I dunno, I think these games get easier late in the season.

Free can’t make finals, they’re all hubbed up on the far side of the continent. The season is old and they’d be thinking about the off-season.

We, on the other hand, know that every game is important. Win this and we have nine days to plan and prepare for the cats. That’s as good as two weeks in a normal season.

Short back line? Sure, but it won’t be a problem. Balta and Broad take the key possies while Vlastuin will leave his man to assist. Houli, in-form Short and Baker to link up.

We’re good tonight.

Hope soCarts.
Freo will back themselves and take the game on.
Tall forward line worries me somewhat. We are one short.

Will be won in the middle.

They also have our forwards to worry about too.

Longmuir has brought ( directly/indirectly) Fyfe s treatment off the ball. We don’t tag so let’s see how many frees he gets.

Also highlighting Soldo & Nankervis, their bullying of NicNackPattyWack watch the umpire pluck frees against those two.

Nothing new.

22 vs 25

Need to keep winning. WC have a game in hand. Can’t afford to drop games from here on.

Can’t wait for tonight’s game.

Oh and there is a player called Dusty they have to contend with.

Was it blighty who said footy is 50 % half mental?

Big boy premiership sides don’t drop these games on the way through. Conversely, Freo won’t have the stomach to play the four quarters you need to beat us.

Probably won't bring our A+++ game tonight. Fall out of flag favouritism for another week.

3rd last H&A in '17, cats beat us. In '19 we beat Carlton by 28pts.

Maybe Dimma waits another week to give us a shake up?

It'll probably be another *smile* fight in a game where a clearly inferior team tries to limit our scoring by employing a mass flood of our forward line. It'll be frustrating and ugly to watch; like most games we have played against weaker teams this year.

We just need to get the win. Tigers by 2-3 goals.

I wish we were resting the Capt.

EZJ fixed us up with 2 months free kayo last night. Resourceful young fella took a picture of a VB slab barcode, typed her in and we're away!

He goes, 'this gets us to November 1, so even if we draw the GF, mum will get to see the replay'

I feel like a resounding success as a father

Agree, Tigers by, in the end, around the 4 goal mark.

Love to see George kick 6.0, but on past evidence I’d be pleased with 2.4.
I don’t like criticising our players but he has had a fair bit of training at the elite level and shows no signs of improving this part of his game.

We have a few players who similarly arrived in the side. Lambert and Soldo come to mind.
But no one has who has shown no improvement at all has lasted as long.

Bank the 4 points and be switched on from first bounce and take control of the game.They will flood so we need to be smart and beat it and pin point delivery in our 5o.

Even at the their lowest Fyfe has played out of his skin against us. And then there is Mundy who has ripped our hearts out. Nullify these two and we will be fine.

We seem to be worried about their talls. They have to get the ball to their talls enough times to even be in a position to kick enough goals to beat us. To do that they cannot flood or at least it won't be a 22 man flood. Therefore they need to be worried about our talls with the two ruckman.
