Must have been a tough decision to drop Lloyd after a career best game. He’s on the up, looking for game time… is he entering the sights of the poachers? Time to Restump Podcast preview the Freo V GWS clash and pray for our mids.We’re not taking anything away from the boys for their win last week and you can only beat who you’re up against which they did. However, we’re going to need to go up a level to take care of the Giants.The midfield battle holds the key and with the likes of Taranto, Green, Kelly and Ward up against, no doubt, a Matty de Boer tagged Brayshaw, a Mundy off a 20 day break, a Will Brodie and second gamer Neil Erasmus who will know he’s been in an AFL game late Saturday night…. it’s a scary assignment. Hopefully some Darcy dominance somehow helps provide first use. Is it possible Rory Lobb might be the difference? Is there a little extra motivation for him in that could he be seeing this game as his audition? $7 for most goals? Don’t follow us, our results suggest we game irresponsibly! Jesse Hogan looked very lively last week against Gold Coast and there might just be a little bit extra pep in his step on Saturday as he lines up against us for the first time since his departure. Our forward pressure needs to be in the elite category because if not, Whitfield, Cumming and Perryman could cut us to ribbons. Schultzy, Freddy and Sonny….. give us a repeat of last week!This proves to be one intriguing and interesting game. Sure, we know we need to raise our level but, while they’ve shown positive signs, the Giants haven’t exactly set the year on fire with losses to Sydney at home and Richmond away. Plus they’re not the greatest of travelers with just a 37% winning strike rate away from home.However, whichever way you look at this game it does appear as though the midfield decides the result. Freo at $1.84 favourites…. we’re hoping the bookies get this one right but we’re not keen to part with any hard earned this week. But when all is said and done, we can’t wait for the challenge Saturday night. If you’re not sick of the Restump Podcast nonsense by now, you really should get yourself checked out because you can’t be at all well. However, on your way to see the Doctor, bung this half an hour in your ears and ironically take your mind off your issues! #ForeverFreo #FremantleDockers #Fremante #Dockers #AFL #AFLW #GWS #GreaterWesternSydney #NeverSurrender #Purple #BleedPurple #FreoLove #FreoLife #GoFreo #AFLMemes #FreoMemes #AFLPodcast #Sports #Sportspodcast #AFLEaglesGiantsSend us a textSupport the show
