The Derby

Massive derby coming up on sunday...

who's going to the game?

who are you tipping?

 

Either way should be a really close one with both teams in good form, and both with a lot to play for.  Freo for a top 4 finals berth and for WCE a top 8 finish on the cards.

 

Key defenders out for both teams, WCE with the definite ruck advantage (only if Nic Nat plays), Freo with the better midfield.  Should be a high pressure, low scoring affair..  haha

 

looking forward to sitting on the couch on sunday with a few coldies...

Dockers in a close one. Kennedy can only kick goals if the midfield get it to him, and I don't think they will.

Dockers are not kicking enough goals to really put a big score together.
Im tipping the dockers to get over the line but eagles in front at half time.

we didn't play well last week

Thu, 2013-07-11 17:59

we didn't play well last week against the saints. turnovers almost cost us the game. Scoring options were definitely better with pav and sandi back. even though sandi didn't have a great game first up (pretty poor really) and pav had a limited impact, they did take the focus off mayne, ballaz and walters. luke mc is a big out, but the eagles also have significant outs and only half a flat nik nat. they will struggle to get it into the hands of their forwards. dawson to shutdown kennedy, best bet would be to have le cras front and centre at his feet, because dawson will spoil spoil spoil.

Those p**fta wet toasters are playing for their season and are going well.

Dockers look to have lost form in the last couple.

Was expecting a hiding but not now, FFC by 7 points in the hardest game of the year.

Hey Randall, are you going to stick around the forum this week IF your boys get rolled?

I only ask because you talked a big game before the Cats clash and after you got flogged, you were quite conspicuous by your absence during the following week.

A bit of rain will ease the task for us .. fingers crossed Silvani and Dawson will nullify Kennedy and Darling without too many stupid free kicks ... Crowley on

Prickus I think .. Pav should be good for 3 or 4 and hopefully Sandy will hold some marks this week . Barlow needs to rebound as well . I don't see it blowing out

either way should be a aggressive hard ball get for 4 quarters , hopefully with no reports .

Freo mids too big and too strong for the meth coasters this week. which is a good thing, because we don't want the ball getting inside the wiggles forward 50 too often.

Sun, 2013-07-14 11:04

I think it will be won in the midfield. each forward line has the potential to kick goals, and the eagles forward line is certainly more potent on paper and current form. if they get the supply I don't think Freo's defence as good as it is, will stop them from kicking a winning score. but having said that, I think Freo's midfield will be too big, too strong, too quick on the outside and the eagles don't have the list on the field at the moment to stop enough of them. the eagles forwards won't get the supply they need to get the opportunity. at the other end, freo just have to manufacture enough goals to keep the score board pressure on.
Dockers to win the midfield battle, and the game (in a close one).

Sun, 2013-07-14 18:49

gifts?  pearce gets subbed out with concussion and no free kick.  eagles score as a result of embleys high hit.  then later in the quarter schofield gets a littlle tap acoss the neck and gets a kick right in front of goal....  in the end the umpiring didnt impact the final result.  bottom line is the eagles havent beaten a top eight team yet and theyre not good enough to.  great win against adelaide last week...  adelaide are 12th people.  your team is not the premiership contenders that you make them out to be.  book your end of season tickets now boys, because you're not going playing finals this year. and start looking for a new coach beacause woosha has lost the passion.

WCE aren't premiership contenders, neither are freo mate...so you might as well book your tickets for next year albeit a few weeks after us.

Freo got taught a lesson against geelong that they are still way off the top 2 and after being at the game yesterday and "watching" this star freo team play....that backs it up even more.

Well played freo you had enough run in the legs to run out the fourth.......

everyone quiting whinging about the umps ( I havnt read this entire thread) the better team won on the day.

A bit senitive Paully,
I'm having dinner atm with a pharmacist, would you like me to get you some serapax or temaze. Happy to drop it off tonight.

I did notice a fair few empty seats around the ground with ten minutes to go. Wasn't your mates were they.

