Predictions?
This really could go either way. It's been drizzling all day here in Perth so it will be wet tonight. This will probably impact Essendon more than Freo given there double rucks.
I'm tipping Freo in a nail biter by less than a goal
Geez you're keen, only 3 hours early lol. Nah don't blame you been looking forward to making up for last week's dt shocker all week.
Dockers by 4-6 goals I reckon but could be a blowout. Got suban and goddard only is this match, hoping to be on at least 170 after it.

Big game for my boys henry, getting excited
it would be funny if we finished top of table at end of round.... you would never hear the end of it from Valk

Haha he;s actually playing in the curtain raiser. He'd be soaked
Bombers by three goals.
Have Heppell, Stanton, Goddard and Fyfe playing, with Kommer my midfield emergency. Would want [95+115+100+105] 400-450 from those four.
Wish I was going to the match, but am busy :/
Could be a grand final or preliminary final preview. Would probably bank on these two being 3+4 being the Pies and Swans instead of top 2 though.
Haha, you mean in DT terms :P
Watson will get close to 100 but not much more. Heppel and BJ will go 80-90.
I think Pav will turn it on tonight - he's had enough match practice now and it's a big game and a big home crowd expected. Barlow should score well also, hopefully 100+.
Freo are on a 8 game win streak at home, yet Bombers are 5 wines from 12 overall matches at the venue, vs Freo.
Close game, Freo for me. ;)
C'arn you bloody dockars!
Yeah should be a cracker. Not tidy skills if it has been raining but I'm tipping freo in a close one by 6 points.
As for DT I have Fyfe, Heppell and Goddard one field. Kommer on the pine
got heppD, god, mundy, fyfe in this one, let's hope mundy/fyfe in particular do something constructive

Lol absolutely no chance bombers will make the grand final, very much outside chances to make a prelim either I reckon. I've got freo, hawthorn, west coast, sydney, collingwood and geelong ahead of them.
Only got Godd in this. In him I trust. 8)
Got Jobe, HeppD, Goddard and Barlow. will be a very close game, obviously some bias here but I'm going Essendon by 7.
hoping to be 410/4 8)
Hepp and Godd for me, carn you guys.
Freo sub is Sutcliffe Bombers sub Colyer
No late changes
Source AFL twitter
Bombers sub is Colyer.
Just God in DT.
Traded out my two Freo players in Elite so don't have anyone in play. :(
Yay, Kommer not sub! Still on my bench though.
Freo seem to have an appetite for the wet weather contest these days, I reckon they'll win by 28 points.
Yay bigger price rise for Kommer hopefully who will turn into Crouch :)

Is it worth fielding Kommer instead of Viney?
Is it still raining?

It's raining off and on atm has been all day really
Hm, I'd go with Viney.
Kommer had a good first up game. But he ain't a big disposal winner and in the wet, personally I don't see him scoring too much.
Happy to be wrong of course!
Yep still drizzling here!
I traded Jobe in this week... Weather is making me 2nd guess that

He doesn't have a good record against the Dockers either. Crowley will go to hit and probably hurt his score. I don't even think a ton is a certainty...

Well then... leave him in because I don't have him ;)
Who are your current mids? There are a few I'd definitely consider bringing in this week over Watson...
Crowley on Stants!
Shano->Griff nek week will be the go. :)
hope Kommer slows down a bit
Kommer already made about 25k already :o
Kommer warming my bench nicely... Now one of my fielded rookies will be the sub!
Are live scores not working for anyone else?
AFL Match Centre down, which means that here and AFL is out of action
up again now though :)
Wow. Some absolute shocking kicks.
Essendon are sniping this week. flower Stanton doesnt deserve that score

You're just jealous coz you know that he's better than Ablett but don't want to admit that Jukes is right.
will Heppell get to his BE (33)?
Feeling good that I don't have Heppell.
The jury is still out on Hepp's ceiling.
Let's got Hamish, make up for last week my man! 8)

Heppell better do something special in the second half...
Heppell is not making me happy.

