Our performance left much to be desired, but PA are far from top form as well. Freo butchered the ball more than we did, and they were playing in dry conditions, and still managed to win.
Ebert and Wines are looking very sharp though and Boak has to get tagged (probably by Bird). I don't know if we will have an advantage with Pyke an Tippo against and underdone Ryder and Redden, who hasn't played at senior level in 2 years. We have to win the midfield battle to pull off a victory. But probably the main thing is to be hard at the contest for 4 quarters.
I think we can and should win.
