We haven't lost interstate this year

Ooohhh I like that point

Taylor Duryea talking about today's game and Libba's tag last week here: Link to article

“It was a bit of a surprise to ‘Lib’. He didn’t expect and we didn’t expect it,” Duryea said.

“We like to think we support our tagged players really well, either getting them free or making an advantage to us whether it is a two v one or something similar. I think we went away from that and he didn’t help himself in getting support.”

Nerves are starting to kick in.

We should win this easily, but, I am still worried.

Yeah massive danger game. Not a fan of the 9 day break and with the disruption to our usual prep, there's a few things going against us. Hopefully it galvanises us as a win would boost our top 2/4 chances in a big way.

If they don't have their game faces on coming out against Freo we may be in trouble.

There is most likely nothing in it but I don't like seeing smiles and laughter running out on to the field. Call me old fashion but it signals the mind is not on the job at hand.

You’re old fashioned.

There is nothing to say that fun and focus are mutually exclusive.

I hope they go out and flog the Dockers, have a bloody good time doing it, and laugh all the way to the top 4.

A lot of posters expect to win this by a big margin? Interested to know why.
With our record in Perth, our injuries to key players, the 9 day break, and spending a week on the road are all concerns to me.

I expect the opposite. Freo are very hard to beat on their home deck.
Think we will get across the line late.

Yeah, this isn’t shaping as a blow out.

All those things you mentioned plus there’s meant to be rain around in Perth today.

Rain will most likely take our 3 talls out of the equation. I expect it to be a very hard slog with Fyfe and Mundy getting plenty of the ball. If it’s wet, then we cant allow Walters to get off the leash, and our backman have to defend the goal square.

Freo are just one of those teams you’re not sure what you’re going to get. Someone like Crowden could kick 4. Our mids will have to be top notch and most importantly, Naughton needs to kick straight.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Might be the lockdown blues but I've got a typical 'Sunday arvo in Perth' feel about this game. Feel like they'll do us comfortably. Absolutely nothing to base that on. Hope I'm wrong. A win would do wonders for us stuck in VIC right now!

hmmm yeah don't normally expect rain in Perth so good call out. I actually feel it could help us. Or at least limit their home momentum.

Agree. We have a tendency to lose those ones we are clear favourites to win. I’m shocked with the odds to be honest considering our record in Perth.

Edit: looks like some $$ have been going on Freo…were $3.09, now $2.89
We were $1.30, now $1.43

I don't quite get the angst many people seem to be feeling. We have been in great form and while there is a risk in every game played we should be feeling confident.

We are fielding a team with just 3 players who we regard as pups so we shouldn't be able to use the young and inexperienced get out clause either. Fremantle aren't a bad side but I'm not reading anything other than some nerves about playing in the west as the area's of concerns.
We need to back the boys who have served us so well this season.

I think this is the Bulldog way. Predisposed to feel like even blue skies will bring rain.
