I think Freo are a bit of a rabble at the moment. They won't be at full strength this season at all. The resting of so many players and the 116 point loss wont come without consequence.The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

I'm with Robbo. If the Sandilands-Pavlich-Ballantyne axis is working then Freo are stronger than us. It would then depend on our ability to control the gamestyle and force stoppages, and win the clearances. Easier with their Barlow gone, but with Mummy doubtful, we would need all our inside mids in top form. Freo are very underestimated by the East Coast media. The Launceston debacle will not impact on them. They have the second best coach in the comp. and it was a sensible decision to rest the tired players.Comment

Brisbane at the Gabba is definitely a danger game. Brown is back and kicking goals and after a poor season they'd love to finish up by knocking off a finalist.
Every finals match is a danger game. Experts are writing off Fremantle and the Bulldogs, but all bets are off in September. Teams that were hot blow cold and vice versa - look at Collingwood last year. The competition resets in the finals, so I wouldn't assume any team is beatable.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

And if we do end up meeting the 'Dogs in Week 2, it would probably be our best chance of beating them in Melbourne for 23 years!
The last time we beat them down there was Round 15, 1987, at Waverley Oval. Can you believe it's been that long since we've lowered their colours in Victoria??? Does anyone actually remember that game???Comment

That figure is slightly fudged considering that we have not played the Dogs (outside of finals) in Melbourne for about 10 years while they sold home games to the SCG and the AFL scheduling their home game in Canberra against us.

Pyke did an exceptional job when Mummy went down. I think he's capable of going up against Clark and Luenberger without getting absolutely smashed, White can do short spells in the ruck but stay mainly up forward. It'll be interesting to see if LRT gets the nod as he can ruck ( done well in the past) but some reports have indicated that he's due back for the first week of the finals.I was wrong about Gerard and his hair.

mummy & mcglynn are two big losses, but the swans have too much to play for. This game looms as a danger game, but we should win by a couple of goals, given the fact we have such a good record at the gabba. ROK & Jarred moore are huge in's too. I wouldn't be surprise if goodesy kick a big bag this weekend hahahaDan Hannebery you absolute beauuuuutiie ~ :D;)Comment

Unfortunately no LRT for the rest of the season. Not good for September.
