We seem to be doing better on Sundays than we were Friday nights

Yeah. You may have a point but I'm not ready to call the season. Next 2 games will be huge in that regard.

I expect

Cottrell in for Ed Curnow
If TDK and/or Pittonet fit, then Young and/or Jack out

Binns played well again in the 2's and must be close and Cowan must be pushing Cincotta for a spot

I'd play Dow but the MC won't

Freo have lost at home this year against North, Dogs and Tigers

Footage they showed after the game was inconclusive at best. From the blur-o-vision it looked like bit of push and shove, then the Hawks guy copped a harder one than he was expecting and went to ground.

I’ll grant you if we win the next two games, we’re still in the hunt. (Pretty big if, to win either of them let alone both though…) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It is going to be a big ask and I know we've played 2 below average teams, but the boys look like they're enjoying themselves again. On paper I believe we are good enough to win next two. It's largely between the ears that will determine if we do.

After the Freo game you can all relax and stop thinking about finals. We won't beat Freo Bubble will pop next Sunday Hopefully then Voss will stop playing Ed Curnow and will give the likes of Dow and Binns a go

I was there today and it was hard to work out how good we were or how bad they were. I did like our pressure and run though One thing we do need especially if TDK goes is get a good ruckman. Our midfield needs it. A Toby Nankervis or Sean Darcy type would make us so much better

If Cowan does come in, it’ll be because the mix has changed. Schultz, Switkowski, Walters & Frederick can make it very hard to clear the ball. I like the idea of Boyd more than his output, so that might be where Binns gets a look in. Not so much as a back pocket, but in the reshuffle. Whichever way the MC go, that's where the key battleground will be. Vossy says both rucks were a test this week, so one of them might be right. In any case, Darcy’s dominance in the contest hasn’t translated into a superior clearance game. Weitering shouldn’t have anything to worry about once the MRO does it’s review. Huge game.

They’ve only won 1 of the last 4 which was against the scum, and have lost to GWS, tigers and dogs. Very winnable game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Admittedly haven't seen the Weiters incident but if the below interpretation of off ball incidents is accurate, he could be in trouble. strikes off the ball usually graded intentional conduct under match review guidelines. Also to note, such incidents are usually not classified as low impact, even if the actual impact was low.

I believe Dow has facial fractures. Not sure what that means in terms of time out but sounds like he wouldn't be back this week even if the MC were hypnotised into wanting him to play. The positive, compared with our win over West Coast, is that we've now had two of these wins in a row, separated by a bye-week during which I imagine we would have been pracitsing this style of play so it is more deeply embedded than when we beat WC. AND, Gold Coast were in good form before we played them, and Hawthorn has played some pretty good footy recently too. Freo has played good and bad footy this season. We've probably been on a similar journey this season in terms of underperforming teams who were expected to be amongst it in September. Us worse than them. They will be tough to beat in Perth. Good test for us. I also think its a good time for us to go on a road trip, again to consolidate the style of play and the team cohesiveness after a couple of wins.

The trouble is the umpire (Nathan Williamson?) must have viewed the incident to report Weitering on the spot. Without any clear vision, his account of the incident may be the determining factor.

Drop a couple ingots into the KC and fetch his Tibaldi.

If we can contain Freo's small forwards we'll win. They are the only thing I'm worried about in this game

Cincotta is doing nothing wrong at all, infact i think he has made a huge difference with our ball carry .. I think our team balance is spot on at the moment, all over the ground. Unless its a change for injury why would you drop anyone? Cottrel for Ed maybe, Young for Pittonet if he is fit ... but im not sure why we are so quick to change, what finally looks like a balances lined up.
