Baz that list looks extremely strong, as has been said, get on top of Peelmantle early and they put the cue in the rack like their Eagles cousins do on a regular basis. Scoreboard pressure and a bit of niggle as these AFL primadonnas don't like the physical stuff especially from WAFL blokes.

SS you seem to forget half of SF side are ex AFL guys(or ex prima donnas)...gonna be hard to split these two teams.....hopefully it goes down to the wire....

freez...a big difference between ex-AFL and current AFL.. One group works full time and plays as a semi professional whereas the other group only does footy and is provided with world class support teams.

good luck on the weekend SF

Looking forward to the game today and having a proper look at South Freo against a chunder side with a lot of ins. Not sure why they (the chunder) are so obsessed with these Docker B listers. Also think the WAFL should go back to a final 4. Secondo mi Souths have earnt the right to play Subiaco for a place in the GF already.

These blokes at South play their guts out all year to get to the finals, only to be ambushed by an AFL team.

Sorry but this system is totally f----d.

I agree, shit game to watch I thought, couldnt see any of sf flair except for 5min in last. Peel play shit football just like freo boring to watch 90 percent of the time. Also they should have sung the Dockers song as most couldnt give a f#$% about peel.

I watched most of the second half. The camerawork and commentary from channel 7 was abysmal.

I watched the game and thought the SF we have seen all year just didn't show up. Freo ressies didn't play that well. I reckon the SF lads might be a little disappointed in their efforts today. Having said all that it's still ridiculous they have to play against half an AFL side. The smug Cam Sheperd we see in Sept months was back on display today. Seriously the bloke couldn't coach a sly fart in to position then come Sept thinks he's bloody Jock McHale:huh:

Yep completely understand BC...but sport has a huge mental component to it and tell me what is those AFL guys motivation or loyalty to Peels cause compared to SF boys.....yep understand physically Peels Freo boys may be better physically prepared.....but on pure footballing ability there is nothing between a Taberner or Shaw...a Johnson or DeLuca....a Collins or Wilson.....Hockey or Suban?.....one would think SF players are mentally more motivated and physically hardened than Peel's aligned boys.....everyone says hit them hard early and see them crack mentally....surely with all Freo's resources these boys would surely run faster,further and for longer to prevent that tactic from working.....they don't though.....just dont buy into this argument Freo's professionals have more time to recovery and prepare v SF semi professionals....surely the amount of training,weights etc they do is far more strenuous than what SF players do....wouldnt that be negatively phyisically taxing on Freo's guys esp the younger guys?...SF season is only just starting whilst Freo season is done...so surely SF have the mental motivational advantage over Freo's Peel boys too....ditto for Subi too.....
