round 14...
Submitted by randall df223 on Mon, 2014-06-16 19:41
Here we are discussing round 14.
I want to start this off purely to state my admiration for a wonderful player, Jonathon brown. Unfortunately I feel we have seen the last of him on an afl ground, and that is our loss. He has taken one too many knocks to the head to play on. If he chooses wisely too call it quits, he does so with my absolute respect. A player that has only a focus for the ball and to the detriment of the game he put his head in the way. I fear for his wellbeing. I hope for his sake, he makes a decision based upon what is best for him and his loved ones.

Interesting times
I dont necessarily disagree, if Coxxy plays next, I think it's fair that assessment is made then dependant on how he performs. I think the last two games have shown they are in a pretty good spot with those positions , so will be tough. I'm sure he'll make the . right decision for himselfand the club.

There are two certainties in life, freo will win the derby on saturday and Freo will finish top two. I looked at the fixtures and based on current form, Sydney will be minor premiers, freo 2nd, port 3rd, hawthorn 4th. Let's talk again after the home and away...

Are you starting them favourites against freo at pattesons??? If so there is the disagreement. If you are starting them favorites against adelaide in the showdown???? There is more chance of tge crows beating port then the eagle's beating freo.

Interesred to get your thoughts Randall
about who is going to stand against JK , Darling and McGovern in your D-Fence along with a resting Lycett/Cox andNic Nat, if we were to get a reasonable supply from midfield, I know you are saying that won't happen - but all the same, would be keen to get your expert analysis.

Dawson will take JK.
Dawson will take JK. Silvani will go to the resting ruckman if need be. Duffield or ibbotson can both play tall and go to McGovern. Don't be surprised to see someone come out to make way for Kepler to play back as he has been doing for peel. Don't be surprised to see zac ckarke and sandi making the eagle's ruckmen accountable up forward. Sandi has been playing more defensive, you'll see him dropping back into the last line and then others putting up blocks to prevent nic nat a run at the pack. Ross the Boss will give it some thought.
:) always confident.
And then, when the ball hits the ground don't be surprised to see our smalls run it out and catch the eagle's on the rebound.....
Having thought that through. Now feeling really confident....

I rate hurt for sure. I rate him so much I hope freo tag the crap out of him because he does his damage as a rebounder. I have no argument about hurn's quality. Paully's points were about tall defenders to counter the eagle's tall forwards. Hurn is another argument. As are the rebounding freo defence of Duffield ibbotson pearce and sutcliffe.
No arguments from me about hurn's quality.

Randall, you take this shit waaayyyyyy 2 seriously. As for the eagles chances in the derby,theres more hope in Glassy having a change of heart and making a come back b4 seasons end than the eagles having a win. And yes,I am an eagles supporter, and yes fellow eagles fans can bag me as much as they like for coming out and making such a statement. Im just calling it as i see it and stating the obvious. But you never just know on the day, and I wood b more than happy 2 eat my own words come games end.

I respect your honesty. My
I respect your honesty. My seriousness comes from my passion and the realization that after 20 years fremantle are actually serious contenders. My passion is a culmination of my desperation of freo winning the flag in 2014. I watched them live lose it in 2013 and at the corresponding time of last season wasn't actually sure they would make it to the mcg... now, I have an unwavering belief we will be back there this year and we will win and pav can retire a champion of the game and a legend of the FFC. :)

Probably not at the quality (consistency) of the current top 4. At the moment though, I don't think there's a clear favourite. Home preliminary finals will decide the grand finalists I reckon.
If we can get our number 1 team up and running you never know what could happen.

Please refer me back to my quote that ross has no faith in Morabito? Please do so. Mora is quality. Unfortunately, so is the current freo midfield. So much so there isn't room for a player of mora's quality. And ross the boss has the balls to say that publicly...... This is the professional fremantle, not the airy fairy eagles wanting to give glass a farewell game (glass was above that). If someone wants to play fir freo, they earn that right.

Mora.
Morabito is still ticking off a few things with his game that he needs to complete before Freo will look at him, he is still learning the game plan, but rest assured, when he gets back, he'll be a jet. Won't happen overnight and of course we need to keep our fingers crossed his knee holds up to the rigours of an AFL game. And I've just read Browny has thrown in the towel at the Loins.
