If I were tipping this year I'd pick freo but I honestly think we're a sneaky chance. Play subi pretty well and the way we've played the last few weeks might help us against freo's defensive pressure.

I reckon any team is a chance against Freo because in the past they have rarely blown teams away.And our form of late has been good.
I think a lot depends on what game style we bring to the table Friday night

They average more clearances, contested possessions, tap outs and on average deliver 30 more effective disposals per game than us.
When inside 50, they tackle 50% more than us and have a 58% scoring accuracy to our 50%

Huge chance
Dockers there to be beaten
Will be an interesting game of " chess "
Similar to Port Game
Can see extra numbers being dropped back by both teams which will mean a low scoring game
Tiges by 13 points

And we will be wearing out alternate Guernsey

We've got a 100% winning record in that strip  :clapping  ;D

We match up well against Freo. Expecting a win to be honest

Wonder what the locals are going to think about our away strip  :shh

Depends how the game starts, if they get away on us it will be up to Dimma to make changes to reflect matchups.

Freo = Liberty Valance At the moment.  :thumbsup

They are readty to be shot down.

RFC could win if we get away quickly and can control the game with 'The Richmond Way'

They can be beat .

Power took it up to them.
Sydney kicked 7 goals to 1 in the second half against them.
Bulldogs gave them a run for their money
Adelaide had 22 scoring shots to 18

Must take our chances .

It wouldn't surprise if we did win, we play subi and freo well generally, but I'll still tip the dockers

if we allow every opponent to take front position at the stoppages like we often did against the bummers we will get smashed

Yes.
A small chance.
I expect to lose though. :banghead

I think we're a chance to win.
having said that I think Freo may be too strong over there.

personally I like to use reverse psychology on myself, convince myself we'll lose  :shh

you better believe I do , and a few people in football circles have raised an eyebrow let me tell you  :shh RFC will be hellbent on not allowing freo to break our record of nine wins in a row :clapping

Its an interesting comparison of Ross Lyon vs Dimma.  3 years ago we won one each and we were clearly ahead because the one we lost we almost won.  This year people are writing us off.

Food for thought.

You'd think that has more to do with the way freo have improved under Lyon.
Whilst we seem to have matched up well on them in the past, it's them who have stepped up

The word on the street is , don't underestimate RFC.  :shh
Title: Re: Anyone give us a chance against Freo?
Post by: tdy on June 03, 2015, 08:26:34 PM
Hypothetical.

So Freo win this one and are 9 zip then only win 3 of the next 13 and finish 8th after having key players (Fyfe, Mundy et al) injured for many weeks, its a year crueled by injury. 

So who would you rate as having the better year Freo circa 2015 or Richmond Circa 2014.  They ought to rate the same but I bet most people would think Freo because they were a chance vs we just struggled in.

Post by: Rodgerramjet on June 03, 2015, 09:18:59 PM
We play Subi well
We travel well as a side.
We have a mini game within a game (not letting freo get more than 9 wins on the trot)
Freo are in a bit of a decline (have not played the last 2 weeks to there usual standard)

There is always a chance, but we are going to need everything going right.

Post by: Hard Roar Tiger on June 04, 2015, 06:11:21 AM
The circumstances of this game have previously seen us combust. I'm interested to see how players and coach respond tomorrow night.
As WAT would say "No Excuses!"
Title: Re: Anyone give us a chance against Freo?
Post by: mat073 on June 04, 2015, 11:30:52 AM
Our perception by the local Perth media is interesting.

Tuesday - Micheal Thompson on Chanel 9 described the Tigers as a dangerous side.

Wednesday - when asked by the news anchorwoman whether the Tigers should even bother coming to Perth , Tim Gossage described it as a "danger game " for Fremantle - Chanel 10

Of course every night we are told Nat Fyfe is the new Geez.
And any excuse to squeeze that mark taken by Nic Nat into a news story is taken.

No chance. Same as I've given us the last 3 weeks. Ride the pessimism train.  :shh

No chance.

if the goal umpire walks onto the field of play to blocks goals again then maybe not

Alot of things have to go right.
Then we need some luck.
12 goals either way will be a winning score.

Our list is pretty steady from last week and its a good balance of youth and experience.  Key players Lids, MArtin, Cotch, Rance are playing so we ought to be a good chance.
