On this day 28 years ago... We were still in pre-season... And it was glorious:

It was different back then , people got excited when they won that .Good memories.

How in the actual **** can you present a ground in that condition without a match having been played on it?

Honestly, it makes no sense to play on that. If the game isn't moved or rescheduled then it's difficult to believe that the AFL have any consideration for player welfare.

Freo by 32. I'm worried about the heat impact from last week.

Pickett tried to decapitate a bloke and got 2 weeks, so anything's possible

Yep, heat impact last week, plus 30 degrees in Perth again today + the long flight + we faded badly last week. I’m expecting a lethargic performance today.

It's going to be hilarious every time the ball bounces into one of the gaps between the sods and they can't find it so they have to bring out a new ball. This could end up costing a few thousand just for the new balls.

Sorry Timmy !

Assuming that HQ ticks off the condition of the playing surface, an unexpected win would be great for the team psyche, LDU to outperform draft mate Brayshaw, Nth by 5 pt's

Loves wa games

The player I most want to see have a good game is Stevo, I feel like he cares plenty and from what I have seen on Instagram he's got a great relationship with the other players and gives his all at the charity type stuff the club gets involved in. I hope he can have more faith in himself, he seems to do better these days when he works on instinct, it's the follow up (when he has time to think) that he stuffs up.

He just needs it to click, once his self confidence returns his touch will return and he’ll be a very damaging player. I have a feeling it’s not far away.

I was thinking some similar when he lined up for that set shot last week - no question about his work rate, and he just needs some reward for effort to get his confidence up

Taking my kids to a match for the first time today. I'm expecting to lose but looking forward to it, regardless.

Can't wait to thump these pretenders

Will be interesting to see how the coaches handle that, do they encourage him to hand it off or keep backing himself?

Don’t lose them in the turf.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Like the optimism, but freo are a good side. Like Brissy they had an off week on the road last week, don't expect that this week. Hope I'm wrong and we get up, but IMO loose by less than 30 in Perth and I'll take that as a win.

 

[hotchilli]

Good challenge for the boys with the trip to Perth.

Interested to see what sort of attention LDU & Sheez get after last week.

 

[amaz199]

That ground honestly looks horrendous. We're going to have to be careful in the contests.

Jeepers that seems like so long ago! A week, crikey!!

Heard a rumour that koshari wouldn't even put his bad cows on that paddock

 

[Rod Stroker]

Geez our last 3 games against them doesn't make for happy reading. We owe them one. An upset win over there would really set the tone for the season.

Complete opposite of our last 3 games against WC which were wins
