Wk 2 Nab Cup

[ImperialPurple]

Who comes in, who goes out, who gets a rest etc, etc?? There'll be an extra 2 out, as we had 26 play this week, and there'll only be 24 next week. When's Warnock ready for a run? When Blackie back?

I reckon:

In: Bell, Parker, Cook
Out: Macca, Hase, Campbell, Gilmore, Webster or MCarr


I will just qualify that and say I think we should send an experienced side to Melbourne, reason being that I think the more experience the "best 22" can get on their grounds the better - then win, lose or draw, give the kids a run and have a play around with the line-up next week when they're back in WA. But I still think to rest Hase and Macca - no need to overload Hase just yet, and Macca as an oldie can have a week off.


Also, which other game is on our half of the draw?

Warnock was apparently supposed to miss only the first pre-season game and should be an inclusion.

If that's the case then I'd give give Warnock a run, and let JLo have a rest too.... Forgot about Haddrill... hmmmm - maybe leave Grover out seeing he played in Darwin and has therefore already had 2 games... And I'd like to see Dunn get a run just to see what he can do.

I'd rest JLo anyway. Get Campbell to do 2nd ruck. Or Johnson. Or Gilmore (Hey, it's not THAT funny! He did last season).

For all of us who cannot go to this game, what are the viewing options? It appears channel seven isn't showing the game on free to air.... so most people in Perth without foxtel will be missing it I guess?

 

[Reveler]

the game is on Fox Sports 1. Doesn't appear to be a delayed telecast on 10 or 7 at the moment.

 

[Memories]

I am very annoyed at the FTA coverage. I hate it when something is worse than last year (like 3-4 hour delays on home freo games), sigh.

Are you inviting people to your house Reveler to watch it?

 

[Reveler]

ha! I don't have fox..

i'll be going to my mums house its a pain in the royal arse!

Prince Charles a Freo supporter!! Well I never...

Rev you've kept your real identity a secret all this time...

 

[dominguez]

IN- Cook, Bell, Parker, Dunn
OUT- McManus, Webster, Drum, Headland, Gilmore (still crap).

Haddrill, Tarrant, Warnock to play their first game week 3.

WTF !!!!! I just got a virus from link. Lucky I've got a couple different boot drives.

That's pretty shocking. Care to explain taz@freo?

EDIT*

Had a bit of a look around and this exact line has been posted by several BF users e.g.
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6825785#post6825785

You can see both taz and another have posted it. I think someone has hacked into usernames or something.

hawks vs carlton
so really, if we're wanting to really win in, then theres no excuses
the draw dont get a whole lot easier than that
although im definately not writing off the hawks completely, i think they could be a challenge
but with the biggish score, hopefully we'll make the gf with the most goals and have it at subiaco
its only early, but if we made it, the only worry would be geelong with a massive score against a ********e richmond

but im not too fussed..do we all want to win it or not really??
i would prefer to win it, so the media goes off at us once more and says "now lets watch freo fold like they always do" and then we can shut up the media by winning the real thing too and proving them wrong

Kangas were good last week and started their preseason a week after we played in Sydney. If we win this week we should win the whole thing.

ah stop whinging..im from melbourne..and all i get to watch is 4 games in melbourne all year!
plus free-to-air?? what is that. dont think ive ever seen a live freo game on tv in melbourne before

yeh true..ok maybe kangas wont be a walkover either then
but if freo is going all out to win it as well, then we should, as we're the better team on paper

but not sure about that last bit
we may have to play the cats (who were very impressive) or the dogs, and either will be tough, especially if it isnt at subi

 

[dominguez]

Will be disappointed to lose any game at Subi this year, including NAB cup games.

Oh well, looks like I won't even be able to watch it at all or listen to it. I'm work 12 til 8 and was happy to tape it (even if it was delayed, I wouldn't have minded) but nooo.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I'm going camping this weekend. Might have to make a trip into the nearest town.... Hope they have Fox at the pub.

Lachy Reid just said that Parker, Black, Cook and Tarrant will have another week off, but Belly will be in the team to play Norf at TD.

 

[taz@freo]

Good news Belly is back, love watchin the little guy go after it.

We should flog North, they aren't a very classy team at the moment

hear hear! so deprived of action are us poor outnumbered freo fans in melb that we even have to go to geelong in order to stretch the quota

foxtel is our saviour, embrace the corporate beast!

Did you not watch North Melbourne flog the Pies last week?
I almost didnt recognise our team as our game plan was so much more attacking. Loved it.
Im predicting a high-scoring match about 3 or 4 goals in it to NM!

I saw that, does Cooky have something wrong with him? If not then it is disappointing that he isn't playing.

Always respect your opponent.

 

[docker_johnno]

we should be able to make more of our opportunities than north can.
