Toast Reasons for Optimism

[poshman]

Watching the game I thought Draper spent most time on him but perhaps Chappy and him switched up more than I thought. Draper also played on Dustin Martin when he was deep forward. Either way Chappy playing well on Bolton is also significant and positive. Chappy's kicking was again fantastic.

Draper is a hell of a find for this year and the future. That he is able to swap and not get embarrassed at his size is a big deal.

Chappy I am bullish on. Hard as nails, great kick, quick decision maker and fast enough on the way out to break lines and create attacking play. He has only played 26/27 games, by the end of the year that will be 40 odd. I can't wait to see him build from here!

I'm struggling to be optimistic this week

Go Freo!

Well don't bring it in here!

 

[Raz]

Well don't bring it in here!

She did still cheer the team on ! And said she only struggling. not that she wasnt quietly optimistic

If we win tomorrow we could be in the 4?

Great position to be in given we haven't played at peak form. And the age profile of our list. Can't wait for the game tomorrow night! If we can start well again and keep the crowd in it, and with our advantage up front we will be in it up to our eyeballs.

I think we'd have to win by a few goals, but yes. Could change again if the Bombers beat the Giants (depends on margin).

I was encouraged by the performance of our mids on Friday. Yes there were some concerns, and some of those being some we have had this year and last year. Having said that, our midfield has taken a step forward this year. I am backing Serong to get more consistent with his kicking. Young to continue his improvement and Johnson had a solid game. The exposure this year is helping his game.

After the strangest big loss I have experienced, I am looking forward to taking on the saints this weekend. They will come out firing and we will have to hold up against that and then kick away. Big week coming up!

We are in the new era... The only thing we will be losing is our voice with all the flags we are going to win over the next decade!

I love how Freo has genuine connection during the Indigenous round

We have always had plenty of indigenous players on our list since day 1. many of them were the reason why we were so exciting to watch

Right back to Scott Chisholm. Winston Abraham

Abraham going to North was a sad day. The prince of pockets was brilliant on his day and nerve wracking on others haha!

Roger Hayden... He is my biggest 'if only' when it comes to injury. More so then Clem even.

Dion Woods was my favourite player to watch back in the day, then drifted off into obscurity.

Going back to our very early days one of my favourite indigenous Dockers was Scott Chisholm. Brandon Walker reminds me a bit of the way Scott played.

Dion Woods was my favourite player to watch back in the day, then drifted off into obscurity.

He seemed so full of promise in the 03 season. Then disappeared sadly.

 

[poshman]

Not sure if selection was stubborn or brave... I do think we will kick at least 14 goals this week.

Huge week for us... Can't wait!

when we win tomorrow we will be back in the 8

Need to win by enough to overtake GC %

 

[poshman]

Need to win by enough to overtake GC %

Let's do that as well then!

Need to win by enough to overtake GC %

We’ve got this - it’s only 2%?

im tipping a 30 point win with Vossy kicking 3.

Pass me the joint after you have a puff.

Hey that's nearly as high as Vossy's going to get when he takes his mark of the year contender today. Someone has to be optimistic. I think we'll bounce back. I don't think last week was as bad a performance as I thought immediately after the game now. Not just because of the circumstances but also because we played a team that is absolutely flying at the moment in Sydney.
