Just watched the first 2 quarters of the Fremantle Swans game in Round 18 since I did not watch that game early in the year. Based on how they are playing now vs how they were playing then vs what personnel we had in Round 18, I think we have a realistic chance.
Despite our personnel we had < 50 entries. If we do that again we would not get the job done.
1. Logan McDonald is playing a substantial game now and he was missing then.
2. Papley had only come back from injury for this match. He is going to be tons better.
3. We played Hamling as a forward defensive role on Alex Pearce and he ended up with no disposals. But Will Edwards was strong for most of the game. Hopefully Hamling can do that in defence in PF.
4. Errol was back for only 2 games. He is much stronger and quicker and ready to take on the tackler now than in round 18.
5. The game is set for being a tactical masterclass in the centre square and defensive half for us. What happens off the defensive structure on the offensive side, I am sure we won't think about it too much with regards to planning.
But let's bring the heat on the Freo players. I think they all suffer from Anxiety except maybe Luke Jackson and Shai Bolton (Both with premierships - Been there and done that guys)
