We are going to smash the Freo Shockers!

This is it my fellow Tigers!

This will be the turning point as we head towards our next premiership.

someone smoked farrrrr too much hoochy before getting onto this thread!!! :rofl

If we can keep within 50 points i am happy.

However these type of games are the ones we can always surprise people. Id be over the moon if we won, but am not going into it with a lot of confidence. Wouldve been more confident if we had a senior ruckman. be prepared to see a new world record in hit outs to sandilands (as someone else mentioned on another post), patto has NO chance of taking out one of the best.

unless someone kneecaps him before the game. . . . . :whistle

and i agree with a previous post, go and put some $$$ on them if you are that confident. . . if you win you can but the remaining 229 memberships we need to make 30,000!
 
Can't stand Connolly, Headland and co. ! It would be awesome if we can get up and Connolly gets AXED on Sunday night !
 
all those w.a beach dwellers that wouldve put thier money on them to win the flag. . . :rofl :rofl

couldve put all their pennies together and purchased a nice sharp axe in preparation. .

The Freo Shockers are going to smash we :spin

With rare exceptions, I think the Tiges are a team capable of consistently keeping within 30-50 points of a smashing.......... ::)

Never thought it would come from you.

You say 30 -50 it must be our second 100 point flogging coming up.

Bit cryptic wasn't it.........

Suffice to say, a smashing is 100 points to me (and we should know from experience last year), if you wanna split hairs 75-100 points. I think for the most part a bad game for Tiges now is a loss of between 30-50 points. I'd be very surprised is a game slipped beyong that for the rest of the season. Geelong was an aberation I slept through ;D

You seem a lonely voice boys but I'm with ya. I just hope the players and coaching staff share our optimism rather than listening to the negative nellies. :hihi

Like Matthew Lloyd said after last night's win it's amazing what you can do with self belief. We need that winning feeling and belief bigtime.
 
I am naturally optimistic but not today. Terry is tanking. He will give Kingsley plenty of game time and play one or two loose men just off Pav.At Subiaco...disaster.

If on the other hand Kent suddenly gets ill and Peterson or even Hughes/Schulz, come into the side and we play1 on1, then maybe it will be a fight.

Yeh 1 loss closer to the No1 pick, and we make big trades for a few more first rounders.

Smashing Freo would be good for our starved soul.

Agreed, a draft pick changes your overall struture by about 2.5%, and winning changes it by 100%

I hate a lot of things about Freo. Mostly that they are heavy and yet outside. Strong enough to knock players over but averse to contact.

Perhaps we can beat them at football.
very astute big jack but it wont stop them from winning easily on sunday. having said this i watched the coll freo game last week and i was not impressed with either side i thought their skills were terrible. although no where near as bad as the skills in our game against brissie. i think the way to achieve an upset is find a way to stop sandilands haselby and pavlich and play tight on their many outside soft you know whats.

Thats what I like to see. A bit of positive thinking around here.




Reality will be arriving between 7:30-8:30 tommorow (eastern standard time) night unfortunately for the tigers.......

I believe in omens & here is some of my evidence

Spida & Aka played against their old clubs for the first time yesterday and won.

The ol' saying it comes in threes, well Polak plays against his old club Freo today.
A prediction; Tiges to win by 20pts ;D
 
Sorry this is off the topic, but does anybody know where there is a list of pubs with foxtel? I'm in Oak Park (near Pascoe Vale - ie. Ess Airport). How can I find out which local pub is showing the game? - Seems foxtel keeps this a big secret to make us buy it Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

Call the Gladstone park hotel, roxburgh park hotel, also crown casino have some big screens on, or take a drive to the royal oak and watch the game with other fellow tigers.

Most locals would be showing it I would expect.
