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

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

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

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

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.

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.

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!"
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

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.
