Freo by 30? I hope not. It would cause no end of trouble for the AFL! If Freo do win by 30 points, a very rare occurrence will occur. Essendon and the Swans will both have 9 wins, 8 losses and an identical percentage (100.00). How would you split the sides?

I've tipped Freo.........I always seem to get my Freo tip wrong

I believe Essendon would be ahead. Generally, when teams are equal on things like goal difference/for and against/percentage it goes to either points/goals scored or head to head record. Either of those 2 options mean we'll be behind the Bummers.

Have them play each other at Telstra Stadium?

Is Justin Dpw?

I can see Freo winning if they get confidence up.But if Sydney can exploit the Freo defence (Hall) we can get our game up.Very close, I tipped the swans, but without much confidence.

Can I ask people to think about what they post and the timing of it - bearing in mind that up in Sydney we don't get to see the Friday night game til very late at night.

I was wiling away time last night waiting for the midnight coverage to start and saw this post, which gave away the result of the game yet to be shown.

I know it is easy to do, but please try not to spoil, however unintentionally.

Thanks

I've tipped them too, but I hope to God I'm wrong!

"Simmonds and Longmuir (when not rucking) will be the marking targets, and between them can cause havoc. And last but not least, Farmer has under performed since being at Freo but will require a quality minder."

"it should be a tight tussle for much of the match, but in the end - Freo by 30pts."

Our man from the West was on the ball!!
