Well, based on decent team selection (Witts & Frost have struggled lately and I live in hope that Clokey isn't mentally spent) and that Freo aren't full strength & won't relish the conditions, I'm tipping the Pies in an arm wrestle by a stressful 2 goals.

When I think of Freo's huge recent wins I wonder if I'm mad but they play much better on their own turf & haven't been at the G yet this year. (Magpie tragic or real reasons?)

Go Pies, let's get this!!

[think positive]

Forecast for a real Shiitty winter day. I might start layering the clothes now! hopefully will give us something to cheer about out of this miserable week!

Go Pies! Do it for Eddie.

I am just hoping it isn't raining as we sit adjacent to the fence so no cover at all.

[MagpiesTheGreat]

Pies to win by 20 points. Shocker dockers to stay under the water...

[John Wren]

someone will end a losing streak tonight. either the dockers will win at the mcg for the first time since 2006 or pies will defeat the dockers for the first time since 2010. given this season's penchant for ending streaks i am tipping the former is a high probability of happening. that said, pies by 17.

[GoWoodsmen]

No idea what to expect tonight. Hope Cloke rips the game apart, albeit, going to be tough given the likely conditions. Suspect Cox will be a late out but not a fan of any of the emergencies. Maybe Tooves? Not really like for like and Tooves offers nothing up forward. Perhaps Caff could come in an revive his former self as a forward?

Pies by 45.... my last game live in who knows how long. C'mon Pies... don't do it for Eddie, do it for me!!!

Gowoodsmen, assuming the 'Pies are willing to cop the fine, who do they bring in if Cox is weathered out?

[Haff]

Cox out, the sack in and cop the fine.

[Dave The Man]

With the Shocking Forecast it could be quite a wet game tommorow night. Us going might be look a Bit Mad.

I suspect Cox to be late out for Caff with the Forecast.

Great to see Aish back in after Dominating the last 2 games in the VFL. Hopefully with Confidence up he can show why he was Rated so Highly in the Draft in his Draft Year.

Cloke and Brown makes our Spine way better.

Though Freo has been back in lot better form last 3 Games.

I still struggle to see us winning this game after the last 2 Crap Games and we also not have a Good Record on Games after the Bye.

So I tip Freo by 20 pts

Wills? Debut in the wet and heavy conditions but can he run out a full game? Sack/Caff have the experience and smarts and the wet might slow down the game. Cox might clunk a couple but would be expected to bring the ball to ground. Which is the better choice?
