    as long as our boys dont go there thinking they are easy beats - all will be good - would prefer a right thrashing of the Dockers (for percentage purposes) but will be happy with a win - Swans by 26
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

      Not sure what that all means.....
      I have also tipped a draw. Just got that gut feeling.

        Its interesting that the named full forward line, which means admittedly nothing on the day, is the toughest since O'Brien lined up alongside Plugger. The named full forward line is interesting. The Bevanator, White and NOG are very strong in the contest, crunching tacklers and can take a good grab. They will match up very well against the all fur coat and no knickers last line defenders of Freo. As i said the indications are that the plan is to move it fast (Buchanon hopefully will played in the mids and hopefully has recovered his first five metres leg speed) into the central corridor and kick it long into the 15 to 25 metre forward line hot spot from the 55 - 60 metres arc. A good anti zoning strategy.
        Can't imagine we'll see both NOG and Bevo deep in the forward line at the same time too often. One of those 2 plus Thornton (Looks like he can take a grab) or Meredith or Barlow or a mid resting- ie Goodes.

            However, I reckon we'll still win in the end and by 23 points.
            I can only echo these thoughts, it's a game we SHOULD win, those are the danger ones aren't they

              You guys will win this, Fremantle will be conserving their energy for the grand final next week.

                My sister lives in WA and she told me yesterday that it is going to be around the 28 degrees so it's gunna be warm for our guys in particular who had wintery conditions in their last two games.Freo are very used to this type of weather and are a quick side.
                To win we must have ROK and the younger blokes step up a notch.
                It's a massive match for us with Kirky and Bolts having milesone games and I know that Kirk in particular will use the Anzacs for inspiration to our men.

                  I thought the Carlton game was generally warm, then again, I had the sun in my face the whole day

                    Essendon - Collingwood match was fantastic and close all the way to the end. The Fremantle game won't be so easy IMO. Just seeing how St Kilda kept Port (the team that heavily beat Hawthorn) to 30 odd points is amazing and Fremantle should be a tough task. Interesting to see if there is any late changes to the team (most likely Grundy, which I hope not).

                      If we're a serious top 8 team this should in no way be a danger game. Period.
                      I was right... We're NOT a serious top 8 team...
