What to do if you are Fremantle

[OnSong]

The scenario is pretty simple:

Win big over Melbourne and you will play Geelong in Melbourne.
Win smallish over Melbourne, stay in Perth and play West Coast.

Of course, a win is rarely a given but it's pretty likely.

Lethal Leigh Matthews reckons he would try and manipulate the scores:

What would you do?

[Squids]

I didn't know West Coast had lost already..........

[Sky Pilot]

Yeah I'd be tanking. This is not mom and pop sport it's business. Serious business

[Squids]

West Coast will win tonight.

end thread.

I wish I seen this thread an hour ago when I put on a multi which had Freo the line (-53.5) as one of the legs.

When Ross Lyin says he won't be doing something it actually means he will do the opposite.

[Mr66]

Double chance is the best option.
Win a qualifying final and there might be a chance you could earn a home preliminary.

[Dog_ger]

Voted : Manage the margin, home finals are priceless

There is no other alternative.

Come first and lose....?

Come second and win...

You know what I mean...

What would you do...

[mighty_tiger_79]

providing the margin stays the same tonight and the hawks win

the dockers just need to manage the margin and stay in WA

I thought the margin had to be less then the Roos margin over GWS

[ORDoubleBlues]

Think the Fremantle brains trust would look at it and say that if we can't win in Melbourne, we're not going to go anywhere anyway and their record in Melbourne this year is pretty good and then to top it off, they may well have to play Adelaide in Adelaide or Sydney in Sydney the next week anyway.

[Squids]

Its not a home final, its a neutral venue.


Freo to win by 130

[Rik E Boy]

Go all out. Mucking about with your form didn't do Collingwood any favours last year. You need that form tap flowing at this time of year. Lyon seems to be all about removing the culture of mediocrity at Freo so they'll smash the Dees.

If you are Freo you hope Sydney beat Geelong in the early game and then you come out and match Norths margin against GWS and claim 6th and a home final

[the joker]

What Jim said, and if that happens their will be only two Victorian teams left in the last 6

[NO-MERCY]

Freo to win by 25 pts & play West Coast next week & also win that game.
It'll be bye bye West Coast 1st week of finals hopefully.

[The Dark Knight]

West Coast will win tonight.

end thread.

Well they didn't.

[mighty_tiger_79]

freo win by more then 11 pts they head to melbourne

[blues2002]

Wow. The AFL fixtures is a joke - ie they really needs all games on the last round played at the same time to avoid this manipulation.

It would be hilarious tho if Melbourne "got something" by losing by more than 11 points, then we could have the situation in the last 1/4 of both teams trying to score own goals (points). lol.

U guys make me lol
