Over many years poster have prematurely exaggerated the importance of a game.
This one is THE no excuses, pull your finger out game.
No Pav, No McPharlin, No Sandi, No Little Pr1ck
No Excuses Tigers.
Get the stuffin job done for once in your pathetic under achieving lives

agree HRT, at home against an opponent with those outs and playing to basically cement a spot in the finals, I will be bitterly disappointed if we don't have a red hot crack. If we bust a nut and get beaten by a better side I'll accept that, but we need to improve significantly on what we've shown in the last month or so which has been subpar.
-
With Rain and cold weather, every factor is in our favour. As usual, we know the supporters will show up but will the players?
-
Yes I agree .... This is it, this is the moment.
-
Maric and Vickery particularly have no excuses
Honestly we are kidding ourselves if we can't beat them with those outs.
3 of those 4 destroyed us last year. Griffin was the other.
Lids must start at FF, no ifs buts or maybes or we effectively play a man down if he starts in the middle.
-
They don't have the talent a Geelong or Hawthorn have but along with the Swans, Freo are the best drilled side in the comp. Rest assured Ross Lyon will have them up for this and if it means they win 1.4.10 to 1.3.9 he will ensure they do it.
Given what hapenned at home against them last year and the misfortune of last time in Perth our boys need to respond appropriately given the reward of finals football is there dangling in front of them and our next two fixtures v last years GF sides.
Whilst a win in round 1 this year was season defining the more I think about it the more I see tomorrow as season defining also, as much as the four points are valuable in our campaign to play finals footy to also breaking our duck against a Ross Lyon coached side.

How true is that

The rain will suit freo's flooding/rolling zone game plan. If we can't control the slippery ball they'll get to the contests. Hopefully it's a dry day

Spot on HRT. :thumbsup
MUST WIN!

With Collingwood losing, it's season defining as far as a win means a strong chance of a home final at least and a top 4 finish not out of the question if Essendon are stripped of all their points; A loss though would have falling back towards the chasing pack.

Yep we can't go into the game stupidly thinking because it's going to be cold and raining that Freo won't like it. Wet weather will turn the game into a more contested, high-tackling slog which they will see as a strength of theirs. The same goes for foolishly thinking that no Sandilands, Pav, Ballantyne and McPharlin is going to make it automatically easier for us. Lyon coached teams are well drilled and in the wet it'll come down to who works harder, who gets more numbers to the contests and who gets first to the footy lower and harder. Just got to hope we don't get some dumb umpire(s) that starts over-officiating the new 'into the legs' rule when the ball will spend most of the time on the ground with bodies sliding everywhere.
-
Yes to the last sentence unless of course we get thr rub of those decisions due to the home ground advantage.
The Ross Lyon well drilled thing can play into our favour if we can take the game on. The Cats win came down to their players taking on the Dockers game plan and being more front footed when they and the ball in their hand.

Fremantle are a system not a team. They cover players much better than other side as everyone knows their role and everyone values frenetic defensive pressure above all else. As was evident last year at the 'G in wet weather, slippy conditions suits their game style far more than ours.
Feo use their midfielders to pressure oppositions defenders as they attempt to transition it out of defense and their their small forwards deep to then run the indecisive defender down from behind to turn the ball over in the Forward half. In wet conditions this works even more effectively and Mayne will have a field day if we don't blanket him.
This will be a game of stoppages and defense. I hope we don't bomb it long to a crowded forwardline and man up any extra defenders they drop back.
This is a season defining game but its certainly not a given with Freo's outs. If anything I think Freo are 60/40 to win and 70/30 if it rains. :'(

Tomorrow is D Day for us, losing is not an option!!!!!
Sorry didn't see below! Add as necessary

McBurney better behave.
He usually pulls out a 50 from his rectum.

Where's Yellowandblackblood with the raise ?
-
Stripes, what you say makes sense but riddle me this - how is it that a coach of a team after 18 months can have a system that is so superior that another side who have had a coach for more than double that time are powerless to overcome it?
Given their injury list and our home ground advantage, this system sounds pretty damn good - maybe we should've hunted Ross Lyon ourselves?
It sounds like you think Lyon is a much better coach in which case the culture of failure continues to plague this club dragged down by low ambition and mediocrity!
I refuse to believe it, get the job done today Tigers!

I think the state the respective clubs were in when the coaches took over plays a big part.
Lyon took over a club where he was expected to take the next step.
Hardwick took over a club that that had to be stripped back bare and start again.
Two things stick in mind that highlight how far behind we were when he took over-
An early training report on a forum that mentioned that Hardwick had to stop training every 10 minutes or so and call them in just to get the basics right.
and Jack saying how it was like going from primary school to high school when hardwick took over.
We probably wont get a better opportunity to beat a top side this year, but freo will cover that sort of loss of personel better than we would at this point in time, just as we would cover it better now than last year and last year better than the year before......
If we bring our A game we should win, but it wont happen without a lot of hard work and discipline.

Surely we can close out this game?
-
With all due respect to Stripes - who is a superstar poster - let the Freo system never be raised as a valid reason to lose to them.
We were too hard, too skilful and simply worried them out of it.
The casserole is cooked, the lid is off.

Do you only feed people casserole at your parties. Why you so stingy? Still gotta a way to go yet before Hardwick finishes this job IMHO.

Dimma will only go the pig and lamb on the spit when the 11th Richmond Premiership is in the bag. He only does good parties Dimma, not like some around here ;D

What a great time to pull out a four quarter effort like that against a top 5 side and to shut up those saying we haven't beaten anyone yet :gotigers.