I resemble that as well Paully

Sun, 2013-07-14 18:50

If you arn't to upset  [ should have stopped  by now ]  could you elaborate on the circumstances for being a beaten team. And please no spin about players out as it has to be the number 1 excuse for being towled up. I know it will have nothing to do with being touched up by a better unit. Bwahaha

Well done Pav, nice attack on

Sun, 2013-07-14 19:17

Well done Pav, nice attack on the footy, inspiring leadership, Mitch Brown's head is full of air but it sure doesnt look like a footy. Pav has carried that team for years, now they are carrying him, time to hang up the boots mate.
Boocoast gave it a crack, just shows that even an outside top 8 side with half their team out are capable of beating the Wanchors non premiership contending game plan, a bit of intent at the contests and pressure, just lacked polish in the 2nd when they could have put more score board pressure on and the legs in the end. Doesnt help when match winners like Nat can only put in half a games worth of effort. Good move havin Kennedy and Darling up the ground, no point leavin them up forward getting cold. Had to LOL at Waters running into open goal and missing, lucky to get a free. I didnt see Kennedy 'cleanin his boots on the door mat', but then again, he only kicked 2, haha, here comes Roughy for the coleman! Pfft Carn the Hawks, too easy if these sides are in the finals lol

 and how did your team go

Sun, 2013-07-14 19:25

 and how did your team go last week?  you should be more worried about the voices in your team's heads telling them they cant beat geelong.

Silence last week, full or chirp 2secs after a win this week.
Might as well enjoy beating crap sides while you can, the real stuff is still a long way off!

 i think you'll find i posted

Sun, 2013-07-14 19:51

 i think you'll find i posted that we were smashed by geeling, and i posted that we played like crap against st kilda.  according to the commentators we played crap today.  right up to the point that we were 34 points in front with 7 minutes to play.  we won by 28.  i would have been happy to win by 1 point.  we have four points, knocking on the door of the top four.  we're going along ok, not great but ok.  we'll build up to the finals.  happy to keep flying under the radar until then.

The voices say we can beat

Sun, 2013-07-14 21:58

The voices say we can beat them, thats why its always a small margin. If the Wanchors had a voice in their heads saying they can beat the cats, leading up to, during and after the game a fortnight ago, well Id have to say they are the ones to be worried about.....I do have to admit Randall that you are more of a realist these last few weeks tho, one week at a time, 4 points is 4 points. Cant believe your not talkin up the 19 goals kicked. A good spread with most mids getting amongst them only cos Boocoast mids couldnt go with them in the end.

Sun, 2013-07-14 23:05

 the 19 goals was good.  last two weeks have been nuch better and that comes purely from the fact that having pav there, no matter what his form is like, he draws the best defender away from mayne.  having two quality smalls there as well same same.  might be back to low scores for the next couple while pav sits one or two out.

Pav should be ok, he pulled

Mon, 2013-07-15 11:41

Pav should be ok, he pulled out of the bump as soon as he saw his head.  Perhaps a caution.  Embley on the other hand.....  he's in trouble.  carry over points from his last offence, then KO's a bloke by burying his shoulder into his head as he's over the ball....  2 weeks is my prediction.  As players get to the twilight of their careers they just seem to get dirtier...  quite disapointing as Embley was once a very good footballer.

not sure what bump you were looking at? High, med-high impact, had the option to tackle.

Mon, 2013-07-15 18:24

 take the teams out of it and perhaps non west australian supporters can offer their opinion here, but how does one of those incidents gets three and the other only two?

 Well, that's derby 38 done

Sun, 2013-07-14 20:16

 Well, that's derby 38 done and dusted with the most predicted outcome. Poor depleted wet toast. No Kerr, no Selwood blah blah blah. That's the headlines. Do what we've done all year. Play the best you can with what you've got. Someone falls out, so someone steps up. That's the method. No more excuses please.

Freo Heave Ho.

cheers

 What can you say.  Freo are

Sun, 2013-07-14 21:19

 What can you say.  Freo are clearly the better side over the last 4-5 years.   Bigger, stronger, faster, and more disciplined.  

 

The umpiring was iffy, but equally for both teams.  Didn't effect the result at all.  

 

Dockers to finish 3rd and eagles 8th at years end (essendon will finish dead last with no points and 0%).
