Game Day Round 6, 2024: West Coast vs Fremantle

[Astro7]

Freo probably thought they had this game on toast, guaranteed a win after two close losses.
We need to keep the pressure on; legs will get tired and the game will open up probably.
The boys are up for it, Shirley?

 

[Mop]

How can you have a deliberate spoil from a marking contest? I didn't think that's a rule

Matt Rosa was done the same way during the infamous Ballantyne after the siren derby

 

[bzparkes]

Gold.

 

[Wight Wolf]

Hewett, Allen and ryan back in. Cant wait

 

[UseR2006]

Confidence is such a huge thing. We look like a team floating on air compared to dockers.
Keep smiling boys this is only the beginning.

 

[Gizza]

It's amazing what a few down years can do. I've never been less confident with a 6 goal HT lead. Hopefully they can keep it up even if we only win by 1.

 

[Crimson King]

Hewett, Allen and ryan back in. Cant wait

Flynn as ruck should make us even more dominant.

The ghost of Fraser Gherig is our bog

Legend has it when Fraser was at the peak of his powers, he had his way with the xemomorph queen. Ever the Batchelor he absconded back east and Chris Waterman raised the baby.

Need to add to this margin or at worst maintain it. Freo have a come back a couple times this year and won.

True, although we're less than a goal away at half time from Freo's total scores for the entire games for both round 4 and 5 (63 points). They haven't kicked over 70 points since round 2.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Ginbey leading the way with 9 of his 12 possessions being contested possessions but still going at 83.3% disposal efficiency. Also has 4 clearances and 4 intercept possessions.

Such an asset when there is pressure to be absorbed.

Dont call the west coast eagles board surely!!!

 

[Mulldogg]

Watched the first 5 minutes and saw Yeoy’s goal then had to chase my maniac 3 year old son around the grounds of Mandalay Resort in Busselton to prevent my missus from having a nervous breakdown on a school families getaway. Finally get the young tyke under control, walk up to see the score on the big screen…ITS ****ING 52-15!

Come on you Coasters!

Absolutely horrendous isn’t it?

I feel sick.

Magnificent!

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Harley Reid ….GET HIM UP HERE I WANNA BOOF HIM!

 

[kaII]

Pav has the most fragile ego

 

[TY24]

Anyone else at the ground see that absolute train wreck of a proposal?

 

[Avalor]

Going well, but looking at the stats, we can get a lot better in the 2nd half, a lot of our players are not getting much of it. Another 10% lift from them and we can win this.

 

[Shuestar13]

Need to hold strong in the first half of the third

All expectations have been exceeded and then some.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

lol @ the hitout stats. BBBW has had his way with them, especially Luke.

 

[donpyke92]

Big Bailey matching Jackson athletically.
If only he kicked straight.
Has done well. Darcy a monster, hopefully runs out of puff 2nd half.

 

[Seadog]

Anyone else at the ground see that absolute train wreck of a proposal?

Looked like it was their first date.

 

[Dylan82]

Forward press executed to perfection and an opponent that completely panicked under the pressure.

Truly a sight to behold.


Waterman's late steadying goal was massive - Fremantle were starting to get some run and momentum going and it put that to bed.


+5 contested possessions at half time. Maintain that and this game becomes a certainty.

If that contested possession stat reverses, then Fremantle's superior running will start to become a real factor in the second half.


Timing of Sheed coming on as the substitute could be crucial here.

 

[Boohemian]

Our game day thread entitled "West Coast v Fremantle". Theirs is "Freo v Bin Chickens". Loser mentality over on that board.

Also - anyone see the footage of Reid putting Fyfe on his arse? This is kill your idols kind of stuff after the don't argue on Martin last week
