Fremantle vs. Adelaide Subiaco - Round 5 2007

[TalkingFootball]

Game of the round.

[Balrog]

Adelaide have averaged 83 points and restricted their opponents by 27% less than their average.

Freo have averaged 105 points but yielded their opponents 16% more than their average.

result Adelaide 96 pts defeat Fremantle 77 pts

Only the Home Ground factor may save freo

[Brades]

You can't just go on stats to make a decision. Crows have on key defender in Rutten suited for Pav, anyone else gets pantsed. Then they have to worry about Tarrant and Campbell. Our midfield should be fine compared to the crows newbie midfield so I can see us winning this comfortably unless Craig does his ****py tactics.

[Balrog]

His tactics are why they are such a restricyive unit

[Kymbob]

Saint Neil is a legend and not an underachiever like Billy Connolly or whatever your coaches name is. He has proven his tactics are superior to most other teams and if the AFL could find it in their hearts to kick the drug cheats out of the league we probably would have snaffled another premiership or two by now!

Freo lucky to make the eight this year.

One good player in your side and he is a south australian. And just remember if you're recruiting staff weren't a bunch of imbeciles you would have had Mcleod....

[Brades]

Craig not an underachiever? What do you call the last two years then?

[Kymbob]

I'd say, bearing in mind that the Crows were tipped to be somewhere near the wooden spoon in Craig's first full year as coach and the fact that he has taken them to the preliminary finals two years running, that he has achieved a lot more than chris colon or whatever his name is ever will.

Anyway all the best this weekend and we'll see how the rest of your forwards perform when Pavlich is kept quiet as Rutten does to all key forwards week in week out.

May the best team win or should i say may the crows win.

[Balrog]

As an impartial observer.
I like to watch high scoring teams like freo play other high scoring teams.

I dislike watching two overly defensive low scoring teams play each other (listening WCE and Swans).

But, unfortunately, a defensive outfit will on balance defeat an offensive outfit. (Driving force behind recent rule changes to advantage forwards)

nuff said.

Adelaide should win but I'm tipping the Dockers. If they lose this


Adelaide look class as they have the last 2 years. Freo's last chnace to get back into the mix. At home there is no excuse, so if you can't win this Freo you can p11ss off back to the WAFL and take over Peel Thunder's reign at the foot end of the table.
