I am leaning to a west coast win by about 32 points pulling away. Pavilich willbe crying at the end of te third quater because it has finally dawned on him he has wasted another pre season and his entire career at his spun of a club. Nat will be reported again after another cheap shot of the ball and ruin another opportunity to win something of recognition. McPhalin will break down with his dodgye back.
Should be a good weekend!!!

based on that, I will change my tip from Freo by 30 points to Freo by 65points

That is good.

The reason we no longer see pubs packed watching this game is because wc supporters are front runners. They have been loosing and therefore not turning up. On the other side of the coin - if Freo loose this they are complete pretenders in regard talk of premiership for my way of thinking.

Credit to the Eagles for fighting this game out and outscoring the Dockers in the last three quarters. They were obviously blown out of the water in the first quarter and a half but I thought that they showed a bit of character to keep going, even though the suspicion was there that Fremantle had one eye on their clash with Sydney next week during the second half. Also credit must go to their often maligned supporters who made lots of noise, waved their flags and encouraged their team for the whole game and cheered at their play in the last term particularly.

Totally disagree mike.. Eagles were weak as piss all game. Freo smashed them from wo to go & if Scott Lycett goes to bed tonight he better check if the boogie man is under his bed!! What a weak timid man he is. Well done freo it was an absolute belting. The game was over half way through the 1st quarter.

I have to give it to west coast for fighting back against a side who are one of the flag favs and who are one of the inform teams in the comp. clouded by injuries and still managed to fight good game westcoast.

Thanks for letting me know not to read your posts ever again old mate - your cut and past shows you are a struggling and should be ignored.

Totaly agree, i dont think the eagles can take jackshit out of that game, they were beaten by 1/4 time, without doubt the worst display ive seen, more than obvious the wce only had a chance once the dorkers midfield put the cue in the rack, the final margin means nothing as to who where far team.

I honestly can't see where Simmo is taking that mob, it's near talentless where it counts. In the middle and on the ball, Priddis might have won a Brownlow, but fark he looked ordinary today, Lycett has a heart the size of a pea, NIK NAT was ok in flashes but that's about it, looks like they are hoping for draft pics this year, but let's be honest it's been nearly 10 years since their last gf appearance, they really should have rebuilt by now, but I can't see them going anywhere with this group and a work experience coach.

It has definitely got to be Pavlich's last year, he doesn't even handball it anymore - just throws it. Can't even score a goal in a down hill race.
Good to see Johnson and the like blocking Nic Nat out of a fair few contests, they almost looked like they were going for the ball. Ross Lyon putting the cue in the rack half way through the second quarter.... Yeah that's what Ross likes to see, one and a half quarter efforts.
I am surprised the Eagles didn't lose by 130, I guess the opposition just didn't have what it takes!