I don't give a shower about Jules' stupid opinion. Stanton has been falling over and staging 4 free kicks and then he gets points from showerty tackles which aren't even effective.
my opponent has Hepp too so i'm not that worried
anything in the McPharlin sub, will it cost Ryder some weeks?
Yeah reckon Ryder is gone
Glad I didn't dump Duffman! That was a beast of a first quarter! Not great to see Watson doing so poorly, ironic considering Stanton ending up getting Crowley, yet he is actually scoring well. Great to see Fyfe smashing it too, and Bellchambers is doing fairly well also. Be happy with an 80 from him at this stage, but regretting not going for either Kruzer or Goldstein.
Whatlez stfu . Crowley has been a cow the whole game.
we're playing very poorly. hopefully we hit back
Ryder should get some week.. Kommer should get off
all players have been poor, :( Jobe. well done for all Stanton owners too
I would be up against someone who has Duffield. ::)
But 3 or 4 league league opponents have Heppell so swings and roundabouts.

Nah Hibberd has been great
Heppell only needs 35 a quarter to make me happy and he got that last game so let's get around him!!!!!!!
Come on heppstar let's go mate.
Jobe with 14 points so far this quarter (24 at HT) and Essendon making a comeback
Stants 6 free kicks for :o
Holy shower these umpires have lost the plot.
best game i have ever seen stanton play. not the stats, the effort, crowley and all he has stood up.
no i'm not a stanton fan but credit where credit is due?
Bellchambers is out of my team the moment lockout ends. Massive spud >:(

Much like Duffield he did almost nothing in the last half unfortunately. They kept sticking him in the forward line and giving Ryder almost all the rucking duties.
Great game by the way, feel bad for the Freo supporters.
flower Freo you shower cows. Essendon sniping early taking out Freo key defender.
good to see Ryder do well before he's punted following the ban and Leuey's emergence :)
how the shower did Heppell end up with 78?
imagine if mundy didn't drop the ball a billion times - woulda got 120+
flowering pisses me off, he just cruises around doing nothing and overrunning/dropping/fumbling/bumbling the footy
Well I kept Watson in and c what happens! Hahaha.
And how can someone b on 70 at half time and yet finish on 86. God Duffman goes missing. And just to rub salt into the wound Heppell had to have a cracking last quarter didn't he
Jobe scored shower, but I love him :P
Fremantle were WOEFUL they learnt NOTHING from the Western Bulldogs game last week
I feel privileged to watch an absolute rip snorter of a game like that. Brilliantly exceptionally intense. Heppel carved up last quater, from 22 at half time, 34 at three quarter time then finished with a respectable 78 considering.

same umpires for the entire game.... ::) silly comment he had 8 tackles, haters will be haters and as i said i'm not a fan but at least i am impartial enough to give credit where credit is due...
not many players have that kind of game on crowley in WA. say what you will while watson had a shocker stanton stood up, simple fact.
@ cicjose - fremantle were incredible for a half, unbeatable - then they were what you said :)
Duffield 70 to half time then 16 for the 2nd half...wow!

he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. so obvious. poor bloke, when/if all the coaches are sacked it all falls to him....
what a game, how good was that. not an Essendon supporter, but good on 'em. one of the best wins in the clubs history, and that's saying something. well done
Truly great win for the Essendon Football Club. All week Hird has carried himself with poise and dignity. Tonight the players displayed grit, character and team spirit in bucket loads to have what must rank as amongst the best wins in the clubs history.
Just got back from the game, absolutely shattered. Freo manage to let it slip yet again. :(
Duffman was on track for 140 at half time and finished with 86. ::) Still glad I kept him though.

I'd have to agree. I'm not a fan of him, he is good footy player & a good asset to have, I'll give him that. But he ain't elite by any means of the word.
So glad Freo supporters have had their bubble burst... No way they should've lost last night. But it just goes to show that there's still a soft-as-butter culture at Freo that just doesn't stands up to pressure unless it's playing "Big Brother" down the road.
