What I find interesting and often over looked is Longmuir's record is similar to Ratts
Another irony, Longmuir's trademark is defence...Freo became a more defensive team after RTB went, including taggers. (12 seconds research) https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... ir+tactics

The start of another horror fixture??
Pretty safe bet that we will play interstate against Gold Coast or GWS

Freo specifically requested an away fixture Round One in return for securing two banner games in Perth later in the season.
Wish granted.

St KIlda: (Suck it up)

Now that we refuse Cairns and China, we can expect less leverage for our 20 million drip feed, you'd guess.

Elsewhere
ex-Saint Ben Long will play successive games against the Swans.
Will be interesting to see if he can get votes again and possibly create trivia question history.

Yeah, me too, but you can't blame him after all the s*** heaped on him by supposed supporters.

Perth news is saying that Optus is hosting Ed Sheeran shortly before Round 1, and the AFL or Optus folk are worried about the grass not recovering in time.

what's the bad news - very winnable home game round one? i'll be watching it regardless of the day or time. you melbourne peeps just need to do your thing and turn up at the ground. i'll tag with you when we play up in god's country.
bloody heck if melbourne can pack a stadium at 4am to watch a soccer match on tv, why can't we draw a decent crowd on a late sunday arvo?

I thought the AFL got rid of the Sunday 4.40 time slot?

This is ludicrous. Sunday games should be no later than 2pm start.

Won't go, not worth the hassle getting back home ready for work, kids etc by 9pm. Far easier to just stay at home, not worth the hassle.

Really thought we'd play Collingwood against like last year on a sat night.

Sunday..... 4.40..... what a joke

Yeah so back in the day when games were played on Saturday afternoons and taking the kids to the footy meant letting them go free range out the back of the stands searching for dregs in beer cans and half burnt cigies while you spewed your lungs out in the animal cage.

The footy is far less family friendly these days.

I dunno, makes you wonder where this country is heading.

Me personally? I wouldn't walk across the road to watch a f****** game of soccer

At least they were home in time to watch Hey Hey It's Saturday.

I'll be driving to the Sunny Coast on Weds, 15/3, evening after my wife shuts the store.
We will stay over night and pick up my 2 year old granddaughter, already a 10 game veteran, then we will drive to Brisbane Airparkand depart for Melb.
We are staying in the City and will checkin after catching the Skybus. I think we are getting g the picture.
If I hear how inconvenient the 4.40 Sunday time slot is again, I might choke on my Soy Latte,Tuesday morning at 7am, when I checck out and reverse the transit process.

Given the time difference with WA and Perth's alignment with Bali, won't it be about 6am Monday for the Dockers players body clocks.

Npt when channel 7 Perth want a game to run into their news.
Like some one said earlier not selling games we have stood up to our PIMP so we cannot expect any favors.

With Hayes, Harvey and Goddard's support ... it should be in the bag.
:evil: :evil: :evil:
An injury free

“The recovery and rehabilitation period for this injury will be a number of months, which we will provide updates on as he progresses through his rehab program – suffice to say his return to play will not be until the season is well underway.”
