Eagles Vs Dockers
 

Going to be a good win by fremantle but i wouldnt be reading much into it. In the last 4 rounds fremantle has travelled once and that was only to adelaide. West Coast has travelled to melbourne and the gabba in hot weather last week. Listening to it just sounds like all eagles players are stuffed while fremanlte is full of energy.

Still wouldnt put cash on freo winning the flag. Take a look at the draw since round 14 since the streak started for freo.

Freo played
RND 14 ESSENDON - HOME ( BOTTOM 8 SIDE )
RND 15 COLLINGWOOD - AWAY ( PIES WERE IN A FORM SLUMP )
RND 16 MELBOURNE - HOME ( DEES WERE IN A FORM SLUMP )
RND 17 CARLTON - AWAY ( BOTTOM 8 SIDE )
RND 18 HAWTHORN - HOME ( BOTTOM 8 SIDE )
RND 19 ADELAIDE - AWAY ( CROWS ARE IN A FORM SLUMP )
RND 20 ST KILDA - HOME
RND 21 WEST COAST - ( COMING OF A BIG GAME IN BRISY )

If you have a look at those games the only real win was against the saints and they were coming of a big game against Geelong and travelling to subi.

Overall I rate the dockers 4th or 5th to win the flag with WEST COAST, ADELAIDE ( Going down the list due to injuries and poor form ), ST KILDA and MELBOURNE.

All in all freo is playing ok footy but they are playing teams just at the right time.

Im tipping freo to finish 3rd to play EAGLES or ADELAIDE either way freo wont beat either of these teams in a big final. Freo should then win the following week playing at home only to lose again playing against the above teams in the prelim.

Hi racingnovice, looks like it all unfolded as predicted. Can the Dockers take it up a notch next year?

Don't see why not!

I'm more interested on how the eagles go this season? On the field and especially off the field ;) They just suspended Ben Cousins indefinitely !!

..,,according to the local WA press up to 8 Eagles players have admitted drug use.. :eek:

Yeah, read that report. Sounds like most of it goes back a few years.

Back on the field Chad Fletcher could be sidelined for up to 6 weeks after injuring a knee yesterday at training! That's both Fletcher and Cousins missing from the Eagles midfield for Saturday night’s clash with Sydney!!

Considering whats been happening with the eagles on & off field recently, the swans a big chance for revenge this weekend! Punters obviously agreeing, head-to-head swans $1.53 eagles $2.40

Wouldn't be writing off the eagles too quickly, a lot of critics out there at the moment that they would luv to silence!

I'm sure Ashley Sampi would luv to do just that! Read he's a good chance of playing for the eagles tomorrow.

Last quarter, what a great match in progress! Could go either way!!

Great match for a season opener, well done Eagles!

Yes, well done eagles. Looks like the dockers are up to their old tricks. Really don't understand why they were [are] so short for the premi!

different result come grand final day :)

Well the dockers have predictably drifted! History suggests another tough encounter against Essendon on Sunday, dockers don't have much of a winning record at the Telstra Dome. Could go into next weeks derby 0 from 2!!

Likely to be zip from 3 after next weekend ;)

That's the Frustration of Fremantle.
As soon as you think it's safe to go into the water, THEY LET YOU DOWN!
And they not alone in that.
KANGAROOS, amongst 3 or 4 others.

The dockers will lift this weekend as they normally do against the eagles. Should be another great game!

very unlikely :)

How's the passion, purple? :)

Have to be on the improve after yesterday's result :)

The passion is fine westi, thanks for asking :)
It's the frustration I have trouble managing :rolleyes:

Hi purplepassion
 

Yet another frustrating week for the Dockers. Catch-up football (again) against Geelong. Slow starts killing 'em. Tough day at the office coming up Friday. St Kilda already in Perth, getting ready!

I'm another [frustrated] Dockers supporter, so extra happy with their win on Friday. Peter Bell, you're a beauty!

hi westernforce :) was a great game belly, when he fires to team generally does likewise, too bad age does weary :(

The Dockers really have to make it back-to-back wins to get some momentum. Will be tough tonight. Head To Head Collingwood $1.55 Freo $2.40

The Dockers had their chance, inaccuracy cost them dearly. The next challenge, the bottom of the ladder, at home. If they can't win that, then absolutely no hope of finals!

According to the market [Freo $1.15 Rich $5] the dockers are home & hosed! I wonder ;)

Not real convincing, but they got there :rolleyes:

Well another week another game, another loss :rolleyes:

Tarrant out, the whiz back, at home, should win, have to win!

Yep, punters agree, should win, Freo 1.22 Carlton 4.00

...and win they did...no real surprises...great to see the whiz back & in form..

What a horrible weekend for WA footy!

and another!

Connolly out Mark Harvey in
Not a dockers fan but think a positive move if Harvey gets beyond the 'caretaker' role

Couldnt ask for a better start!

was a great weekend for WA footy! we need a few more :)

Big day today!!
 

Head To Head WC $1.23 Dockers $4.00

Didn't they play well!

Didn't they both play well
