TOPIC:

They kick a higher score, they win. Last year., I think round 21 they kicked 17 goals and won by 3 or 4 goals. Depends on start, Freo must get away and have The Hawkes chase them otherwise Hawks probably win. Should be a great game.

To be any chance against the Hawks Crowley must play. It will get in the Hawks head and distract them and upset their game plan and mindset. It's a no brainer for me. Also the crowd will go nuts when Crowley runs out, makes a tackle stick or kick a goal or two which he has shown throughout his career he is more than capable of.

I'll be honest in the first 9 games I thought it was a positive not having Crowley available because it made us more attacking bit since then clubs have worked us out.

Lyon wont play Crowley its way too big a risk, hasn't played for 12 months & then to be brought back into a prelim! no way. What if Mitchell cuts loose in the first quarter then what do you do with Crowley? For what its worth I think Freo will win by about 4 goals - they have been the best team all year.

Im not a Freo supporter but theres no way known Lyon will play Crowley after 12 months out and being 31.
If you are a Fyfe or an Ablett out for that length of time then you would play.

The Eagles beat Hawthorn without having any hard tags on Hawks players.
Personally i cant see what Crowley brings to the table.
If was on the Hawks coaching panel i would be hoping the Dockers play Crowley.

No Johnson, no McPharlin no hope

I am confident the boys will lift and win.
Freo by 17 points, in a low scoring game.

Sorry Aman, best two defenders out, cannot see it, really hope Dockers win though, but have to play out of their skins, and as mentioned before think they need to kick 90 points to win

You mean like WC having its best two defenders out, I'll believe it when the team sheets are out not when Hackdorn speculates about it.

If Freo kick 12 bowls tonight they win if WC can restrict the Hawks to nine goals I don't see no reason why Freo can't tbh I'm more worried about Rioli, Bruest and their midfielders kicking goals rather than their key position players.

Johnson will play. Dockers by 4 goals.

I agree I think freo can win even without Johnson. Hawthorns problem was Walters, and now with Ballantyne playing as well, they need to cover both. That will be a huge challenge for hawthorn. I cant write off freo, they finished top for a reason. I think they can do it. Im thinking maybe a 11 goal to 8 game. Something like that.

Told ya boys. Mitchell is tearing us a new arsehole. Should have picked Crowley instead letting that little shit get his own way.
