Game Day Round 3, 2025: West Coast vs Fremantle - The Owen Derby

[ziad]

Coloured heart emoji day?



There is last week’s sapping game in the heat, but there’s also the Freo tightening up and not closing out games on the reg factor to balance it out hopefully

Brisbane strong in the second half, so park the excuses. No Waterman and Joe on top of the short term impact of Darling and TB leaving is a bigger concern. Let's hope the midfield has a real crack and OA lifts.
I hear it's wet and windy?
I would be happy with a competitive effort.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Windy af should suit our no skills gameplan

Won't be wet, but is windy. Pretty strong easterly all day, who knows what that means inside of Optus.

 

[Astro7]

GC's midfield bullied us physically. Freo's won't be able to do that.

Yep, and GC have since gone on to show how good that midfield is.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I'll know we're a good team again when I feel the need for a nervous poo

 

[Cuzz09]

A lot of my Freo mates think their doomsday scenario is winning and Longy keeping his job.

I reckon you get some of those odd efforts near the end of a coach's tenure; they don't go out to lose per se, but the motivation isn't exactly there. We're not without a decent chance today.

Sounds very Port/Hinkley

Graham to run with Serong?

I’d have baker on Serong, Kelly with Brayshaw and graham on whatever leftover they can find

Yeah they were but it was still brutal - record number of cramps according to them too. Who is Joe?! No excuses for sure, was just saying if we were to fatigue and if it was tight late it could be offset by a classic Freo choke anyway!

 

[Cuzz09]

Cant wait for the days when we are just running forward loose getting easy goals and Joe the goose in the goal square goals.
You know you are going well when you don't have to bust your ass for every little scrap of reward.

Picturing Embley/Lecca/Brett Heady/Lewis toe poking goals across the line 20m in space and hoping soon that's Malakai/Long/Owies/Hewett

Joe is the autocorrect form of Yoe.

 

[FatPizza]

Wait, so IF we win, J.Long. is out? That's the purples vibe?

Have we ever been the giver of a coach killing game?

Matthew Knights in 2010. Well, to be more accurate LeCras was the coach killer.

 

[Keys]

If you’re going to keep misspelling Yeo as Yoe then it’s going to autocorrect to Joe

 

[Westend]

Love the positivity of the pre game game thread....then reality sets in when the game starts lol

Man f u
How about going to the game
And have a opinion keyboard warrior
Instead if having a go at us posters

Haha chill my brother in Christ. bzparkes and I were just having a debate on the matter of Hall’s omission and if it was was in fact outrageous or simply just rageous. It didn’t get nasty and that was that.

I appreciate yours and all posters that give us their insights from the sidelines, I honestly do. Props to you and all those who do it.

My issue here was with old mate using one of those anecdotal snips as gospel in his argument.

I’m a member so do get to a few games.

Keep the practice match and reports on random chicks you saw at Rotto coming by all means though!

Was a good reality that kicked in last week..

Got to like this for confidence, from the Eagles match preview -
Big call: The West Coast Eagles will win the 60th RAC Derby with a nail-biting four-point victory.

 

[We_The_West]

Liam Ryan will kick 5 goals

 

[Biggie]

Not only am I going to flip the bird I'm also going to throw a steel chair onto the oval for Harley to use on the ump.

I'll get the tables

I reckon we killed off Ross in the 2.19 game, but they decided to keep him around for another month to pretend like it wasn't us that knocked him off.

You may or may not be correct. Keys board isn't my friend.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Hewett the sub. Wouldn't be surprised if he's given a week off for rest soon.

 

[WCErevival]

Longs a lucky boy.

 

[WCE_18]

Omeara late out for Freo, handy

Hmmm... dunno how I feel about Hewett sub.

Hope the games still in reach when he gets a run
