Freo to start as favourites rd 4 and 5
|
#304436 |

We've buried a few hoodoos in the past few weeks and seem less concerned about our previous performances than at any other time in our history.
So it is time to bury one more ...
Rd 1 - 4 this year we went in as underdogs.
I will be interested to see how our senior players and kids handle the expectations and added pressure of starting games as raging favourites.
It is something we've done poorly - hopefully we can smash the Tigers and Egirls and prove we can win when expected to do so.

So another myth to put an end to.

Then we have games against Brisbane away and Sydney away. Games we just can't seem to win.
Time to put those myths away as well.

I'm happy to accept them as genuine. Unless the myth you're referring to is the even draw.

I think it's Brisbane away and Collingwood at home, isn't it? That would mean would-case scenario = 6-2.
I'm lovin' the worst-case scenario.

Be even nicer to be 7 - 1 wouldn't it?
I'm gaining confidence in these guys every week!

I agree with 391- it really is important for us to win the games we are expected to, and win them convincingly.
Hopefully, Harve's can keep them to 'the process'...

7-1's a distinct possibility.
But it's not like we'd be reaching for the gin bottle at 6-2.

It would be disappointing if we weren't favourites against Tigers and ooftits. With all due respect to the Tigers.

4 weeks in and we are now favourites!
Hot favourites at that at $1.08 i cant remember ever being shorter.
Like many have said we need to really smash Richmond and Eagles have a 5-1 record with decent percentage, healthy list and chance to fight hard with games against Collingwood, Swans and Brisbane.
At this stage a 7-3 record would seem like par based on current performances and teams we play away.
Wonder what the over 60 points is paying against Tigers. A year is a long time in football and some may point to the tigers beating us at Subiaco last year. Id just say look at results against Saints, Adelaide and Essendon away last year.

Another myth to bust? Richmond as our bogey team.
