It'll be interesting to see how many Freo players suit up for this week's scratchie against FART down at the Thunder Box....probably bugger all I'd say with the exception of a few pimply faced rookies.

You guys are playing Peelmantle BC

South v EP @ Lathlian

yes mate...that's what I said...we're playing FART at the Thunder Box.

Yarran played for Gosnells on the W/end.

Thanks Leedy, sensible way to get back into the game, away from even the limited limelight of WAFL footy.
Whether he gets back to WAFL or not the main thing is that he gets his life together and stays out of trouble.

I think your right BC, I wont go to Centrelink stadium unless it was for a Su v Peelmantle final, will look forward to the following week against the Gummies.

Yep...I'm still deciding whether I'll go down or not. If it's raining then no way but if the weather is ok then probably will.

Freo far too good...again. 14.8 to 6.7. High standard, intense game for the most part, but we were found wanting with their pressure again, it forced us to make alot of mistakes. We were missing a few, Phez, Hancock, Lockyer, Newton, Adamson, Stevo, Cockie (who was in a knee brace), but I suspect freo we far from full strength also. If you thought last year was bad with big Darcy, well now they have two giants with Jones also wreaking havoc! Can't see them being beaten at all this season tbh, apart from if their afl side cops a lot of injury's. Pencil in the three-peat. Goals are going to be a big problem for us, where are they coming from? We will still be up there but no chance against this mob especially in the finals. Heal our best Deluca was pretty good and Clarke and Fletcher did ok vs the giants. A couple of interesting faces in the huddle, Sam Menegola (he would have been handy) and Yaz. Looks like he's back, hopefully he is and he can get his shit together quickly because we have pretty much fa else in the goal kicking department atm

Only pre-season but that sounds a bit ominous for the comp DG, 8 goals is a shellacking in any game. Darcy is a dead set monster and a a skilled monster at that, there's nobody in the G7 that can get near him strength and size wise, not since Johnson retired, lets hope he's in fantastic form and plays all season with Freo then has a month long soft tissue injury in the Dorks last game, nothing serious just enough to keep him out of the WAFL finals.
We will make a far better fist of things when all those experienced players come into the team. looking forward to the hitout with East Freo next weekend.

Unfortunately they are all strong Senior, highlighted in one passage when number 44 (not sure who he is) pushed Joycey off the ball like he was nothing and then followed up and banged it through...
