will we beat freo next week?

[neilfws]

Hard to say. They'll be sore coming off a fairly big loss and are down one, maybe 3 key players - http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/n...6/default.aspx. We're at home and looking to make amends after 2 poor efforts. Win-loss is fairly even; perhaps we've had a few weaker teams and they've beaten the best.

Roos seems to have given up the ruck as lost and is calling on the midfield to get it forward - http://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/n...5/default.aspx. If that happens and we kick straight, I think we can win.

Going to rain all week in Sydney and rain Saturday. I figure that helps us out and hopefully will turn it into a tough slog.

[Cheer Squad]

Few of their younger players might be getting a little tired. Will have to see our side before making a decision but if Playfair, Bevan and Richards all play then probably not.

Agree with you here. I don't know how Richards keeps getting selected, especially in defence??? He concedes too many goals and always at just the wrong time.

I don't think I've seen us play well in the wet for about 6 years.

Agree with that, but we are a different type of team this year and Freo are just so damn quick and daring, a slog fest wouldn't help them at all.

Think we really can ,as long we get it right at the selection table.

A few must go,( Pyke ,Richards ,Playfair) my mail is BRADSHAW aint no certainty this week either which is a worry.
Though we need to win to get some respect back this week.

[teddys mum]

nope

With Bradshaw in doubt you still want to dump three talks. So who exactly should come in for them?

We will win for sure. They are picking up injuries and niggles also and have been useless at SCG since 1996 (2008 game not withstanding)! Their travel schedule is starting to wear them down and their kids (who have made much of the difference to them) won't have played on a ground as short as the SCG. Their positioning will be out of whack and we will have our first choice forward line back.

And inconsiderate family are having a gathering on Saturday so I can't go - usually means the Swans walk it in and/or it is a great game. Similar issues kept me from Brisbane game and that game turned out ok for us!

[Captain]

I think we should win if Bradshaw plays. We match up well against Freo.

[T-bag]

nope

[hammo]

Looks like Michael Johnson may be missing at least...

[Triple B]

HUGE breaking news on Michael Johnston is going to add another dimension to this weeks game.

[SwansFan1972]

Sad for them, and him. Why oh why do these young guys think they can slip through the net?

Well they can, twice. Not sure about the three strikes thing.
