Don't really see your point on this, seems pretty even if you ask me.

Its not just a matter of the ins and outs for this week.

I reckon the Hawks depleted forward line tilts the game big time at home Freos way.
I dont reckon Gunston will play either and imo Lake will be a tad underdone.

Interesting that Gunston has been named after initially being ruled out for 2 to 3 weeks. Clarko might be playing mind games there. Be interesting to see if he flys. With Lake coming back in they are near full strength, we've had many good players out. They've been without without Rioli most of the year and done well without without him. We are still missing McPharlin so that's a like for like out for both sides. I can't see how Ross Lyon can fit all those ins in.

Hes played 11 out of 19 thats more than half games played thats not bad for Rioli.

I still maintain the outs for Hawthorn in there forward line is massive (Gunston is no certainty to play imo) and the Freo ins are huge especially Walters and Mzungu.
Imo Roughead is a bigger out than McPharlin.
Lake at his age and games missed will be underdone.

I'd be surprised if Freo didnt win by 5 goals or more.

That will require a 100 point plus turnaround from last time we met coming off a 6 game losing streak against the Hawks. I'm reasonably confident of a win but I think it will be a lot closer than that.

They have only named Gunston so they can give him up until the last minute to prove his fitness. I dont think he will play though.

I must say, Freo are a MUCH better team with Walters in it. He is such a selfless and classy player.
Is he the best forward pocket in the AFL? He would surely be close.

Walters is pure class, we are suddenly looking like lot more dangerous side in attack with Ballantyne to come back in. I hope that little Puppa Smirf gets cited for kneeing Suttcliffe in the head off the ball. All I've heard is talk about Fyfe being in trouble.

Fyfe just got two weeks.

PN I have posted my view on the MRP on another topic. Suffice to say that it is a big joke. Interesting to see that there were no reports, medical or otherwise, in reaction to Hodge's falling as if shot yesterday. The last shred of credibility that the MRP had has been lost as a consequence of their finding today with respect to Fyfe. The Freo Dockers should take it as far as possible and employ the best qualified QC/SC they can.

Yes after Lyons bitch about last weeks umpiring, it seems to have worked a treat. I thought freo where a no excuse anywhere anytime footy club. Walters should have been pinged for ducking or holding the ball in the 3rd quarter but the maggots thought a ball up as the correct decision .
From the stoppage Donald duck Walters snaps the ball to the top of the square and hey presto mark and goal.
