Game Day The battle of the Port, v Freeo

[It Just Is]

Drew on Serong is a critical match up. We need the next month to be big Willie time.

 

[davesnothere]

Win or lose we can finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th.

I really hate supporting oppo sides, but if Carlton & Bulldogs lose before we play this will be Freo's GF.
That's 2 in 2 weeks!
Salivating isn't it.

There's a flight to Bali from Perth at 8.50 pm.

Hopefully they're thinking about that.

serong is not a damaging midfielder, this is why i will alsways favour the sikly, quick creative kicking midfielders. i would go drew to hayden young. young has one of the best fwd of centre kicks in the comp, he is their most damaging mid.

 

[portly]

It’s annoying that Geelong got that artificial bump to percentage by playing the Seminyak eagles.

Ah well should be an exiting day with all the machinations.

I wish you hadn't said exiting

Bit more.

If we score 55 points they would need to score 84.

This isn't correct. If we score 55, we can allow Freo to score 78 before we drop below Geelong.

The table of maximum Freo scores we can allow, is here:

That oft forgotten last line to the Creed. "Unless it is unlikely to have an impact on the result in which case don't bother, even if it causes us to lose we can still reasonably put it down to bad luck, so its cool". On SM-G975F using BigFooty.com mobile app Seems you have reading...

Or we just win the game

 

[Bevoman]

I’ve been guilty as many from saying pre-game that Port is due to Port it up. Hasn’t happened for weeks now. We’re in pretty decent form and as a bonus at the right time of year. I’m expecting a good showing from the boys today

Yep, Jed is back

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Weather forecast for Perth is good, so should be a decent game after suck-arse Saturday's round of matches.

in a forward pocket and not ruck that gives us a leg up. We should win this, lock in second place and then get us sitting on the phones when finals tickets go on sale.

It would be nice to get a decent finals crowd after the embarrassing crowd v GWS last season.

Permutations:

If we win, almost likely to finish second, unless GWS beat the Dogs by more than roughly 40 pts from our margin with Freo, in which case we end up playing GWS away. If GWS win by less than that differential, then we play GWS at home.

A draw for us and GWS win, we are third and play GWS away. A draw for both us and GWS, we play GWS home.

A draw or win for GWS and a loss for us puts us third or fourth depending on our loosing margin, as suggested around 25 pts, third means GWS away, fourth, Sydney away.

A win for Dogs and the Blues, loss for us puts us between 2 and 4 depending on the margin we lose, but puts Freo out of contention for the 8. If margin differential is low we stay second, small differential, we are third (edit- fall behind Geelong) and if we lose big, then fourth (edit - fall below GWS). Geelong will be second if we are third or fourth Finish 2, play Geelong at home. Finish 3, play Geelong away. Finish 4, play Sydney away.

I think I have it right. I had to do a small edit…..

 

[longdonkey]

Hey El_Scorcho I reckon Freo missed the boat in not calling themselves The Pirates too..

yeah the happy clappers would love the dress ups.

 

[Us against the rest]

Waiting to see how we perform in finals, it's to hard to get excited when in the past disappointment followed.

Let's see how we go at the business end. Freo by 16points.

 

[Coobk001]

Or we just win the game

I think GWS and us will lose today.

This is how they get you.

[Palpatine_Power]

Hinkley saying the quiet part out loud about Houston being a single player and replaceable in the system.

I think we're going to struggle today.

 

[Manhattan Bronx]

We'll win by 28. Then come crashing down in finals.

 

[TazD]

I think GWS and us will lose today.

Looks like a bad weather day for the Dogs tall forwards. Not sure where they get their score from.

Nasty storm for Victoria today and Southern NSW today? Might affect outcomes.

At least the 30k winds have gone, it’s overcast and dull.
Looks like Headingley on the first morning of a test match, if we win the toss I’d bowl.

Win or lose today. I think we all just waiting to see what we do in finals. Have we learned anything? or are we still mentally soft when it matters most?
