flag's, you can call me little brother.

that's a dumb thing to say. like mind boggling. You realise that even the favourite to win the flag is more unlikely than likely to win the flag? like you do realise this or not? Melbourne is $2.80 to win the flag. You realise this means that we're more likely to not win than win. Otherwise, if we're a sure thing go and put your life savings on these odds.
Also, with umpires able to swing games with as many 5-8 goals in any given match due to poor decisions, I've got no idea what game you're watching these days.

Those odds only support my statement. Has there ever been odds that low at this point in a season? Maybe Geelong in 2008?

Wow - some fellow Freo fans going early.
I’d like to think we’re about to gate crash the Top 4 and over the next five years will be up there alongside the Demons, Lions and Swans. Four exciting sides where their core is still young (Dockers the youngest).
But this year, the only side that will get close to the Demons will be the Lions and to beat them at the pointy end will require the Demons to off by 5%.
For Saints fans reading - yes you beat us, yes you will make finals this year, you’ll probably win a final this year - but you haven’t built a list that will play finals for the next five years like the four mentioned above.

It's great for the competition for Freo to be up and about. I hope they can maintain it. Same with the Saints. One side who's never won a flag and another who's only won once in their long history. Just need the Suns next year (maybe with Clarko and King) to click and GWS with a new coach hopefully to rebound.

Agreed Fremantle and St Kilda are impressive structurally but I'm not sure on their personnel (Fremantle KPPs and Saints around the ball).
We've got Saints in a couple of weeks and play Freo twice during the middle of the season so will be interesting to see how those games roll.

huh? do you know how odds work? those odds completely contradict your statement.
Yes the odds are short but the odds also say Melbourne are more likely to lose the premiership than win.
Then you say it's an indictment even though we're most likely not going to win. Odd comments by you.
Seems a bizarre thing to say when for the majority of this season we haven’t had ANYONE over the age of 28 in our team, while Brisbane have the following over 28:
Zorko 33yo
Robinson 33yo in June
Rich 32yo in June
Lyons 30yo in July
With 3 of them top 5 in Brisbane’s B&F last year. All will be gone within 5 years.
Then you have:
Neale 29yo in May
Adams 29yo in June
McCarthy 29yo in October
Daniher 28yo
Cameron 28yo in July
McInerney 28yo in July
That’s 10 of their best 22 who are 28yo or older by July and then you’ve possibly got McStay out the door through FA.
But somehow their team is better suited to a sustained run at finals, while our younger one isn’t?
Okey-dokey.
Even Freo:
Mundy 103yo
Walters 31yo
Fyfe 31yo in September
Lobb 29yo
Taberner 29yo in June
Only Mundy from that lot likely to be playing in 5 years.

Mate the demons can't be stopped. This is big footy logic.
In 2-4 years time, someone will start a thread and say North Melbourne can't be stopped LoL
