Go Pies!

 

[Soul_Pie]

I'll be there. Should be a great game.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

i'll be there too, should be a good crowd, what with only a few hundred freo supporters you'll barely hear them lol

 

[Prem87]

Burns wont be playing. Freo should win this one.

 

[bo waters for PM]

Pies to win this by 8pts only tipping the pies as its at the MCG

 

[j0nni]

I can't wait for this one!!!

Freo by 14

lol good one

 

[jonoman89]

hopefully fraser rips up the park for me supercoach.

pies by 20.

 

[bluesforever]

Can't pick this one, if the Pies can hold both Pav and Farmer they will win easily, but that's almost impossible so I will say the Dockers by 10 points in an upset.

 

[jonesy86]

Freo always worry me...extremely dangerous forward line, it's a must that we get control in the centre of the ground otherwise it could be a long afternoon.

You'd be surprised... We're a noisy lot

Really looking forward to this. I think it's hard to split the two sides, but I reckon we'll get up. The thing that I'm worried about is shutting down Leon Davis. I think Mark Johnson will play on him, despite all of Roger Hayden's genius he always seems to struggle against Leon.

Freo by 12 points, but the game will be in the balance right until the end.

Farmer is once in a season spark. He doesnt really do much. Gets some good matches but thats it. And for PAV im sure they can double or triple team him

 

[Godfrey Jones]

^yeh but, his once a season spark usually happens againt us, lol

 

[Brazen]

Freo will win by a nose...












... Pavlich's nose! So by 30+ points

 

[Hinesight]

Do you hear that rumble?

That's the sound of a million plus black and white army members preparing for battle..

Joffa is polishing his gold jacket and his 3 teeth.. and Jolimont residents are locking up their doors, windows and daughters..

Welcome to Hell gentleman

 

[CENTERMAN]

Solomon, Johnson, McManus, M.Carr ? No Palmer ?Pies 34pts.

 

[j0nni]

And it's a perfect Morning/day for footy

 

[alwyndavey]

I'm surprised Rhys Palmer didin't get picked. He had a good pre season and played most of the games in the Nab Cup.

 

[Lockyer24]

Says a lot about the mindsets of the diff clubs!

 

[bluesforever]

So Pies supporters, you expect to win today? I have seen some of you state how much the Dockers worry you guys.

Who the hell knows these days, last year we almost beat Geelong in a preliminary final after losing to the wooden spooners Richmond.. it's a lottery

 

[Stakerz]

Pies to win this by 8pts only tipping the pies as its at the MCG

But we beat West Coast in a final over at subi last year, why can't we beat Freo at subi in a home and away game?

 

[Stakerz]
